Next Tuesday.

The annual election occurs next
Tuesday, and we trust that every
voter, be he a Republican or Demo
crat, will see to 1t that he goes to the
polls and deposits his ballot. Every
citizen should remember his duty In
this respect and do II. We have
no thought but that Black Hawk
county will elect the straight Repub.
lican ticket, but the certainty OF sucn
a result In the minds of the people
may cause many to remain OF home
aud tins decrease the vote, | fnot the
majorities, In the county. sa' .
OF the candidates before the people
we have spoken heretofore. The
ticket throughout IL a good n and
should receive the support OF every
Republican. Local prejudiees should
not be allowed to di tide the vote.
The true soldiers stand by their guns.
Let Black Hawk roll up n larger ma
Iority than ever before. TO do this
every one must do his duty. See to
it that your ewn vote goes In and
then if your neighbor is not on hand
go and get him. Remember that the
vote this fall will tell greatly upon
the campaign in 1872. Spurious
tickets will undoubtedly be in the
field, as We understand that the DE.
mocracy are making great efforts to
increase their vote. Read the ticket
at the head of our columns and when
you GU to the polls next Tuesday see
that every name Is correctly on your
ticket before voting. aea 9ars r.. I'D

Congress at the last session on the ap.
portionment question, the Secretary
of the Interior will, under the laws
of 1850 and 1852, make the apportion-
ment called for under the census Just
taken. The number of Representa-.
tives will be two hundred and forty
one, giving ten additional to thu
slave States, two each to Illinois and
Missouri, and e each to Iowa, Kan
sas, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jer.
sey, Texas amp Wisconsin; New York
will lose three, Ohio aud Pennsyl-
vania two each, and kentucky one,
while the New England States will
probably lose six i'm all. Some tive
or three States will gain an addition
al member for the large fractions they
may show, which cases will require
the action of Congress to authorize
elections at large.

A peopIe'S Ticket.

Alta late hour before going T press,
we are informed by posters, that q
Peoples Convention is TO be held at
Waterloo Tomorrow, for the purpose
o~fplacing such o ticket in the field
that will right all the wrongs that hu-
manity has fallen heir to. W. I'M
derstand it Is for the especial pur-
pose of defeating certain ones on the
regular ticket, who are claimed 10
be obnoxious to the people. The
call reads; 'all opposed to ciiques,
railroad monopolies and SIGH. -
These movers expect to pull the wool
over the eyes of the people by claim
ing reform. We trust that there are
enough Republicans in the county
to defeat and forever settle o game
so transparent, What are party
nominations, If the men who COM
pose IL are not ready to stand by the
action of the Convention.

a correct abatement Of this bridge
question, which IL now claiming the
attention of the qualified electors oil
the County. Mr.. Wetherwax, by
authority of the Board, undertook
the repairing OF the bridge across the
Cedar at your city. To commence
he found the top cords to an arch
broken, and upon further examina.
tion found many of the tlmbers
lady rotted. The Board was called
together to see what could be done
i'm the .premises. Mr.. Paul, an en-.
gineer and practical bridge man, and
Mr.. Courtney, bridge superinten-
dent of the I'll. Cent. R. r.. Co., was
consulted. Their testimony was
that the bridge was entirely unsafe,
aud q large portion of the super
structure was also condemned. ~.
The Auditor was authorized to
call Especial session to take into con-
sideration the subject matter of the
re. building and making, an appro-
priation therefor, and $s, 900 was APP
prorriated for The superstructure.--
The proposition for proposals for
the masonry was advertised and the
contract awarded before the regu.
lar session of September. & @E#s
At the September session parties
interested in a bridge on Sixth street
came before the Board with a SUBJ
scription of$7,2 75 as a bonus for build
ing the bridge on said street, al
though said street does not cross the
river and on the east side terminates
at Water street. ~
Could the Board entertain q propo-
sition of this kind after the contract
had been awarded to build on Fourth
street? Surprising a moment ID
could, what would they gain? On
Fourth street we have to abutments,
worth 5000. An additional pier on

women and child standing on the corner OF Cham

told him that they had just arrived from Chicago by

they did not know what TO do. The officer took them
10 the station house. and Sergeant John J. Ftzger-
