THE 55TH REP. DIST. MAKES A GOOD
NOMINATION.

There was holden ut New Hartford
on Monday last Union Convention
which nominated a candidate for Rep
resentative, for the District composed of
Butler and Grundy Counties, as well as
County officers for the former County.
In connection with the first named
office we have the unalloyed satisfaction
of announcing the nomination of L. ID.
Tracy, gentleman well known to
most Of our people. This nomination
reflects credit upon the good judgment
of the people of that District, and we
are very certain that they will never re-
greet their action in this matter, but
hereafter will look back to the event
with pride and satisfaction. Mr.. Tracy
is q man possessing talents of no mean
order, coupled with which he has tire
less energy, indomitable perseverance,
and that pleasantly affable and courte-
Gus manner which enables its possessor
to make and retain friends and exert
wide and healthy influence. He is a
quick and accurate thinker, logical and
correct in his reasoning, and is ready
and effective speaker. In short, we be-
lieve him to possess all the requisites for
a first-ciass legislator, and are firm in
the belief that no district in the State
will be more faithfully and creditably
in the next Legislature
than the 55th. OF his almost unani-
nous election no one who is acquainted
with the political complex on of the dis
trict has any doubt. 8
We are also pleased to learn that our
and esteemed friend Judge
Palmer was renominated for Treasurer.
This was deserved compliment to
most efficient official and worthy man.
Mr.. Hollenbeck, of Willoughby, was
for sheriff. So well sat
isfied were the people with his past
two years service, that they wisely con-
Guided they could not afford to run the
risk Of displacing him.
We have not been able to learn of the
other candidates, but understand that
the proceedings of the Convention were
published in this paper, and ii
they come to hand in time may be found
elsewhere.

Soldiers and COppCrheads.

We are without news from the SOL
diers' anti negro suffrage convention,
which met in Des Moines on Wednes-
day, and also the White Mans" con-
yention, which convened at the same
place yesterday. We have too much
confidence in the good sense and ear
nest patriotism of Iowa soldiers TO be-
licve that they will, as class, fall into
this Copperhead snare. The call for
the Soldiers Convention was begotten
in eopperhead noodles, first saw the
light in copperhead prints, and has been
vehemently espoused by that class of
politicians. 1t will be observed that
the Soldiers Convention is called but
one day previous to the White Mans"
Convention. The game of the Cops. is
patent. Soldiers are not. as general
thing, scneming politicians, and the
Henry Clay Deans, Mahonys, Bying-
tons, ct a., will have their orators, and
wire-workers there to mould the con-
vention to their will, and secure the
adoption of such course of policy as
will work to the advantage of the OPP
ponents of the very cause in which the
soldiers have so nobly fought Ppba-
bly, the convention of yesterday merely
adopted the nominee of the soldiers
convention, and thus hope to secure to
the INSTRUMENTATION party this fall
the vote of the soldiers. AS we said be-
fore, we do not believe that this scheme
Is going to work. The veterans do, or
at least should, understand that while
they were In the field battling 80 gal
laptly for the Old Flag, these same men,
who are now seeking to strike hands
with them, were their bitteresy enemies,
denouncing them as Lincoln hire
Nngs," refusing to vote dollar for the
support of the cause, and in every man
ner possible endeavoring to cripple the
Government and injure the cause in
which brave Iowa boys in blue were
periling their Hives. So antagonistic
are these tive elements that we believe
1t impossible 10 unite them, and to us it
is disgusting sight to see the crawling,
fawning attitude the copperheads have
assumed towards the soldiers. Boys,
yen should know these men by this
time, and spurn any overtures they
may make for political combination as
disgraceful and contaminating. .5.1

The Atlantic Cable.

An abstract of the report OF the officers
of the Telegraph Cable Expedition is
published, showing the following facts:
The breaking occuredabout 1890 clock,
on the afternoon of the I'd instant at Ill
iata Point, where the water was 800
yards deep and when over 1000 miles
of cable had .been plaid out, in conse-
quence of its becoming injured by chat
ing on the stern of the ship while re-
hauling q portion of it on board the
Great Eastern to remove another defect
in insulation, which had been discover
ed. After losing it, it was grappled three
times, being on one of the occasions
brought to within l 200 yards of the wa
ter's surface, but the weight was too
much for the graphing rope, which each
time broke and dropped the cable. The
last attempt to raise it was made on the
18th inst, when, not meeting with sue
cess, a buoy was placed over the spot
where it was lost, and the Great Eastern
sailed for England, and her consorts,
the Terrible and Galetes, for st. Johns,
where the latter vessels arrived on last
Tuesday evening, rs heretofore announ-

LIQUoR DEALERS CONVENTION
The Liquor Dealers Convention, which
adjourned at Des Moines, Aug. 18th, as
serted that it deemed the liquor trade a
legitimate business that it represents
capital at least $1,000, 900 in this State,
and the same, being recognized and tax
ed by Congress, ought to be protected
by the State. They denounce the pro-
hibitory law rs u usurpation and an
infringmentupon the rightsand liberties
of the people, as inconsistent with the
spirit of the United States constitution
and inimical to the best interests of the
inhabitants of this State. They say
that heretofore their just demands fol-
the repeal of the obnoxious law have
been frustrated by designing politicians
of all parties. Therefore they resolve
that they will support no candidate for
state, county, or legislative office, who
will not pledge himself in writing in
favor of the repeal Of the present law
and the enactment of a jndicious license
law. The present law allows the unre-
stricted sale of lager beer, native wines,
and cider, and it is possible that these
gentlemen have made a mistake in at
tempting to dictate terms.
