The Pass OF Iowa AND WOMAN SvF>
rEAGE.-Within short time, a number of
the leading Republican papers of Iowa have
declared themselves in favor Of equal rights
to all citizens. regardless of sex. Other pa
pers are simply biding their time and will
announce themselves squarely ia favor of
the great principle as soon as the present
political campaign is ended. OF the nun.
Der who have already boldly declared or
plainly intimated their position We may mem
ton the Burlington Harkeye, Davenport
Gazette, Clernont Leader. Mt Pleasant Free
iress, Rlairstown Gazette Musca,ine Jour
nal, Marshall Times, DEBORAH Republican
and two or three others which we do not at
this moment recall. As the question be.
comes more and more q matter of poll, ca
discussion, the enemies OF woman suffrage
will be astonisheJ at the unanimity with
which twill be sustained by the press. The
fact IS, the only logical result OF leading Re-
publican principles is suffrage to all adult
citizens, irrespective of race, color or sex,
and the two or three Republican papers
which have declared themselves in opposi
ton 10 it will sooner or later discover tina,
they occupy the anomalous and unenviable
position Of advocating general principles
whose logical sequences they have not the
moral courage 10 avox and defend.

MEssRs. EDlroRs.-In looking over the
appropriations made by the Board of Super
visors, was surprised to find large sum
set apart to pay J. NJ. Westfall for collecting
delinquent taxes last winter. Now there is
something at variance with Justice and right
eous legislation in this matter, that cannot
forebear asking the people of this county to
take it into consideration, and if tina, way of
doing business suits them, re>elect these same
men, but as for me, i" can't see it, In the
first place, there is o way made and provided
for the collection Of taxes, and penalty for
the neglect or disobedence of officers to do
their duty. Had the officers done their duty
there would have been no delinquent tax
that was available. Now why was not the
the law enforced and negligent officers made
to feel the weight of it as we'll rs careless
taxpayers. Ii the next place, was it Just
or right to make tn, Sc who paid their taxes
promptly, help to pay for collecting the taxes
of those who by their carelessness, or the
neglect Of the officers, put the county to the
trouble of collecting them? 1t is foul injustice,
and hoPe for the honor of the Board that
1t was passed without due consideration, and
will be promptly rescinded at their next
session. They have certainly exceeded their
powers in this matter, BY ALLOWING claim
against the county otherwise provided for BY
law In the last place, j. NJ. Westfall ad.
ded five per cent to the amount of tax and
interest for collecting, as any who paid de.
linqaent taxes can see by examining their
receipt. Now if he was allowed Q certain
percentage, land that is the only lawful
manner in which to pay for the collection Of
taxesl why ask the county to pay for the
same thing after it had been legally settled ?
And then why allow anything so manifestly
unfair, SO unjust to honest laboring men Of
the county, Can it be that our county off,
GERS are so dishonest as to do business in
such a manner, and does the Board of Su.
peryisors connive with them? Il 10 to be
hoped thai the people will look at this thing,
and nc. this one only, but that they will in.
struct the Board Of Supervisors to do their
duty thoroughly and honestly, and also see
to it that men are elected to the Offices to be
filed this fall who are above reproach. In
hope that something will be done to put .
stop to such iniqaitous proceedings among
our county officers, aud that the people may
be caused to see to it in season.

Henry Clay Dean wanted to introduce
other resolutions, but meeting with opposi>
ton, lengthy debate arose, during which
Dean made himself particularly ridiculous.
The first, second and third resolutions were
adopted without debate. The fourth reso.
luton created debate during which Claggit,
denounced the idea as equivalent to repudi.
alton, but the Convention adopted it never
thelcss. When the fifth resolution was lead.
Judge McHenry arose amid perfect din TO
object to this liquor resolution. He declar>
cd tina, its adoption would disgrace the party,
and that the party could make nothing BY
thus declaring for free whisky. There was
no whisky issue, and they would need the
help of those who would spurn any ALLEGATION
with the defenders Of free whisky" He
would no; take the stump with any such
plank in the platform. Mr.. Cole offered the
following resolution as substitute for the
liquor resolution:

should be SO amended that lager beer manu-.

This was voted down in hurricane Of
"noes." The original license resolution was
then adopted by 264 yeas to 81 nays.
Henry Clay Dean opposed the sixth reso.
luton, but it was adopted.
The seventh resolution was adopted unan-
imously.
The eight was adopted as supplement.
;ary resolution.
The Convention thus proceeded to make
nominations as follows:
For Governor-Chas. Mason, of Des
