This seemed poser, but it wasn't.
NO." said the man promptly, 81 would not

puts in clincher to their falsity.
On Tuesday evening, Of this week, the
Financial or Labor Reformcrs were out in

ceding. Their company was not half their
voting strength. but it makes us feel well
to sec men who depend on nerve and mus

Wealth and Pretcnsion. We were all
born barefoeted and without shirts: why,
tLcn, should one tenth of the humans
manage political cards SO as to get all the
clothing? As stated in note, some
weeks since, We think the home Of the
"Union" is with the Democratic party,
and without indorsing movement which
our judgment tells US will not succeed,
we have the highest respect for their mo.
tives, their out,spoken independence, and
their general integrity Of intention. AS
in all other parties there will be schemers,

The ticket is one emincntly fit to be
presented to the people for their sup

Our nominee for Governor, Col. Geo.
Gillaspy is one of the pioneers of the
State, identified for years with her in
terests, possessing an acute and intelli-
gent knowledge of her needs. He is
a self made man, and by the force Of
his own good arm and strong will has
risen to affluencc and position.
He is a man Of imposing personal
presence, great refinement Of manner,
urbanity Of address and always genial
and kindly in social intercourse. We
cannot recall man, who as governor OF
the State would exercise a heavier in.
fucnce upon the scale of public opinion
Or command more wide spread respect
For Lieutenant Governor We have
presented the name of Col. Pat. Rich
ardson, of Clayton County. Colonel
Richardson has been long a resident Q!

possessing the most endearing qualities
Of head and heart. He has been fo

Colonel Bausenwein and party arrived
in Waterloo last Wednesday evening, and
the Courier says that the distance from the
Des Moines river, in the city Of Des
Moines. to the Cedar River, in the city Of
Waterloo, is within q few yards of an even
hundred mies. The route is found to be
one that will be easily constructed. From
Marshalltown to Waterloo and for nearly
half the distance to McGregor very little
difficulty will be fourd. The Colonel is
much pleased with the character of the
route, and with the reception he every
where receives from the people along the
line. On Monday, the 18th, in company
with P. Mclsaac, Esq, one of the Direct
ors and a member Of the executive COM
mittee of the company, the Colonel rode
out oyer the route as far as Fairbanks, in
Buchanan County, distance Of TWEEN
ty-fve miles from this city. They found
splendid route and the people wide
awake. They held meeting at Fair.
| banks, which was very enthusiastic, and
promised liberal aid whenever needed. A
meeting was appointed for Wednesday
evening, at Lester, which Mr.. Mclsaac at
tended and addressed.
