Our State Campaign.

The Council Bluffs Nonpdrea, un-
questionably one of the ablest edited
newspapers in Iowa says of the PIES
ent campaign:
"The Republicans Of Iowa do not
seem TO he aware of the necessity for
the fullest activity in the conduct OF
our State campaign. They hold that
we have such n surplus of majority
that we can spare idlers and laggards
and still secure the State. This may
be true enough, but the Republicans
have always been rs proud of their
great majorities in Iowa as they are
of its broad acres, growing pOpula-
ton, and admirable administration
of the State Government. The right
of suffrage was granted to disfran-
chised race that the men of that race
might increase the number of resi-
dents who would participate in
the functions of electors, but that
enfranchisement did not contemplate
that those who had been voters would
neglect their duty to the State. In
October, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Iowa will each elect a Governor. In
two of these States, Ohio and Penn
syivania, important future national
interests are involved. General
Rosecrans was nominated in Ohio at
the suggestion of Hoffman and his
friends of New York, not that the
party migat take q "new departure"
by electiEg "a soldier but to kill Pend
Teton as a candidate for the Presiden-
cy i'm 1872, and to make way for the
candidacy of Hoffman, the young.
talented, and aspiring Democrat of
New York. Packer the Democratic
candidate for Governor of Pennsyl-
vania, was named i'm the Tammany
Convention last year, aud what he
lacks in youth and personal popu-
larity as a candidate for Presidency,
he will make up in his immense
wealth. Pendleton, by the declina-
ton of Kosecrans, has become the
standard bearer of the Democrats of
Ohio. These three cham pions of De-
mocracy, Psndleton, Hoffman, and
Packer, are struggling plainly for the
Presidential prize. Hoffman has
gained the first point i'm his election
as Governor of New York. Pendle-
ton and Packer are in the campaign
to win theirs IL possible. In both
those States we have the requisite
majority to defeat both. The great
States of Ohio and Pennsylvania are
pledged by solemn legislative enact
ments and by the bravery of their
people, who fought i'm the last war,
to the principles upon which that
war was waged and to the victorious
results. The Republicans OF those
States arc fighting a noble battle
agains the :. Bloated BODYBUILDING
Democrat and the polished "Gen-
tleman George and whilst they are
in the thickest of the fight they can
call upon the Republicans of Iowa
TO close up their ranks, that in Octo-
Der, when the first gun shall an
nounce their decisive victory. aglori-
Gus response may be heard from our
priaries. In every close county in
this State the Democrats mean to
give us sharp fight. They are at it
here i'm this county. Fusion, con-
tracts, bargains, swapping, and every
other honest and dishonest appliance
are used to weld together the discord-
ant and dissatisfied elements of what
they suppose will be their success.
Last fall We carried the State with
ringing shouts and i'm solid mass.
Within few votes of so, 600 majority
is Oh our banners Of last year. Let
us unfurl them again, and add an.
either fifty thousand, that our COM
patriots of Ohio and Pennsylvania,
hearing the cheer along tie Western
line, may move in solid mass i'm the
center and OH the left and leave no
remnant of a Pendleton, Gillaspy
or Packer, to trouble the dreams of
ambitious Democracy
