NOTES AND OPiNi ON.
Tho Iowa election of Governor, Logfglaturo,
etc., in October, is ono Of tho fow important
elections to be hold this year, and tho Canvass
will havc peculiar interest because Of tho
Farmers Movement, which ia moro thoroughly
organized in that than in any othor etnso. For
years past Iowa has boon good, ut my time, for
q Republican majority Of from 10000 to G0000,
but tho possession Of power at Dos Moinos haa
boon attended with rink growth Of corruption,
a lavish expenditure, well nigh bnnkrupting tho
Treasury, aud d defiant disregard Of public
opinion. What tho farmers will do romaine to
bo seen.
