We clip the following pertinent
ana timely remarks from tho keokuk
CITE City and which are copied by
the Belle ainc Union:
We gravely doubt il his nomina-
ton for the place named would be a
good thing tor himself, or tho Grange
or the Republican party. II would
not be a good thing tor Mr.. Ada.s
because lie can have more influence
and do more good as Master OF the
National Grange than as Lieutenant
Governor. 1t would also prejudice
MIN because, however innocent OF it,
he could not escape the imputatlon
of having used his high position in
tie Grange as leverage to secure 20
lilical office. it would not be good
thing for the Grange, because the
latter is only in its formative stage,
Il :-------ii~~--.4s-u '.u .nu d,ssatlsIac-
tioa that would grow up inside the
Order il its Official herd should ac.
cept political nomination at the
Lands OF either party would cripple,
and even possibly disrupt and destroy
it. 1t would not be good thing
for the Republican party. Because
that party owes its strength to Its
principles and not 10 craft. And il
it were to try the strategy OF trying.
TO capture the Grange by the nom
ination OF Mr.. Adams it would be
deemed by many Republicans, Gran.
gers as well as others, sharp prae-
ticc unworthy both the Repr blican
party and the Grange, and they would
be profoundly dissatisfied Just so
soon, too, as Mr.. Adams were nom
mated the Democratic leaders would
raise the cry that Mr.. \. and the Re-
publican Chargers had sold tho Or
der out to orr party: they would APP
peal to Tit Dem ocratic Changers not
be delivered: and the appeal would
be successful. Nominated under
such circumstances we doubt if Mr..
A. would get the vote Of fifty Dem.
ocratIc Changers In Iowa. We are
confident that it would ke better for
the Grange and for the Republican
party to nominate some such man as
Senator Dysart than to nominate Mr.. |

FRED DOUGLASS IN NASHVILLE.

Fred Douglass, the most distinguished
representative of the eolored race in this
country, addressed crowd of fifteen
hundred people at the Exposition in
Nashville, last Friday night. The follow
ing extract is from the Banners synop-
sis of the speech:
He intended to discuss the subject Of
self-made men under four heads, as the
old-fashioned Methodist minister did,
and that was, firstly. secondly. thirdly
and fourthly, and would probably throw
in a conclusion. The first would be,
who are self.made menu" The sec.
ond, What is the process by which they
are developed, or what is the proper ex.
PLANTATION of this class of men2" The
third The help they derive, especially
in this country, from the ideas and insli-
tutions here well established" And
fourthly, "The criticisms to which they
are exposed in consequence OF having
come up in some sort OF irregular way.
Each of these questions Mr.. Douglass
handled in a mastery manner, showing
that the self-made mau was one who was
capable of being called such by mis- own
exertions, without being left with a
moneyed Inheritance or noble parentage.
Men had risen to such a degree without
the aid Of the fostering care of society,
but in derisive defiance of all the friends
OF society to keep them down. They
were the architects Of their own for
tunes. Such men as these, whether
found in colleges or in the factory, at
the plough or in the professors chair,
whether they belonged 10 :he Anglo
Saxon or the African race, we're entitled
70 the appellation Of sslf-made men.
They owed nothing to birth, nothing TO
early education, nothing to family infu-
ence, but we're what they were by virtue
Of the exercise Of their unaided iacgl-
ties.
Mr.. Douglass said that in order 10
ascend to this position, or 10 the stand
point that required person to be called
a selfmade man, Il would require dill
gent and energetic work Il had been
said that the negro would not work ss
he did before bis liberty vas given him,
aud that be would not wake up IS early
ia the morning as he would formerly do
for his old master. and that Il fifteen

There are the strongest reasons for be-

some startling revelations in connection
with the Kelsey outrage, aud that the
mystery will be solved and the principal
conspirators exposed and arrested. The
authorities have been on the trail for
sometime, and on Wednesday morning
next important witnesses. who have late
ly been found and whose testimony will
be positive evidence against the accused
parties, win be examined in private. 1t
is said these witnesses have been threat
ened with death in the event of their
tsstifying in the case. The authorities
state their intention to proceed against
the parties making the threats.
