As we write, the indications are
that Iowa has given Lincoln "A maiori-
ty of not less than fourteen thousand,
and perhaps fifteen Thousand. We
have gained in every county, and in
almost every township yet heard
from. In nearly all we gain largely,
and in some cases immensely. No
such victory has ever before been
achieved by SO young "a State.
This splendid triumph has been
brought about by hard work. work
in all honorable ways, and by indi-
vidual members Of the party every
where. Never was the party so
well organized. County committees
township committers-school district
committees ever in many places
have been formed, and they have all
worked long and faithfully. They
are entitled to the piaisc Of all men
who voted for OId Abe, and have the
fear of God before their eyes.
II. NJ. lIoXic. tlic chairman of the
State Central Committc, is at once en-
crgctic and sagacious. He has been
constantly vigilAnt since the State
Convention, and constantly active.
The amount of head work and arm
work he has done is immense. He
has had correspondence in every
township in the Statc-hc has urged
upon all the duty of labor and the
necessity of thorough organization-
he has seen to it that documents were
distributed and speeches made in all
parts of Iowa. In short, he has dur"
his whole duty and don" it well. IL"
has been cordially assisted hy his
coadjutors on the committee, and by
his efficient Secretary, DR.. Brnwnrll.
The candidates for clcctors-no
longer merely candidatrs-have made
a splendid Col. Warren has
spoken almost every day for months,
and has made votes and friends every
where. 10 Chapline has done finely,
and as for the District Electors, those
who know Mcpherson and Pomcroy.
know that they have accomplished all
that the highest o]ratorical powers en-
gagged in a noble cause can do. We
have all heard P~omcroy's splendid ell
oqucncc. That of Mcpherson is no
less powerful, and he is also as fine a
fellow as Pomcroy, in personal char
acter.
The State officers have all done
well too-Sclls and Cattcll on the
stump, and Jones and Miller by good
work. As for Noursc, Attorney Cen
cral elect, he has won hosts of friends
and admirers by the fine speeches he
has everywhere made.
OF stumpcrs we have had many
and they have done great service to
the cause. Harlan, Grimes, Kirk
wood and General Rice, among the
Office holders have all rolled up their
sleeves and gone into the work with
carncstncss and power, whilst Lieut..
Gov. Rusch has made some excellent
speeches not only in Iowa but in New
York. The "high private" stumpcrs
have been numerous. john a. kas-
son, w. Penn Clarke, Henry O'CVn-
ncr, Jacob Butler, w. II. +. Gurlcy,
f. n. Bates, w. II. Graft, John Ed
wards, j. +. Wilson, Judge Rankin,
Samuel +. Miller, Col. Saunders, Geo.
May, Judge Stone, Judge Smyth, Tom
~Drummond, Bill Fairfield, Frank Pal
mcr--all these and others no less eff,
Gent have spoken often in different
parts Of the State, and, at their indi-
vidual expense and trouble, have
chcerfully done a great deal to swell
the general triumph.
As for Nandevcr and Curtis, they
have made a gallant fight, and will
soon enter upon their just rewards.
Never was there 50 hotly contested a
Congressional fight. Now that the
smoke Of the heated contest has clear
ed away, the banners of the Repuhli-
cans are 20 on high, whilst "Our
Ben" and Cole lie fiat on their backs
a star gazing, the last weltcring in
the gore Of his own colrS GHd caircs.
The Republican press of Iowa,
whether city OF country, is not infrri-
or to that Of any State in the Union.
How much it has done, no man can
tcll-certainIy very much.
