For county officers are tried men, and true.
Let every patriot stand firm to their support
They are put forth by the only Union party
known in Iowa They will be supported
by every true Republican who understands
the position of parties in this State. and by Il
rery MANI if not all the War Democrats
The Republican party presents no other Is
sue than that Of devotion to the country. In
the language Of Douglas there can be but two
parties--Patriots and Traitors. The Demo-
cratic party in Iowa, as such, is not OF the
first class. So apparent is this, that every
traitor, and every sympathizer in the State
is actively at work for the success Of that par
ty this Fall, and every one of whom will vote
its ticket. The only Union Party in the State
present to the Union men of Muscatine coun-
ty the name Of
JOHN W. JAYNE
For Clerk of the District Court-a plain, hon
est, unassuming, unpretending man of intclil-
gence and education has been in Iowa nine
years; is a man of limited means, who has
titled the soil through Spring, Summer and
Fall, and in the Winter months has devoted
his time to educating the youth-ranking IN
his certificates as a No. l teacher. Mir.
Jayne is not unfamiliar with the practice and
forms Of law, having a very considerable
practical knowledge thereof. In the Summer
of 1861, like thousands of others, in response
to the Presidents call for troops, Mr.. Jayne,
together with his son, left his field and enlist
ed, after the organization Of the company, as
private in Company B, sth Regiment of Iowa
Infantry. He was present in the bloody bat
tie of Shiloh, where Iowa troops fought so
long and well. He was injured at that time
in the back by a shell. He was subsequently
Frustrated so low by that dreaded scourge in
camp, chronic diarohea, from which ne is
now slowly recovering. His brave boy was
also severely wounded in the same action,
and has been thereby deprived of the use OF
his right arm.
The soldiers in the field will not fail to ap-
precate the man who has fOrsaken the COM
forts and endearments of home to become
their compeer-with them enduring the long,
fatiguing march-suffered the pain of hunger
and thirst and to stand shoulder to shoulder
with them Oh the bloody field of death, to fight
for a common country. If lot, will the faith
ers and brothers of those valiant men be less
appreciative, and less willing to reward the
patriot who has shown his professions by his
works. Let all rally to the support of the
patriot soldier who stands upon no condition
al Union platform framed by sympathizers
with treason.
BRISToN DARLINGTON,
For Treasurer and Recorder, came to this
county, from Ohio, in 1912. Mr. D. is a
member of the Society Of Friends-an honest,
conscientious, devoted Quaker. His religion
is that of "peeacc and good will to all men. i"
The Quakers have always been opposed to
war, but lovers of country. They are devo-
tedly attached to country, and opposed to the
present rebellion They feel that they cannot
conscientiously bear arms, but their hearts,
their sympathies, and their prayers, are all
with and for the Union. Mr.. Darlington is
not opposed to the war-he has no sympathies
with rebels-would even at his advanced age
bear arms, were it not for conscientious scru-
pies over which he has no control. No Qua
ker can be found in arms against the Govern
ment None have embarrassed the action or
the plans of the Administration. They are
strictly loyal, but non combatants. Mr.. OAR
lington enjoys the reputation of unsullied hon.
or, and unimpeachabIe integrity. Fer nearly
a year he held the position Of Deputy Treas
urer and Recorder, when, at the recent session
of the Board of Supervisors he was elected
Treasurer and Recorder, which position he
now holds. With him the public funds will
be ever safe. Let US give honest Brinton
Darlington a rousing majority.
