President Grant in a private converse.
ton recently, said the South shall have a
fair vote, if in the power of the executive
to give it. That is the kind of talk we
want to hear. All we are ask for South
ern Republicans, is the same rights we
enjoy in the North, the right to vote their
own true sentiments, without being driven
away from the polls at the mouth of re.
volver. If the executive cannot give them
this assurance of safety and protection,
then it is time to know why, and if the
States are in rebellion, let us put stop
to the thing as we did once before. Sew
eral States in the South are really Repub.
lican, though with the reign of terror
now carried on by Kukluk, we can hardly
hope to carry but one, and that is South
Carolina, where the negro element is in
the ascendancy. Mississippi, Louisiana,
Arkansas and Florida would all give Re-
publican majorities if an honest vote
could be had. Let us have it.

HON. RUSH CLARK.

The Fifth Congressional District did
itself honor, by nominating for its stand
ard bearer, Hon. RUSH CLARK, of Iowa
City, as announced in our columns last
week. Mr.. Clark is one of those earnest,
active, radical Republicans, whom the
people are not willing to leave at home,
when there are important trusts to FIJI.
He has had many honors conferred upon
him in being reelected to the Legislature,
once Speaker of the House, and in his
present nomination, and has never had a
position that he did not in turn honor,
and so it will be when elected to Con-
gress, as he will be, by almost any sized
majority he may desire, from 5000 up
wards. He will be one of the strongest
men in Iowa's next delegation.

TOTE FAIR, BOYS.

The Mt. Pleasant Free Press has been
Independent or Liberal for some years
past, and in the main has been pretty fair
in politics, but it contains a reflection on
Judge Sewers in recent issue, that is
unjust, unfair, and untrue, and if Ed Van
Cise is the fair editor we take him for, he
will make the correction. The Press af-
ter complimenting all the candidates on
the Republican State ticket says:
Judge Sewers and Rothrock, candidates for
the Supreme Bench, are Gov. Kirkwood's ap-
pointees and are now serving in the places for
which they have been nominated. Though dp-
pointed in pursuance Of a bargain Uiui their
friends uherebU Cor. KtrhUOOd ICds made SEND
tor, they are men of large ability and adorn the
bench.
Weitalicized the above, and that is the
portion we except to. Months before
Judge Cole resigned, Hon. w. H. Sewers
informed the editor of this paper that he
was for Gov. Kirkwood for Senator, and
the day after election he repeated it, and
said he was for Kirkwood for Senator and
Gear for Speaker. This was many weeks
before Cole resigned, or thought of so do
ing. The Burlington Haookeye has also
done Judge Sewers injustice in this mat
ter and Frank Hatton knows the above
statement to be true, for he was told of
the facts, by the writer hereof, at about
the time above mentioned. Judge Seev-
ers is too well known and too highly re-
spected hereabouts, for such stories to
have any weight, and was it only ma tier
of the few votes that will be influenced
by such reports, we should say nothing,
but knowing the facts as we do, and
knowing that the reflections are untrue,
and made against pure, upright, honest
and conscientious man, occupying high
and digni6ed position, we ask our breth-
ren to play fair.

The Republican State Convention of
Maine met last Thursday, and re-nomina-
ted Gov. Connor. The Convention undn-
inaously recommended Hon. JAMES G.
BLAINE as L. S. Senator to fill the vacan-
cy caused by Senator Morrill's appoint
ment as Secretary of the Treasury.
Resolutions recommending Blaine for
the Senate close thus: Massachusetts,
will please take notice!" Reso lutions
were also adopted accepting the Cincin-
natl candidate and the platform, thanking
the Republicans of other States for their
enthusiastic support of Blaine, and reaf-
firming adherence to prohibition.
A message was read from Mr. Blaine,
saying, Every effort must be made to
give Governor Connor magnificent, old
fashioned majority in September. Maine
must lead the way for the triumpha 1T
election of Hayes and Wheeler"

There is a family in this town with nine

ST. LOUIS CONVENTION.

The Democratic National Convention
met in st Louis. Tuesday at noon. with
Henry Watterson of the Louisville Cou.
ier-JOurnat in the chair for temporary
organization. Permanent organization
was effected with Gen. John A. McCler
nand in the chair. The outlook al
the start put the candidates in
about the following order, so far as ex-
expressed numerical strength is concern,
ed: Tilden, Hendricks, Allen, Bayard,
Parker, with Judge Davis in the back
ground, as a compromise candidate. The
Democracy have rule requiring a two.
thirds vote to nominate. This makes
guessing hazardous. Large delegations
are present from New York, both for
and against Tilden, and there is Thur
man element from Ohio opposing Allen.
Hendricks shows much strength, and his
nomination would put the Republicans to
their mettle to carry Indianapolis in Octo-
Der, (which is victory we propose to
have) but would give us New York easily.
The general feeling of the delegates is that
the Republicans have very strong ticket,
and ruin stares Democracy in the face,
jump which way it may.
At this writing no ballot had been ia
ken, but much talk had been INDUCED in.
August Belmont made an unhappy allu-
sion as follows: "This is struggle be-
"tween Democracy-representing Union,
progress and prosperity-and Republi-
"canism, representing sectional strife, re-
"ligious intolerance, and continuation of
financial ills and industrial prostration." I"
The idea of Democracy representing
Union, will be something new to this
country, and August Belmont to tell us of
it, is rather refreshing, though little
brassy.
Judge Trimble Of Iowa is on committee
on resolutions. The leading Democrats
are trying to get platform to read that
1--WE are in favor of specie payment, but
opposed to resumption" If that horse
does not ride in two different directions,
we'd like to see one that does.

The New York Tribune, Independent
or Liberal, endorses the Republican nom-
inees, and virtually takes its place again
in the ranks of the party where it fought
so many years. Of course such recogni
ton of HAYES and WHEELER is pleasing
to Republicans, and while we believe that
the action of the Tribune will be more
for its own good than for the party, yet
must acknowledge that it is an element of
strength with the Liberal portion of the
party, though exerting but 1.-THE Of the
influence formerly held by it, before it
renegaded. 1t says of the nomination:
'The combination is indeed one of the

Wheeler and the Salary Grab.
indianapolis Journal.

The record of Hon. William A. Wheeler
on the so-called "salary-grab," is entirely
unique. He voted against the measure at
every stage and on its final passage. Af-
ter it passed he drew his back pay, con-
verted it into United States bonds and
turned the bonds into the Treasury, with
the request that they be Cancelled, saying
he would "stop the interest on that, much
of the national debt, at least"

The Burlington Hdsokeye, speaking of
Judge Davis, Democratic candidate for
President who weighs $50 lbs, says:
"When the people of this country want
for their President an example of how
much the human skin can be stretch ed
without splitting it, they will go to a side
show and get fat boy cheap. The idea
of President who groans every time he
sits down, and sighs every time he rises
to his feet, and has to have his trowsers
cut over a locomotive smoke stack Go
way with your fat man."

Speeches by Messrs. HartzeII, Lin.

court house last night was one of the
largest and most enthusiastic that has
taken place in Cairo for long time.
The meeting was for the purpose Of
forming Tiden and Hendricks club in
the Fourth and Fifth wards, which was
not accomplished, owing to the lateness

greater part OF an hour, exposing the cor
ruption OF the Republican party, and ad-
vocating honest government and reform.

speech, leaving a SPLENDID impression
upon the audience.
MIR. Linegar followed, speaking over
one hour, dwelling upon the school ques-
ton, civil service reform, litary inter
ference in the South. and the powers al.
lotted presidents of the United States.
