did not go to the polls. 1t is conceded by
our opponents, that large majority Of
those who did not vote last fall were re-
publicans. In view Of these facts we
feel it our duty to urge upon every Re
publican of the county the necessity Of
going to the polls next Tuesday. We
feel assured that if the Republican vo-
tiers will turn out, the victory is ours
TO the voters of lama county we would
suggest that when they cast their ballot
next Tuesday, they will not only bear in
mind the principles involved, but that
they will each and every one take into
consideration the individual merits of the
candidates. When you are preparing
your ballot for Congressman remember
that the Hon James Wilson, the Repub-
lican candidate, has been in public life for
years and has made for himself an envia-
bic record as true servant Of the people,
and that in his private char lcter he stands
unimpeachable, while on the other hand
james Wilkinson the Anti Monopoly can
creature known to the people in the en-
tire District All that is vile, filthy and
contemplate enters into the composition
Of his old rotten carcass lie is con-
tcmptible dem gogue and liar in politics,
an imposter in the vicinity of respectable
society, a fraud, and curse upon the
name of man, and wholly unworthy to
wallow in the mire with the grunting
brute He has been guilty Of the most
damnable villainies, not only in this Vi
cnity, but in other places where he used
TO reside. For portion Of his record
read the article in this issue which is de-
voted exclusively to him Full faith and
credit can and ought to be given to the
accusations there made Read it exam
inc into his record as it has been ventila-
ted in the CHEoNICIE during the present
campaign, and we have no fears that any
straight forward upright honorable moral
man who is net 50 IRE JUDGED chat he will
not believe the truth, will vote for such a
consumate loathsome hulk Of humanity
rs this man Wilkinson.
When you pass your eye along down
the ticket and catch the names Of the
candidates for the clerkship of our Courts
bear in mind that Chauncey Stevens IS an
honorable man whose personal character
will bear the closest scrutiny, and at he
is well qualified to fill the position ot

the universal respect of all who know him
at home and abroad. lie has always bsen
true to his political faith, while OF Mr.
Bissell the AntiMonop candidate for the
clerkship, whatever may behis personal
character and ability, (and IN point Of
ability, we do not believe that Mr. Bisscll
is half the equal Of Mr.. Stcvcns) there IS
one thing to be remembered viz--that
Republican or IN Anti Monopoly Demo-
crat until he was informed of his nominal
ton at the hands Of tie Anti Monopoly
convention, In other words this Anti
fence until he received the bait which
that convention gave him.
Next we call your attention to the re
spcctiye candidates for Recorder The
republican candidate Mr. j. b NJ Bisll-
op is Young man Of sterling worth, who
served an honorable term in CO. +. of
the old 2sth Iowa Volunteers, and was
wounded At the bate Of Winchester quite
severely while fighting nobly for his
country He is a graduate of Iowa Col
legc, Grinneil Iowa; he is thorough
scholar and gentleman We pr dict sue
cess for him next Tuesday We know
but little of Mr. Bates the Autobiography
candidate for Recorder We don't know
whether in was he who, while in state
nomination told the Marshal at Tama
City as a reason why he should not be ar
rested that he was Bates the Anti-Monop-
oily candidate for Recorder We say
we don't know whether it was Bates or
not but we suspect it was.
Of the candidates for Supervisor we
simply state, that we believe Captain j.
H. Lauderdalc the republican candidate
will make better Supervisor than E. NJ
Griffith the Anti Monopoly candidate
would Capt Lauderdale served his
country nobly in the Tate unpleasant
Mss and that, too, the very time when
Mr. Griffith had business in England and
was making rapid preparations toleave
this country to avoid Il probable draft
In closing we assert that the Republican
ticket is composed Of good reliable, trust
worthy men, and we believe that the
voters Of Tama County will heartily en-
dorse them next Tuesday
The x-Confederates are delighted with
the new order of the Blue and the Gray
They ought to be. In that organization
the rebel flag and the national colors are
placed upon an equality. Both are to be
borne in procession and used in meetings
of the order. They are entwined like the
colors of England and the United States
on the occasion or a reception to a mem
Der Of the royal family. \ Confederate"
is to carry the stars and stripes. and
Federal" is to bear the stars and bars.
1t will be an inspiring sight to behold
Union soldier ''toting' the rebel flag
around on his shoulders, and we await the
first exhibition with Impotence. The
silly attempt to make the late war drawn
battle, in which both sides lost nothing
and won nothing, is of piece with the
other impudent claims put forth by those
who, being whipped in fair fight, want to
make show of never being whipped at
all Personal friendships between the OPP
posing soldiers of the rebellion are com
and to be encouraged. We
know Of many such, but attempts like this
will only perpetuate bad blood, and show
the weakness of those who engage in
