THE MAINE ELECTION.

The smoke has cleared away from
the political conflict of last Monday,
in the State of Maine, and the Repub-
lican victory is even more decisive
than that of year ago. The msjori-
ty for Gov. Dingley over Titcomb,
will exceed that of one year ago by
from two to three thousand. Every
Republican member Of Congress is
elected by increased majorities. The
Legislature is SO overwhelmingly Re-
publican that the opposition will moi
have representation enough for seed
Thus does anti-monopoly fall before
right and correct principles, Just as
clean democracy, or rather, democracy
under its true name did, in the olden
time. And why should it not? Plain
ly there is no reason why party,
whose record is SO accursed that it
wants to bury the past, should succeed
any better under an alias than it did
under its real name. All the opposi-
ton parties, of whatever name, are
none the less the democratic party, be.
cause there is associated with the men
who constituted and led the old de.
mocracy, few office-seekers in tine
Republican party, who were denied
position because unworthy, among
their old associates.

was a Mormon gal up here to Logan.

camped out one night right about here.

months, and thought / was going to

that, for l didn't like to line any
church. l never did belong to any
church nor an engine company in the
States. However, told her finally, as
she crowded me, that I'd swaller Brig
ham, tabernacle and all, for the love Of
her. So we got things about fixed, and
If she hadn't gone too far might have
been Bishop by this time. But she
had an old maid sister, and she wanted
me to marry that old Susan Jane, too
that darned, dried up old Susan
Jane. Emmy says /, 4 can't, and /
won't! So sot my foot down, and
there's where we split. You see the
old man was kind of sickly, and lust
as sure as I'd agree to take Susan Jane,
when he died / would have had to
marry the cid woman, too. l haven't
hunted after a wife since.

Governor Moses, the corrupt cxecu.
tive Of South Carolina, again sought a
nomination last Saturday from the Re-
publican party of that State, but was
sadly beaten. The Hon. d. II. Cham.
berlain is the lucky man. Moses now
should migrate TO Iowa, and join the
Anti Monopoly party of this State he
certainly bears now the ear marks OF
some Of the leaders of that party.
Whether he migrates or not, we will
wager our last chip that he will be
found in the ranks of the opposition
to the Republican party somewhere,
and under some one of the many
names that the opposition bears and
ten chances to one, that inside of a
year he will be candidate for some
place in the reform party.

The Democracy Of Davis county

The Democracy of Davis county
seem to be more hurt at the result of
the Republican Congressional Con-
vention than anybody else. The Re-
publicans of that county, many OF
them had worked hard for the nomi-
nation of General Weaver-they had
expected to win, and all can readily
see that many were disappointed, but
they do not propose to go into the
arms of Democracy because of their
disappointment, no matter how gently
and how sweetly the Democracy may
sympathize with them, and tell them
that they were grievously wronged.--
They have knowledge of the PREACHER.
Gus, cunning character of their old
enemy, and they want none OF their
sympathy-such mourners are not
needed-the hypocrisy of their cant
is too well known. Their hanging on
to the flank of the Republican column
with deceitful lips, condoling the ILL
success of Davis county Republicans,
is not desirable. Such sympathy Re-
publicans feel is curse rather than
blessing. Davis county Republicans
cannot afford to let such mock sympa-
thy lead them to abate an iota of their
zeal for the good cause, or decrease by
a single vote the Republican column in
that county. We have NO such poor
idea of their Republicanism, and we
are greatly mistaken, or they will
teach Tim Walker, of the Democrat, a
lesson at our State election that will
induce him to never again 60 slobber-
ing around in the Republican camp.

Clairvoyance has won one victory.
AT Des Moines, on the 18th of June,
John johnson was murdered. Three
days later the Des Moines Leader pub
lished the result of an interview with
clairvoyant, which, now that the
murderer has been discovered and
the facts in the case elected, turns out
to be startlingly true. The Leader re-
prints its article. and it is certainly a
most remarkable transcript of actual
facts as discovered within the past
fortnight. TO show the improbability
of its all being happy guesswork, the
clairvoyant said that a man-whose
name the clairvoysnt could not give
got into an alteration with johnson !;
that they both were under the influ-
ence of liquor, that the murder oc.
Cured in house that the killing was
unintentional; that others were pres
emit; that the murderer and another
carried the body out, intending to de-
post in the river so that it would be
supposed that he was drowned; that
while on the way the two men became
frightened, thinking that somebody
was coming, and dropped the body in
the street; that an hour afterward,
thinking the man was not dead, but
only stunned, and if so might recover,
and, might bear witness against
them. they returned with Ratchet and
crushed in the dead mans skull in
several places. Every single state
ment of which, with others, circum-
stantial as they are, have been verified
to the letter, while not a solitary state
ment made by the clairvoyant has been
disprOved.

