The state Nominations.

We place at the head of our columns this
week the nominations for State officers
made by the Republican convention which
met at Des Moines on the 18th inst. The
tickle, is q strong one, and the nominees in
dividually and collectively, such as every
true Republican can endorse unquali6edly,
enthusiastically.
1t is not necessary to speak in special
terms of commentator of the old State Of
fcers renominated. The sound financial
condition Of our State, the zeal, efficiency
and economy which mark the administra-
ton of her affairs, the prosperous and pro-
gressive condition of her institutions, the
content of her people and the good name
which she bears abroad, speak more en-
phatically for their capability and general
fitness for the positions they hold than can
any euIogium Of ours.
Of the new men it is but firth to say that
no better selections could have been made.
The candidate for Auditor, John Russell
is especially acceptable. He his served
long and we'll in a legislative capacity, and
with the knowledge ct the financial affairs
Of the State thus acquired he is we'll fitted
70 assume the duties of Aaditor. With
this acquaintance with the duties of the po-
sition, Mr.. Russell unites sturdy iEdepen-
ldence Of character, and inAsxible integrity,
so marked as to have earned for him the
wellseseryed ape,lstion Of Honest John
Russell.
Col. Aaroe Brown Of T:yette, the candi-
date for Register is also a man of the most
thorough integrity, and will well account
for the important trusts placed i'll lis hacds.
lie served with credit in the army during
the rebellion.
Messrs. Miller and Day the candidates
for the vacancies on the supreme bench,
have high legal attainments, and we're sup
ported with much earnestness by the dele
gates from their own sections Of the State.
The ticket as a whole is we'll calculated
10 call out the Republican strength, and
will undoubtedly be elected by the usual
majorities.

Democratic state Convention.

1t may be an item of interest to some Of
our readers to know that the Democracy OF
Iowa held a State convention at the CAPT
tai on the 10th inst, and went through the
motions of setting up number Of no doubt
estimable gentlemen, like ten.pins to be
bowled down by Republican majorities this
fall. The attendance was not large, MS on
" gentlemen of unlimited leisure could at.
ford to spend time so unproGtably, but what
II lack, Il in numbers it made up in spice
and spirit. 1t was made the occasion OF a
square fight between the Young Democra-
cy and the old reacti ,nary, spleen-consumed
fossils who have dictated the policy and
platform of the party so long, and-we re-
cord it as hopeful indication--the result
was victory for the Young Democracy,
led BY our excellent friend and editorial
brother John P. Irish of Iowa City.
After framing a series Of resolutions from
which the negro, and all questions growing
out of his past and present status are ex'
cluded, the convention proceeded to make
the following nominations for State officers ::
Secretary Of State-Chas. W. Doerr, Of
Lee county.
Auditor of State-W. W. Garner, of
Louisa county.
Treasurer Of State-W. C. Jones, Of Pot
tawattanIe county.
Attorney General-H. NJ. Martin, Of
Scott county.
Register of State Land Ofice-D. F.
Ellsworth, of Hardin county.
Reporter of Supreme Cout-J. L. She
han, of Jones.
For Clerk Of Supreme Court-Wm. Nc
Lehman, of Dubuque.
For Judges Of the Supreme Court-Long
Term, c. Knapp, of Van Buren, county;
Dillon vacancy, p. II. Smyth, OF Des
M1,;nee; Wright vacancy, Reuben Noble,
OF Clayton.

BETTER AND BETTER.

