Tama County Republican. (Toledo, Tama County, Iowa) 1867-1872, 1871-08-31

There has seldom been Senate
rial canvass in the history of Iowa
politics, begun 50 early il the season
and with SO much energy, as the
present one. Two years ago Nj. Al
lison ran a sharp but short race, and,
doubtless, he then learned that a
long and ardent campaign was nee
essary ii he expected to win. Ger
tain it is, at least, that Mr.. Harlan's
friends did not force this early con
test upon the State, but, on the con
trary, that his opponents are account
able for the length and bitterness
of it.
Now, If it ever was apparent that
the Republicans of Iowa desired Mr..
Allison to fiji the place SO long and
successfully filed by Mr. HARLAN, it
was certainly plain that the large
amount of political toll already ex-
pended in Mr.. Allison's behalf was
totally uncalled for. \ man fitted
for and deserving OF, such a position,
has no right, either personally or
through his friends, to make such q
canvass. Neither does man who is
conscientiously strong allow his name
to be urged by any intrigue. 1t is a
signal evidence OF weakness to sec
political engineers and roustabouts
engaged upon all the cogs, spindles
and gulgeons, oiling and Furnishing
the political machine in order that a
race may be won for a certain one,
in tbs name Of the people, and yet
IN spite of the people.
But, rs tie contest stands at pres
ent, the preference is decidedly in
favor Of Mr.. Harlan. s. far as our
own county is concerned there can
be no doubt Of this. Mr.. Harlan is
an old, tried servant and his voice
has long been heard with no nncer.
tain sound. Mr.. Allison has had a
long experience in the Congress ol
the United Sta:es,-qnitc long
enough to have stood shoulder to
shoulder with the best men of tie
| House. But not having achieved
any considerable position in a service
Of eight years there, what conclusion
is lett for us but that lie lacked the
necessary ability to attain to it Be
sides this, there is another objection.
VIZ: Ills connection with the "Reye-
me Reform cabal, which, in our
Judgment, weighs heavily against
sending him to represent Iowa in the
Senate.
MIR. Harlan has taken position
that will reflect credit upon himself
and the State, even i. Ire should new
or open his mouth on politics again.
His Judgment is of no second rate
and his power in debate has been &C
knowledged and keenly felt by the
oldest and ablest members of the
Senate, and, besides, the objection
against Mr. Allison does not lie
against him.
In the present heat Of this canvass,
Hon. James r. Wilson has been
named as a third man in the field.
and 1t is pretty certain that this sug-
gestion comes also from Mr.. ALI
sons friends But Notwithstanding
this new complication and all the
merit and standing Of Mr.. Wilson,
Mr.. Allison is certainly no nearer
success than before, while Mr.. liar
Ian stands quietly and contessedly
the strong man OF tie campaign.

on Wednesday last. After free discus
sion on various points connected with the
enterprise, the subscribers elected MessrS.

mittee to advise with the Minister Of the
Interior IN regard 10 the Location, style Of

bert being both practical men, their selee-
tion as the committee Is euinsutly wise.
It Is a cause Of congratuIation TO all
that AZ last steps have been taken which
viii insure the erection of s hotel which
viii be a credit TO the place. The time Is
fast approaching when those Of our citi-
zens who visit other countries, when
praising the beauty Of the scenery Of the
islands and the saIubrity of their climate,
need not be put to the blush when asked,
How about your hotels = They viii be
able TO say with some pride (which will
not be lessened if they happen to be sub
seribers to the fund.- that the public spirit
ed citizens Of Honolulu seeing the neces-
sity of having q good hotel built, have
come forward and subscribed the money
to erect q suitable building: and that
care viii be taken when the building Is
completed, that 1t viii be kept on the
most approved plan; that 1t viii be a
pleasant home for the pleasure seeker, the
sight seer and the invalid, alike.
We understand that several eligible 10
cations are in view, though as yet no site
has been fixed upon, although we presume
some place viii be selected which viii. as
far as possible, unite the requisites Of
agreeable scenery and airiness with a
proximity TO the business centre Of the
town There may be some difficulty
in fixing the latter point, as in the
opinion Of many the business centre Is
situated according to the locality Of their
own business places They think the
true centre Is very near their own premis-
e, no particular matter where that may
be. We have no doubt that our friend
who disPoses Of excellent groceries far up
Nuuanu Valley, thinks, honestly, that the
needle Of the business compass would
stand Perpeudieular very near his place
perhaps it would AT any rate, wherever
the centre may be-sOme insist that 1t Is

hsve observed people on jobs which should
have been done in one day, prolong them

twinge of pity for the pocket of their en-

Can 1t be doubted that the next time they
feel impelied TO repair or improve their
premises, they viii have lively remem-
branoe both Of the tediousness snd eN-
pense of the jobs which they have seen 50
long delayed?
There Is another way in which public
spirit Is frequently developed in this
town; The streets are certainly not very
wide, yet gentlemen not only do not give
any room when they are building, but
take the opportunity 10 load the side

they might put fine concrete pavement

agreement, but the persons holding un-
der him concluded 10 cut a door in the
end where none had been before, and
occupy the sidewalk thus made with steps.
One of the difficulties under which we
labor Is this: That almost all the foreign
