Below we publish complimentary.
satirical and other notices Of the lately.
nominated State ticket Of the Democratic
party of Iowa. Our own name enters
largely into the business. This looks like
egotism. We admit it. But merchants,
steamboat men and mechanics often pay
the press to say they are the greatest Of
living men in their line Of business, and
why cannot editorial candidates for State
honors give readers the general ideas
entertained of them? Some people wait
till they are dead for the benefit of
post-mortem. OF what use is kind
expression when you are in the ground 2
You cannot see it or hear it, We prefer
the ante norton, and hence these "radiant
pearls at random strung make US glad
to know that our residence in Iowa has
won personal friends whose social worth
to US is valued beyond the kind express
Ebns which characterize their remarks
Some say things quite funny; some
talk for mischief, but as it is not our forte
to make speeches, we claim indulgence for
advance ''applause," through the columns
OF editorial laborers, with many of whom
we are personally acquainted. If the pre-
diction, by many, of our defeat, shall re-
alize, then why not have ante morton no
ticcs and make the best Of life (poltical)
while it lasts. We do not intend to die
without u sign as Cardinal Woolsey did,
but when the radicals invite us to enter
their domains to conciliate tariff robber-
les, treasury stealings, (see their own re-
ports) frauds of all character known in
financial dishonesty, We will decline the
invitation.
We think GEORGE arc Us will more Gov.
SAN. and CAPT. WALDEN around pretty
lively. Our editorial opponent will please
exchange.
THE TIcKET.--At the head of our edi-
torial columns may be found the ticket
put in nomination at the Democratic State
Convention last week. On our first page
may be found the proceedings and plat
form of the Conven ion. The principles
incorporated in the resolutions Of the
convention have our cordial support The
candidates are mer Of enlarged views and
liberal principles are old settlers who
have long been Unidentified with the ma.
terial growth and progress of our state.
and have given just and generous
support to every sautary measure Of
reform or of improvement. They are all
sound in the advocacy Of measures that
are good for the future Of our country !;
are democrats alive to the present, and
hopeful Of the future with the past they
have only to avoid its errors and its fol.
lies and profit by its lessons Of wisdom
and of statesmanship.-Nep Oregon
Rlaindealer.
OCR Recommendation SLIGurED.--We
shall make no more recommendations to
the Democratic party. 1t may now go on
in its road to ruin fast as it pleases. Just
before the Democratic State Convention
met. we made suggestion to it for the
benefit of all concerned. 1t seemed to
need salt to save it, and we freely offered
] the saline material. There was difficulty
in retting candidates for the two most
important Offices condition Of things, we
may remark, never known in that party
where it has may chance Of success, and
We CALAMITY came to the rescue. Insti>
I gated Ly local pride and an appreciation
Of political merit. services and virtue, we
recommended as Grst rate candidate for
: Governor or Lirnt. Governor, our cotem-
I porary Of the Democrat. We knew he
would run faster and longer, and with
less dead weight to carry. than any other
nag in the field. and that in the end, he
; would be the only one inside the distance
post. We do not entirely blame the party
for not accepting our suggestion, because
the madcsty Of our neighbor perhaps pre-
!, vented the use of his name. But still oul
recommendation deserved some more
!. consideration than it evidently received
9 and we shall not again hold out helping
!, hand to such inappreciative Democratic
) bodies. We wish it understood that the
!. compremiss offered US by nominating Pat.
9 Richardson for Lieut.. Governor. instead
= Of our Richardson, won't win. Our Irish
) friends may be deluded by the Pat but
! that Richardson won't do for us.--Dav.
