favorably emphatic or cordial in re-
gard to the present administration Of
the national Affairs. Now even its
depreoiating criticism has been affect
ed by the crisis brought upon the

October number its lukewarmness gets
. little heated, Its indifference under.

statements. Greeley or the Demo-

tion In terms sufficiently cool and un-

with President Grant the country
Las u loast an assurance Of tranquility.
It will not bc lifted to . state OF per-
fection, but Il will incur no new peril.
The administration Of Grant will make
no rash experiments on our finances
aud our dangerously expanded our
rency. The public credit will BE- esfe.
The country will have se1srity from
foreign wars, tilibustering attempts,
and domestic violence. The constitu-
tiOnal office Of the President will re-
main intact, to be used to protect the
public credit and Treasury from hos
tile legislation and the bOundless
Southern claims growiDg out Of the
war. Reconciliation will he estah.

be that public confidence which lis
requisite to to the expanded trade and
credit OF civilization, and which 10

and banking situation and the coun-
try will have as much currency reform,

We tighten their purses; we taint their

And In our beer Though 1t may take longer
To get man drunk than drinks that are

We soil our poverty, sorrow and woe
Who wants to purchase? Our prices are low

Wen give you headaches and racking pains:
Well make you old while yet you are young;
To lies and Islander we'll train your tongue;

Make theft and forgery seem fair play.
And murder a pastime sure TO pay.

More Dots by the way-The Route
Through Iowa :. Soil and I'm
provements.

Mr.. ADvERTIsER:-My last was da-
ted Sept. 25, At Warren tp., Poweshiek
county. We stopped over Sunday 1t
that place. It rained nearly all night
90 that the roads were quite heavy.
Monday morning we started for Brook
lyD, following up Bear creek through
brush and timber and over very hill
y road.
Brooklyn Is divided into South
Brooklyn, on the c., r. I. 4 p. rail
road, and North Brooklyn, OH the
State wagon road. The latter. located
on the high rolling prairie north of the
rail road, appears to be q thriving
place.
Passing on, we leave the railway
and the towns along 1t to our left go-
ing through some as nice rolling prai-
rie as one wants % see. appearing to
have deep, rich soil, as the crops all
showed that there were good produc-
ing qualities in the soil.
We came to Grinnell aud found .
Handsome town, in prosperous con.
dition, with Iowa College ~ one OF
its chief ATTRACTIONS.
Passing along we came into Jasper
county, and found poor soil. rough
er country. We camped for the night
In Rock Creek township, and were
nearly used up with mosquitoes, which
vexed us all night not. little. On
Tuesday morning we started on our
way through rough broken country
to Kellogg on the railroad, which IL
quite = town. We crossed North
Skunk river near Kellogg. Along this
river there Is some nice bottom land
but 1t is all Inundated In wet seasons.
There Is also considerable timber and
stone, the country is rough, and in ma
ny places sandy and poor, but farther
west becomes more productive.
Newton, the county seat of Jasper,
Is situated on the divide between the
North and South branches of Skunk
river. The principal attraction of the
town is the large Public School build
ing. from the top Of which you can
get good view Of the surrounding
country.
Crossing the South Skunk river. we
came to Colfax around which the land
is rough and covered with brush. We
canped in Beaver township. Polk
county, good with deep soil.
Sept. 25. The country ~ we ap-
proach Des Moines becomes broken
and sandy. We passed through that
this forenoon. The prosperity OF Des
Moines is noticeable In the number of
new buildings In process Of erection.
We camPed for dinner two miles south
west Of Des Moines rs

The O'Conor Movement.

The campaign for o 'Conor 4 Adams
grows apace. Al Idinanap0lIs, . full
ticket was put In nomination headed
by Hon. A. p. Edgarton for Governor.
EdgartoD, who would have been the
second choice OF the Louisville Con-
vention for Vice President, was the
Democratic candidate for Lieut.. Gov.
ernor of Indiana in 1854, With Hem
dricks for Governor Edgarton ID
thoroughly respected by his own par
ty, and will make stirring and live
canvass.
In Michigan, the disgust with the
disgust with the Greeley bargain IL
showing Itself more and more strongly
every day. The pickering and trading
by the Greeley democrats with the
clique Of sore-headed republicans - 70
thing ever known in that State In i'm
decency and brass. In fact, many
respectable democrats who were indu-
ced to Join In the Greeley movement
~ the only expedient by which DEM
ocratic principles, whatever that may
mean, would be reinstated in the ma
tional aud State administrations, have
been compelled to withdraw from II IN
disgust. The course Of the Greeley
organs in Detroit and throughout the
State has driven from the coalition
even cute politicians who can see over
the length Of their nDses. A strong
organization Is being perfected in the
southern and western parts Of the
State.
In New York the O'Conor move
ment has attained massive proportions
and a movement will shortly be made
there at which the Confederstes will
not dare to wink.
IN every Southern State the deMo.
cratic press and the people are sban.
doning the bargain Of the ofiice.seek-
.rs aud attaching themselves to the
new candidates. A mouth hence
O'Conor and Adams will exhibit more
strength and in y more permanent
form than Greeley aud Brown will
have on the LIST Of next November

though county uniformity has not

by several boards to make that series
