From the Davsnport Gazette.
EDIToR DAILY GAZETTE My attcn
ton has just been called to the follow
ing in the issue of the Daily Daven
port Democrat of last evening:
The Des Moines State Leader say
Of our fellow-citizen: The Hon
Hiram Price, who for many yearssla
been most active Radical worker il
Iowa politics, is going to Europe. l
is asserted that he IS disgustcd will
Grant and his party, and while he doe
not desire, to take open ground
against Grant and the party that sup
ports him for reelection, he will alb
sent himself from the contest to avoit
the persistent opportunities on cithel
side to take the stump. It's grea
loss to the Grant force in the State, ,ant
especially in Scott county, and tn,
Second Congressional District to worl
without Hiram Price,"
l have known, ever since the Cincin
natl Convention, that the enemies o
President Grant, and of his admins
tration, were hard driven to find mate
