since the PRONUNCIATION Of State
Auditor Russel's letter, declining q
denomination to the position he no"
holds, no other name has been sug
gested for the place which has met
response so generally favorable IN
that which followed Immediately up
on the announcement Of the name o.
b. II. Sherman, Of Benton county
by the Vinton Eagte, from which We
copy the following:
Mr.. B. II. Sherman has been resi-
dent of Iowa nineteen years, and oj
Vinton about fourteen. AT ths
breaking out Of the war he Was en.
gagged in the practice Of law, but ieii
his office and enlisted as n private h
the 18th Iowa Infantry, in Sepienl.
ber, 1861. At the battle of Pitlsbnre
landing he received II severe wound
which seriously crippled him foI
many months. Meanwhile he wa
commissioned Captain Of his compa-
ny, and continued with IL IN The
field, even when he was Disabled
from marching. On account of the
wound he was finally compelled to
resign. On returning nome, Mr.
Sherman was elected County Judge,
serving two terms. AT the expira
ton of that time he was elected Clerk
of the District Court for Bentoh
county. He is now serving his
fourth term In that Office. At hi,
first election In 1865 he received 1855
votes out of total ballot Of 2l45-97a
in 1863, 26Dl votes out ol
37j2-l450 majority; IN 1870 he had
no opponent and received the very
handsome compliment Of 3lOO votes
lacking only l43 of having az many
as both candidates, for the office OF
Secretary Of State. In 1872, when
the tidal wave" swept over the
country, Mr.. Sherman was again \
candidate, receiving 1892 votes out OF
$500 a majority of 1884. Can another
In the State through four successive
elections, make better showing,
tested by the popular vote OF his own
county:
Popularity, however, is not the
main thing needful In the office to
which we have named Mr.. Sherman.
Fitness for the office il The essential ;
and we undertake to say, not that
Mr.. Sherman has no peer in quaiifi-
cations for the office, but that the
people Of Iowa will have TO hunt for
\ long time to find man better fitted
for the positiOn. We have yet 10
hear OF the Judge, presiding In the
Courts OF Benton county, since Dir.
Sherman came into his present ONCE,
who has not held him In high esteem
~ n competent and faithful Oflicer.
His e6Scie,1cy in the Office To which
the people Of Benton county have
elected him, IL the secret or the large
popular vote given him snccessiveiy
at each election after the first.
What Mr.. Sherman has done Tor
the people OF this county, as clerk
Of the courts, he will do for the peO.
ple OF the State. ~ Auditor, should
they see fit tn elect him to that ONCE.
His name will ne before the C0nyeD-
tion mt Des 1fOines, on the first 0l
JuIynext; and we cOnfidentiy believe
the party can do no better thing for
itself than to nominate him nor can
lt do q befter thing for the State, ~
far ~ that UfIicp In concerned. than ~
elect him after he ID nominated.

Homer Curtis, Of Keokuk, brother
of the late General, died last Thurs
day, at the age Of 86 Years.

The Newton Republican has assur.
ance direct from Hon. Frank Camp
bell, that he is not, and will not be q
candidate for Congress. The Demo.
crat of this place, tries to compliment
Mr.. Campbell by saying: "That tak.f
off the track one Of the strongest men
In the District, and one against whom
the railroads would like to vote.
Campbell has been as a Senator per.
feet pizen to Railroad extortion."
This is true enough, but our Demo
cratic friend In Anti Monopoly coat
and hay-seed hair-dressing would be
more charry of his praise If there was
probability of Mr.. Campbell becom-
ing the Republican nominee.

The currency question was by no
means settled by the veto of the
President some three weeks since.
Senate proceedings and press opin-
ions upon the subject will be found
elsewhere In our columns to-day. IL
seems improbable that any bill
which will satisfy the majority In
both Houses will be signed by the
President. There must be conces-
sion upon the part Of both before any
agreement can be reached. The
President must fight it out on his
chosen line or do violence to his re p
utation for flrmness. The Congress
sional majority Is also making rspu-
tation for the same virtue, and the
contest is likely to continue for weeks
yet II The minority stands as Afttt-
iy as Il now indicates, the session
may pass without doing anything.
The fight looks somewhat like that
In our Legislature last winter over
the election OF Speaker, except that
u has three sides instead OF two.

The Indianola Tribune Anti. Mo-
mop, wants the accounts OF all War
rem county officers thoroughly exam
ined, In hopes OF finding further
material for the manufacture OF An
ti- -Monop thunder against the hated
Radicals. BY scratching in the sur
face" a defalcation was discovered
dpon the part Of the Treasurer; and
the Tribune man now inquiries:
"Shall we dig to the bed rock, or
scratch on the surface?" The cute
Clty tells him "if it's hives, slightly
irritate the cuticle, and Use CAM
phor." We should advise Bro. Par
ker, seriously, to make q vigorous
use Of his "Grange working Tools"
the plow and spade, and dig deep
wherever he suspects that Radical
rat has buried any public pIunder,
and never stop digging until he finds
1t, and kills the rat. But before he
expends too much Of his vigor III
digging for Radical wrongs and plum
der, it might be well to go to tho
"bed rock" to ascertain what has be-
come of the State Grange funds.
Then he might find profitable en-
ployment in searching for the cause
of the failures and suspensions of the
"GraDge stores" Let him come
down here and investigate the failure
Of his official brethren to fulfill their
promises Of retrenchment and re-
form. Dig to the bed rock every
time, friend Parker.
