positively, to our knowledge. We
only urge, as often before, that
the first question with regard to any
candidate should be, Is he a good
man for the place? and the second,
Will he carry the full strength of the
party: The first qualification should
never be omitted in any case; and
the second one becomes important
when the two political parties are so
evenly divided as in this County.
We believe there are men enough in
the County who can fill the bill in
both respects; and among such let us
make selection.
The people Of this County will also
have to vote on the adoption or re-
lection Of the new Stock Law and Of
the new Ale, Wine and Beer Law,
at the ensuing election. Both OF
these proposed Laws have been duly
published in this paper, and are fairly
before the people ortheir individual
consideration; and each elector will
vote on them according to his per-
sonal opinion, without regard to par
ty, as neither one Of them is party
issue.
Finally, it does not now appear
that the ensuing campaign will cause
any unusual excitement here; but we
hope that this will not result in leth-
argy and Indifference. The interests
Of the people demand attention as
much now as ever, and they should
not be neglected. There need be no
fret and buster, but there should be
no relaxation of vigilance.

Notice is hereby given to the Re-
publican Electors of the Fourth Con-
pressional District Of the State OF

and here be given any explicit assur-
ance, in writing, in regard to this
depot business. The parties who
could make such contract are not
here, and can't be got at in time, so
far as we know. But we feel reason
ably sure-that is, as sure as a man
reasonably can feel, under the cir
that if Indiana TIP. votes
the Tax there will be depot at or
near Attica. On the other hand, If
Indiana rejects the Tax, it will re-
duce the prospects for the Road very
materially, perhaps knock the whole
thing in the head; but if the Road
should yet be built Notwithstanding,
the prospects for depot in Indiana
Township will be at best exceedingly
slim.
Consider these matters, friends.
You may say we are "always talking
Railroad" and that it is sour inter-
est to do So" True enough. But 1t
is your interest just as much as ours,
and even more SO. Every Farmer
in Indiana TIP. will get more direct
money benefit from the Road, dollar
for dollar, than we ever will. But
Railroad is too big an enterprise to
be carried through here by a few
persons. Our interests are united in
it, and we must pull all together If
we would get it. There's no use in
leaning back and saying that "the
Road will come anyhow" 1t won't
do it. Such argument and such ac-
ton will leave us all forever out in
the cold together. We are not on
any great through route. If we get
Road we will have to help build it,
! most assuredly.
Knoxville Township has led Off
right, Pleasant Grove has responded
nobly, and Liberty has done best of
all. Shall Indiana stand in the way
and block the wheels: Come, friends,
all who realize the great need OF our
County and the true state of affairs,
put now your shoulders to the work,
and help US out. The vote next
Saturday is the crisis. Let no fair
effort be spared; and may success
crown the day.

The latest reports from Europe are
very contradictory. Some Of them
declare that war is coming, and that
active preparations are in progress;
and others deny both statements.
The ostensible cause Of the trouble is,
the selection of Prince Leopold for
the Spanish crown. It is at least
indisputable that there is great ex-
element in England and on the
Continent.
Subscriptions are circulating in
London and at Liverpool for a fund
in aid of the families of the officers

If the accounts from the Plains are
to be believed, Indian atrocities out
West still continue, with prepara-
tions for more. The latest report is
of the massacre of a band of white
miners at North Park, by Utes. Tho
Indians are also reported to be fight
ing among themselves. But not half
of the reports from those regions
have any truth in them.

New York last Thursday, stating

Indiana Township votes on the
Railroad Tax question next Satur-
day. The last OF the Townshipsthus
far to hold its election, we earnestly
hope its voice may join favorably
and well with the noble chorus from
Knoxville, Pleasant Grove and Lib
erty. The success Of this Railroad
enterprise depends in great measure
upon the vote in Indiana. We say
"in great measure" because we
mean just that precisely. With a
favorable vote in Indiana Tp., there
will yet remain Monroe County to
hear from, and the Subscriptions to
hsxained iDutItiing 4 Railroad Is no
small bnsiness. 1t takes work, time
and money. But what is asked Of
us is not beyond what we ought to
do. If however the vote Of Indiana
TIP. should be against the Tax, it
makes the case just $l2,Sl0 harder
just so much more doubtful-just so
much. heavier burden on the rest Of
the people if the Road should still be
built.
But there are some in Indiana Tp.,
we learn, who say they will vote
against the Tax because they do not
feel assured that they will have IL
depot at Attica. Now, there is no
person here, we believe, who can just
at preset and positively give this
assvra.ce. Mr.. Grinnell could come
nef.rer doing it than anybody else
and we hope he may yet be in Attica
before the ynte comes Off, and refer
to this. But the citizens Of Indiana
can easily see that, if they take hold
and help build the Road, the mem
bers Of the A. X. & ID. Co., living
right here in their own County, will
do their best to secure all possible
benefits and advantages for the whole
! County. And further, it is no more
| than reasonable and natural to take
| it for granted that there will be a
depot at or near Attica, even without
any especial assurance from the Com.
pany. The distance from other
points, and the amount OF freightage
required by the Township, would
indicate this.
But now, If Indiana TIP. should
refuse to vote aid for the building OF
the Road, and If the Company should
still 90 at work and build the Road
nevertheIess-we 90 not say this will
happen, or that 1t may probably
happen; but supposeitshould happen
certainly the people Of Indiana Tp'
could not in that case expect the
Company to go to the expense Of
putting up a depot there, fitting up
the side-tracks, &c. For the business
must come to the Road anyway. Let
us explicitly state here that we are
not speaking for the Company, or by
its authority in any way, or by any
body else's authority. We are SIM
ply canyassing facts and possibilities
as the people Of that ZIP. ought to
canvass them before they vote next
Saturday.
Suppose, then, that this case should
come to pass that there should be
no depot between Marysville and
Knoxville how long would Il take
the citizens Of Indiana Up. to pay
out the $4,000 In hauling TO and
from the Railroad?
we regret that there cannot now

To the Republican Hotevsof losca:
Your fourteenth annual State Con-
yentiOn will be held at

Should the bill for increased repre-
sentation now before Congress pass,
the Convention will be charged with
the duty Of nominating candidates
...r ...a Offices OF Congressmen-at-
large. in the number to which Iowa
nav be entitled. Under the Trum-
bull amendment this number would
be three. .
The ratio of representation will be,
one delegate for each organized
County in the State, and, in addition
thereto, one delegate for every two
hundred votes, or fraction over one
hundred, cast for Samuel Merrill for
Governor, at the election in 1869.
The Convention will be conven-
tion of the Republican voters OF the
State; and all persons known to be
in full accord with the party and its
principles, are invited to take part
in the nomination Of delegates.
The Convention being held at a
late day, the time for the canvass
will be short. That the campaign
NAV be more quickly arranged, and
its conduct be made more satlsfacto-
nv, the delegation from each County
is requested to bring with it list OF
the names of the newly elected COM
mittee of the County; and from that
committee, if deemed advisable, a
statement Of the help the County
will want from speakers at large,.-
with which information the newly
raised Central Committee will have
their work greatly simplified. TINS
Committee, without desiring to in
fiuence the action of Counties, would
suggest that the placing Of the chair
man of the County committee on the
delegation, would accomplish this
without trouble; and enable him to
confer in person with the State Com
mittee as to the details Of the canvass.