REDUCTION OF TAXES.

Every citizen of Wapello county
should feel to rejoice at our excellent
financial condition. The Board of SUI
pervisors have been able at the present
September session to make reduction
in county taxes Of about one half what
it was last year. The county tax last
year was as follows: County tax four
mills; school one mill; bridge one
mill insane one-half mill; poor farm
one mill; and railroad interest five
mills. This year the county tax is three
and one-half mills; school one mill
bridge one half mill !; insane one. half
mill; poor farm one mill, and no
railroad interest tax. The State tax of
two mills is the same as last year. The
total consolidated State and county
tax last year was fourteen and half
mills, this year it is but eight and
half mills, a reduction of six mills.
This, it will be understood, does not
include road and poll taxes nor the
special taxes levied by school districts
or by the cities or'towns. -.
Our people may we'll feel proud Of
this showing, especially since our
county orders are at par. No county
| in the State can make better showing.
With the splendid market which the
farmers of our county have at their
very doors, and their bountiful crop,
we cannot see why they should not be
abundantly satisfied with their situs-
ton. While our farmers may thue re-
joice, it follows, as matter of course,
that everybody else should feel well
also, as prosperity with the producing
classes necessarily produces prosperity
with all. We are aware that the whoa,
crop at this time is not bringing good
price, but we are confident that in q
little time there will be marked
change for the better in the prices
Wheat is not, however, TIE staple CROP
of our county. Corn is our chief pro-
duction, and with the high prices ru
ling for it, they must reap large re.
turn for their years labor. There
never was q time, we are satisfied,
when the growth of our towns and our
county was better than it now. Pop
ulation and wealth is fast flowing in
among us, and if we do not greatly
mistake the signs of the times, we are
in the beginning of rich season of
prosperity. ,..5

OF the Moulton statement the In.

1
ter-Oeean ofthe 18th inst. says:
Mr.. Moulton gave his second state.
ment to the public yesterday. 1t is a
document with maximum of filth and
minimum of argument too gross to
believe and too indecent to be publish
ed in anything but the Days Doings or
the Street Gazette. No decent paper
can print 1t without expurgation and
elimination, and even then we know
Of no good to flow from its publicity.
We do not believe our readers demand
such trash, and until we can find time
at least to prune it of its worst feat
ures we shall decline to publish it.
Absence from home has prevented
us from bestowing more than glance
upon this last production in the Beech
er-Tilton inroad upon public morals.
We cannot believe that any one was
justified in saying more upon this SUBJ
ject. We have only to say that this
statement, if true, degrades Beecher
to the very lowest strata of hui
man society. The enormity of the
charges preclude our giving credence
10 them, unless testimony in due form
shall thoroughly establish them. We
earnestly hope, and could humbly beg
of the press of the land to deal out not
another iota of this nastiness until at
least court of law shall justify and
establish as truths whatever is an
nounced. We have no hesitation in
saying that no living man can be iusti
fed in giving TO the public such story
as Moulton relates until after judicial
investigation has bestowed the seal of
truth upon it, especially when it is
stoutiy denied by the alleged guilty
parties who have heretofore borne ex-
cellent regulations. If Moulton's
terrible arraignment of Bcccher is true,
and he has for years been permitting
his own wife to belong to his (Becch.
er's) church, and receive from him
the ministrations of the gospel,
and he (Moulton) has been all
the while seeking to screen Beech
er from merited condemnation
has he not been almost in the position
ofparticeps crimai,sis. We assert as
truism, the following that no man can
have knowledge of the terrible crimes
which Moulton alleges against Beech
er, and at the same time permit the
wife of his bosom to remain mem
Der of such minister's church, receiy.
ing,wcekly ministrations from him, I'M
less that man is tse most debased
conceivable and totally
of belief. 1t is
utterly impossible for us to conceive
Of good man, who is husba nd and
father, that will have knowledge of re-
peated high crimes committed by the
Pastor of his wife, and still permit
that wife to seek religious instruction
Of that Pastor. When we find water
contrary to nature running up hill, we
will believe in reversal of moral
principles which would lead decent
man TO thus patronize and screen an
alleged libertine in the pulpit.
