Joseph Hayne Is candidate for Treasur-
er. 1t is unnecessary to.introduce him.
One of the oldest citizens of the county, he
Is confessedly the most popular man in it.
He is popular because he deserves to be;
because ne Is known to be incompatible;
because everybody knows that he will do
his duty, violate no trust, save the peoples
and look sharp after the Treasury.
His business habits, his experienced in coun-
Millions of funds have rassad thrns'ss his
hands without the loss Of a cent. The SER
vices of such a man in the Office Of Treasurer
are invaluable, and hence the people insist
that Mr.. Hayne shall serve them another
term. We have no don BIT but his prudence,
economy and systematic business habits
have saved the county more than his sala-
nv. There is no dang r Of Joseph Hayne.
The people will not consent to exchange
him for an untried man. Let him have a
majority corresponding to his merits.
George A. Derby, ourcandidate for Sher-
iff, during the present term, the most Ia
borious and vexatious one in the history
of the county, has demonstrated in an en-
inent degree his fitness for the Office, and
has acquired the unlimited confidence of
all who have been in position to judge OF
his merits az an officer. He Is q man of
good Judgment, open-hearted, generous.
and as honest as the day is long. There il
no better man living than Derby. He
ought to have another term. Give it to
him emphatically. .
Major James 8. Porter is our candidate
for County Judge. He is citizen Of Of
tumwa Of long standing. At an early
stage of the war, he left his home and an
interesting family to vindicate the unity
and integrity Of his country on the field OF
battle. He enlisted AS a private in, we
think, Co. d, 18th Iowa Infantry; was cho-
sen First Lieutenant, and rose by merit
successfully from that position to Captain
and to Major. He was brave soldier. ar
able officer, and was universally beloved
and respected in the army. Major Porter
is a man of superior capabilities, every
way qualified for the office for which hi
has been named. He has claims which
will not be disregarded by the voters o.
old Wapello.
b. A. Spaulding, for Superintendent o
Public Schools, is one of the pioneers Of tn,
country. He was for some twenty years
minister Of the Gospel in Ottumwa, o
which he was one Of the earliest settlers
Few men have led lives more devoid o
offence towards al men. II. he hos m en-

Harvard University, and Of the Andover
Theological Seminary, is ripe scholar.
and has at different periods of his life had
practical experience in teaching. It is be-
ieved that the educational intere SITS Of the
county will, in his hands, be ably and
faithfully administered. '. =. FL.
The Office Of Coroner il not perhaps. the
most important one.-in the county. but we
present most worthy and capable man
Tor 1t, in the person of Mr.. A. l.. Chamber
lain, of Agency City, veteran member OF
the ed Iowa Infantry. .I
Republicans See to it that every one of
t 'in' names are on every ticket, and that
every vote is deposited in the ballot box.
This is all that will be necessary. ."2
Time Short--Work Important! mi
Before another issue of the Courier. the
e'ect'on Will be decided. 1t is the last on.
We shall have to influence IN.
result by anything we can saw. We never
Ieit the Importance Of an election mora
than we do now. It will decide ,yh.,h.-
or fl not the Union men Of the country are to
nave the power to finish the work thew
nave SO Tar completed upon principles thew
believe the wisest and best for the conntry
Or whether those who have been opposed
20 them are to do it upon principles differ
mt, and we believe hostile, to permanent
peace and perpetual Union.
It's OF vital Importance that the Union
party shall be continued in power until
hey can finish their work. 1t is Of more
infinitely, than the fortunes
u any man or class Of men. Men. as
'uch, are insignificant in this emergency.
Every true Union man must zee that de-
ection leading to defeat now endangers all
We nave been contending for; and NAV
ender all past successes in the war and in
egislation fruitless. The Constitutional
amendment may he lost; Congress NAV
70 lost; Slavery may he restored; old no.
ltical combinations may be re-establisbed
n" Copperhead and rebel again rule the
and and bring on another bloody war
othing can insure us against those fear
vi results, but the success of the Republi-
nm Union party in this election. ..
And who would falter now when onlv
ne victory more Is necessary to secure all
nese great results so important in the es-
NATION OF every patriot and real friend
his country. Is any one willing to
oandon the glorious old flag now when
is advancing in the very face of the en-.
my! Can the past be so easily forgotten,
Las memory ceased to serve us, Are we
'hamed of what we have done, or would ,
Q undo it! .. ..... .'s. =,
Brethren Of the Union Republican senti-

'ther, and we have, as a party, accom- l
ished what we may well be proud off,
mon soldiers and Union civilians! TO- {
'ther we have waded through these scenes :
trial at the South and at the North. The I
'ties devolving upon us have not been O

Q same flag, the same Government, the
