The mongrcl opposition which received
sailing orders sometime ago unGcr the
name Of Anti Monopoly, made clearance
from the ofling of popular opinion On .ne
18th inst, and are now en- roWe TOT INC
head waters Of Salt river. II IS amusing
to notice the haggard looks OF the sore
head republican element that are IN .ne
boss. and it is equally amusing 70 notice
Tho aelf.satisfied air of the Democrats
over the defeat, and to hear their 4 told
vow 80" on the corners. Our nclghbors Q.
the lama Press take the defeat rather
conposedly, judging from the outward
show they make, while they crow over the
recent Democratic victories in Ohio, and
Indiana. The communist Of the Indepcn-
dent dies hard. He puts on an air Of in
iured innocence, and says who is worse
used up than 1; but won't whine about
it, when he is whining all the time. He
says, How long the mass of intelligent
voters in Iowa will continue to have the
wool pulled over their eyes by foxy pol
iticians, remains to be secn," and in an
other part Of his paper we find him hur-
raining for the Democratic victories in
Ohio, and Indiana. Stop neighbor. The
voters Of Iowa would not let you and
your clan pull the wool over their eyes.
They saw through the transparency OF
your Anti Monopoly cover, and knowing
their true friends the majority stuck BY
the Republican party. None used greater
effort to herald the inauguration OF what
YOU were pleased to call new party and
the death of the Democracy than you
did. Now you find your consolation IN,
and crow over Democratic victories IN
other States. Our belief is that at the next
political canvass you will be sailing under
the flag of Democracy or else you viii
have repentcd from your evil course, and
i,umbly come into the Republican fold,
1t is such rs you that have permitted
yourselves to officiate as the tools OF
'foxy politicians. Republicans deny the
silly aspersion when applied to them.
Their course demonstrates the fallacy OF
the accusation The Democracy under
cover of Anti Monopoly offered their pro.
lection to the farmers. II was the pro-
lection of the vulturc to the lamb, and
was successfully refused and resisted at
the polls. We believe that judicious
nominations will always insure the sue
cess of the Republican party in the State
of Iowa, and Tama County, SO long as
the principles of the party as heretofore
advocated are lived up to.

Of the 6quire's course in the Council to
the voters - reason why they ought to
vote AGAINST him. Some Of these indi-
yiduals who circulated those tickets were
20 lacking In principle that they told the

regular, straight, Republican Ticket.

but they defeated Fisher. They regard
it as a Democratic victory, and crow
about it on the streets, and in their Organ.
Our Republican friends who assisted in
this defeat must listen to the rejoicing
Of the Johnnies over this Waterloo over
Fisher. We wondered that the cannon
was not hauled out and fired in honor Of
the victory. The organ says 1.-The ring
was broken" We deny the insinuation
that there was a ring. The Squire was
fairly and honestly nominated in open
Caucus. He was the regular nominee,
and deserving of support, except as our

A New Way to get Old Debts.

In Chicago, insurance agents draw poll
cics. In Lexington, KY, they draw pis-
tolls. So the partner Of Lexington bank
rupt has discovered The bankrupt owed
two insurance men $40. His assets fail
ed to pan out well, and the $40 had to be

State Of the Bloody Ground" Now the

Autobiography and the Iowa Democracy
Divorced.

On Tuesday, October 18th the Demo-
Gratis Of Iowa closed their engagement with
the Anti Monopoly Troupe, and on We'd
nesday October 14th entered into business
on their own account
Why such an agreement was entered in
to; why eighty thousand Democrats
should consent to surrender themselves to
few hundred disseminated Republicans
and 60 into canvass on the basis of a
division of the spoils, is something that
we could never endorse or comprehend.
But they did it and the result is shown in
the election return which we publish.
The Democrat opposed such coalition,
but large majority of its friends were
carried away with the idea that the Re-
publican party could be broken up in that
way. and because we could do no better.
The Democrat accepted anti Monopoly"
for two campaigns. But we have had
enough of it; the election returns vindi-
cate our judgment and indicate to US the
course we shall. in the future pursue.
Anti Monopoly' is dead cock; it has
fought its last battle, and only the trump
of Gabriel could awaken it to resurrec-
ton. 1t has failed, miserably failed, of
its object lost even the small honors won
in 1873, and to-day there is none SO poor
as to do reverence to its memory.
In such q state of affairs, the duty of the
Democratic party is plain Its constituted
representatives are still clothed with all
their original power and the masses de-
mand an immediate and thorough rcor-
ganization Of the only party which can
meet the Republicans in contest for
mastery in National arena.
The masses of the party are eager for
the reorganization; they deplore the fact
that the Anti Monopoly ticket was unsec-
cessful and at the same time hail the 18th
Of October as u day Of Emancipation, the
events Of which give them freedom for ac-
ton in field where they will feel at
home
The Democrats of Iowa are among the
most uncompromising Democrats in the
Union. They have encountered the per-
secutions of an insolent majority, but have
the Fathers; yet for two years they have
been cut OFT from the sympathy Of Demo
Gratis in other States and forced to wear a
garb which neither fit them well, or was
at all comfortable. Now the day of eman-
cipation has come and henceforth the
Democrats Of Iowa stand in close alliance
with their victorious brethren of Ohio and
Indiana, and their triumphs are ours and
