EDITOR TINES: Last Saturday vas big

shape Of = grand mass meeting and pole.
raising. The heavy rain of the previous
evening cooled the air and laid the dust, 20
that the day was all that could be deaired.
At an early hour the people began to gath.
er, and by noon the town seemed to be alive
With people, gentlemen and ladies. At
least one thousand people were present. At
10 O'Clock A. NJ. the pole raised and the star
spangied banner flung to the breeze amid
the deafening cheers Of the multitude. At
ii A. N. the delegation from Oskaloosa,
headed by the band, came to town, and
were escorted through the principal streets
BY the Hayes and Wheeler Club of this
place; after which all adjourned for din
ner.
A: l:S0 r. n the vast crowd assembled
under . large pavilion prepared for the oc-
casion, and listened 10 some very able and
interesting speeches by Col. w. W. Guthrie,
Capt. J. B. johnson, and others. All seem-
ed to be we'll pleased with themselves, and
ali the Proceedings, except few old fossil
lied Democrats that were present, Who an
peared very restless and uneasy. While
the speakers we're detailing the past history
OF the Democratic party, and showing the
hypocrisy Of a party with such . record,
to be the party Of reform, it looks
to me like Satan trying to rebuke sin. u

GETTING AT THE ROT OF IT.

The Philadelphia Times (Democratic),
notes the fact that the Presidential canvass
is unusually dull this summer, and accounts
for the facts "a follows:
In spite OF the best efforts Of the organs,
the canvass drags painfully. The hot
weather is chargeable with part Of the
dullness, but not all for usually, in Presi-
Dental year, We are in high excitement be-
fore this time. The fact appears to be that
the country waits for the Democratic party,
TO see what it is going to do. But the
Democratic party waits for Governor Hen
bricks, to zee what he is going to do, while
Governor Hendricks waits for the House
Of Representatives, and the House of Rep
resen,atives waits for the committee on
banking and currency, and the committee
on banking and currency waits for Mr..
Scott Wike. As far as we can make out,
the universe just sow revolves about this
hitherto neutrality-suspicious. from Illinois

sumption act, but is supposed to be open to

TIE ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL

The sacrifice of Custer has had an effecl
on Congress, and the Conference Commit
tee have agreed upon an appropriation oI
Se6,OO0,O 900 for the army during the
present year. The House proposed reduc.
tion of 5000 men, and placed the estimate
At S24 100000. As il stands now, all por.
tions of the House bill providing for the
reduction of the strength of the army or Of
the pay of officers, or for q reorganization
of the army, are stricken from the House
bill. and are to be referred to commission,
to be composed OF two high officers of the
army, two Senators and two REPRESENTATIVES,
who are to give them careful consideration,
and report on the first day of the next ses-
sion OF Congress. 1t took very co-tly il

MIENEAPoLIs, NAN, July 20, 1876.
Our Primary Elections have just closed
after a very exciting contest. The friends
Of W. W. Guthrie, for Congress, were well
organized and made determined fight,
but the verdict of our people is in favor OF
the denomination OF Hon. w. A. Phillips.
Enough of the Townships have been heard
from to insure to Col. Phillips more than
three-fourths of the delegates to the County
Convention, and consequently a straight
delegation TO Abilene.
Ottawa is one Of the Western counties,
heretofore claimed by the friends Of ". W.
Guthrie as certain to support him, but our
people prefer man in whose hands they
know their interests can be safely trusted
and who will not neglect them, even 10

RATHER STRANGE.

The New York Tribune says that the an
nouncement of the President that the ap.
preparations of the river and harbor bill
will be useless 30 late in the season, and
may be as we'll postponed until the next
session, and that If passed by the Senate be
will veto the bill, "will gain the country a
sum almost equal to the whole tax levied
in this State New York. for State pur.
poses" And the Inter- Ocean finds occasion
for surprise in the fact that the Tribune says
this without informing the country that
the President is a corruptionist or tina,
"Grantism must be unloaded" to save the
Republican party from defeat.

4 Lack Of Young Men At the Wste ring
Places.
lfrorn = Newport Letter |

We notice but few manageable young
men here this summer, compared with the
large number of single ladies who are
anxiOusly awaiting 'coming events" tha,
cast their shadows before them. The rea-
sons are obvious. The young men cannot
afford to visit Newport and entertain their
lady friends in the manner which has been
their custom in years past, or in the way
in which their parents have been in the
habit Of doing. Hence the young men re-
main away, or seek some secluded nook.
where fashion and its attendant follies are
not among the things most to be desired.
The young men cannot afford to do a thew
have been doing, save those Who have
handsome incomes or fortunes at their cum
mand, and, consequently, reform is need
ed, and the young ladies will do we'll to set
the example. Until then, there will be a
scarcity of young men At Nespou, a. we'll

doubs bot what the ladies can see that a
relorm il needed, and it remains for them
to Be lss exacting in their demands upoo
