Dear Friend Tompkins- Editor Of Nc
Greger Ners 81 am a candidate Cor Cor
oner. Was nominated by the Republican
Convention, at Elkader, on the 10th inst.
l heartily approved, at the time, Of the
Resolutions there adopted, as they were
passed before any Of us received our nom
nations; and not having time to consult
you, l had to adopt them. Resolution No.
TOO condemns the practice of substituting
and corrupting the Press with public pat
ronage for personal advancement. This
Resolution at the timc-I admit
thought to be especially right, but did
not know that it, in the least, hit you; and
that villanous DOUGLASS who offered il
never informed us of the fact, and as MIR

our action would have been entirely differ
ent had you only been here. However
your leader, of the 18th, has set me right
cannot see how any candidate, after
reading your unanswerable argument, car
maintain such monstrous heresy. Iou
have convinced me, and think oil tht
candidates, that just such use Of the pub
lie patronage as Resolution No. Too con-
dennis, is the only proper use to which i
can be apple l now promise you or
the honor of gentleman, that if you vii
give me the support of your columns
will do better by you than Allison has.
will give you the entire patronage Of tht
Office of Coroner, and, l will further
promise, that should you, during my tern
of office, shuttle off this mortal COLL"

usual ceremonies of consigning gentle

Believing that the rest Of the canddate'
will make haste to follow the noble exam'

you are badly hurt by the action of the
Convention, repudiate it, and then ever
the convention itself will make amends

The Democracy of Iowa, like those
Of Pennsylvania, have nominated good
men for their leaders in the coming
contest. The State ticket consists of
Hon. George Gillaspy, for Governor
Col. A. p. Richardson, of McGrcgor,
for Lieutenant Governor. and w. T.
Brannan, of Muscatinc, for Judge of
the Supreme Court. The platform de-
npunces the unscrupulous and usurping
action of Congress; demands present
reform and a final abolitian of the ma
tional banking system; advocates the
abolition of high protective tariff ;
denounces the trial Of citizens in time
of peace by military commissions; in
sists upon economy in the management
Of the national and State governments !;
favors the payment Of the public debt
according to the strict letter of the
contract, and concludes by cmphatically
denouncing the Maine liquor law now
in operation in the State of Iowa. If
the Democrats do not carry Iowa, they
will lay the foundatian for success at no
distant day.-Phil. Age.

FoR LIEUT.. GovERNoR.-The De-
mocracy Of Iowa have gone through
the motions Of nominating a State tick
ct. Col. A. p. Richardson, Editor of
tho North Iowa TINES, man for
whom We have great respect, is the
candidate for Lieut.. Governor. The
COL is too good an editor to play politi-
clan, but as he stands about as much
chance of an election as we do of sccur-
ing the Presidency of the Pacific K. r.,
there is no need of worrying.-Black
River Falls Banner.
The Democratic State Convention
made the following nominations:
G. Gillaspy, Of Wapello, for Gov
ernor
A. P. Richardson, of McGrcgor, for
Lieut.. Governor.
w. L. Brannan, of Muscatine, for
Judge Of the Supreme Court.
Edmund Jaeger, Of Lee, for Super
intcndcnt Of Public instruction.
The above ticket will, of course, be
defeated by a large majority, unless,
perchance, the temperance movement
now being SO strongly agitated, should
be the means of defeating the Rcpub-
lican nominations.
We know nothing about any of the
candidates except Col. A. p. Richard
son, Of the McGrcgor TINES, who il
one Of the most consistent Democrats in
the State Of Iowa, and who, in on,
opinion, ought to have headed the
ticket. The Colonel is an honor to the
newspaper fraternity and would be blu,
receiving his just reward could the
Democracy Of our State succeed il
elec!iug him, for he has lahored lonf

