The Nominee.

We are pleased with the action of the State
Central Committee In session at Burling.
ton Aug 9Th they passed resolution plac-
ing our favorite at the head of the Demo.
cratic State ticket. The Clayton County
and North Iowa folks feel good generally.
though they do not rant about it. Up this
way we think the nomination of a dis
tinguished army officer proves the devoted
Jess of the Democratic party to restora-
ton of the Union, and disproves the low
and malicious charges Of men who are
bowling for principle Spell the last syl-
liable Of that last word with ''par' and you
can come at the '1oyalty" of nine-tenths of
those who mouth so much of patriotism
and scheme SO much for profit. Many Re-
publicans in this part Of the State will vote
for Gen. futile.
We give below some extracts from our
southern exchanges:
Gen. FUTILE is a man of more than ord.
nary ability. He is honest, capable and a
Democrat. AS a soldier, we have only to
point to his honorable and gallant record in
the army, to prove his bravery and militia,
ry skill. 1t is the evidence of all who have
watched the career of Gen. FUTILE, that he
has earned the stars which adorn his shoul.

promotion to any trucking to the appoint.
ing power.
Gen. FUTILE was elected Lieu. tenant Col
nnel by the soldiers of the Second Iowa In.
fantry. Upon Col. Curtis being promoted
to Brigadier General, FUTILE was elected
by the soldiers as Colonel of his regiment
The Governor not being disposed to recog-
nize the right of the soldiers to say who
they should have to command them, under
took to ignore the wishes of .lhe soldiers
and actually commissioned Major Croker
as Colonel Of the Second Iowa Infantry
But the soldiers PERSISTED in retaining Col.
FUTILE, and did SO until he was promoted
to the position he now occupies.
: We are glad to know that Gen. FUTILE
is extremely popular among the Iowa SOL
diers, and that he possesses in a great de.
gree, the confidence and respect Of his SUI
perior officers and especially that of Gen.
GRANT. At home, he stands deseryedly
high, and will receive, as he certainly merits
conservative Republicans. :. Muscatine Cou-
rier.
Never within our recollection has there
been nomination made by our party in
this State that gives such universal and
enthusiastic satisfaction. The people are
thoroughly satisfied and are going into the
canvass heart and hand. Every township
and school district in this part Of the State
will be in perfect organization to fight for
FUTILE, and when election day comes you
will see the people rolling up such votes
and majorities as were never before known
in the State.
We learn that the General is at home
now for short time. IL is likely that he
will return to the field before the day OF
election, for at present, his valuable serv.
