The Democracy have sci up howl against
the judges of the election IN Des Moinas
township. These shriekers claim that negroes
we're permitted to vote. They are mad about
it. There are agreat many people that will
think that even If negroes had voted there,
these chaps that complain about it are none
too good to have to vote ut the same polls.
They will do ityet, or quit voting altogether.
But the statement is MT true. The facts are
that there was one man, who had served
faithfully his country during the war, who had
lost leg in that service. He has tinge Of
Indian blood in his veins, discoverable in his
complexion; but he is quite as white as many
Democrats We know. He has mt q drop of
negro blood in him. The judges Of the elec~
ton thought that man who was fair enough
and good enough to serve in our army as q
white man, was fair enough and good enough
to vote, and they let him do so. And they
we're no doubt right about it. We hav MT any
doubt that, as between Gen. Grant and jeff.
Davis for President, that one legged soldier
would vote for Grant and these other chaps
for JEFF. Davis and "that' what's the mat,

some two years ago by Messrs. Billings l.

KAMMERs Music SroRE.-At Hammers
will be found large assortment Of musical
instruments. But we especially desire to
call attention to his stock of Chickering
pianos These are undoubtedly the best
pianos manufactured. At the Paris Exposi~
ton Chickering received the award Of gold
medal. He, also, alone Of all exhibitors OF
pianos, received from the Emperor Napoleon
the Cross Of the Legion Of Honor. This is
the most distinguished honor and distinction
that France can confer. 1t was only con
ferred after the pianos on exhibition from the
manufactures Of Europe and America had
been thoroughly examined and tested by q
competent committee, and the award given
to Mr.. Chickering. This, then, is the YER
dict Of the critical musical world that
Chickering's are the best instruments now
in use
1t isn't necessary for US to recapitulate the
various advantages that these pianos com.
bine. They are involved in the award made
BY the committee at the Worlds Fair. The
beauty and completeness of mechanical axe
cutlon. the variety, compass, sweetness, the
different elements Of tone, etc., that are the
qualities of the good piano the Chickering
has, or that award would never have been
made.
These pianos can be had at Hammers
Mr.. K. is an adept in his business, and
chooses his stock with great care. His pa.
irons can rely upon his judgment, certain Of
getting good instruments.
