DANA.

When the Senate of the United States
rejected RICHARD II. DANA as Minister
to England, we said amen, from what we
then knew of the man, but after hearing
him make a most egregious ass OF himself
in the National Convention at Cincinnati
last week, we feel more than ever like
patting that Senate on the back. Dana
is decidedly what Ben Butler calls him,
"a blue-blood;" dapper little fellow, who
must be dressed just so, or he could not
appear in public; whose left hand must
support the tails OF his swallow-tail coat,
just so, or he has not his natural attitude.
A man whose views are as narrow con-
tracted as his little body, and who could
not be elected town constable in any
Western precinct, unless he kept himself
hidden from view. He was a Bristow
man and used the threat to the Conven-
ton, that his State could not be carried by
any other man. Bob. Ingersoll followed
him, nominating Blaine, and used him up
so completely by one or two pleasant al
lusions, ito be found in the speech) that
the "late minister to England" as a color
ed delegate called him, was completely
squelched.

JUDICIAL CONVENTION.

The Judicial Convention for the Sixth
District met at Oskaloosa, last Friday,
10th inst, and organized by calling A. R.
Dewey of Washington to the chair, and
electing F. G. Barker, of the Knoxville
Journal, Secretary. The temporary Or
ganization was made permanent, and there
being no other candidates, Hon. L. G.
Blanchard, the present incumbent was re-
nominated by acclamation. The Judge
was called for and came forward and
made a short speech, thanking the con-
vention for the honor conferred in this,
his third nomination. The Judge is well
known to our people, and needs no words
of commentator at our hands. He will
be triumphantly elected.

Why he Would not die.

A brother editor who was invited out
to deadly combat by an offended indi-
vidual, gives the following sufficient rea-
sons for declining the invitation to be
shot at:
We would not die in spring time, when
young chickens and green peas are ripe.
We would not die in summer when June
roses are in full bloom when string beans
and watermelons toss their giant arms
and plumed heads upon the plain, and
airyoung damsel hands bedeck our Italian
marble mantel (which is plain pine pun
cheon) with tasteful punches of geranium,
huneysuckle, catnip, dogfennel and other
sweet-scented floral vegetables. We
would not die in autumn when the woods
are all afame with gorgeous tints from
heavens own royal dye works; when
crimson mods to scarlet, and orange and
Bismarck wave courtly salutation to Sol
ferino, London-smoke and pure pale
opaline green; when gold comes down in
showers from every forest bough, and the
heavens are of translucent lapislazult; and
when venison steaks put in their first ap-
pearance, as the savory fore-runners of
sausage and roast goose. We would not
die in winter, when the long ice-diamonds
hang rainbow-fashing jewels, in all ma
lures ears, and the cleaning skates need
strapping on each ethereal darling's dain-
ty pedals; when the wild winds, buttoned
up their Christmas overcoats, come whist
ling their merry roundelays under the
caves, and oyster stews exhale their fra
grant incense from CHEEKY, festal boards.
Nay, nay, verify. We are in no hurry to
die at all in anv season

STAND BY YOUR COLORS.

The National Republican ticket is be-
fore you, and the declaration of priDci-
Piles upon which its candidates stand
emits no uncertain sound. The great
need and responsibility of the hour is
deeply felt on every hand, and all feel
that a more important contest was never
before the American people. In 1860,
we entered the contest as minority, offer
ing an untried and officially unknown par
ty for the peoples suffrage. Slavery,
treason and corruption were opposed to
it, and spreading our banner to the breeze,
with Freedom, Loyalty and Union inscrib-
ed on every fold, we found place in the
hearts of the American people that the
sixteen years of ascendancy, has only
cemented the closer. The contest this
year has been narrowed down to almost
the same issues that were contended for,
and between the same men who fought
the fight of 1850, and again that of '6l-
'65. One years work of a Confederate
House of Representatives, ha been sufi-
cient to warn the people that the very re-
suits won by four years of desperate war
fare for nations life, are in danger, and
that the Democratic party and the allies
that sought to disrupt the country in
ls6l-'65, are just as eager for that end,
just as reasonable, just as disloyal as
they were when they followed the stars
and bars upon Southern battle-felds.
There is no use in Disgusting plain truths;
no use in attempting to deny the facts
that crop out whenever a Confederate
member Of Congress opens his mouth.
The contest then in the political arena,
will be, upon the one side TO save and the
other to destroy the great results won by
the war and the oceans of blood it shed.
The fight will not be on what men shall
be elected, only as these men represent
principle. The Republican party is con-
tending as in 1860, for freedom for all,
north and south For equal rights to ali
men, white or black, while the Democra-
cy only seeks plan by which the black
man of the South may be disfranchised,
or compelled to vote the Democratic tick
ct. The Republican party attempts to
bolster up and preserve the National
credit, by paying its debts as soon as
possible, while large majority of the
Democracy are in favor of repudiating
the whole National debt, or what is equal
ly bad, assuming the untold millions of
rebel debt, and paying off the cords of reb-
el bonds. The intelligent voter ought not
long to hesitate between these two parties,
and we feel be will not. Our candidates,
HAYES and WHEELER, are both as honest,
upright, pure and free from guile, as any
men in the land, and should command
full party vote.

THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEES.

