TuB CANVASS or THE THIRD DISTRICT.
Special Dspateh 10 me Tribune.
McGREaoR, Ia, Oct. a0.-Thc campaign tn
the Third Congressional District OF Iowa pro-
cecds favoranly. Republicans arc confident Of
rcclaning tho district by cfcctlng tho Rcpub-
lican nominee. Tho canvass made thus far ly
tho Republicans is thorough and effective. 7.
". D,1rtliek, Esq, tho Republican nominee, is
making ono Of tue most thorough canyasses
that Inns ever been lnadc III this district. Every
township In every county Is having personal
attcatlon, and everything is working well.
The Republicans arc fully awake to the import
aucc Of thls election. and arc working with
mora determination tl,au they have for years.
The defeat of two years ago Is having salutary
effect In stimulating tho party 70 greater eyer
tions. Tho MINORITY Of Capt. pardIck will DO
larger than TINT OF TIC Hon. 1nh * u pSlla1,o ssnMn
man, Tho Captain Is decidedly tho man for the
people, kind md ecncro,ts to all; any man can
speak to lin with assurance Of receiving

yourE man that has his position to make, he Is

j. II. Griffith, ESD, Of Dubuque, the Demo
cratic nnmtucc, Ia tho centre Of little aristor-
racy at his home. lie has arnnssod a fortune
in the prartice Of tho law, and has retired maln.
Wishes to 60 to congress; not that
o people, NOR our dcyc'opmcnt, as . State.
but attnply as personal eradication: i Is not
crtiDn, as he has wealth, uud BY being elected to
| Congress lie ohtatus prominence that be could
not rot III my other position within ills reach:
He Is using In tho campaign money trcSly and itd
| without sttnt. He travels throu9h tho district
with D. A. slahouey, editor OF the nuoubuc
Telegraph, and oue Or two. other gentlemen Of
tho sarllu character and reputation. THIS troupe
never p.ays but one n!ght at any one place;
their progTa1nMe is always the anne; no ct!ange.
Aiahuney Is for lnllut'on,. and Griffith, n h|s
speeches, tries to bo both hnrd and soft, and
makes miserable failure Of both. No one DC,
n!es but that Griffith as politician, d decided
business. His tliel suit agatnst the Duhuguo
7Ines, for some imagined injury to bis acnslbllt-
ties or reputation, Ia reacting upon him, and ID
condemned by both Democrats and Republic
Tie fact Is. that Griffith has disappointed
everybody. Lie Is not near as heavy as he was
ess,matcl to be by SOME Of Ills Duhuquo
sss. Tho a' o afs cenr sst ks2es e St
po.itty!nn lis SUCCESS thus Tar Ia somewhat H.
different, and In tho end he will provo heavy
burden for the Democracy Of this district to
carry.
