A man calling himself Mckinley, and
claiming to be Doctor, who has been in
our city for some time, peddling curative
about which we know nothing, recently
left his hotel, suddenly and suspiciously,
giving cause for much talk on the streets
and not little newspaper itemizing. The
Dubuque Herald charges him with entic-
ing young girl away from her home in
that city, and leaving her among strangers,
victim of the impostor he is. From
the information we have now the case look 8
darkly enough, and should the charges
against him prove true we hope hemay
receive the full penalty of the laws. Peo-
pie cannot guard too securely against such
impostors, who are numerous throughout
the country.

1t affords us much qualification to state
that Hon. REUBEN NOBLE, the leading
lawyer of North Iowa, resident of Clay
ton county for over 20 years, is out boldly
for the Philadelphia Platform. We have
seen his record in writing on t,co occasions
since we left home, and we learn that he
does not hesitate to beard the lions, the IT,
gers and the monkeys of the radical cara
van On all proper occasions. A little per-
sonal, "private'' matter between us, will
not disturb the fraternity which binds
those who look first to the unity of the Re-
public, and afterwards to minor matters.
NOBLE was the Chairman of the late Re-
publican Convention of Clayton Co. In
personal views we think NOBLE was
wrong, relative to our course, but of that
no matter. We shall see.

THE senior Editor of this paper reached
home from Philadelphia on Monday night,
per Mil. & Pr. du Chen Railway, George
Redington, ESQ.,, commanding. He re-
ports himself as sound in body and not
badly injured at heart considering the
dreadful habits he has, the ruin he has
inflicted OIL the youth of this city and the
various other fattering remarks which a
friendly cotemporary has bestowed upon
him during his absence!
We think it a pity that some talented
men so conduct themselves as to be not
worthy of notice, but it is choice Of
their own and we generously yield to the
desire they evince for obscurity. A resi-
dencc of over ten years at McGregor and
an open hand in social and political life il
our only record. We abide the verdict Of
public opinion.

Conservative Convention.

The Dubuque Herald of Saturday say,
"In another column will be found a call for
a Congressional Democratic Convention, to
be held at Independence, Sept. TO- We
cannot see the call in any issue of the Her.
aid. John Gharky and Geo. M. Gray were
the two leading members of the Democrat
ic Cong. Committee and both are out of the
state. The Craftsmanship of the Commit
tee devolves on Plus Emerson of Dubuque,
who is authorized to call Convention for
this purpose; but we cannot find the call
in the Herald, hence we are in the dark as
to the whole matter.
We are now in receipt of the following /:
GRAND RATIFICATION MEETING.
A Grand Convention for the purpose of
ratifying the proceedings Of the late Phila-
delphia Convention, will be held at West
Union, Iowa, on the 18th day of Septem-
Der, 1866, at o'clock p. NJ. Eminent
speakers have been invited and their names
will be announced when informed who
will be present. Everybody is invited and
grand turnout expected.
By order of State Executive Committee

tive Republican, and A. G. Case Esq, of

The State Executive Committee, appoint
cd by the Iowa Delegation in session at
Philadelphia, arranged for the District
Ratification meetings under the consolida-
ton of parties there made; this is ours
for the Sd District. 1t has been suggested
that candidate for Congress be selected
on this occasion. We believe this sug-
gestion to be good one. Let all the
people come together. Conduct the meet
ing on the model plan of the Philadelphia
Convention let the counties each indicate
their choice of the man wanted let the
chairman of each county delegation cast the
vote in convention and when the candidates.
selected, then let us have little jubilee
over the growing prospects of defeating,
even in Iowa, the cormorants who have
grown plethoric out Of the the public
treasury and insolent towards those who
are the only true source Of power
This plan of selecting candidate would
give all the people a chance to speak.
Each county could have its ratification
meeting when the Candidate comes round.
Now 60 to work, every man who desires
the unity Of the Republic and let us make
the West Union Convention RoUsER!

here, sleeping hours excepted-and they
were few-talk, conferences and sightsee-

the Convention l remained at the famous
CONTINENTAL, with perhaps 1000 others
stored in its halls and chambers. The
GIRARD isjust opposite: also a large and
elegantly furnished house, crowded, like
the other, with guests, delegates and look
ers-on. The Wigwam was two miles away,
nearly opposite Girard College very neat,
plain massive structure, built, you remem-
Der for the education of orphan boys (of
Philadelphia believe) and srilled, by the
eminent builder, TO be managed in no case

endowments accompanying will revert to
the heirs of Girard, now land then) in
France. remember the priests, both
Catholic and Protestant at the time of his
death, sent him to rather warm berth,
but as Stephen has never been heard of
since, it is quite likely the prayers of the
orphans have counterbalanced the curses
oEthe clergy, and that this singular old
man has made as good port as will those
who condemned him. Of this we can
charitably hope.
The Wigwam was reached by street cars
and private carriages each of the first two
days at IL NJ; the last day the meeting
was at 10 and completed it's work ct 2,
thus giving the Washington Committee and
homeward bound delegates opportunity to
leave on that night. Board at SIS per day,

feet on pocket-books, and most members
were impatient to 90 home. The sessions
were short and to the point. Having writ
ten often while here and supplied you with
full reports through the city dailies, shall
attempt no description of that large body
Of eminent men. As a rule the grey-beards
predominated. There was cordially
among the members probably never before