Gen. Rutherford B. Hayes, for Presi-
dent, is Republican of the radical school,
one whose fealty to the party has never
wavered, and who has stood by its flag
through a hundred conflicts. He was
formerly lawyer in Cincinnati, and was
one of the first to enlist when duty called.
He was made Major of the 23d Ohio,
and for his gallantry and recognized abili-
ty he was promoted through the grada-
tions, to Major General. After the war
closed he was elected to Congress, serv-
ing two terms, when he was nom mated
for Governor, beating that popular Dem
ocrat Allen g. Thurman by handsome
majority. When his term was out he
was reelected over Geo. III. Pendleton.
At the end of four years he declined re-
nomination, and Gov Noyes was put on
the ticket, and defeated by Bill Allen.
Two years later the Republicans, by accla-
nation placed Gov. Hayes again at the head
of the ticket, and he defeated Bill Allen,
the most popular Democrat in Ohio, by
5000 majority. So that he has successfully
defeated Thurman, Pendleton and Allen,
and he will this year defeat any man the
Democracy may put up at the st. Louis
Convention. He is about "a years old.
WILLIAM A. WHEELER for Vice Presi-
ident is member of Congress from the
st. Lawrence district, New York, and is
serving his fourth consecutive term, hav-
ing previously served in both houses of
the New York Legislature, and was Presi-
dent of the New York Constitutional Con-
vention in 1867. He is about 55 years
of age, and is recognized by every one as
one of the strongest men in Congress,
and one of the most popular in New York
He is author of the famous "Wheeler
compromise" that brought order out of
chaos in Louisiana.
The ticket is as strong as any that
could possibly be nominated. Both men
are pure, honest, and upright; men about
whom no taint of corruption can cling,
and at whom no such charge has ever
been hurled Both are immensely popu-
lar at home, and their homes are each in
doubtful tates,-States that Republicans
must carry,-the joint electoral vote of
those States being 81, and both are secur-
ed beyond doubt by the nominations.
1t is ticket that any man can support,
and feel that rings, cliques and corrupt
alliances can have no abiding place where
they hold forth. Iowa sends forth her
greeting loud, long and hearty, with her
flag nailed to the masthead, and the de-
termination to be the banner State in the
Union, if it can be done by giving 10000
majority for HAYES and WHEELER.

BOB. INGERSOLL.

1t was deserved compliment to the
West. that Hon. ROBERT j. INGERsoLL
of Illinois, was selected by MIR. Blaine's
friends to present his name to the Cincin-
natl Convention. That speech is before
you, but no idea of the grand oratory, the
magnetic inspiration of the occasion can
be drawn from the perusal Of that speech
in print 1t reads well, but it lacks every
thing but words to make it the real speech
as it was delivered. When Ingersoll took
the stand, the cheering fairly raised the
roof, and from the first sentence he utter
ed until his final bow, he held that i'm
mense crowd, in the palm of his hand as
it were, enchained by his mighty eloquence.
1t was grand, it was overwhelming, and
can never be appreciated at its full force,
except by those who heard it. Words are
SO tame in describing it that they fall fiat
upon the ear. At every mention of his
champions name, the cheering continued
for minutes, and that in house packed
for Bristow. And when he said that
Blaine was "the man who tore from the
"throat of treason, the tongue of slander;
''the man who snatched the mask of
N
democracy from the hideous face of
rebellion" nearly the whole house arose
and cheered like mad. Many of Blaine's
opposers were carried away by the power
of Bob Ingersoll's eloquence, and the old
blue-bloods of Massachusetts, and other
New England States, sat entranced, awed,
surprised into silence that such giant
had sprung up before them, hailing from
the broad prairies of the mighty west,
where blue,blood and aristocracy are at a
discount in the presence of bluff, honest
hospitality; and the characteristics of
each section is shown in the representa-
tive men they sent to Cincinnati. 1nger,
soils speech was the topic of conversation

OHIO POLITICS.

Since the nomination of Gov. Hayes
for the Presidency, there has been con-
siderable discussion among our Buckeyes,
as to his past, and also regarding the
politics Of Ohio relative to others As
many of our friends are in error, we give
the facts as follows: In 1864, Ruther-
ford B. Hayes was elected to Congress
over Joseph c. Butler, from the Second
Ohio district, composed of part of Ham
ilton county, by majority of 3,0es. He
took his seat March 4th, 1865. In the
fall of 1866 Hayes was reelected, beating
Theodore Cook 2,558. Hayes succeeded
assDemocrat In 1867 Hayes was nomina-
ted for Governor and defeated Allen G.
Thurman by 2,9s3 majority. In 1869
he was re-nominated and defeated George
H. Pendleton by a majority of 1913.
In 1871, Hayes declined denomination,
and Edward F. Noyes was the Republican
candidate and defeated George w. Nc
Cook and Prohibition candidate, receiv-
ing majority over all of 16,Os4. In
1873 Noyes was re-nominated and de-
feated by Bill Allen, the latter receiving
majority of sl7. Last year ls75)
Gov. Hayes was re-nominated, and de-
feated Bill Allen by a majority of
5544. Gov. Hayes was a candidate for
Congress in the I'd district, in 1872, and
defeated by H. B. Banning Liberal, by a
majority Of 1902.

THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES

The Republican Primaries passed
off quietly on Saturday last, and the
ticket nominated will be found at the
head of the I'd page. In town the
election was conducted without much
excitement. Iu the evening, however,
little war Of words took place be-
tween couple of our citizens, but
nothing came of it. We have heard
of no trouble or excitement in other
districts. The only Office for which
there was any contest was that of
Assembly, and Mr.. Agnew secured
that by fair majority. We present
our ticket tu the voters of the county,
confident that it will be fully supper
ted and elected. So mote it be. The
following is the official vote:
