/ gkss" The Democrats of Muscatine
county met in very small mass meet
ing last Saturday, and out of respect to
the party in its former days, consented
to let George w. Hunt, of Moscow, run
for County Judge, r. r. Wallace, OF
this city, for Clerk of the District Court,
and Mr. McElroy, of Sweetland, for Re
corder. We have no objections to their
running, believing their wind will run
out about Us soon as any set of men we
know of. Easy enough to beat that
ticket. Gentlemen, do you recollect the
vote of 1858:
asss" The Union Convention at the
Court House, on Saturday, was numer-
ously attended. only one township being
unrepresented. It was delegate con-
vention, and out of so delegates compos-
ing it, more than 70were present. The
utmost good feeling prevailed, the reso-
lutions We're sound, the candidates pre-
scented were unexceptionable, and we
are satisfied that we shall not be depend
ent upon the soldiers votes for success.

ways acceptable after good dinner, by
way of dessert. The soldiers will fix up
this little dish, and nary Copperhead
can taste its excellencies. O, how sick
they look!
LIKENEssEs OF DECEASED SOLDIERS.
Our readers will remember that some
time since J. 6. Evans, Esq, presented
to the Soldiers Aid Society splendid
album for the purpose of preserving
; likenesses of deceased soldiers from this
city and vicinity. The society subse-
quently appointed a committee, consist
nett and Mrs. H. Q. Jennison, to collect
the likenesses. They have endeavored
to do so, but find it difficult undertake
ing. All persons, therefore, having
such ikenesses are requested to send
them to the committee or leave them at
Evans Gallery. 1t is desired to have
the collection complete in time for ex.
hibition at the approaching Fair. We
hope, therefore, this request will be
complied with at once.
