There has been q great deal said
in certain quarters about the "enthu-
siasm, "unanimity,' &C., with which
jackson county instructed its Con.
gressional delegates for Cotton. Here
are some extracts from an account oil
the convention which is furnished
the Maquoketa paper by Republi-
can who was present:
@ An outsider might have
taken it for a postal convention, but
it was not. 1t was simply the unor-
ganized agricultural society Of Jack
son county met in council for the pur-
pose of confering divine honors upon
their much admired Cotton plant, an
exotic from Clinton county, which
yielded SO many fold in old Jackson
in 1872. Maquoketa was
coolly informed that the object of the
meeting was to treat her with supreme
contempt. Whereupon Maqaoke,a
said she guessed she wouldn't vote
until late in the fall. = One
township held his ucus,elected him
self delegation, made out his Gre
dentials and presented them; all of
which was done after the convention
was called to order. For his exten-
sive energy and true Cotton republi-
canism he was made delegate to
the congressional convention. Alto
gether, that one days work has done
more to damage and ruin the repub-
llcan party in this county and district
than all the democrats have done for
wears"

The following extract from A. r.
Cottons speech before the Clinton
County Republican Convention is
pretty rich in view of the fact that,
as little as we know about the inside
working of the Cotton tactics, we
could name more than a dozen men
in Cedar county who received letters
on the Congressional question weeks
ago written by the honorable gentle
man himself and bearing his sign
manuel. This is the way he talks !:

The Rev. Mr.. Parks objected to
eating his picnic dinner at Moro, Cal,
under the American flag, remarking
that ''that rag through which he had
put many bullet hole" disturbed
his enjoyment. On the following
Sunday, as Mr.. Parks took his place
in the pulpit, he found an American
flag hanging from it. He was about
to pull it down, when Mr.. Miller,
who placed it there, after hearing his
unloyal speech at the picnic, quietly
rose and presented pistol, advising
him TO go on with preaching and let
the flag alone. Miller sat on the
front seat with his finger on the trig-
ger, ready for any sllusion derogato-
nv to the flag. At the conclusion of
the sermon Mr.. Miller made motion
that the church had no further use
for the services OF Mr.. Parks. which
was unanimously carried. Mr.. Parks
left Moro. and another minister is
wanted there.

STATE CONVENTION.

3
The proceedings Of the Republican
Convention Of this State, which met
at Des Moines last week "Wednesday.
are published on the first page of this
paper, together with the platform in
full, - adopted. Both challenge our
admiration, The work of the con-
vention was good in itself, and was
remarkably we'll done. A determin-
alton on the part of ell to take calm
counsel and do the right was carried
out to its natural result of harmony,
unanimity, and enthusiasm. Seldom
has State platform been thus adopt
ed without amendment and without
. dissenting voice. Seldom have can
didates for important positions been
agreed upon with so much and so
speedy accord. Ever faithful Iowa!c
says the conservative old Chicago
journal, "The resolutions adopted
by its Republican State Convention
may be adopted as the watch words
Of the Republican party Of the whole
nation. They are wise, patriotic, Just
covering the whole ground Of cur
rent political discussion, and meeting
every issue fairly,squarely ,aud fully"
Of the candidates whose names are
herewith placed with pleasure at the
head of these columns,the State Reg
lister can truly say: "There is not
one obscure or unknown man upon
the ticket. There is upon it neither
2 light weight nor q dead weight
The remark was common after the
adjournment Of the convention that
IT was the strongest ticket which had
ever been chosen in the State. For
1t Is not only superior in the choice
Of strong men and true men, but it
is also strong in that it is SO admir-
ably balanced as to the home popu-
larity and geographical location
OF the different candidates. There is
not single person among the candi-
dates who will not run ahead of his
ticket in his own county, thus reeeiv-
ing the best commendation any man
can have, that of his own neighbors.
and through such home endorse ments
adding TO the more certain success of
the whole ticket. The convention
selected its men not merely for capac-
ity and integrity. Il chose those
who had besides these essential quail
tiles that Of personal and magnetic
men who are trusted by
the people as exceptions among men.
In the case Of all of the candidates is
this assertion true
