mineral deposits; while region six times
as large as New England is looking to

November Oath, 1873.
Mr.. EDITOR AS my friends consider
that an attempt has been made by the
National Democrat, to place me in wrong
light before the people eff this county, beg
laeve through your columns to say few
words in reply
Having seen In the above named paper
of the 18th ult., a statement "W Risky
didn't elect G. G. David, although we I'M
derstand that vast amount was freely
dispensed for that purpose And also ;
haYing heard that Peck. of the Democrat
and certain individual not noted for his
honesty or varacitv whom Peck sent &c
Highland to work for him on election day
are busy circulating reports to the effect
that used "IV hiskay to influence nv
election" or that | gave free whisky to
those who voted for me.
Knowing the character of the invent
ors and circulators of the calumny, did
not first think it necessary to contradict
their statemente, hut being aware of the
truthfulness of the adage. THAT tn ere
is no liar so great but some will believe
him." ! am in justice to myself and
friends of the town of Highland, induced
to make a statenannt Of the facts.
| did not either before election, or on
cleo ton day. buy or pay for enc glass Of
whiskey or beer TO be used for the pur-
pose of influencing anyone to vote for
me.
l was compelled to stay at the polls all
day to look to my own interests, and
worked by the side off half dozen drunk,
en- supporters of Rowe & Peck, who did
all their condition would allow to defeat

These statements, especially the Last
one, Peck and his hireljng known to be
correct from personal observation.
L herewith return my sincere thanks to
my friends and the intelligent voters Of
highland, and the entire district, for the
endorsement which they gave me, and
OF which | am more proud, than [ would
have been had | been elected. So far be-
hind my ticket as my competitor was.
Yours for the truth and right,

Mr.. EDITOR: The accompanying notices
from the Madison papers, of public de-
bate on Free Trade in the assembly Cham
Der, on the 14th inst, between represen-
tative members Of the two rival Literary
Societies of the State University, the His
torian and the Athenaean, refers to
native of Dojgevlle. R. R. Williams,
most worthy, able and industrious stu
dent, who graduates the coming summer
and whose future PROMISES to be an honor
to his native place. J.T.J
Mr. Williams, opening for the negative,
and made one of the most compact and
logical speeches of the evening. He held
the affirmative to free trade, not a revenue
/ tariff as the question at issue, and forci-
bly, advocated the protective theory He
held that the whole thory of Government
WAS the protecton Of the weak against
the strong The free trade principal would
say to the Government Stop your ap-
propriationsto Universe les & Colleges Let
them alone until the public demand builds
them. Repeal your homestead laws, and
let settlements fellow the law of supply
and demand. -State Journal.
Mr.. R. R. Williams opened the debate
on the part of the negative with one of
the ablest speeches of the evening. After
very effectuallv refuting some he present
ed some very strong and forcible argu-
ments in favor Of the negative. Mr..W S
course of reasoning like the speaker
preceding him was clear and logical, and
was delivered in a manner that made 1t
powerful exponent in favor of protective
tariff. -Madison Democrat.

R@S~ The National Democrat of the
18th inst, states that whisky was
freely used on election day at High
land, in the effort to elect G. G. David
to the Assembly.
Now Peck knows as we'll as we do,
that no candidate Of whatever name or
nature. that ever ran for Office in this
county, who persistently used free
whisky on election day was ever defeat
ell, the thing is impossible. He also
knows that c. c. David nor his friends
ever stopped to such low lived mean
ness.
We see-no other reason for this
miserable attempt to injure one of
Iowa counties most representative
men, than a disposition to manufac-
ture capital against him for future use.
But considering the compliment and
home endorsement that Mr.. David re-
ceived, and when it is fully realized
that the home Of Mr. David is blindly
Democratic, the illnatured shafts of
Brother Peck fall to the ground per-
fectly harmelss, and it is no wonder
that the Democrats fearful as to future
results, it certainly has cause for fear
in the person of G. G, David. Though
the report is entirely false concerning
G. G. David, it was true as regards
Rowe and Peck; two saloons being in
full blast all day long during election
"dispersing free whisky" to defeat G.
G. David.
Whisky didn't elect G: G. David,
but it did elect ". 4. Rowe and w.
