THE LIEUTENANT GOVERN.
ORsHIP.

We have been pleased to notice II
several Of our State exchanges favora
BILE notice Of Mr.. Dudley w. Adams
Of Allamakee county, In connection
with the Republican nomination fol
Lieutenant Governor Of Iowa. The
gentleman referred to enjoys to q
great an extent - any man In the
State the confidence Of that leading
class OF our citizens, the farmers, 70
which he he himself belongs. He has
the certain reputation Of intelligence
and ability; and his recent action IN
regard to the Waterloo fasco shows
him 10 be devoid Of undue personal
ambition. and . wise and discreet
counselor. It was therefore Win
pleasure that we saw the suggestion
from influential sources that the NOM
nation alluded to above be rendered
70 Mr.. A., and that We now see In his
own county paper an endorsement OF
the project which will naturally be
taken n IN indication that the CON-
pliment II preferred will be accepted
In the same spirit in which it will be
given. The Allamakee paper, after
noting the fact that change in the
Lieutenant Governorship Is foregone
conclusion, formally announces Mr..
Adams AZ candidate for the nomina-
ton. II refers to him as "a man of
excellent sense, of cool judgment,
fine Oonvenationalist, .. good writer
and q fair orator. He Is active, ener-
getic, positive and eminently execu-
tive.n SAYS, Ibis success in presiding
over SO unwieldly body as the State
Grange, which held convention OF
some 500 or 100 delegates at Des
Moines last winter, shows that be has
Just the ability needed for presiding
officer Of tho Senate; while should
circumstances cause the duties Of Chief
Executive to devolve upon him he has
the requisite ability, and the familiar
ity with public affairs, to perform
them with credit TO himself and sarv-
Ice to the State" And concludes
with the following earnest aud well
considered language:
Mr.. Adams il one Of the most intel.
ligent representatives of the agricul-
tural classes in this State, and one of
the best known and best appreciated
1t Is due to this class that 80 compe-
tent and worthy representative
should be selected as one Of the stand
ard bearers OF the Republican party of
this great agricultural State, particu-
larry now when the farmers are arous-
monopolists. While we urge the
il Q Republican, and because he il in |
every way worthy and competent, we
certainly think it should be no dispar-
agement to him that the farmers Of
the United States have sufficient re-
spect for his ability and sufficient GSg.-
fidence In him ~ representative ~

and its ticket.
We believe no stronger ticket could
be made, or more worthy one in any
sense than this we have indicated.
For these reasons. enforced by the fact
that Allamakee county has never been
honored in the selection OF nominees
for State position, we urge the NOM
ination Of Dudley w. Adams for Lieu
tenant Governor.
