JONI M8I10, cOItOT VI Cu0 OOUTVUt,
has repeatedly declared that have in
sisted that he should 60 to the war. His
assertion is untrue. l have never by
word or insinua,ion limited at such de-
sire The decl ration was made by him
for the purpose Of relocating a chal-
lenge to me to enlist. Now | have prop
ostion to make, by which, if Mr.. Matiu
Can bring about its acceptance, he can
accomplish all be desires, to-wit: get
rid for the lime being, Of the Daily and
Tri. Weekly CoUR1AR 1t is this:
The democracy Uf the I'd Congress
ional District have nominated me for
Congress. The Republicans of the same
District have nominated Hon. Hiram
Price, for the same Office. Although
consider ng myself one Of the humblest
ind,v duais IN the District, yet the party
with VIII CHI l am identified, have as tai
as being q candidate il co cerned, p;ac
ed me on An equality with the Repnhli-
can candidate. Nov | propose without
an eff" or 'but" to accept every prop
osi,ion made by Mr.. Mah,n, and enIi>,
IN Or. of the new or old regiments, pro
vided he and his friends will substitute
the name Of Mr.. Price, instead of that
of M. Mahin
lst. l will suspend the publication
OF the Daily and Tri Weekly Courier
I'd. l will obIigate myself to accept
no position during the wa, above that
Of private, if any should be Offered, pro
vidcd Mr. Price will do the same.
The pubic will readily see that this
propos ton is tair one, which certainly
WAS not the case With that of Mr.. Ma
bin.
The editor Of the Davenport Gazette
hav exh bited hvey interest IN my
behalf as regards my eniisting, csn nov,
perhaps, brirg about the end he 9"
much desires, by using his influence to
persuade Mr.. Price to accept this pro-
post on. Ed. Il. THAYaK.
We presume the proposition will not
be accepted.
SroPPED.-Exccpt Tor the purpose Of
filing up the old regiments The recruit
ing business in Iowa has been brought
to stand still. No more enlisting now
for new regiments. Those who wish to
avoid the draft must enlist to fir up
regiments now in the field. The draft
is to come off in this county tomorrow.
This is the last day in which there will
be any cnlistments of any kind whatev.
er. The last chance either take it or
wait for the CONSUMPTION.
CONE AND Do Ir.-The Oskaloosa
Tunes notices the fact that the Scott
County Agricultural Society is out
stripping everv other Society in the
magnl6cence of her premiums and adds:
1--WE hope to see Mahaska county vel
represented at this Fair, as we are con-
fdent she can pluck the two OF the best
prem ums offered"
That suits US; come right along and
take the money.
j. 3. EDMoNDs Eso.-We see a par
agraph going tie rounds that thie gen.
'leman, resident Of Iowa City, and .
very high toned citizen, has pledged
himself to stump the Sd Congressional
District for Mr.. M~hooy. In the last
number Of the State Press, M. Ed.
monds denies ever having made any
such assertion. So much for SO much.
TIE Washington correspondent Of the
Chicago Times says that Judge Advo.
cate Turner has consented to the trial
Of Mahony some time this week.
The CARTEL TO Bs ANNuLED.-The
Richmond Wig IS out IN a strong arti-
