Addressed ,h. Wrong Man.


The Republican State Central Committee
of Iowa have begun to assess the officehold-
ers. But last week one of these letters was
addressed to the wrong individual, as the
following response will show:
MARION, LINN COUNTY, IowAl
4-GMHH June 25, 1868. -g
p. Melendy, Esq. Chairman Republican State
Central Committee: }'
DEAR SIR-Your letter above, assessing
me twenty five dollars for assisting in the
election OF the Republican candidates, is re-
ceived and duly considered. The following
among other considerations, induce me re-
specttully to decline paying the amount as
sessed to me. First: My treasury depart
ment is not just now sufficiently plethoric
to admit of such depletion as you prescribe.
Second-I am about starting to discharge
the functions of delegate to the Demo-
cratic Convention at New York, and shall
probably require what small change have
at command to defray expenses. Third-I
ses for the celebration of funeral obsequies,
and think it quite as well to let the party
you represent go down to its final rest quiz
city. Fourth don't think the investment
will pay, your old hulk is too rotten for re-
pairs, and my advice is that you let her go
to the bottom, and that you save the treas
ure for some more laudable enterprise. 1t
occurs to me that inasmuch as the Repub-
lican party is in the interest of the bond
holders of the country, and opposed to
equal taxation, that the money necessary
to run your party the coming campaign
should be raised from them instead of call
ing on the friends of Pendleton and equal
taxation. Very respectfully,
g. T. S. BARDWELL.

Speech of John HI. Thomas, Esq.
This gentleman, the Democratic nominee
in this (the 7th) District for Congress, is
not in the popular sense an orator, but the
speech he delivered, on accepting the nom-
ination, written though it was, shows that
he has clear, well-defined and Intelligent
understanding of the situation of public af-
fairs, and of the proper remedies to be ap-
piled for their correction. He is a worker
engaged in the manufacture of agricul-
tural implements, and in that business en-
ploys great many hands. He is brought
daily in contact with business men, farm
ers and laborers, and he well understands
their necessities. On the matter of Bond
Taxation and the currency question, he is
in accord with the working millions.
The Bonds must be taxed
The $50 Bonds must be paid in Legal
Tender, as contracted to be paid, and not
in coin !; is part and parcel of his creed as
| it is part and parcel of the creed of the
great army of laborers. S--,-.-.,-
Touching every other question in issue
his position is equally intelligent and
sound 11f u 1850
He is emphatically the peoples candidate
How unlike Judge WINANs, his compet-
itor.T When he accepted the Republican
nomination, he confessed to the humiliation
| that he was not informed on the issues OF
the day, and that they would have to ex-
cuse him from making speech until he
should read up. While he supported the
Pam hl;oop N no rfv ha uoo NOT prano rod to
give reason ,ohy he did so. He was not
prepared to say whether the legislation OF
his party in Congress was wise and salu-
tary he did not know whether the coun-
try was prosperous or not; he did not know
whether business was brisk or dull he
had no opinion to give whether the Bonds
should be taxed; he had nothing to say
whether the $50 Bonds should be paid in
the .slawful money of the United States"
or in Gold.
He was not postejI This sslearned Judge"
who with surprising readiness pronounced
in effect, that the Constitution of the State
of Ohio, in restricting voting to "White
citizens of the United States" only should
vote in Ohio meant the inconceivable alb
surdity that all men who were not over
half black should vote. He seemed to think
that he was read up on that question; but
he is not ready to give an answer whether
the people should be relieved from
taxation as much as possible, by the taxa
ton of the Bonds; by the payment of the
5-2Os in Greenbacks; by the doing away
with the Freedmen's Bureau; by the
withdrawal of the Army from the South,
and remitting that country to Civil Gov
ernment, established by the consent OF its
people and not forced upon them by
usurpation to promote party ends.
He has to read up. What for? To see
whether he can gather material with which
to build up pretended justification to
swindle the people. On these matters the
people are pretty well read up, even if this
learned Judge, who has his habitation at
Xenia, is not.

The First Seymour Pole i'm the
State.

From the Zanesuille Signal of Monday we
copy the following:
The pole raising in South GAINESVILLE or
Saturday evening reminded one of the good
old days of yore, when Democratic rule
made all happy and prosperous. Although
the ropes and rigging did not work as well
as they might have done, the pole was rails
ed amid the greatest enthusiasm, hundreds
being present. 1t stands to-day over one
hundred feet high, as straight as line and
as graceful as beautiful woman. After
the pole was up, speeches were made, and
songs were sung, and good time general
ly was had. This, we believe, is the first
Seymour pole of the campaign In the State
which fact argues well for the Democracy
of Springfield township.
