In response to an invitation so to
do, addressed to him by Edward
Russell, of the Davenport Gazette,
Gov. Kirkwood has written a letter
explanatory of his sentiments re-
garding the Presidents southern pol
icy, which will have most statutory
effect in helping Iowa Republicans
to arrive at a wise determination as
to what shall be their attitude to the
President in his efforts to bring peace
and harmony to the whole, country.
We have room for but the following
extract, which embodies the gist of
the letter:
"The action of the President is
final in this matter so far as he has
acted; what he has done cannot be
undone. Those who do not approve
his action may find fault with it, but
they cannot, nor can he reverse it.
They may scold bitterly, but my OBJ
servation has been that scolding is
not very useful or decorous employ
ment. 1 feel perfectly sure that in
doing what he has done the Presi-
dent has done that which he believed
would but promote the public welfare
and l sincerely hope that time will
show that he has Judged correctly.
But if the result shall show that he
has made a mistake, I could not con-
denim him for having done what he
honestly believed was the right thing
to do. On the other hand, if, as I
think all good men hope, the Presi-
dents policy shall prove success,
would it not be rather awkward for
the Republican party in Iowa, if it
should have denounced that policy in
advance? The truth, as l under
stand, is, that the President himself
regards his policy as to some extent
experimentation experiment render
ed necessary In his judgment by the
failure of the former policy to effect
what all desired and deslre-the res
toration of good feeling between all
sections of our country, and the pro-
lection of all parties, races and per-
sons in all their rights, civil and po-
litical, and he and his advisers have
great hope for happy result. I
confess am not very hopeful-my
fears Of failure are greater than my
hopes of success, but 1 am willing to
wait, and no one will rejoice more
than myself if it shall appear that
my fears are unfounded.

AT the recent meeting of the State
Medical Society, at Cedar Rapids, a
memorial was presented by the Wo-
hans Christian Temperance Union,
setting forth the evils of intemper-
ance and asking the influence of the
Society against the use of alcoholic
medicines so far as possible. The
paper was referred to a committee
who reported by resolution, which
was adopted, saying: ave fully CO.
incide with these ladies in our depre-
cation of the baneful influence Of
the indiscriminate use of spirituous
liquors as beverage upon all class

The Pig-Headed Movement.
Monticello Express.

One would be led to infer from
the tone and temper of the Gear Or
gans that there is no man in Iowa
whose services, craftsmanship, high
character and ability give HIM such
unquestioned and irresistible claims
upon the Republican party as Mr..
Gear. So determined are Mr.. Gear
and his whippers-in, to carry their
point, that they do not hesitate to
put the very existence of the party in
peril in the accomplishment Of their
purpose. A more injudicious, IRA
tional, domineering and pigheaded
movement was never set on foot than
this attempt to secure the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Gear at all hazards, and
by methods that will not stand the
test of criticism.
Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1877-06-15

THE Gear organs have been spread
ing themselves over homeless illus
trative of the foolishness and im-
propriety of bringing the issue of
temperance into general politics.
This is all very well as theory, but
the fact still remains that there are
thousands of good and true Republi-
cans who-illogically and inconsist-
emily, it may be-declare that they
will not support John II. Gear for
Governor under any circumstances.
These men are found in every COM
munity, and their numbers are more
formidable than many suppose. This
is the situation as it presents itself
to the State Convention, and from
these facts it is to decide whether it
is prudent to nominate, at the behest
of the trading politicians, o man
with these elements Of weakness, or
to take some other man equally able,
equally honest, to whom they do not
apply.

AT the Marshall county Republi-
can Convention to elect delegates to
the State Convention, the question of
taking action with regard to the
Southern policy was brought up and
discussed, and the result was a strong
majority against any declaration on
the subject by the State Convention.
This was a wise conclusion, and this
sentiment will undoubtedly prevail
in the Convention.
We are reminded by this, that the
Dubuque Herald and one of its cor
respondents in this city has been
stating that the Republican County
Convention that meets in this city
tomorrow will try to exclude anti
policy Republicans from the delega-
ton to the State Convention. We
are certain that this is false, and that
it is device of the enemy to create
dlssension in the Republican ranks.
We have not heard lisp of such
purpose from anybody, and we are
sure that it " ould not be successful,
If undertaken. Were we member
of the Convention, we should fight
with all our might against the setting
up of this issue as a test Of Republi-
canism, We deem 1t question up
on which Republicans may honestly
differ without giving cause for the
of their political integ-
rity, and we know that we reflect the
opinions of the great mass of the
party in this county, in this regard.
