JESUP ITEMS.

Jesup is still alive, and its growth indi-
Gates that it is in healthy condition. The
improvements are Of such character, that
they are both substantial and lasting. The
town now boasts Of four Dry Goods stores,
three Grocery stores, one Drug store, one
Hard Ware store, Two Boot & Shoe stores,
two Harness shops, one Agricultural store,
two Hotels, and Wagon and Blacksmith
shops enough to supply the demand. These
improvements, with population of seven
hundred inhabitants surrounded by n thrif>
~ farming community, with the gradual inns
provement which is manifested, will build
up town, or even city, in the next few
years that will be an honor to any State or
county.
A meeting Of the citizens was held on
Wednesday evening to consider the idea Of
building bridge ecross the Wapsie on
Sec. 8, in Perry Township. Nearly $1,000
was raised in a few hours, and the prospects
are fair for having the bridge completed du>
ring the coming season. If so, it will open
to this place, large trade from the north
and west, and diminish greatly the trade in
Independence.
J. i. Hodges has just opened general
variety store, in Taylor's block, on the south
side Of Main street; he has No. | stock,
and may expect good share Of the trade.
The Masonic building is rog:essing rap.
idly, and will soon be completed, this will be
one OF our largest trading houses in town.
donation for the Rev. John Fulton, was
given at the National Hotel las, evening,
Feb. l4'h. One hundred dollars and a gen
eral good time was the Result. The Elder
has been holding series of meetings here
with very favorable results. Many acces.
sions to the church have been made through
the interchangeable energy and perseverance,
and the self sacrificing christian spirit Of
church during the coming summer is con.
templated.
When we consider that ten years ago,
from the place where this busy little village
now stands, could only be seen one small
house, and with this exception, nothing bu.
the broad rolling prairies in their rude I'M
cultivated state, extending in every direc,
ton far as the eye could reach, looking as
j. We're, in great vacuum of space--wc re-
alize that the age in which we live is one OF
progression, rapid Improvement, and produc-
tive Of wondrous results.

THE CITY CAMPAIGN.

We had hoped, when the movement for the
organization of the party in this city, was
inaugurated, that it would be effected and
the city campaign conducted in spirit Of
unity and good feeling. Without this, the
object of the campaign would remain unat.
tained but to secure it, it was necessary
that candidates be selected who would at.
tract the support Of the whole party. A
house divided against itself cannot stand.
To secure victory it was necessary to main.
tain harmony. To maintain harmony i, was
essential for all classes to unite upon can
didate who was the enemy of none.
This question was freely discussed before
the caucus among all classes Of Republicans
and there was no dissonance of opinion re.
lative to it. All agreed that candidate
who would combine the support Of all classes
Of Republicans ought to be nominated, in
which case party success would be insured !;
and 50 confident were Republicans generally
that this would be done that the
attendance at the caucus was comparatively
small. Side issues crept into the caucus
and the plan Of action, which had been as.
sented to by all, and which would have i'm.
PEELED the abandonment OF all candidates
against whom there was formidable opposi.
ton, was frustrated BY the nomination Of
Mr. Jones, BY a vote Of % out of IS. Now
is is by no means necessarily to the discredit
of Mr.. Jones that quite percentage of the
PARTY are hostile to h;m--that is a misfortune
which is suffered BY very many excellent
men whose business relations and habits
bring them in constant contact with others.
Whatever its cause, the fact existed, and
under the circumstances rendered the pros
poets Of success in the election problemasical.
Mr.. Jones was fairly nominated BY one mas
iority in the caucus as it stood, and
there was no disposition on the part Of the
Central Committee to bot the nomination,
Notwithstanding representations to the con-
trary still, it was thought BY many Repub-
lcans, the Central Committee and some Of
| Mr.. Jones' personal friends among the num-
Der, that should he resign his candidacy and
Q new and full caucus be called, whatever
might DO tho result Of that caucus,
it would have tendency to create greater
unity in the Republican ranks,-the result
above all others most to be desired. With
q view to convey to Mr.. Jones this senti-
ment. the following was drawn up and sign.
ed BY Fifty members Of the party in this city :
1--WE, the undersigned, Republicans Of
the city Of independence, believing that the
harmony Of the party would be SUBSCRIBED

