below that given for Seymour in 1858,

We trust that the bright sun which
welcomed in the morning with us to-
day, also gladdcned the hearts Of Re-
publicans In the States of Pennsylva-
mia, Ohio, Indiana and Nebraska. A
clear sky has been always the best for
Republicans to fight under. They are
not so accustomed, as arc DEMOCRATS,
to wetting the inner man in order to
keep the outer man dry, as the saying
is, and hence rainy day augurs i'll

This State has been closely canvass
ed and it it is quite likely TINT q very
large vote, for State election, will be
poilcd. 1t is estimated that from s..
600 to $4,000 Republican votes viii no,
be cast for the State Republican ticket
owing TO the hostility thereto Of John
w. Forney and A. g. Curtin. On The
other hand, while this quarrel will nee
essarily have some deleterious effec
upon the Congressman, yet it is sup
posed that the recalcitrant Republican,
will, in the main, vote for the Republi
can Congressional candidates.
This condition of things makes i
certain that the vote on Congressmel

strength of the two parties.

The Iowa state Tax.

Some Of our Liberal" State exchan.
ges have stopped inventing and retail.
ing lies about Graut, long enough to
complain that our State Census Board
has raised taxation Is per cent. The
rate of taxation for the last three
years, has been two mills: it is now
20. But when the circumstances Of
the case are understood, no sensible
taxpayer will complain.
J.. Large appropriations have been
made by the last Legislature for be-
nevolent educational and penal insti-
tntions, which are imperatively need
ed. Every one who has been to Des
Moines in the last five years, knows
that the new Capitol cannot be ready
for us moment too soon. The now
Hospital for the Insane, Penitentiary.
Reform School, and the College for
the Blind, ETC., are Immediately and
lmperatively needed. And we think
that no citizen will say that Iowa
should act the niggard in reference to
such institutions.
2. The heavy reimbursement to the
State by the General Government On
account OF the war and defense fund
nave for several years reduced the
amount necessary to be raised by the

ed, 1t cannot be regarded as extraya-

The increase in the rate of taxa

that The Democrat Of your city has a
good deal to say about the old charge
against Loughridge of corruption in
his Recommendations Of postoffice APP
pointces. Perhaps it will with same
alacrity and persistency publish and
reiterate q fact greatly to Mr.. Lough-
ridges credit, which is this: Soon
after Loughridge's first election to
Congress, it became his duty to nomi-
nate pupil to the National Military,
Academy to fill a vacancy in that in
stitution from his district. His own
nephew and two other young mon
were candidates for the position. In
stead Of appointing his own relative,
as most men would have done, he ap-
pointeda disinterested and impartial
committee to examine into the fitness
Of the respective applicants for the
'schsiarship; detsrmining to saat0s sta
decision. The three young men were,
In physical capacity and mental &C.
qnirements, about equal, but the Com
mittee awarded the prize, over the
nephew Of Loughridge and the other
competition, to Abram E. Wood, who
had served, as private and lieutenant
in the 18th Iowa. Wood was accord
ingly appointed by Loughridgc. took

were the corrupt man the succotash
