dented degree, and in the year following the
close Of that great war paid off one tSnth Of
the National debt. Because while thus sup
pressing rebellion, and preventing Demo
cratic treason from taking the life Of the
Government, the Republican party has not
neglected the material development of the
country, and without burdening the people,
has carried forward to now rapidly approach

Of the State been marvelously promoted.
And such is the States credit financially
that the few Iowa bonds held by Eastern
men these will not surrender upon offers of
payment--they prefer Iowa bonds to money.
Because in State and Nation, the Republican
party is pledged to Progress. Because un
der Republican administration the Southern
States will be 80 reconstructed as to de-

the ascendancy of the rebel slave Regime,
and make in the future the South voluntary
willing member of an enduring free Demo>

Because of all this, and much more which
the highest interests Of this country demand,
and which Patriotism will approve, you
should vote the Republican ticket to>day.