ray" municipal election is capable Of
producing mere profound excitement than
Presidential Campaign. That has been
thoroughly demonstrated in our own midst
during the pas. few days. If we stop to
analyze this excitement however, we shall
discover il to he surface work, which does
no. reach down as far as the reason. The
passions and sympathies of men are easily
excited-as probably every individual knows
20 his sorrow-and il is no difficult matter
forany unprincipled intriguer tn create great
tempest through little ar,ful misrepresen-
tation. Cool reflection often and generally
causes men to draw very different conclusions
from those formed in the heat of passion.
1t was well, then, for US all to regard the
present 4" crisis with composure and decide
only On such action rs will inure TO the
advantage Of our party, whose principles
are of far more consequence than the selfish
ambition Of any individual.

r@- 1t is reported that Mr.. Jones gave
in his resignation upon the condition that
the caucus should be called this week. This is
entirely n mistake. No pledges were asked
none given. No promise, ola caucus was
given-none could be given without the &c.
ton Of the Central Committee. The IN
mittee decided to call the caucus at such a
date as would allow temper to cool and so.
Der, dispassionate view of the subject to be
taken. We need manly, deliberate action,
not farce.

1D- There never was a political wire
puller and trickster yet who did not accuse
those against whom he was figuring of be.
longing to clique or "junto."
There never was political intriguer who
did not boast himself to be the especia,
champion Of those whose votes he desired
to gain, and did not represent his opposers
as their especial enemies.
There never was political wire puller
who did not appeal to the sympa,hies, preju
dces and passions Of men, rather than &c
their sober judgments.

The call for Republican caucus, to be
held at the Cour, House Thursday evening,
Feb 2sth, will be found in another place
In considering this matter il b-hooves all
Republicans, rs wise men, 10 cas-. aside per.
sonal consideration for the time being, and
simply inquire, what course is for the best
interests Of our party and our city. Indi-
siduals are nothing when compared with
political principles. II Is for the perpetuity
Of certain great principles that our party
has an existence. Ia all contests, then, We
must aim for victory as the means whereby
our principles are to be promoted Ii is
true, in its immediate effect, upon our city
government, party triumph might not
necessarily be Of any material advantage to
u.s. but above this land that which il 81
serious import to US as party,) 10 the effect
OF victory or defeat upon the growth and
influence Of our party. There was but little
object in waging party contest, other than
to secure the moral effect Of party victory.
II elements Of discord are to deprive US Of
victory, then the whole movement had better
been left unmade. Let every Republican
ask himself the question, and then decide as
sensible man, whether it were better to
put in nomination candidate who will
combine the party vote and insure full
party majority, or one agaius. whom, whe-
Their justly or unjustly, there is strong feeling
on the part Of many individuals in the party.
Osr sympathies may incline US to regard
the interests OF individuals; our reason
should impel Us to look first to the welfare of
our party, and through it the principles
Whlcu our party represents.
Let 70 one decide in haste upon course
Of action which is TO influence the standing
of our party greatly for good or evil. The
great difficulty with local elections is the
liability Of division Of the party into
classes, one working against the other on
personal grounds-one perhaps by little
superiority Of numbers putting in nomina-
ton men whom both will not support. Is it
wise TO do this? Is it not far more sensible
for all classes to drop partizan candidates
and unite upon those who are particularly
offensive 70 none? 1t is simple question
Of common sense, and no personal con.
siderations should be permitted to influence
its answer.

EO- 1t will be seen by the financial
report Of Hook & Ladder Co. No. !, that Of
their total expenditures thus far, only a
small fraction has been provided by
the citizens Of Independence. 1t will also
be noticed that only few OF the members
own real estate. By noble impulse they
have banded together and maintained an
organization at great trouble and expense
to themselves, for the protection of the
property of others. Upon every occasion
where their services have been needed they
have been found at their post, and most ef.
ficient in the performance of their duty.
Indeed, . better appointed and more eiic.
lent Hook & Ladder Company, does not ex-
ist in the State.
This company, then, is a great public ben
eft. 1t has been maintained at great trouble
and expense By class Of men who have the
least personal interest in the matter. They
now think it no more than justice that the
city should keep their truck in good repair
and pay the necessary expenses Of the Com
pany. These minute men for the safety OF
our city ask no pay, but simply that their
expenses lie borne, that they may not be gu,
Of time and pocket at the same time. A
more just request never was made, and we
sincerely hope it may be be granted.
