A LAND LOOKING TARA party con-
sisting Of Judge Rose, Capt. Ellsworth
aud sou, H. X. Botsford, G. X. Kinpsley
and q. Ch'lds, returned day or two since
from an excursion across the prairies ia
the Missouri. Disregarding roads, they
proceeded near the line Of the D. l. s. G.
4. X. through Webster, Pocahon,as oad
buena Vista counties to Storm Lake,
thence to Ida, and down the Maple river
to the Missouri crossed into Nebraska,
and passing through the Omaha reserya.
ton, went to Sioux City and returned by
the valley Of Floyd River and following
the line Of the Railroad to Cherokee, on
Little Sioux river, and again Buena Vista
County, and thence BY way of Sac City
and Twin Lakes OH their homeward route.
They report an abundance of game, es.
pec'aI'y elk, good appearance of the
crops wherever the country is settled, and
. very encouraging prospect for settlers
in the valley Of the rivers named, particu.
larly for stock growers. They consider
Ida, Mapleton, Onaws, and some other
points on or near the Maple, rs important
points, also Decatur, in Nebraska. The
more favorable position Of Sioux City, and
the fine character Of the land on the Mis-.
souri, bottom in the vicinity, as we'll as
that in the Floyd valley in Woodbury. and
Plymouth counties, is too we'll known to
need commentator from any one. The
we'll situated lands and timber in Chero.
kee county, are less known, but in view
OF Railroad prospects, eventually, they
are not less desirable. Cherokee, The
County Seat, is beautifully located, and
will be one Of the best points between
Fort Dodge and Sioux City. The inter
vening 70 miles between that place aud
Fort Dodge, is mostly fne grain and grass
land, but has the disadvantage of scar.
city of timber. Some of the best govern
ment land 10 the State, is along the rail-
road line, in the even numbered sections
within IS miles west of Fort Dodge. The
party also report very favora5ly on the
facility With which new aud direc. road
may he opened from here to Cherokee, by
which the travel distance to Sioux City
would be shortened nearly 20 miles. If
there were settlers established on the &c.
dar Creek, Coon river, and at Storm Lake,
this route would soon become the travelled
one to Sioux City. The whole route
would be near that of the railroad. We
hope for the benefit Of the Western coun
ties, that such road will be opened as
soon as practicable.
PoLlrIcAL ApArHY.-There is no use Of
trying to hoodw the fact that the nom.
ination of Col. Stone was very unfortu
nate step for the Republican party Of this
State. The central organ OF the RepuLli.
can party in Clayton county, the Journal,
refuses to support the ticket, and in its
last issue has the following signi6can. par

In speaking Of the Republican State
Conyention, the Iowa Public Record says,
"1t'was the largest and most enthusiastic
Convention ever held in Iowa" As re-
CARDS its dimensions we presume this so
far is correct, but if the editor Of the Rec
ord had seen the delegates from this coun-
ty On their return home, his idea about
1.-THE enthusiastic part would have been
somewhat lessened. We wot Of some who
went to Des Moines on business of pri
vate nature others were willing to make
certified affidavit that they were not
theresa enthusiastic did they feel
One delegate from Fayette county, our
able District At,orney-Milo McGla,hery
felt SO enthusiastic that when the
Convention proceeded to elect member
of the Central Committee from the North,
he arose and declined, saying that for the
564 days the 10Th Judicial District was
for all practical purposes in the State of
Minnesota, and for the 365,h day i. re-
quired no Central Committee; we could
manage our own affairs. This must have
been very Enthusiastic announcement
