process, the good results of which
are every day becoming more appar-
ent. That many good men left the
party, is true. Few went out with
whom we were not reluctant to part.
Many of them honestly thought the
party would not be able to rally in
sufficient force and determination to
successfully combat the evils within,
and gave up the effort and went
over to the help of what they sup
posed to be new and better party.
They find there now the very men
who caused the greatest
amount of mischief in the Republi-
can fold, and who went out with
very different and altogether selfish
motives. The black sheep of both
the old parties are generally found
in the new organization. They are
there with the hope of spoils, and
their leaving has made the band
stronger because in the aggregate
purer. The bad men in any party
are the few, and the greater the con-
troll given them, the sooner will
they bring disgrace upon the mass.
The men who are devoid of principle
the corrupt rule-or-ruin men,
ore ever ready when disappointed in
one party to flee to another which
promises them even temporary pre-.
ferment. Those who will not give
up principle for place, power and
spoils, will not change so easily, as a
rule. The man who will stick to the
right, though he be left hopelessly
alone is not the average man who
has gone over from either of the old
parties to the new. There is much to
admire in the Democrats Of Iowa
who were born Democrats, who will
die Democrats, though their fellows
90 in herds after strange anti-monop-
oly gods. We may believe them in
error, but cannot question the hon
esty of the men who will thus abide
almost alone by the principles and
the name they love. They are the
men to whom the wanderers will
return after the novelty OF anti
monopoly service has worn Off and
its husks become unpalatabse. That
time is no farther away than the
year 1876. ...
The doors Of the Republican fold
are yet open. The house has beer
renovated in the absence Of those o
our friends who went out picnlcint
with the anti-monops last year. Now
they are returning. They tell US
they have had a jolly time, but DOM
relish husks and have come back tc
stay. They have no fancy for "Stone
SOUP" They have determined moi
to winter again in tents in the anti
monop camp. They asked for bread
and received Stone.

Capt. Blain, in grange political
convention in this county last fall,
said: at will be better for the man
who opposes us If milestone were
hanged about his neck" The Stone
is now hanged about the neeks OF the
Anti-Monops, and struggle as they
will, their party must go down with
its load. The sea is rough, and they
already realize that their strength is
falling.

Our District Nominees.

For Congress, E. S. Sampson, OF
Keokuk county. No man in this
District, in either party, holds more
fully or firmly the confidence of the
people than does Hon. e. S. Samp-
son, our present District Judge. He
is nominated for position which he
has not sought. During the Conven-
ton he was quietly attending to his
duties on the Bench at Fairfield, and
did not know that his name would
be used; had indeed repeatedly ex-
pressed wish that it should not be.
The office sought the man. In the
case of his opponent the man sought
the office, and was in the convention
industriously at work for the nomi-
nation. The Democrat of this place
can only say of him: A good
Judge, clever gentleman F.; but not
the man this District needs to repre-
sent it in Congress. Our readers all
know the Judge, therefore it is not
necessary to further speak of him."
The same authority admits that
Judge II. S. Winslow, of Newton,
our nominee for District Judge
against Mr.. Anderson, is "good
! lawyer, and one of the ablest law
yers to be found at the bar" cut
horrible. he is said to have once
been employed by the Rock Island
Railroad in some case-probably to
bring the notorious train robbers, or
the "three-card monte men," or
some mail or express robbers to JUS
tice, and "was never known to take
a case on behalf of citizen'-(th
robbers and gamblers are citizens)
against railroad. 1t would be well
for Mr.. Anderson'spo political prospects
if he had never taken ga case in be-
half of citizen against railroad" !"
But we are disposed to let the people
choose their man for the Bench with
out having paraded before them in
print the personal foibles of Mr.. An
derson, or bestowing upon Mr.. Wins
low any praise beyond that the DEM
ocrat has voluntarily given him. II
Judge Winslow is not a Republican
as the Democrat infers, then it is
hurling its shafts at q Democrat or
an Anti-Monopolist, in either case a
member Of its own party-or he is
not partizap, and hence a better
man in that regard for Judge than
Mr.. Anderson, who has always been
q violent party man. If the opposi-
tion choose to throw down the glove
and wage personal warfare for the
Judgeship, we shall be forced to ac-
cept the challenge. In that case Mr..
Anderson and his friends will be
compelled to listen to some very un-
pleasant things. Aside from all par
ty considerations, Judge Winslow is
decidedly our choice between the
two nominees, and we shall hence
give him our cordial support.
Geo. w. Laffcrty, of Oskaloosa,
was nominated by our convention
for Prosecuting Attorney, without
opposition. He is a genial, courteous
gentleman, and as lawyer stands
almost at the head of the OskaloOsa
Bar among such able lawyers as See
vers, Smith, Cults and Crookham.
In point Of experience, ability and
reputation, he is greatly Superior to
Mr.. Anderson, of Washington, his
opponent.
The names of Messrs. Sampson,
Winslow and Lafferty are to-day
placed at the head of this page as Il
fit accompaniment to our excellent
State ticket.

The ninth resolution in the Re-
publican State platform closes with
this declaration:
We commend the position Of the
party in instituting investigation Of
corruption in Office, sparing therein
neither friends nor foes"
The acts Of the party have for
years been in keeping with this
plain and emphatic utterance; and
this gives us double assurance that it
is no unmeaning expression. 1t is
trne, and to be regretted, that the
party has not always been able to
bring the swift and merited punish
ment it has desired upon its official
offenders, simply because the party
cannot make up verdictS for juries
ard legal decisions for judges. The
party can by no just reasoning be
held responsible for the failures OF
the iuries to indict and convict, nor
for the failures of the courts in any
case to bring justice upon those
whom the party and the people may
believe to be guilty of wrong doing
in office, unless the party can be
proven an alder or abettor in the
failure. The party has condemned
without stint State Treas. Rankin's
embezzlement, for instance, and has
demanded his punishment at the
earliest possible day aud in the Sc
verest manner that the law will JUS
tify. Justice seems slow; but shall
we say that jnries and Judges are
corrupt because they do not decide
as you or l think they should. They
have heard the evidence, and act
under oath. We have formed our
opinions without the aid Of the
sworn testimony. Let US be careful
that in cOndemning them we do not
condemn ourselves by the assump-
ton that we are wiser or more hon
est than they.
When it can be shown that the
party has endorsed official wrong by
upholding or shielding the official,
charge it upon the party. If the
party re-elects an official defaulter,
embezzler, or other bad man, after
his guilt has been fairly shown,
charge that upon the party. If the
wrongs have all been in one party,
let that party carry all the blame; If
not, divide the censure.
No other party in the United
States has ever been so vigilant in
watching the officials it has chosen,
or so quick to investigate and punish
official misdeIneanors, or go deter
mined and successful in putting out
bad men, as has the Republican
party. This characteristic still
clings to the party, and always will
cling to il until the elements OF
which the party is composed are
materially changed. The party has
of late passed through the fire. Its
numbers have been somewhat re-
duced; it has been scourged and
chastened, and has learned some les
sons whicIl in the days of its appar-
ent highest prosperity and strength
it was not in the humor to heed. 1t
had warnings but listened not to
them AS 1T has now learned to do.
Last years exodus from the party
fold seemed to weaken, but hss, IN
reality, as We verify believe,

the ladies were assembled by three O'Clock. and &C.
