Among the many men mentioned
In connection with tho Republican
candidacy for Governor Of Iowa we
note the following:
G. r. Clarkson of Grundy, Geo. w.
Mccreary of Lee, A. w. Hubbard OF
Woodbury., ID. n. Cody of Dubuque,
Caleb Baldwin Of Pottawottomie, G.
C. <Nourse of Polk, Hiram Price,
VIZ. Penn Clark and Robert Lowry
ofEeott, John Russell Of Jones, Sena-
atos Larrabee of Fayette, Smith OF
LaEs, James f. Wilson of Jefferson,
john III. Gear of Burlington.
There is much very good material
In the above list, and yet the good
aud available men are not all named.
| The choice of the convention will be
| liRgdy to fall UPON one Of the above
| gentlemen, however. Among them
all ZION. Geo. w. McCrary, of Lee,
wonld be our personal choice but for
! the fact that he cannot well be spared
FROM Congress. Hon. james K.
| Wflson is another of the ablest men
uaised. Judges Baldwin and Nourse,
and Hons. Cooley, Price and Lafabee
are well up to the standard in point
Of ability. Mr.. Price could only be
obic tionable on account of his ey-
tronie prohibition views, and the
fact his nomination would be consid-
cred an expression of our party to
make special fight for prohibition,
as Il more important question than
any other. Mr.. Cooley's connection
with the Agricultural College inves-
| tigaSson, and his course as chairman
OF the committee, would prove a
crooked section Of his recorded path,
aud steep for him to climb. Nourse
aud larkson are too near the kasOn-
Palmer battle ground. Judge Bald
win i happily located, and carries rs
much brain as any known man in the
state, besides being woll-known and
popular, and as a pioneer Iowan
thoroughly representative man. He
would be a fitting executive for the
centennial year.
Tie Davenport Gazette closes late
editorial upon the subject with the
following well-considered general
remarks, applicable to the county as
wei State party action:
s1 ntyation j. the next step, and
EthW i more ditiicalt, FOR all can see
that mistake may easily be made
that would cost the Republican party
the Legislature, and consequently
the senator. Hence it behooves our
Republican friends to 20 carefully,
and not allow personal predictions,
or any narrow views Of duty, to
make shipwreck Of the party in Iowa.
This State Is the Republican strong
hold now in the nation, and by all
the considerations which can move
those who love their party, and wish
10 preserve its ascendency, we must
SpA 10 it that record is made this
year that will tell favOrably on the
great contest that is TO follow.

Politics and Prohibition.

"That plan for q National Prohib.
itory party has all the elements nee.
essary to gigantic failure" t" says the
Register, and says truly. But a large
majority Of our honest prohibition
ists-the best people in tho world
are so short-sighted as to think that
If the Republican party will not take
up their radical view Of the question
and make prohibition a hobby and
a leading issue in every political
campaign, in County, State and Ma
ton, the next best thing for them to
do is to withdraw their support from
the Republican party and organize =
Prohibition party. And The result
is not only ignOminious failure to
their own party, but n weakening Of
the Republican party which is friend
~ TO their view, and strengthen
ing Of the Democratic party, which
Is always and radically opposed TO
every thing that is opposed to free
whiskey. If this whole question
could be kept entirely out ofpartizan
politics II would be much better for
the friends Of prohibition and for the
cause. As we'll might the prohibit
tion Of murder or the "social evil"
or any other evil, be made the fan
damental doctrine in the creed Of a
political party. A large majority Of
Republicans in Iowa are opposed 10
a general license law, and would ia-
vor either a prohibitory or a local
option Statute. We believe in total
abstinence and practice 1t ss person
al habit, and advise others 10 think
aud DO likewise, but we do not want
to make total abstinence obligatory
by a general Statute. Such a law
could never be enforced in any COM
munity because it goes to far. Even
such mild Statute as we now have In
this State TO prohibit the sale Of in
toxIcating liquors cannot be enforced
in aii localities. With some slight
and judicious notifications it could
be SO improved a. to answer very
well in most localities. Even as 1t
is it serves good purpose where
there Is a public sentiment to sustain
it. Bat the party which dares in its
platform and on the stamp declare
that law the right thing in perfection
would thereby seal It's own defeat.

Death of w. T.. Boydston.

From The Nebraska Ctiy NcIea, Jttae 5th.
For tho past week, the many friends Of
the late w. l.. Boydston have been dnx-
iously and hopefully watching at his
bedside, IN hopes Of cleaning some stray
hope, however slight, Of his speedy re-
covery. from tho painful disease he WAS
suffering, but last Tuesday, the hope that
had just beeu twiukling, was famed out
by the strong wind Of conviction, that
| bis recovery was hopeless, though 1t was
not until lato last Tuesday evening that
| their convictions proved true, aud tho
spirit Of loving father, kind husband,
| and christian man, took it's flight 20
that bourne from whence no traveller re-
truns.
The funeral services took place Mt tho
Cumberland Presbyterian Church last
Friday morning. The Reys. MIR. Greea,
TAYLOR, Kerr and Presson, officiating.
The body was brought into church by
the Masons of which order ho the deoeas-
ed was q prominent msnbar. Tho church
was densely packed by friends, whose
tears during the service truly testified 10
the bereaved widow and orphans, their
heartfelt sympathy in this their hour OF
dark despair.
The church, az well az tho Whole Chris
tian Geld, feels tho loss of a member,
whose self sacrificing spirit for the cause
Of his Maker, made him most power

sLEAR,s VARIETY.

Six years ago, Nathan Slear, of East
Buffalo township. this county, in pass
ing along his grain field noticed one
head OF q variety of wheat he had never
seen before. He concluded when it was
ripe he would keep that separate from
the rest and examine it closely. When
the time for harvesting came he secured
the head of wheat and was so much
pleased with the grain that he laid it
aside with the intention of planting it
separate the next year and seeing what
it would amount to. The second year
he did so, and raised a small sheaf from
it. The third year he planted it again;
the fourth year also, and the fifth year
lls1D, he planted three acre field, the
increase from that one head. Upon
measuring the amount of grain from
that three acre field, he counted 104
bushels. heaped nd measure; not count
ing the amount in the siftings upon
the barn floor. This year QS75) he has
had very large yield. but it is not all
thrashed yet. Mr.. Slear's wife thinks
the -four made from this wheat is the
best they had in the house for ten years
That wheat is red and moro like the
Lancaster wheat than any other but it
is different from that also. As there is
no name for this excellent variety, some
of his friends have suggested that it be
called after Mr.. Slear himself. Farmers
are quite interest qd in this new kind of
grain. .--LClctSlurJ, fIHl ,!1gradl.
