DELMAR, Iowa, August 3lst 1874
Mr. EDITOR:
After pleasant sojourn in your beau
tiful city for few days and passing the
time pleasantly with our old friends and
acquaintance We left for home on Satur-
day and after ride to Clinton on the c.
& NV. r. r. and then on the Midland
we arrived safely at our thriving little
Railroad city all right side up and found
everything lovely" Business al present
is quite lively here Notwithstanding the de-
preston in the grain market, and it is no
uncommon occurrence for from seven to
ten car loads of grain to be shipped from
this point to the Milwaukee market each
day: in fact, so prominent has the fact
become that Dewitt and Maquoketa buy
crs are shipping ria Delmar to Milwaukee.
While at your beautiful city, we had the
pleasure of meeting our parents together
with many of our near and dear friends
and our visit was pheasant that we were
10th to leave. though remembering that the
nearest and best friends must part. We
are under obligations to our friend Niece,
for favors shown and duly appreciated.
Upon our arrival home we found business
prosperous, our town improving, and in
fact everything moving on in good
shape The few former citizens Of your
place are succeeding finely, and all were
eager and anxious to hear from their old
home. Some changes have taken place
in the business interests Of our city, prom
inent among the rest is the change in the
Junction House. Gen. %. Mccoy, the
wide awake editor of the cNpper-Journd
has purchased an interest in this popu-
lar house in connection with Mr.. Fuller
and under their management it is now
one OF the best managed hotels in the
State and is fast becoming noted among
the travelling community rs the home OF
the way-faring W. E. Roberts, the Chief
Justice" Of our town, a former citizen Of
Chelsea, together with his family are well,
while Chas. Haas the Horse Milliner" for
this section is doing thriving business.
Being somewhat hurried at present we
must close with promise to write again
soon when we hope to have something
of more importance TO impart.
Yours truly

Let US have the Proof.

The opposition organs are just now
making themselves very busy in circula-
ing false reports of fraud and crying cor
ruption in the government and control
of our county. They INCREASINGLY assert
that the public money of Tama County
has been Incorporated to the use OF
Republican office holders, and charge all
manner of cheats upon them. The Press
devotes several columns in the last issue
to such f1imsy charges. Our Toledo neigh
Dor is loud in his denurciations of Repub-
lican misrule in the county. These DEM
agogucs are as INSCRIPTIONS in what
they say through their organs concerning
the affairs Of the county as it is possible
for politically depraved humanity to be-
They come upon the scene with empty
promises and numerous charges of fraud
and ask the citizens Of Tama county to
believe their bald assertions. We want
the proof: If the county has been wronged
or defrauded out of one dollar by Rcpub-
lican rule we ask that Grandpa Chapman
and his powder monkey" and the swill
guzzler of the Toledo Anti Monop organ
produce the proof. These mountcbanks
are loud in their professions of honesty
while they arraign the entire Republican
party before the people on the charge OF
dishonesty Let us have the proof friend $
where Tama County has been defrauded
by single republican official. Give US
no more such reasoning rs you have al
ready advanced; it is not good and the
people will not believe you. We again
assert that Tama County has not lost .
dollar by fraud or theft during the whole
course of republican control of the coun-
ty. We challenge the proof. When we
are properly placed on trial and the evil
dence against us is adduced, we will then
see how the charges will bear dissection.
We ask but an opportunity to investigate
and cannot prove negative. Our oppO-
nents are aware of this and burst not
specify their charges established by q
single spark of evidence. Will an un-
prejudiced mind find verdict Of guilty
on simple charge? Will the democratic
organs continue to ask that the Republi-
can party Of this county be held to ac-
count criminally for their lying accusa-
tons Of fraud and corruption? We would
suggest that they appeal to the Grand
Jury at the next District Court, which
convenes a. Toledo on the third Monday
Of September and have these rascally re-
publicans indicted on the charges made

Democratic victories are the rule in the
South just now. But wherever these are
won upon the basis Of arraying the blacks
and whites antagonistically, theywill prove
OF only temporary benefit to the victors.
Such successes may embolden the Dem
ocrats to cmbody their prejudices against
their former slaves in prosecuting acts
that will unite, strengthen, and concen.
tratc the Republicans throughout the
country, and dissipate the fiattering pros
y ccta Of the national Democracy.

Political Items.

Brick Pomeroy's Democrat is after the
Anti Monopolist Of Iowa City for stealing
its editorials.
TAX Unions" in South G. lima are the
same as white Leagues" in other South
ern States and they both mean kuklux.
''Old foes with new faces" you know.
Bill Stone is stumping Iowa in the name
Of reform" There has been one greater
joke than this prepctrated in the history
of the world, and that was when the devil
went up on the mountain and pretended
that the farms in the valleys were his to
give away.
The black flag of mixed schools, negro
equality, is already fiuttering in the
breeze; they have thrown down the gaunt-
let and dare you to the contest. Up then
with the banner of the white man. Let it
fly from your battlements, and since the
issue has at last been forced upon you let
every true man with awhile skin rally to
his Memphis Appeal
The leading Democratic paper in Miss
ouri in moment Of ungarded frankness
admits that its party is crawling out OF
the brush for the first time in fourteen
years" At the commencement Of the war
upon the Union, it begun to ramble in the
brush, and it has been bushwhacking ever
since. 1t is now crawling out, but it will
be glad to hide itself again before the
elections.
"Boss" Tweed, the distinguished Anti
Monopolist who now sojourns on Black
wells Island is still painting for liberty and
continues the contest for ew trial
Judge Davis has signed a bill Of excep
tons and motion for new trial will be
heard in October If the Boss" succeeds
in gaining his liberty he should take
Greeley's advice and come West There
is good opening for him out here as a
resolution writer for the Anti-Monop par
ty. Stone can't be depended upon for
next year

Iowa with its overlooking grararies of
the largest and best small grain crop it
has ever had and its certain prospect of
as large corn crop, as that of any pre-
vious year in its history, will go to the
head this year It's farmers will receive
more money this fall than those of any
other State in the west, if not in the
Union. Its good crops in this year of
general failure, its uniform escape from
the terrors and ruin Of drouth during the
past few years in which its neighbors on
all sides have been scourged set it for
ward at the very front of all the agricul-
tural States. And the blessings Of plen
teous crops this year will rebound TO its
benefit in many other ways. 1t will at
tract to its farming lands the best part of
all immigration next year. 1t is safe to
say that there will be greater demand
for Iowa lands next year than there has
been for years, and along with it very
naturally an increase Of prices. One Of
the heaviest capitalists Of Chicago has
said to us the present week thatlowa lands
are now more eagerly sought for than
any other, and that there is no trouble in
disposing Of them in the transactions of
trade. They are, he says, the next best
to money, and he adds further that sur
plus capital is already moving itself to-
ward investment in them. He asserts that
the Iowa farmers, and through them the
Iowa business men, will be in the best
condition Of any people in the United
States by the time winter shall have come.
The heaviest demand on Chicago and
Eastern capital just now is for money to
move the Iowa grain crop, which is SO
immense that the railways leading out of
the State are unable to furnish cars
enough to carry it of. Several million
dollars will come into Iowa during the
next month for wheat and oats acne, and
this flow of money will be kept up the
autumn and winter through until the
surplus grain and pork and cattle pro-
duct Of the State shall have found its way
to market. We can safely calculate upon
an immense fall and winter trade in Iowa
this year.-6tAtc Reeister.
