1t ia announced in general way, that
Senator Harlan will not be reelected
from the State OF Iowa by the Legislature
just chosen, but that either William B.
Allison or James E. Wilson will be the

The Rock Island argus, a Democratic
organ, dishes up the Iowa election after
the following styles "Black Iowa has
gone Republican by a majority some
where between fifty thousand and a nail
lion."
Mrs. Tracy Cutler and Lucy Stone
insert as q clause in their platform that
their single aim is suffrage, and give every
one TO understand that they are satisfied
with marIisge as it is, and in no way in
cline to free-love.
Off1cia; returns have been received at
Columbus from sixty. three counties,
which give a majority for the constitu-
tional convention of 46, 1888. OF this
amount Hamilton county gave 3S 1858.
The total Prohibition vote in sixty three
counties is 2, 2,297. Hamilton county gave
but IA votes of tLis sort.
The Rochester Democrat in an article
on the prospect says: With regard to
New York, there is naturally great
deal of nervous apprehension on the part |
Of Republicans. AS we have seen, how
ever, we lost the election last fall by our
own fault. We have, therefore, but to
work for victory now, in order to secure
it. Further than this, the friends of re-
form in New York city are on the alert
now, and it is not probable that false
counting will be as easily perpetrated as
n 1868.
In the Iowa Legislature, the House

over 1900 At the Presidential elec-
ton in 1860 the vote was 11S,S40 the
largest ever cast prior to the late cleo
ton. Subtracting the colored vote, It
would seem that the voting population
has not been much increased in the last
eleven years. The San Francisco BuE.
Ietin explains the seeming fact by the
circums: Ince that the State lost largely
in adult males by the silver mining rushes
subsequent to 1860, ana much the larger
proportion of her late gains of popula-
ton have been women and children.
Eoery Saturday inclines to the opinion
that we are drifting as indicated in the
following: at is obvious, therefore, that
the political drift of the times is more
and more toward mere differences of ad-
ministration, seeing tnat the great cause
of the fundamental issues of the past is
removed, and the regenerative influence
of the times toward purer elections and
