The movement of the farmers in Iowa
to possess themselves of the power to
carry out the reforms which are needed
to relieve the great producing class from
its shackles, will attract attention. The
organization is young, and healthful and
promising. 1t may be the coming party.
IF it should prove not to be, the masses,
who are bent on Reform, will try some
thing else. The significance of the Iowa
movement is that the men engaged in it,
did not belong exclusively to either of
the old parties. They have been at
tracted from both by the supreme de-
mands of the times. 1t is worthy of
special note, that the deliberations of the
were concluded with a speech
by John p Irish, chairman of the Dem
cratic State Committee, who pronounced
in favor of the nominees,
and said "the result of the past year had
convinced him that the Democratic party
had outlived its day and its usefulness"

This plan of selecting candidates is
being tried in a number of counties in
place of the Convention system. We
would suggest as there are no oaths adj
ministered and no legal way to prevent
fraud, care should be taken to appoint
managers of unquestionable integrity and
impartiality.

Somebody has cited Gov. Hendricks,
of Indiana, thorough-going Reformer
and the exact opposite of Hunkerism, as
in favor of the reactionary movement of
the Ohio Bourbons. Now, here is what
his personal organ, the indianapolis SEN
tinel says:
PartiSans i'm both ranks cannot be brought
to see that old party politics have no longer
any force on the popular mind The error
of the recent political demonstrations in
Ohio seems to be this ignoring of the new
State of mind into which great bodies of
both parties have fallen.

The organization OF the anti-Radicals
in the counties in which they have an
ascertained ascendency, and in the doubt
full counties, is going forward briskly and
in spirit expressive of determination
to wrest the law-making department of
the State from the Wreckers. Let the
Conservatives in the several counties,
placing little trust in a general platform,
present such issues as are adapted to the
wants of the people in each locality.
Bring out your strong men, smite the
enemy hip and thigh and plant your
blows where they will do most good.

Gen. j. L. Kemper, the Conservative

The Salary Grabbers have insisted that
they could not afford to live in Washing
ton at less salary than 81 800 per an
mum. Admit this to be true, and how
does that justify them in appropriating
to their uses 1925 per month when they
are not on duty, which is the case for
more than one-half of the year. On the
subject of the Congressional Salary, Hon.
E. B. Washburne, now Minister to
France, says:
was in Congress when the salary was
but 81, 1000, and / always found it more than
sufficient to meet my necessary personal ex-
penses. When it was raised TO $1,000 /
thought It too much, and think 80 still; but
raising it to $500 is nothing more nor less
than straight stealing. Every year that
was in Congress laid by portion of my
salary, and none of my constituents ever
complained that didn't live decently. The
people don't send their representatives to
Washington to live like princes. buck the
tiger, and keep half dozen misTesses.

Several gentlemen of Rankin, who
have been solicited to become candidates
for the Legislature, have declined through
the Republican. IF the anti-Radicals
could induce J. L. McCaskill and T. S.
White, or 10. Jayne, Jr., and T. S.
White to take the field, the ticket would
possess elements of strength that would
make it irresistible.

NEW YORK, July 18th, 1S,

New YORK, July 18th, 1873.
1t is credtable to the newspaper press, that
the rumors affecting the good name of Henry
Ward Beecher. which were put in circulation
by disreputable weekly journal, some eight
months ago, have elected little comment, and
have been universally discredted. The emf
nent divine thus ruthlessly assaied, has MAIN
tanned throughout the dignified silence which
best comported with his self-respect. "Who
excuses accuses" and the effect of denial of
allegations too gross for human credulity and
too absurd for discussion, would have been to
lift a couple of brazen romancers into adven-
titious consequence.
But the public indignation against the
shameless scandal-mongers, who sought to
give currency to a licentious sheet, by splicing
it with ISLANDERS upon the most eminent cler-
gyman of our times, has been from the begin
ming, pronounced and emphatic. Mr.. Beech
er is a popular idol. Elevated, by his great
talents and matchless eloquence above the en-
Wy or rivalry of his contemporaries in the cleri-
cal profession, his broad humanity, his genial
affability and his ingenious nature have serv
ed to endear him to all classes of people, and
10 make his name and fame precious to men
Oh every creed and in every station in life.
