A Voice from Iowa.

n VOICE HUH 1OWas
The St. Louis Republican has this spe-
cial:
CHICAGO, April I9.-Hon. j. B. Grinnell,
ex-member of Congress from Iowa, and one
of the oldest AbOlitionists i'll the West,
stated in an interview with a Times re-
porter in this city to-day, that the Liberal
Republican movement in Iowa possessed a
degree of strength which will prove a sur
prise to the friends of the cause else
where. The organization in the State is
complete, and includes nearly all Of the
Oldest and most prominent Republicans.
Liberal Republican conventions are to be
held in all OF the congressional districts
and in nearly all of the counties. The dele
CATION to Cincinnati will be very important
in point of numbers, intelligence and inhu-
ence. Quarters have already been secured
in that city for the delegates.
The Germans are unit in the support of
Carl Schurz.
Qhe bold and patriotic stand taken by
Governor Palmer causes much enthusiasm
In Iowa, where the Governor is known
and admired, and where thousands of sol
diers have reason to know of his service
and his worth. His action Mr.. Grinnell re-
CARDS as the death blow to Grantism in H.
linOis. The Liberal Republicans of Iowa
will support with eqaal earnestness either
Davis or Trumbull. Grants appointments.
are regarded with especial disgust in Iowa,
and his elevation of his own cousin to the
mission to Guatemala is deemed a bur
lesque. Hudson was never known to vote
the Republican ticket in his life. Mr.. Grin
nell has placed himself in communication
with the leaders of the liberal movement in
almostsall of the States, and has travelled
extensively through Iowa, Illinois and In
diana. All of these latter States he con-
siders as certain for the Liberal movement,
and is also sure that New York, Pennsyl-
vania, and at least two of the hitherto
radical Southern States will go against
Grant. Mr.. Grinnell is interesting himself
earnestly with the Liberals, and will be
leading worker in the cause in his section
