Of the best man in Iowa. The next

On the Gubernstorial question the
Benton County Journal 81 b:
Among the many good men named
~ candidates it 10 our opinion that
Henry O'Connor is as good ~ any
other, if not little better. Being q
Republican Of the right, tried and
true metal, q prominent lawyer, =
man Of eminent ability and uncom-
promising integrity, . thoroughly
posted man in politics and general
information, . person who has won
his reputation and fame by hard
work and diligent application, man
to whom the rising generation Of
young men may look for IN example
Of what energy and study may &C.
complish, and being to man for the
high position Of Governor, it is our
desire that the Benton county dele
gates 90 instructed to vote to . man
for Henry O'Connor."
The Clayton County Journal
strikes q hesvy blow for Mr.. Harlan,
~ follows:
"As every paper should be the re-
flex Of popular sentiment, we have 80
far abstained from agitating this
question until we could ascertain the
sentiment Of our people-but are
now prepared to say that Senator
Harlan is the choice Of large ma
jority Of the Republicans of Clayton
county. There is but one man
whom the people Of this county
would prefer to Senator Harlan, and
that is James F. Wilson, but as he
refuses to be , candidate, the choice
necessarily falls upon the present in.
cumbent. The question Of
United States Senatorship is rnateri.
ally different from what it was two
years ago. Then Judge Wright was
3 candidate, who had no prestige or
IN the legislative halls of
the nation, while Col. Allison, who
made an efficient Representative, and
who was his opponent, had. It was
quite natural that we should then
prefer Col. Allison to Judge Wright.
But now the situation is changed. A
statesman, and one OF the country's
ablest Senators, Is again q candidate,
and we prefer him to new man."
The Jefferson Bee, in reply to
some of the Gate City's Every wise
things on the question Of the Sixth
District"-the subject being the Car
penter and Scott question-says:
1.-The facts deduciblo from the article
are: that while the Sixth District is
very generally in favor Of Col. Car.
penter's nomination, it must not CON-
init itself against Col. Scott, tor tear
that such act would. incense other
portions OF the State and result in
the defeat OF both OF them. In other
words, that the Sixth District is to
allow the other portions of the State
to make the selection OF . man tor
the very honorable position, and then
give that man the boost of its
strength. While both men are good,
the friends of each are not disposed
to yield to the other, and both will
go into The Convention with as many
votes as they can muster. There will
be no swapping around. The Car
penter men will stick to their man
to the last, and will make hot fight
for the success they covet. And the
District will be nearly unit for Car
penter, unless there is treachery used.
The District, while it claims the
Governorship, does not become q
beggar, and will not accept any such
arrangement as the Gate City seems
to favor. But then with the nomina.
ton Of either, a high honor will be
conferred upon it, however not I'm.
deserved.
