Democratic doctrine in Iowa same
as in Maine.

Democratic doctrine in Iowa same
as i'm Maine.
Mr.. NJ. NJ. Ham, the editor OF the Du'
buque Herald. a member OF the NATIONAL
Democratic Executive Committee and one
of the foremost democrats OF Iowa, hay
ing been urged to accept the democratic
nomination as n candidate for Governor
of that State, declined the invitation, and
in his letter of declination wrote as fol-
lows:
The events of the last nine months have indi-
Gated very plainly what will be the leading
question before the people for some time to come.
IL is the preservation OF the right oil the majority
to rule. Last year the people elected Mr. L llden
President by majority OF quarter oil million
of the popular vote, and by majority of twenty
three OF the electoral vote. But Mr. Hayes was
counted in notwithstanding. The man who was
elected was counted out and he who wasn't elected
was counted 10, and seated, and holds the place
As Mr.. Tilden has himself said, not long since,
the question now is whether our elective system
is to be maintained. This is the question OF ques-
lions. Until it is settled there can be no politics
founded on inferior questions OF administrative
policy. 1t involves all others-hnance, labor and
the whole system of popular government. Inc
people must sgnallv condemn the great fraud put
upon them Tney must strip the example of ev-
erything that would attract mutation, and refuse
prosperous immunity to those who reap the ben
efit OF the crime. Judgment is already overtak.
ing them. | believe in keeping the great fraud
before the people until we can have 1t dhntely de-
ermined whether the ma jorty shall rule or wheth-
er elections shall be decided by returning boards,
and "by fraud, by perjury and by forgery" as the
senior Justice OF the supreme Court of the Unit
ed States says the last one was. 1t is now the
mission of the democratic party to see to 1t that
IA 10 mn s kpnt always before the DeOple, and
that the memory OF it shall not die out of the
land On this question it does not seem possible
that any sincere patriot or honest man should hes
ltate long upon which side he will be found.

Gov. COnnOr's Letter.

From the Bangor Wing and Courier.
We print elsewhere the notification by the spec
ial committee of the republican State Convention
and Gov. Connors reply, accepting the nomina-
tiou unanimously rendered him. 1t is, like all of
Gov. Connor's utterances, clear, emphatic and di-
rect. He nds in the declaration of principles
adopted the fundamental tenets" Of the great
republican party, and there is nothing in the plat.
form which needs interpreting or explaining way
The principles are those for which he fought nigh
unto the gates of death, to which he has adhered
unwaveringly since the close of the war, and as
a worthy representative Of which he has twice
been chosen to fill the highest office in the gift of
the people of Maine, and is now third time
called to carry forward the republican banner to
victory.
Our honored Governor sends a most fitting re-
spouse to the summons of the State Convention
and his letter will be read with the warmest graf
ifeaton by the republicans of Maine, who are
now rallying for grand triumph on the 10th day
of September.
From the Portland Press.
Governor Connor's letter accepting the reDomn-
alton rendered him by the republicans of Maine,
the republicans of this State by its hearty and un-
reserved Enforcement of the declaration of prn-
cpes adopted by them in convention assembled.
Unlike his opponent he find. nothing to excuse or
explain away in the platform upon which he takes
his stand The letter is a new claim upon the
support of the men whom he has twice led to VIC
| tory.
| Governor Conner sees and clearly states the
great question at issue between the two political
parties in Maine. That question is the validity Of
the title oil President Hayes to the high Office
which he holds The democracy in their plat
form have stigmatized him as a usurper, have in
effect declared that the man who now discharges
the duties Of the Presidency does so without an.
thority of law, and have led the people to assume
as logical sequence Of this declaration that no
act Of his is legal OF entitled to respect. They

tionists, and want only courage and strength tc
be SO in deeds. Their candidate for Governor ha
made disingenuous attempt TO put another con
struetion upon the platform, but his forced inter
probation has been elected with derision and tn,
holder spirits Of the party throw aside his accept
ance letter altogether and make their fight upoi
the revolutionary platform.
; The issue made by the democrats is squarely
met by Gov. Conner and the republicans, who un

A Vote for MunsOn is a Vote for
the Democratic Candidate for
Governor.

Governor.
Every intelligent voter must know that
a vote cast for Munson, the greenback
candidate for Governor, will count as
much for the democratic side as a vote
for the democratic candidate. II Munson
could draw few thousand votes from the
republican party he would add
just so many to the democratic
candidate, and that is all that
his candidacy could accomplish. Munson
is simply tender to the democratic ship.
Greenback republicans, if there are any
sucb had better consider for whom their
votes will actually count before they cast
them for Munson. \ word to the wise is
sufficient.

Politics are going to be lively in New
York. The Times says the call for the
republican State convention twill proba-
bly, be responded to by body OF more
truly representative republicans than have
been recently seen at State conventions,
just as the campaign which it will set in
motion promises to be one of the most re-
markable which has been seen in the En-
pire State. According to all presidents
this ought to be an off year in politics,
but among other remarkable phenomena
of the time is that the people remain, after
the exhaustion of a Presidential year, as
liable to be stirred by questions Of parti-
Fan supremacy in New York as if they
had been violently awakened from state
OF political apathy"

The Argus Converted.

The Eastern Argus from being unable
to speak of President Hayes except as the
fraudulent President" Ills Fraudu-
lency," &C., has become so converted
through the nomination of Mr.. Williams
as to become defender of the President S
title to his office. In is issue OF Tuesday
it says:
Is not Rutherford b. Hayes lawful President
of the United States We had not supposed that
anybody denied such to be the fact. Certainly
we had no idea that the second resolution adopt
ed by the Democratic State Convention made, or
intended to make any such denial.
If he is not the lawful President then we are
without government. and all the acts done in
the name, and in behalf of the federal executive
authority are void.
Wonders never will cease. There has
not been so much good sense in the Argus
in relation to the title of President Hayes
since the Inauguration in March.

An Ingenious Swindle.

The American Agriculturist calls at
tention to swindle of petty details.
but large in the aggregate. Eastern
firms and others are advertising to fur
nish visiting cards at price which does
not cover the cost of good cardboard.
The advertisements are directed to the
young people, and receive attention
usually from none but the young. The
one or two orders from any locality are
filed promptly, as rule and large in
ducements are offered to agents. In
this way it often happens that some
person in the vicinity consents to act as
agent, and secures a club larger or small
er, as the case may be. The names and
money are sent on, the advertising firm
pockets the money, and the agent is
left to make good the loss of the patrons
who have ordered cards. All this is
bad enough, but the evil does not end
there. The lists of names secured in
this way are turned over to the publish
ers of obscene literature, who use the
list in directing circulars, etc. The first
advertisement for cards, frequently APP
pear in the amateur papers, where they
escape notice, except among the young.
The Agriculturist advises all parents
whose children have sent their names
for these cheap cards to carefully super
wise the mail matter received by the
children. 1t has been of late more than
once asserted that literature of evil ten
dency was more freely circulated
among the school children of the coun-
try than ever before. The exposure by
the Agriculturist seems to explain one
reason why this is so.
