Committee of the opposition in this coun
tv. II has the names of all that Commit
tee appended thereto, yet Mr.. L. B. Mel
son the gentleman from Toledo, claims
that he had nothing to do with 1t as does
also the gentleman frsm Monscar, Mr.
In q Glidden. We are also informed that
Mr. I r. Smith had nothing to do with IL,
!, any shane or manner. We know tina
the member of the Committee from rama
fCity did not compose it,nor did the co"
mun1st who publishes the Independent
emit the same from his system. Who then
II not one of the spe individuals who com
pose tile Democratic County Central Com
mittee, composed tie circular. ASK ye the
Winds. and receive no reply. But some
| BODY is responsible for the eftuslon. we
do not know who is responsible 1or
| the composition of the same, but we 40
I know that it emanatcd in the opposition
camp, and that the hand Of Rudoip
| Reichmann is the only one that appears
on the surface, although we do not DC
y;eve that his is 1.-The hidden hand" when
If unveiled should be of right held re-
sponsible for the ISLANDERS therein con'
| tanned. But t the issues made:
1REPREsENTATIvE.
The principal and most serious oDJcc
| ton made to Mr.. Jaqua, the Republican
candidate for Representative, is that ne
is a prohibitionist, while his opponent
| MI. Malin is opposed to the present liquor
law and in favor of q license law. Here
is the principal issue made by the Demo
crocv in our election this fall, and it mat
tiers not how learnedly the henchnen OF
| The opposition start out in a column OF
their campaign slush through their organs
or how grandly they flap their wings on
| the rostrum in the beginning Of an even
ing's campaign entertainment, in either
case they are sure to arrive early at the
shrine of bacchus, preaching temperance
or personal liberty, according to the kind
of audience. To n class OF people ad-
yocating a license law as the best way to
promote temperance, while to the other
class they advocate a license law because
the present law Is u thrust at the person
al liberty granted our American citizens
under the Constitution. Anything to
win, no matter what, is the motto OF the
opposition.
Under the present law all distilled
liquors may be sold under a license for
Medical, Mechanical, Sacramento, and
Culinary purposes, and any person COM
ing properly recommended by the COM
munity amongst whom he resides may by
application to the Board of Supervisors
secure a license to sell such liquors under
the Statute, while the sale OF native
vines, ale, and beer, are not prohibited
by the law.
Mr.. Jaqua believes in the enforcement
of tie present law, while Mr.. Malin ad-
vocates the repeal thereof, and that q
license law be enacted instead. That Is
to say, according to the doctrine OF Mr.
Malin and the Democratic party with
which he is now training, it is not SUM-
Gent that distilled liquors, such as Bran
dies, Whiskeys, &C., may be lawfully
sold for Medicinal, Mechanical, Culinary
and Sacramento purposes, but we must
have such liquors sold openly as . 6fp-
craze, the same as Ale, VINE, and Beer
is now sold under the present law. Per
hans Mr.. Malin or some of his friends
will deign to inform US when he was con-
verted to the license theory. If we mis-
take not the record of Mr.. Malin shows
that as a member of the Iowa Legislature
he cast his vote in that body of Law ma
kers, in favor of prohibiting the manu-
facture and sale of Ale, Wine, and Beer,
even excluding the sale OF wtnes Tor
M,dieinal and Sacramento purposes. 1t
is also we'll known that up TO the very
date of his nomination he was a strong
prohi6tttonist. What means this sudden
conversion. Is the greed for office so
strong in Mr.. Malin that he will renounce
his life long principles? 1t appears So
But it does not matter much as his point
ical demagogue will surely be defeated
at the polls next Tuesday. There is
very strong reason why Republicans
should vote solid for Jaqua, for Repre-
sentative, viz: At the coming session OF
the Legislature q successor to Judge
Wright is to be elected to represent our
State in the Upper House OF Congress,
and we know Mr.. Jaqua If elected Will
cast his ballot for a Republican Senator
while MI .Malin will vote for q Democrat
if elected.
In view of the power which the De-
mocracy have obtained in our Legisia-
ture, this is by no means a question OF
minor Importance, and it behooves hepuo-
lican Iowa to look well to her laurels n
elect a Republican Legislature winch
in time will elect a Republican United
States Senator.
AUDITOR.
The opposition Central COMMITTEE IN
their circular speaking Of MIR. Wille''
the Republican candidate for Auditor
say "He is capable of performing Me
of the Office" This being conceded
by his opponents We think we can reas.
onably expect that he will also be elected
by a handsome majority, especially when
We fully consider the political dishonesty
his opponent. The lack of moral hon
esty exhibited by MIR. Bowdle in the VIC
,.,;on of b;s nledos to tho pe0ple Of TGmd
COUNTY. We mean this: The convention
which nominated Mr.. Bowdle for the
office of Auditor July 18th, 1873, passed
the following resolution which he, Bowdle,
BY his acceptance of the nomination then
and there fully concurred in and SUBJ
to in letter and spirit. The reso-
reads as follows:
Rssolued, That the Board of Supervisors IN
hiring clerks for the officers Of the County deserve
the rebuke Of an orer-tdred people, and us de-
that ,pAos ~rsr receives said Offices q. tho
aands of tie people shall perform the duties there
Of at the salary fired by !a,o.
Mr.. Bowdle went before the people on
the above resolution, n by reason OF
the private pledges to the same effect
which were made all over the county for
him bv his friends and his own private
pledge in accord with the foregoing reso-
ution succeeded in securing his election
a very small majority. How well and
faithfully has he kept his pledged. DID ne