gated Democracy Of this State met in con.
vention ut Des Moines, on Wednesday,
last week, to 60 through the motions Of
making ticket to be beaten this fall, and
gush forth their feelings in resolutions.
The attendance was not large. and the
business was easily and rapidly transact-
ed. Unanimity prevailed. The ticket is
as follows:
For Governor-Gcorge Gillaspy, Of Wa
polio county.
Lieutenant Governor-A. L. Richard
son, of Clayton county.
Judge of Supreme Court--W. F. Bran
nan, of Muscatinc.
Sup't of Public Observation-Disclosures
Jacgar, Of Lee.
In its material, the ticket is we'll enough.
lnasmuch as it is a sufficiently painful
task to the gentlemen who compose it, to
he made public martyrs of, it is not worth
while to say anything but respectful
things of them. Mr. Gillaspy is an old
citizen of the State, and "wheel horse
in the Democratic ranks. MIR. Richard
son has attained Statewide celebrity as
party editor but as it is now discred-
table in Clayton county for an editor to
hold official position, nothing but the ex-
IRENE impossibility of an election will
make him consent to run. Mr.. Brannan
is reputcd to he cultivated gentleman,
and good nominee, while Mr.. jaeger
possesses only u local reputation.-Deco>
rah Republican,.
The next best thing to the tariff resol-
ution adopted by the Democratic conven-
tion Mt Des Moinea, was the nomination OF
Col. A. r. Richardson, Of the McGregor
Times, for Lieut.. Governor.
Besides being good fellow en- general
principles he is just the man for the posi-
ton, and where he is best known. will be
unanimously supported. Tompkins may

man in Clayton county that wont vote fol-
''pat."-Faye.te County Union.
Elsewhere in to days paper, we give
the names presented by the Democracy
for the suffrage of the electors of Iowa
next fall. We have every reason to think
that the ticket has been judiciously chosen
and that every man named, eminently de,
serves the position to which he aspircs
/ With Col. A. p. Richardson, candidate FOL
i the Lieut.. Governorship, we are intimate
ly acquainted, and would call that thu
happiest day of our life on which WI

Gallows literature seems to be by far the
most popular reading that can be offered to
the people of Philadelphia. A journal of
that city boasts that one of its cotempora-
ries was obliged to reprint on Thursday it's
edition of the day previous, containing the
particulars of the suicide of Twitchell and
the execution of Eaton, while another
printed and sold an edition of 95, 600 copies
containing its verson of the delectable

its attendant horrors is d ''sweet boon" to

TIME Commissioners Of Agriculture, in his report
Il for the year 1885, speaks as follows:
ration Of all malt liquors. In England and other
-ountres, where heavy penalties are imposed, and
an increasing vigilance practiced to detect and
punish such frauds, by system of inspection Of
all malt liquors manufactured before exposed to
sale, the practice is very common. How much
more in this country, where there are no laws on
the subject, and no officer to carefully analyze tho
products OF the brewery Some years ago, Pro-
fessor Mapes, Of New York, analyzed the beer
from dozen different breweries, aud all were
found adulterated with noxious substances tits
said that the sale of drugs to brewers is profit
able part of the trade. This is perfectly Infamous
Cocculus indicus, (fsh- -berry,) nux vomica, (dog-
button, from which strychnine is obtained, are
some OF the delectable substances found in beer!
These are potent poisons, and the brewer found
his own vats. The British Parliament passed
law to prevent this nefarious business. Tho fol-
lowinsis an extract: mo druggist, vendor Of or
dealer IN drugs, or chemist, or any other person,
shall sell or deliver to any licensed brewer, dealer
lii oT retailer OF beer, knowing them to bo such,
or shall sell or deliver to any person on account
OF. or liz trust for any such brewer dealer, or re-
taller any liquor called by the namo of or sold for
colorlng, from whatever material t, same may
DC DC made; or any material or prepal ION other
than unground brown malt, for the da. kening the
color OF worts or beer, any molasses, vitriol,
honey quassia, cocculus indicus, grains of para
disc. Guinea pepper, or opium. or any extract or
preparation of molasses, or any article or prcpa-
ration to be used in worts or beer for as sub
stitutefor malt or hops; and if any druggist shall
offend IN any OF these particulars, such prepara-
ton, &C., shall be forfeited, and may be seized by
any oiicer OF excise, and the person go offending
shall forfeit foe hundred pounds
under this law, very many druggists and brew
ere were brought to grief, and yet the practice
continues. Unless the American public are ready
to admit the immaculate purity and innocence Of
American brewers, they must be content, while
drinking their beer, to cherish the belief that they
are at the same time guzzling some narcotic poi
son or damaging medicine In view of the unpre-
cedented growth Of the barley crop; Of the great
increase of the number of maltsters and brewers;
drunk in every city and almost every town on the
continent; it is the dictate of sound wisdom, that
the attention Of legislators should be called to
the subject OF the adulteraon OF our malt liquors.
and severe penalties should be inflicted as pre-
ventive."
