STILL SLANDERING THE WOUNDED
SOLDIER.

The Union, of last evening, continues its
SANDERS of the brave and gallant wounded
soldier who heads the democratic union and
administration ticket in this county. It
says:
ssrhey have nominated a man for county clerk
IA tins county, whose only qualification is that for
4 short time he was IN the army
The same paper, in it's first notice of the
democratic union and administration ticket,
sneered at Mr.. Cook in the following langu
age:
''hIr. Cook is a young man who carries very
light weight and was never accused by ms friends
Of being over brilliant. He has been in the army
and what was his record there do not pretend
to know. He certainly would not make such a
clerk as this county ought to have and we have
idea the people will consent to place an lncompe-
tent man in that position. Mr.. C. may be, Tor
ought we know, clever young man, but we in
slst that is not the only qualification for Office
He may have been good soldier We leave Mr..
{. IN the hands of the people If they say let him
be county clerk, he will be.''
Let US see whether his 'tonly qualification
is that for short time he was in the army"

Very Respectfully.
II. 4. MERRILL, Principal.
b. f. Wilson, Teacher of Penmanship.

What does this say? As student he
maintained nigh rank p Scare evidence Of
high moral character t' and more than me
dunn ability ;" "Auogetser ,oOrtky ofpubIic
confidence and respect !"'
These are no ordinary terms of praise
when coming from the Principal of one of the
best Commercial Colleges in the country, and
from republicans, too.
Here is a little more of the same sort:
Mr.. Cook, one of Bryant, Stratton & Mer-
rllls students, Uery ,oOrthy and capable
young man, is nov candidate for the office
OF county clerk in Rock Island county. and
1homas +. Irish, another of their former
scholars, is superintendent of public schools
at Iowa City.-Darenpon Gazette.
Col. Williams, Maj. E. 7. Wells, Capt. l..
+. Dimick, Capt. james F. Copp, Lieut..
Arenschild, under whom be served, all give
dlm an excellent character, both as soldier
ana man. In intelligence, morals, man
hers,or appearance, he is every way the equal
Ii not the superior, of his opponent, while, on
account of his poverty, his wound, and his
widowed mother who is dependent upon him
ne has peculiar claims upon the sympathy
and support of every soldier, and every citi-
zen OF the county. 1t is shame that man
or newspaper can be found so base as to
cast such slurs upon him as we have quoted
from the organ of the Jim Beardsley negro
suffrage ticket. He may not be elected but
p" ." ' way "A most competent and suita-
t.r i-c,vn iOr the office. and he deserves to
succeed. Those who vote for him will have
the consciousness of casting their influence
and suffrage for one who richly deserves it,
The leading republican newspaper of Iowa
says he is ga rery soorthy and capable young
man :"
Yet the organ Of me negro-sufrage ticket
says he possesses no other qualification than
having been in the army o short time
lie was private soldier in Captain Corps
company (Col- Williams regiment), living
with his widowed mother in Hampton, when
he enlisted. With knapsack and musket he
performed his whole duty in the ranks, and
