CERTAIN parties have already COM
menced bitter and INSCRIPTIONS war
fare upon the candidates upon the Re-
publican county ticket, especially
Messrs Poor and Warne. Reports have
come to us, within few days past, of
charges and assertions made to injurc
these gentlemen of which the authors
ought to be ashamed, if they have par
ticle of manhood left. Now, we submit
that the campaign this fall promises to
be dirty enough without the circulation
by men who claim to be honorable and
respectable, of reports which they know
or might know by very little examina-
ton, to be utterly baseless and malevo-
lent. We hope that our people will ex-
anime everything that may be brought
to their consideration without prejudice
accepting no statement purporting to be
fact, without candid examination ant
the exercise of calm judgment. Let the
truth prevail, and let us not be disgrac
ed as community by blindly following
the lead of demagogues, and parties wht
have no other interest in the canvas.
than the furtherance of their own grasp
ing, sordid interests, or the spoils of of
J fee.

SUDDEN DEATH-Under the proper
head in another place will be found the
announcement of the death of Mrs. G.
J. Reed, wife of journalist formerly of
this city, and well known in this part of
Iowa by his connection with the Du-
buque Herald and Times, and other pa
pers, but now residing in Colorado. Mrs.
Reed, with her two children, was living
with her mother and step-father, Mr..
Jerry Conley, in this city, expecting to
join her husband in the West when he
had prepared home for her. She had
been in delicate health for some time
and the day before her death had an
ague chill On Sunday, however, she
was feeling better, and around the house
as usual About II o'clock she retired
to her room to rest. while her mother
prepared some refreshment for her.
Soon after, her little daughter entered
the room and spoke to her in relation to
| some childish want but elected no re-
| spouse, when Mrs. Conley spoke to her
with no better success, and entering the
room was Mortified to find Mrs. Reed
cold in the embrace of death, having,
seemingly, passed away without strug-
gle. The funeral took place on Monday
at the Episcopal church, of which socie-
ty she was member, the services being
conducted by the pastor, Rev. T. B
Kemp, d. d.
In connection with this account, Mr.
and Mrs. Conley desire us to convey
their grateful thanks to the friends wht
so kindly rendered their assistance ant
! sympathy on this melancholy occasion

The DEMOCRATIC CONvENTION.-Th
Democracy of this county assembled at
the Court House last Saturday to nomi-
nate county officers, or rather, according
to the preconcerted programme to rati-
fly the nominations made by the Green
hackers. 1t would be misnomer to
call it meeting of the unterrifed, for
it was the meekest, limpest, most bro
ken-spirited body of politicians that ev-
er assembled in this county. There
was over the whole proceedings an apol-
ogetic, deprecatory, listless air, as though
the party realized that it only exists by
suffrance, and that its inevitable and APP
propriate attitude in the present can
vass was that of cowed submission to
circumstances over which it had ceased
to hope for control. The only evidence
of spirit shown by the Convention was
the substitution of John J. Ney as Rep
resentative for Mr.. Spangler, the Green
back nominee. The manner in which
this was done showed that the dele
gates were frightened at their own tenn
Gritty, refusing to commit themselves to
the boldness of nomination by accla-
nation, insisting, rather, upon the apol-
ogetic farce of ballot, in which Spang-
Ter got five votes. The rest of the
Greenback ticket was duly gulped, with
the exception of Co. Superintendent for
which Office, taking advantage of the
fact that Mr. Miller had declined, they
nominated Judge Roszell The nominal
ton of Ney was a sop thrown to the lit
tie band of straight-Outs who had been
keeping up such a clamor of denuncia-
ton at the selling out of the party to
Spangler 4 Co., but it does not seem to
placate them particle as their curses,
not loud but deep, gave evidence.
p. S.-Since the above was written
Mr.. Ney has handed us for publication
his declination of the nomination, and
we learn that Judge Roszell declines
also There has evidently been some
secret work done since the Convention
and result of the conspiracy is that the
poor concessions made to the real Dem
ocracy have been withdrawn, and they
are turned over to act us hewers OF
wood and drawers of water to the crazy
Greenbackers. They will squirm lit
tie but eventually come under the yoke.

Some people have been industriously
circulating the report that B. G. Hale,
Republican nominee for Sheriff, went
into the army to avoid suits that we're
brought against him while Sheriff of this
county in 1862. The fact is, that at the
first term the suits came up for trial, as
we understand it, the opposite party had
the suits continued on account of the
absence OF material witness, who had
entered the army Before the next term
of the Court Mr.. B. had enlisted, as any
patriotic man had right to do. After
the war was over one suit was tried with
judgment in the Sheriff's favor and the
other suits were dismissed. His bonds
men never had to pay cent nor himself
either. Was there ever Sheriff in Bu-
chanan county who has not been sued?
1t there has been we should like to know
his name. We have had some good
Sheriffs who have been sued, and who
have not been successful in their suits
either. The law makes the Sheriff in
many instances the only party who can
be sued. Our Court calendars will show
that the Sheriff is a party to more suits
CAdI any OCIlCI pcISOH vi OIHCcT Ill The
county. Let us have have fair play
Nndicator.
The above is true statement OF facts,
except that it should be added that the
suits against Mr.. Hale were dismissed
on the motion of the opposite attorneys
in the case, and that the subject matter
Of the suits involved no imputation up
on Mr.. Hale's integrity as man or Off
Ger, but simply the legality of certain
official action, which was fully sustained
by the result. Mr.. Hale entered the
army for no unworthy or cowardly pur-
pose, but to do what he could as patri-
otto citizen to save the country from
ACKNOWLEDGMENT by armed traitors. Nei-
Their as soldier or civilian can any stain
be truthfully attached to his character,
and his enemies, by the pitiful charge
above alluded to, show how much they
are at loss to find flaw in his record.

DECLINEs.-ln our notice of the
Greenback candidates last week, we sur
missed that the candidate for Co. Super
intendent, Mr.. W. j. Miller, had not
sought the nomination, and that it was
not agreeable to his tastes and qualifca-
tions. The event has proved the cor
rectness of this judgment. Mr.. Miller
declines the nomination for reasons sub
stantially as stated, and the name of NJ.
J. Goodrich, of Winthrop, has been sub
stituted, as we understand, with his
consent. We confess that we are some
what surprised to find Mr. Goodrich a
candidate for the position after the
pains he took last week to come to the
BULLETIN Office to have the intimation
that he wanted the nomination from any
party, contradicted From the cmpha-
sis with which Mr.. Goodrich spurned
the idea that he was seeking to be can.
didatc for Superintendent, we thought
he would be the last man to take the
nomination, much less at second hand
We are now convinced that he was play
ing the demagogue, and the knowledge
of that fact is not calculated to induce
confidence in his fitness to have charge
of our school interests. But then We
are reminded that the Greenback party
is the safe harbor of petty dcmagogues
