DEMOCRATIC CLUB.-The Cambrian Hall
has been rented by the Democrats for the
canvass season one evening each week.
On Monday next the ball will be open.
All are invited to attend and participate
with us in the certain redemption of our
country, from the political tyranny and
i%nsolence which has SO long enthralled it.
The Grant and Colfax Club have not met
regularly of late. Their room is Clarke's
Hall; Thursday, we believe, is their reg
ular evening. D. d. Fraser, Pres, Doc.

Resolution.

WHEREAS, We have been informed repeatedly, by
newspaper articles and otherwise, that the people of
McGregor have heretofore been opposed to building
n Railroad on what is known as the Postville and
West Union route, and desiring to set our people
right and put a stop to these 3roundles6 misrepre-
sensations forever, therefore, be it
ResOtred, BY the City Council of McGregor, that
we and the people of our city have never been OPP
posed to said route, but, ON the contrary, have al
ways urged the claims of said route, and hoped that
ultimately that route would be adopted but while
this is and always has been our position. we have
not been in favor of jcpardizing the building of u
road west by combining the road to this route alone.

The above mean, scurrilous attack up
on ne in the Ne,rs, is by one Goodrich,
charging me with representing myself as
his agent l take this opportunity of vim
d~icating myself. In the first place, being
much better known in Clayton county.
than this man Goodrich, it is absurd to
suppose that l could make anything by
any such representation. This charge is
totally and entirely false; it is a lie, and
defy Goodrich to prove it otherwise. Sec
ondly, he calls my machine ''bogus'' and
claims his own to be the genuine Buckeye.
This is as false as the previous charge,
and he knows it. Every Machine man
knows that the Buckeye is manufactur-
ed at six places, five of these pay a royal
ty to the original Buckeye Manufacturers
at Canton, Ohio, for the privilege of
making their machines. Goodrich's Akron
Buckeye is one of these. So much for his
"Genuine Buckeye 1t is very plain,
however, to see what is the cause of all
this misrepresentation and falsehood. This
Goodrich says that have "made numer-
Gus sales to good, substantial men = this
is where it rubs. Yes, Ihace made "num-
erous ~sales,' too numerous it seems, to
please Mr.. Goodrich my customers know

representation of the just.

CLERMoNT, Iowa, June so. 1868.
Eds News.-I wish through your col
umns to warn the farmers Of Clayton coun-
ty, against some parties who represent
themselves to be agents for me in the sale
of the Buckeye Rcapers and Mowers,
while they are not only selling bogus
machines to you as Buckeyes, but arc not
in my employ. You will see at once that
these representations are made TO give
their machinery character, and thus ena-
bic them to make sales. Good response
bic men have reported to me that one
Roberts, of Clayton county, has repeated
ly made these representations, and by that
means has made numerous sales to good,
substantial men, who supposed they were
buying the genuine Buckeye. If | were
the parties thus imposed upon, l would
bring the transgressor to account, and at
least, | would consider all contracts made
under such circumstances to be void, and
of no effect.
If any party pretends to be my agent
for the sale ofthe Akron Buckeye. ask him
to let you sec his papers ask him if his
machine is made at Akron, Ohio; if it has
a front cat, iron frame, gearing on the
main shaft betuecn the drire wheel and
Steel Gutter Bar-these are some of the
ear-marks of the genuine Akron Buckeye,
as sure to give satisfaction, as a good wa
gon. Truly yours,

Through the kindness of our young
friends, Gregor and Gardner McGregor,
Mr.. w. r. Kinniard and the writer, were ia
vored, on the 4th, with seats in an easy
carriage behind the finest driving pair of
Browns known hercabouts. At A. NJ.
early for us-we were on the way. At
Harding's Bulls Head House, a breakfast
of broiled spring chickens with the ETC.,
in company with the members of the Cor
net Band, made US think the 4th was a
good day, and, while the cool morning
breezes were still playing over the broad
rich fields, loaded with that which promi-
SEES to be, in every sense, an immense gol-
den harvest, we made the remainder Of
the way to the capital Of the county, and
put ourselves in charge of Gen. Bigelow,
Of tho Boardman House, for the day.
At 9 the people from every part of
Clayton and many from adjoining coun-
ties began to fill the streets, groves, hotels,
stores and other trading houses and at 10
o'clock the population of Elkader, for the
day, was enough to carry an election
against any and all other points within the
district where the county seat question
might come up. The procession formed
under the direction of Chief Marshal
Davis, and Asst. Marshal Daugherty,
and marched to the grounds prepared in
the beautiful oak grove ON the east side of
the river, when the President f the day,
Hon. Geo. L. Bass, of this city, conducted
the exercises in the order in which they
occurred. Prayer by the Rev. P. II
Hathaway, Of Elkader music by the Nc
Gregor Cornet Band the Declaration of
Independence read by j. "A. Cramer, Of
Elkader, and the president announced the
orator of the day, the Hon. Z. E. Cooley,
of DEBORAH. Mr.. c. is an easy speaker
and We happen to know his address was
well received, giving the highest s~atisfac-
on to all. At two o'clock the Masonic
Fraternity marched in procession to the
Elkader School grounds, on Front Street.
when the corner stone of the new ten
thousand dollar school house was laid with
the usual ceremonies belonging to that or
der. G. S. Rollins, deputy Grand Master
guess that is the title-of DEBORAH,
made the speech and deposited within the
cavity Of the stone a tin box containing

paniments desired for the celebration of a
4th Of July, with the mercury playing
about the hundreds. Tables filed with
the best and greatest variety were set in
the grove, hotels and Stone Hall, and we
believe oil there enjoyed the kind attention
OF the managers of. the Elkader celebra.

an improvised hall made in the Freeman
Grove, to the best music Of Prof. Jim

Sherman on Greenbacks.


Late New York papers publish the fol-
lowing from Senator Sherman Of Ohio, to
his friend AbJah Mann of Brooklyn.
This is a brief letter, but it has a crushing
weight on the hopes of gold hunters in
the Grant and Colfax ~''diSgings." The
reaction is such even since the Chicago
Convention that an ''imprudent' member
of Congress only a day or two ago begged
leave to introduce a bill looking to the
redemption of bonds in ~grecnbacks! The
coster nation OF the wise ones who bad so
carefully fixed up the Chicago platform
may be imagined. Every fair minded
man must see that Sherman is right. All
we converse with do see it, and we have
seldom heard of a mar WHO had the
nerve to uphold the ~bond-holder's policy
in a street or Office conversation. The
Law is different from Jay Cookies misrep-
resentation.

DEAR SIR:-I was pleased to receive
your letter. My personal interests are
the same as yours, but, like you, | do not
intend to be influenced by them, My con-
struction of the law is the result of care
full examination, and | feel quite sure an
impartial court would confirm it if the
case could be tried before Il court. | scad
you my views as fully stated in n speech.
Your idea is that We propose to repudiate
or violate IA promise when VIC offer to re-
deem the principal in legal tenders.
| think the bondholder violates his
promise when he refuses to take the same
kind of money he paid for the bond. If
the ease is to be tested by the law, / am
right if it is to be tested by jay Cookies
advertisements, | am wrong. | hate repu-
diation or anything like it, but we ought
not to &c deferred from doing what is
right by fear or undeserved cpithets. IF.
under the law as it stands, the holders of
the five.twenties can only be paid in gold,
then we are repudiators if we propose to
pay otherwise. If, on the other hand, the
bondholder can demand only the kind Of
money he paid, then he is a repudiator
and an extortioner to demand money
more valuable than he gave.
Truly yours, JoHS SHERMAN.
