HUBBARD DEFEATED!

Las. Saturday the decency' party
the party Of - great moral idea the
od and humanity" party-met in mass
convention in this city to elect delegates
to the Congressional and Judicial con.
ventions to be held sometime during the
dog days at Webster City and Sac City.
The patriots were out in their strength Of
numbers, strength Of "spirits,' and
strength Of muscle.
The convention was called to meet at
the Clerks office at 2 O'Clock, p. NJ. A
few hours before the time, Hubbard 5
odice-holders learned with alarm and dis
may that large majority OF the people
had quietly CONE to the conclusion to
dispense with the congressional services
Of Hubbard, Of Indiana. This informa>
ton created a. much CONSERVATION among
them as if a tbuader.boh had descended
into their mds. from a cloudless sky
Enjoying the peaceful consciousness tina.
they had fought bravely (for Hubbard)
and were we'll fed, they were astounded Ut
The tsmeri,y Of the people in presum;ng
to raise their voices in opposition to the
controller Of Federal p"p i" Northwestern
iowa. They Eel. bad they perspired
freely; they Assem- blcd upon The high.
ways and in the byways, and cussed and
discussed principally the former. They
cussed the people-shey cussed them
selves for not ascer.aining the feeling of
che people, and they cussed loud aud
deep and vehemently The REGISTER, for
having informed the people Of the cor
supsion, venali,y and seI6-hness Of Hub
bard. They felt that their cause was lost,
unless they took advantage Of one Of the
many little political tricks Of which they
acquired = knowledge through one of
their number, Who, u few yea.s ago, prac-
sioed them as Breckinridge- Lecompton-
pro-slavery demagogue. This they resolv.
ed 10 do; accordingly a little before the
time for tho meeting Of the convention,
they and their few adherents, repaired to
III" Clerks office, and quickly organized
the meeting by appointing the Postmas-
ter chairman. A motion WAS speedily
made and adopted 10 cleo. delegates to the
Congressional Convention by acclama-
ton, and two dubbardites were chosen.
Just - the convention was about to
proceed to vote by ballot for delegates to
tho judicial convention, the people began
70 arrive, aud then commenced scene Of
confusion that threw into the shade the
most accomplished performances Of the
+" snterri6ed" under the leadership Of the
present Register Of the Land Odice.-
n ,sions and counter-motions we're made
IL profusion, but the odice-holders' chair
man was true to bic friends, and decided
Ill votes against the high-psivates. As
the motions multiplied, tho enthusiasm"
OF the party of great moral idsa in.
creased, and numerous propositions were
made to eight. Bets Of $50 and upwards
were freely offered that one God and
humanity fellow could knock another Of
tho same persuasion into mass Of jelly
in inst two minutes and : hall, but tho
beta we're not taken, and consequently the
jelly va not made. -
Seeing that they had no show in the
o6ice-holders' organization, tho mass Of
the people, under tho leadership Of Chss.
K. Howard, Geo. W. Kingsnor,h, Joseph
Shearer, J. W. Bosler, and others, organ
lied convention, and proceeded to tho
election Of delegates By ballot 70 The con.
gr4Asional and judicial conventions. The
pcoos1disgs of this convention--~hich
Hobberd's organ, tho Journal, refused to
p0blish-can be found in another column.
The Office holders are crest-fallen, down
in tho mouth, and badly demoralized.-
Hubbard il beatsa.
Thus the God and humanity party held
their double-bArrsllsd convention.
