Col. Barnes. of the Dubuque Times, is
troubled over the Allison fraud exposures.
He thinks, as some others do, that the
acts of Allison ought not to be set up
before the people now, that he is up for
Congress. No. the dear people ought not
to know how it is that he increased his
wealth fraudlently, from the value of a
simple law library to S5OO,O00. Railroad,
Ship Canal, and whisky ring rascality
should not be brought out NOV, even if
the exposure is made By members Of his
own party. 1t might injure his prospects
of election. How was it with the Times
when the nomination was pending? How
would it be with these radical editors if
their dear Mr.. Allison was Of some other
political faith? Whose OK would be gored
then?

REP. Co. CoNvENTIoN.-On Saturday
last, II. S. Granger and VIM. d. Crooke
were re- nominated for the respective Off
ces of Clerk of the court and County Re-
corder. Larrabee of Clayton City was
President, and Eibeck of the Journal
Secretary. No resolutions-no speeches.
Woodward proposed Granger; Schroeder
proposed Crooke. Acclamation put them
in nomination.
Both the nominees are competent Off
GERS. We hope they will be beaten, be-
cause they do not think politically US we
do. As they do not like our politics any
better than we do theirs, it is probable
that they won't vote for our candidates
We never condemn opponents who are
honorable in conduct. Success at the sac
rifce Of gcntlemanly discussion is not a
desirable "thinl to have in the house,

We are in receipt Of the following note
with request for its publication. Our
"clip'' Of July ODD, from the correspond
env column of the Oshkosh City Times
was made for its historical nature and not
to give currency to personal il-will. We
were unaware of any personal point in
the reference to the late Mr.. Rolette. In
justice to Mrs. Iooe we publish her letter.
The Oshkosh City Times is requested by
Mrs. Hooe to copy it. We give due notice
that our columns cannot be occupied by
discussion OF old or new personal difficult
ties. We will set History right when
furnished with the material from response
bl. parties. Nothing more.
WASHINGTON, Sept. %, 1868.
Coz. A. p. RICHARDSON, McGrcgor.
SIR = The July ODD number of the
North Iowa Times, has just come to my
notice and though averse to appearing be-
fore the pubic, as a contributor, feel it
to be duty, in this one instance, and /
know that yourself, as we'll as all others,
who have regard, for the secredness of
the tomb will willingly respond to the
sentiment which now actuates me.
l will then refer you to the paragraph
headed Fort Crawford" and will only
remark that the future Historian of p. d.
G. may be well forgiven for his want of
memory and voracity in regard to Gen.
Taylor's family affairs, as the difference Of
position and education, did not give him,
the'opportunity of being well versed on a
subject, which bye the bye has become a
favorite theme with him. For the benefit
of the travelling community, and for those
seeking items, will say, that Mr.. Davis
had resigned his commission in the army,
before he married Gen. Taylor's daughter.
And at that time the youngest daughter
was quite child and only became Mrs.
3. just previous, or Immediately after the
close of the Mexican war. In the same
paragraph this historian goes on to say,
! THAT my late Gather, Mr.. Rolette was the
principal trader, very hostile to the whites,
and melting the Indians against them, so
much ESQ, that his life was in danger, and
he had for months, to secrcte himself, from
motives of personal safety. AS far back
as 1929. This being the year of my re-
turn from school, to p. d. c., remain a
living witness against him. Such fabrica-
tons of cowardly mind, might be con-
sidered beneath my notice, but for the
reason, that it is the third time, he has
dared to SANDER the dead; one to whom,
during life he was subseryicnt, for favors
received at his hand, but suppose he
thought that rs time so often obliterates the
truth, falsehood would more readily spread
The revenge is aimed at myself, for .s .ha
reasons, that for my own convenience and
that of the peoples; | relieved this His
torian of the duty of p. NJ. years ago,
somewhat of modification ut the time.
Then l arould defend Fort Crawford
against illegal invasion ana succeeded in
getting decree for the U. S., thinking il
was my duty. But the spirit which
prompts such baseness is in keeping with
one who could deprive the soldiers grave
Of its only defence from intrusion.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Maj, A. S. HooE.

see how busy the clerks are packing up
boxes for all parts Of North Iowa and

will see this wholesale trade more plainly.

CALLs.-Wc have had many calls from
Democrats out west the past week, and
they all speak most cheeringly of our
prospects, changes of substantial thinking
men are frequent from the Republican
to the Democratic side. Why will reflect
ing men all go on the side of fairness and
equality of assessed burthens rather than
to support those who act and talk as il
they held ownership in the white blood
and bones Of the North.

