Maj. DRUMxoND, of the Ne,rs, hands us
an advance slip containing report Of the
proceedings of the recent Elkader Rep.
Convention. 1t will be seen that Col.
MERRILL was most fatteringly Endorsed.
The Merrill resolution was the only one
passed other exciting questions were left
to general inference this course was both
liberal toward each other and polite at
this hour of "the nations peril! I" We
accord them excellent sense in leaving
untouched those ballot-box curiosities and
intricacies which are involved in the re-
cent developments of public opinion
throughout the State.
The agitation of L. D. INGERsoLr.'s name
for Lieutenant Governor is, of course, a
Merrill card. Mr.. Ingersoll is the able
editor of the Muscatine Daily Journal,
and that paper supports Merrill. We last
week referred to 0. McCRANEY, ESQ, Of
this city, rs having been named to bar or
to confuse the chances Of Merrills nomi-
nation: the naming of Ingersoll is a
counter movement. To us Link" is
Questionable on three very decided points.
First, his politics don't suit US. 4. Second,
his hearing is too imperfect for presiding
officer, these t,co are serious) and thirdly,
he lives too far from McGnEcoR! Let all
the candidates be selected from this ambi-
tious city, and then the country is
safe. Don't you think so, reader? Like
the Hon. H. Clay Dean, who recently
wrote letter declining to be the Demo
cratic candidate, we also most respectfully
object to take the position, and we suppose
our chances were fully equal to his before
these graceful rctiracies of his and ours
from the field of aspiration! ,s...gu
The question of License or the present
liquor law will probably play an impor-
tant part in the canvass, and just about
this section it is already revolutionizing
the "radical" element. Leaders of their
party have gone quite too far for their late
modified masses. 1t is said our personal
friend the Col. is not an ardent admirer of
the present law, but we do not speak by
the card: our political relations with him
are such as to prevent inquiries, though he
will doubtless define his position prior to
The State Convention of, June 10TH. A
few days will tell who is the lucky man !;
in the moan time let us possess our souls
in patience.
Col. Merrill really seems to have some
show for the nomination, but he has fear
full odds against him. With Manhood
Suffrage" Prohibition, Bond Taxing,
Woman's Rights, Horace Greeley's antics,
the strength of the Southern Portion Of
The State in population, the prospect looks
70 US as exceedingly mixed. That is to
say, if Republican Governor is to be
again inflicted upon the State of Iowa by
tho 1nscrutable, for our sins, we prefer Col.
San. MERRILL, the social gentleman Of
McGregor; though as aforesaid, on fire.

politically and personally honorable to de-
feat him or cor any other man" of the
party to which he belongs. 5ol

MARX Twain, California comic wri-

prospect of an increase of women's rights;

And the servant shall reply, sit has been

And women can talk politics instead of
discussing the fashions; and they shall ne

shall nurse the baby while their wives go
to the polls to vote. And in that day the
man who hath beautiful whiskers shall
beat the homely man of wisdom for gov
ernor; and the youth who waltzes with ex-
qnisite grace shall be chief of police, in
preference to the man of practised sagaci-
ty and determined energy.

have to do all her clerking. If you give
the women full sweep with men in politi-
cal affairs, she will proceed to run for every
Office under the new dispensation. That
will finish me. She would not have time
to do anything at all then, and one solitary

The new Ferry-boat City Of Nc Gregor,
Capt. BIsBEE commanding, reached here
on Monday about 2 P. M. The citizens
were advised by telegraph, and large
number turned out to welcome it. Geo. l..
Bass acted as generalissimo; the McGreg-
or Band went on board and played a well
coming tune or two; Mayor Hammer be-
ing absent, John T. Stoncman presented a
very handsome banner "a feet long, in be-
half of our citizens, and made good

It would be false to say that the people
of this place are satisfied with their river
namesake. Some criticism is made as to
her size and appearance, but she is not
well tested yet. and judgment as to her ca.
pacity should be suspended for a time. The
Alamakee, to which we are accustomed,
has scarcely an equal on the western fer.
ry-boat lines, and our folks expected some
thing slightly comparable with her. The
City" is ITO feet long, two-decker
only; wheel in the center, no cabin yet,
and in all respects looks like very plain
affair, though her cost was $4,000. She
was built for emigration and freight pur-
poses alone-the space around the engine
room and wheel being 10 feet, thus ena-
bling teams to enter on the bow or stern
and drive entirely around her. Her ca
pacity is about Is tons. In few days
she will have cabin for the accommoda-
ton Of passengers, and then her appear
ance will be much improved. Her heavy
load of freight from Pittsburgh sunk her
nearly out of sight, but when she is light
ened, cabined and trimmed up the public
will be better pleased with her. ,a
Her cargo consisted of 400 packages Of
glass for Newell & Co., several tons Of
Iron for G. G. Cone, and nearly all the
machinery for the construction of Captain
and Jack Flemings Saw mill at North
McGregor. She made the 1900 mile trip
in less than three weeks. Let us be kind
to our namesake, and await the develop
ment of her usefulness. Captain Fitzger-
aid will have her ready for business in a
week, and then we will again refer to her.

We have on several occasions pointed
out the extravagant and extortionate
prices charged in Wheeling for nearly
every article of family marketing.
There is scarcely II large city in the
Union where prices are not on an aver
age much lower than here. The Gin
cinnati Gazette publishes a table of the
retail prices current for farGily market
ing in that city, and we notice that in
nearly every item the quotations are
decidedly below our own. For instance
the range for beef is from I2Is to Is cts,
while here it is from 10 to %. The range
for mutton is from to 1871, here IL to
Is. Poultry sells for about the same
AS in our market, while onions, tur
nips and vegetables generally, are ma
terially lower. Ofcourse the difference
in prices ought to be in favor of Wheel
ing rs compared with n city like Gin
cinuati, where every expense on the
part OF those who serve the public in
the markets is naturally higher. But
strange to say, the difference is not in
our favor, but against us, and it really
seems as if there was no help for the
complaints that are heard on every
hand. As long as the people will sufIer
themselves to be plucked and tleeced
ns they do now, 80 long will our mar
kst veuders continue the profitable
game.

SCHENCK,s sEAwEED TONIC.

This medicine, invented by DIR. ], 81.
Schenck, of Philadelphia, Is Intended to dis
solve the food and make 1T into chyme, the
first process of digestion. By cleansing the
stomach with schenclS'S Mandrake Pills. the
Tonic soon restores the appetite. and food
that could not be eaten before using it will be
easily digeSted.
Consumption cannot be cured by Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup unless the stomach and
liver Is made healthy and the appetite restor-
ed, hence the Tonic and Pills are required in
nearly every case of consumption half
dozen bottles OF the SEAW Fed TONIC and
three or four boxes of the MANDRAKE
pepsia.

New York, Boston, and at his principal office
IN Philadelphia every week. See daily pa
