ing inside of offisial circles, with a
member of Congress to back him, he
was able to procure and publish
garbled extracts from official records.
But to give them effect they must be
published in Iowa, hence the necess-
ity for home organs. By some mys-
FERROUS movement the Times, hereto

deemed wise-whether from policy
or lack of courage it is not necessary
to determinc-to start the grossest
Islander against Harlan in the Times.
To obviate this necessity, the use of
a democratic sheet must be procured,
and thereupon the Herald suddenly
changed its opinions, aud become
his chief democratic organ. The
Herald could originate or copy any
ISLANDERS against a leading Republi-
can statesman, without losing caste
with the Republican party, a respon-
sibility the Times did not dare as
sumo, while from its columns the
Allison Republican papers, such rs

reluctantly copy them as matters OF

This has been the plan of opera

Grimes, hostile 20 Mr.. Harlan; and
thus it publishes the alleged frauds
of Judge Wright, who is charged
with defrauding certain indians, and
charges Harlan with completely in

columns of the Herald these charges
and ISLANDERS are copied into the
Times and its co-laborers in Allison's
interest, and they call loudly for Mr.
Harlan's explanation, "lest it may
iniure his reputation and that of thu

and fraud that is going on. The

OF course this is to be re.