1t appears from the official state
mcnt OF the receipts and expenditures
OF the government for the fiscal year
ending June 3olh last, that the show.
irg Is better even than WAS claimed
by senator " ilson in his address, as
Chairman OF the Congressional Exc
cu,ive Committee, to the Republicans
OF the county. ! he excess OF reven-
ueS, over those Of the year 1869, is
$50, 4oO, 600, instead Of s3s. 100000,
as claimed by the committee. The
saving in expenditure over that ri
last year is $40, 743.OOo, instead OF
$4,000 600. AS claimed by the Com
miuec. That is to say, the official
exhibit is better for the admi'istra-
tons by about $l4,OOO,0OO, than
was supposed to be the fact by the
Congressional Committee, who were
not furnished with the complete state
ment, which was not prepared at the
time Of the address.
1t is undenlable that leading
issue of the campaign of 1868 was
the question OF economy, and reform
in the conduct OF our public affairs,
1t il certain that in this respect, the
pledges OF the Republican party have
teen fairly aud honestly redeemed
that economy has been lnauguralel
and many valuable reforms instituted.
1t was not within the scope Of reason
able exnection that the diverse views
upo" our abnormal s. s;cm of finance
could be SprediI. harnonzc /, but the
main fact cannot be disputed the re-
forms have been made. The expen-
dlture of the government, the taxes
of the people have been greatly rcdn-
ced. On those questions OF prac'icai
importance, the Republican party can,
theret, re-, 90 before the people. and
with reason and justice, ask their
approval and support. = Chicago

The Superintcndcnts' Convention

The recent meeting OF County Su
perintepdents of Schools at Manches-
ter was attended with much interest,
and elected very full and able discuss
ion Of subjects affecting the cfficien-
cy and welfare of common schools.
We have not the space for tho full
report of the proceedings, but give
the rcsolu ions adopted, as in some
measure cmbodymg the results of he
meeting:
Resolred LIST, That there is need I
more uniformity in the administration
of the school laws throughout the
State in the different counties, aud
that these conventions may do much
toward securing such uniformity and
also toward advancing the general
int, ests Of the cause OF education.
Cd, That all possible means shousd
be employed to remove the evil cx-
isting from n multiplicity OF tex,
books in our schools, and that while
we desire a county uniformity, yet we
believe the same can he secured and
maiut aimed only by legislative enact
mcnts.
Sd, That County Teachers Insti-
,utcs in diffusing among teachers a
better knowledge Of their work and
melting them to higher attainmen,s
in their vocation, are indispensable in
our present educational system; and
,nat their efficiency may he greatly
enhanced by the diligence OF the Co.
Superintendent.
4lh, That il youths between the
ages If I to l6 years were compelled
by the State 10 attend the public
schools, it would secure much bet
ter education OF those for whom the
means are SO literally provided. and
contribute to the peace and safety OF
our country.
9Th, That County High Schools
should be established within the Dor
dcrs of each county TO provide the
necessary facilities for pursuing n
more advanced com SO Of study than
NAV be reached in the common
schools. and to prepare teachers for
their work; to keep the youth of the
country near the healthful influences
of home during the period in which
character is forming, and to provide
necessary link between the COM
mon schools and the State Universi-
ty.
eth, That school visitation proper
~ conducted by the County Superin-
tendent is one OF the most effectual
means Of improving the condition Of
our public schools, and regular rcci-

Soldiers Of Iora- GENTLEMEN Eve
years have elapsed since the authority Of
the Government was re.estab'ished, and you
laid aside the weapons Of war and returned
20 peaceful pursuits. In the contest which
then terminated, you bore no unimportaat
part. Whether in the never-b beaten ARM of
the Tennessee, or in the other victorious le-
gions Of the Republic, the record Of your
deeds is proud one. In the perls and the
glories Of the battlefield, and in the priva-
tons of the camp, your solderly qualities
were ever conspicuous.
The years that have followed the close Of
the conflict tell of your praise worthy though
less conspicuous triumphs, 10 the more qui-
ct walks Of life, demonstrating in striking
manner the lofty character Of the citizen
soldier.
During these three years Of peace the
great questions, growing out of the contest
Of arms have been finally settled and the
Union reconstructed on an enduring basis !;
such, it is hoped, as will prevent the posi-
bility Of the recurrence Of civil war. Ii the
enjoyment Of this profound and continued
peace, and thankful for all i.s blessings, Il
