tickets headed ~ the Republican State
ticket. Look out for them! Give these
<iisorganizers, crazy for Office, rebuke
at the polls next Tuesday, which shall
teach them their folly, and lead them

give no good reason for boiling the reg

Iowa State Fair.

The Iowa State Fair, held last week
is in all respects. worthy of lengthy
report; but our columns are too crowd
ed to afford it. The Chicago Ti5anae's
special gives tho following summing
up:
1.-THE aggregate receipts of the fair
for the four days have been full ten
thousand dollars. This is full three
thousand dollars in excess of the re-
Fceipts of any previons year, and speaks
well for the young and vigorous State
Of Iowa. Had the weather been pleas
ant, the receipts would haze reached al
least $4,000. The premiums paid foot
up about four thousand dollars, while
the other expenses will not exceed two
thousand more. This will leave the
handsome balance Of four thousand dol
lars in the treasury. The officers of the
Society, and the members of the vari-
Gus committees, have discharged their
duties with remarkable promptness and
fidelity. Mr.. Melendy, the President,
is just the right man in the right place.
The society is fortunate in having such
a head. He is q worthy successor of
Jud &c Wright. DR.. Shaiiar, as Secrets
ry is a model in his vocation, and de-
serves the reputation he has gained in
his position. The society win study
their own interests, and hold him in his
place for many years"

But e few days more remain in which
to complete the work before the Union
men Of Iowa. That tho setting sun on
the 10th of October will go down upon
the State redeemed and disenthralled
from the power of 'Possums and cop
perheads, [ have not single doubt
[ cannot believe it possible for men
who possess u spark of Republicanism
or loyalty TO be so stultifed and deluded
rs to give their suffrage to the Benton
ticket. So bold are the tricks resorted
to; so apparent is the swindlc, that
none but a wilful ignoramus can over
look them. Base hypocrisy and false
hood have been reSorted to in every
conceivable form to deceive the public,
and complete the game of making Ben
tonitcs rake coppsrhead chestnuts out

Democratic Convention, and the Cen
trial Committee appointed by that Con-
vention, of which j. NJ. Elwood is
Chairman, to be the regularly consti-
tuted Central Committee of the Demo-
cratic party of the State"
The Convention referred to was that

In q dispatch to Governor Stone, Mr..
Benton says: ~ am not the Demo-
cratic candidate; - and in his let
ter of acceptance he says: ~ do not
know whether or not l shall re-
ceive the Democratic vote.'' Now
