STATE TICKET.

Convention held at Dcs Moines last week. -
Each candidate is worthy Of, and will receive
the united support Of the Republican party,
and the truly loyal Democracy.
The following notice of the several nomi-
necs we take from the Buchanan County
Guardian: - 81 ,. We.
DR.. Wright, the candidate for Secretary Of
State, has been a resident Of Delaware County
for nine years, and for eight of those years
he has filled the position of District Clerk
Through all the political mutations Of that
county Mr.. Wright has retained his hold
upon the people, and by his fitness for his
duties, by his honesty Of purpose, by his
personal popularity, he has been enabled to
, secure series Of endorsements at the ballot
box that were most complimentary to him.
His appearance and manners, the evident
honesty Of nature Of the man, every where
won him friends among the delegates, and
many from the different parts Of the State,
who had known him for long years, endorsed
him strongly. He will certainly make a
most careful, most honest, and most popu.
lar officer -.. . ...as..... 81. g- srr.E
| Of Mr.. Cattell it is unnecessary to speak.
So great and unusual has been the confidence
he has inspired, that, though he has already
been elected for two terms, unanimous de.
mand came up from all sections Of the State
| 10 have him continued in his responsible po-
sition, and he was nominated by reclamation.
Firm, prudent. Of incompatible integrity, no
man can better serve the people in the deli
cate position Of auditing officer.
The large vote given to Mr.. Jones for a
third term was most complimentary to him
as an officer. Mr.. Holmes, however, sue
cecded in obtaining the nomination. He is
popular in his own county, and has served
rs County Judge and as Senator, and has
always carried more than his party VOTE
The good opinion Of his neighbors has been
impressed upon his colleagues Of the Senate
and most decidedly upon the Convention
He undoubtedly adds strength to the ticket.
! Charley Neurse had no opposition for the
Attorney. Generalship. His first term has
proven most satisfactory to the legal frater-
nifty, and socially and politically he is one Of
the most popular men in the State. He is
one of the best takers on the stump in the
State, and secesh Democracy has reason to
fear his wit, his logic, and his inyective, IN
the present canvass.
Mr.. Harvey, the nominee for Register Of
the Land Office, has been repeatedly brought
forward by the Republicans Of the Southwes-
tern part of the State, as their choice for Of
fetal position. Their endorsement of him
was most hearty and unqualified. lie has
been tried by them and found most compe-
tent and honest, as his exterior indicates
There is no doubt that his name will give
strength to the party in Southwestern Iowa
MONSTER WAR MEETING.
Last Saturday there was mammoth and
enthusiastic war meeting in Chicago. The
business houses Of the city were closed, and
the people turned out en- masse. We annex
few extracts from speeches made on the
occasion. They breathe the right spirit:

that We should fight with the sword in ono

I'VE have earnest hard fighting to do, and
we must bring to bear, in crushing this re-
bellon, every fundamentally within oul

mans war, carried on to protect the rights Of
the white man; grant that it is; then we
should surely preserve as many of them as
possible to enjoy those rights after the coun
try is restored and war has ceased. We
must not stop to talk and argue about the
equality of races. If, as is said, ..the negro
is an inferior race, then let us put them for
ward and kill them off, instead Of the white
men.-Rep. DR.. Tiffany. .
