IL, however, all hands Join at Cincinnati,
Of this we are certain, viz, thaI the Grant
party will be rid Of its heavy German load.
-Western Weekly, Davenport, IOscd.
We hope the press of Davenport will sK-
cuse Us for noticing anything that sminates
from q concern whose influence 10 more
limited than the gsn.lest summer breeze
and whose existence is hardly known to its
nearest nsighborS, but ii is evident that il
has accidentally expressed the true ssnti-
msnt Of the Radical party towards the Ger.
mans. The German vote has kept these
very sneakS in power even when there has
been no principle in common between them,
and, now, when there is . prospect Of their
losing their support, they turn around and
say: "Damn the Dutch, they have only been
. heavy load to the Grant party, but as long
As we can vote them like cattle We Won't say
anything"
The other Radical papers of Iowa are to
shrswd to give this expression to their true
sentiment Thereverse is nearer the fact-thAt
the Grant party is . heavy load for the Ger
man voters, and they now propose to drop
il with its bigotry, prescription and illibsr-
atty and let II sink into its own cesspool Of
official corruption, nspOtism and bribery.

The Moline Wagon.

Everybody this side of the Rocky Noun
tsins has heard of the celebrated Moline
Wagons, and every farmer knows, If NOT by
experience by hearsay, that they are the ne
plus ultra on wheels. The man who rides
in them feels happier, the horses before them
can draw larger loads and 60 further in
day with less oats, while the produce that Is
hauled TO market in them IL worth little
more, and, if young fellow takes his Dolly
Warden out for ride in one Of them, nstri-
mony is little more certain, than IL any
other four wheeled vehicle be used, not even
excepting the Deacon's famous one-horse
chaise, which run hundred years to day.
The timber of the boxes, the hub and fel
loes, the reach and cross pieces, even the
bolts and the nails are little harder,
tougher and more durable than any other
tour wheeled animal raised west Of the
Allsghaniss. They take these qualities
from the very homely man who makes
them, while his partners, being all good
looking, give them that elegant finish that
is 10 always noticeable. So great has the
demand become for these wagons that the
company have been obliged to open large
sales room ia this cisy-just across Market
Square. Here can be found Mr.. E. B. S.od-
