IT was announced some time
since, that Ex-Gov. Kirkwood was
among the prospective candidates
for Governor on the Autobiography
ticket. 1t is scarcely necessary to as
sure those familiar with his strong
character and honorable record
that such rumor was without the
slightest foundation. 1t would un-
doubtedly cause the greatest jublla-
ton in the motley camp, to receive
the accession of such man as Gov.
Kirkwood but the very qualities
which would make him a tower OF
strength to the new movement; his
high character, unexceptionable po'
litical record, his practical sagaci.
ty and sound judgment, forbid his
utilization with an organization sc
impracticable, aimless and decep
tive, as the so-called Anti-Monopoly
party of Iowa.

County Officers.

The DEBORAH Republican dis
cusses the general subject Of change
in county offices, with its usual
sound Judgment. 1t says:
"Much has been said in times
past about "barnacles" in office.
Nevertheless the conviction has
been growing upon us that when
the people get faithful servants,
educated to their duties it is the
interest of the people to keep them
in place, rather than take up and
educate others anew;-that what
is policy for q farmer or mechanic
to do with his employees mer-
chant with his clerk, or principal
with his agents. policy in this
respect also. The idea of change
grows out of the idea that county
Offices are, in printing Office par
lance, "phat takes" This is mis-
tax, if responsibility, reliability,
liability to harsh criticism, and in
dependence go for anything. We
speak from experience when we say
that there is no county Office worth
having to the man who has a living
occupation that by industry and APP
plication can be made to grow more
lucrative"

The Autobiography State Conven-
ton.

The State Convention Of the So
called Autobiography party, con-
vcned at Des Moines, on We'd
nesday, and in respect to num-
bers aud enthusiasm, was a
flat failure. Just thirty-four out of
the one-hundred counties of Iowa
were represented, and these by a
few delegates. The composition of
the convention appears to have been
largely Democratic, and its machin-
cry manipulated by such model ere
formers" as John p. Irish, Chair
man of the State Democratic Com
mittee; T. O. Walker, a political
dead-beat and disciple of Henry
Clay Dean; Samuel Sinnett, a Mus
catine copperhead; Ed. Campbell,
Porte WEIGH, J. B. Grinnell, &c.
The nominations are as follows:
For Governor, J. G. Vale, of Van
Buren,, State Senator and a Repub-
llcan. For Lieutenant Governor,
Fred O'Donnell, Representative
from Dubuque county and a Demo-
crat. For Supreme Judge, B. J.
Hall, of Burlington, also a member
OF the Legislature and a Democrat.
For Superintendent of Public In
struction, D. w. Pringle, of Web
ster county, Republican that the
party can well spare, if all that is
said of him is true.
The resolutions contain some
good things, copied from the Re-
publican platform, and some bun
KUN peculiar to the new party.
We will publish them entire next
week.