A lady, surrounded by her children, re-
Gently arose at q ondon theatre, in a con-
spicuous box, and, pointing her finger ut
the actor and actress then on the stage,
exclaimed: Gentlemen, that actor is my
husband; for the last three years he has
been living with that actress; these are his
children. | ask you if such scamp is
worthy of your applause" How will this
apply to some radical Office beggars?

SPEEcuEs.-Major O'Conner and John
A. kaSson were announced to speak here
on Monday evening. Mr.. X. did not
come. The Major put in an appearance
at the TINES Office, accompanied by John
S. Runnels Gov. M.rrilrs Private Sec
rotary. We had pleasant chat Of an
hour with both tbs gentlemen. O'Conner
spoke at the Cambrian in the evening to
a fair audience, gave the democrats all the
stale opproJia he could think of-such as
'eopperheads, y TRAITORS "rebel-heartcd"
and the like, pleased the funny portion of
his audience with a few anecdotes, DISCUS
ted many of the reflective of both parties
by his bitterness Of style, retired in in good
order amid vociferous applause and the
meeting closed.
His arguments were assertions, his facts
fallacies, but as "thc eloquent Irishman"
had nothing else to use>he is not to blame
for exhibiting more wind than solidity.
The Chicago Post says the "Irish have
hair on their teeth. Being no dentist we
didn't examine the Majors mouth.

Gen. Vandeyer in his letters said of
Allison: II hops we the republicans
NAV vindicate ourselves from even the sus-
picion of countenancing oDcial delinquency
and co,ruption.' Again the General
wrote: .IIow strong must be the preju-
dice and partialities of successful politi-
tician, when they will attempt to palliate
or excuse such wanton sacrifice of the in
tercsts committed to his hands p The
same pen, also wrote: "Mr. Allison has
the talismanic touch that converts to gold,
in bis own pocket, whatever he is connect
ed with as public man The history OF
his official life shows, that though he has
prospered pecuniarily himself, his consti-
tuents are none tho better off for his con-
nection with public affairs, and their inter
ests would be much safer and better cared
for IN other hands" Yes, vote for Allison.
1t has been proven that lie sold out North
ern Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, sand
it may be he will find other thirty pieces Of
silver before another congressional contest,
if elected this time, with which to to buy
the sotes of those he would rob.

Our radical friends hcreabouts don't
hear from the Maine election so much as
they did before the result was known.
When the wires reported from $4,000 to
10000 republican majority their exulta-
tons were loud and long. 1t now turns
out that the republican majority is only
$4,000 and they cant get any reports from
their only hope. The returns, as given in
the New York Tribune, show an increase
of over 10000 in the total vote and an
increase in the republican vote Of only
1000. This is rather a bad ratio for the
radicals. Has any one heard from Maine?

PRAcrlcAL.-If Mr.. Attorney General
"Harry'' O'Conner had informed his
Cambrian Hall audience of Monday
night last, how it occurred that the two
last Legislative Assemblies of Iowa, have
failed to pass raid law for the taxation
OF the shares of National Banks, whereby
the State is losing One Hundred and
Tweaty Sir Thousand Dollars ANNUALLY,
he would have interested the thinking part
uf his hearers much more than he did by
his howl over issues so dead as to be be-
yond resurrection.
The two houses of the Iowa Legislature
applied to Mr.. O'Conner, as Atty Gener-
eral, for plan of taxation. The product
J of the learning of this distinguished ora
tor and friend of Iowa taxpayers was a
Law witlout VALIDITY! This question
interests us no,r Was the Atty Gen.
unable to shape valid law, or was he I'M
willing to see wealth bear its.portion Of
public expense? In other words was he
ignorant, or was he knavish? Gov. Mer-
rill, TO whom Mr.. O'Conner so feelingly
and fatteringly referred in his speech,
has made no mention of this subject in
any of his Messages! Why is it impor-
tant to remember the nursery tales Of pol
itics and to forget the practicalities which
Immediately interest US. This City Of
McGregor, to-day would be from 4 to 5
thousand dollars easier in annual taxes,
had O'Conner been able and willing to give
the Legislature an operative instead Of an
inralid bill, authorizing the assessment Of
bank shares.
Who will vote for such an Attorney OF
with party that supports such bold fa'
voritism to Capital? Men who want mas
tiers may do SO, but none Of such stuff in
ours.
