A Hint to GrumblerS.

The Burlington Hawkeye recently Of
fered to business men these excellent
suggestions:
"A standing advertisement in a news
paper, set boldly out, attracts a good
deal of attention and becomes transfix-
ed in the memory Of every reader. 1t
may not be noticed at first, but after a
while the lines grow familiar to the eye
and become stamped upon the mind
The advantage is made apparent in this
way, the subscriber in the course OF
time wants something in the line of
goods kept by the man whose advertise
ment he is familiar with He naturally
visits the advertisers store and buys
what he wants, for though he may never
have been inside the place before, he
feels thoroughly acquainted with every
thing about it, and this removes that
embarrassment which no one likes to
show when on shopping tour. a good
advertisement kept constantly in a pa
per, is like finger board at cross road
it removes all difficulty in finding the
right place
To this another journal promptly re-
spends:
The above is all true, and we may
add more Some of our patrons say I
don't want standing advertisement |
will invest in locals But a few men
in the hurry of business attend to send
ing in locals to weekly paper regular
ly, and much of the time are not repre-
scented. This western country is con-
stantly being peopled with new corners.
They come with money and stop with
acquaintance. The county paper is
the first thing asked for. If the judi
cious advertiser is represented by an at
tractive advertisement, he may profit
thereby, but if his face in the way. of
type has been omitted, and the locals
forgotten, as they often are, the new
conner, when he goes to purchase his
outfit, will look for the sign of the store
which he found announced in the stand
ing ads. They are taken as an index to
business places, just as much as the
painted sign, or the goods displayed in
front. Locals in connection with an
advertisement, frequently changed are
good, but the two should 60 together,
and in the end are the most profitable"

Updegraff's Majority, 1850

The judicial ticket has not Jared so
well. Bagg, the Republican candidate
for Judge, is elected by about 500 ma
jority, but Powers, for District Attor-
ney, is defeated by Fouke, his Demo-
cratic competitor This was brought
about by the heavy vote for the latter
in his own city, Dubuque, the elements
making up the voting population of that
city presenting good field for the ex-
ercise of Mr. Fouke's peculiar, though
questionable methods of political work.
The returns from the election in Ohio
show large Republican gains in every
part of the State. The majority claim
ed for the State ticket is 10000 to 12,-
600. The Republicans also claim 9 out
of the 20 Congressman.

The cute City, from the standpoint of
the election just passed, thus forecasts
the future of political parties in this
country:
The feeling and people who were at
work in yesterdays elections from the
standpoint of cheap government money
are going to be factors in the next Pres
idential election. They have swallowed
up and caused the collapse of the Dem
ocratic party That party will scarcely
be able to suvive the weakness brought
upon it by the attempt of its managers
to swallow the fiat money politics, the
consequent disgust of sound money
Democrats, and the detection of so ma
ny of it's former members to the Green
back National party outright. 1t the
Democratic party enters into the next
Presidential election as considerable
element it will be as the outright Green
back party. The Republican will be
the Resumption and Hard Money party
and be openly supported by all Re
sumption and Hard Money men wheth-
err they are now Democrats or Republi-
cans. The elections Of yesterday mark
ed the transitions of this financial shap-
ing Of events for the next Presidential
election

LARGE REPUBLICAN GAINS.
IOWA

IOWA.
The contest of last Tuesday was an
intensely exciting one in all parts of the
State, and an unusually large vote was
polled for an off year. The interest, of
course, centered on the Congressional
candidates, and although the solid Re-
publican delegation in Congress is again
broken by the probable election of the
ranting communist, Gillette, in the 18th
District, by the aid of Democratic votes,
still, considering the odds they have
had to contend agtinst, the Republicans
of Iowa have reason to feel proud of
the result of the battle The returns
are yet incomplete, but they indicate
that the Republican candidates for
State offices have been elected by hand
some majorities over the Demo-Green-
back combination. The only drawback
to this is the probable defeat of Col.
Cummings, Republican, for Congress
in the Capital distict.
p. Slater returns indicate the cleo
ton of Weaver, Demo- reenback candi-
date for Congress in the Sixth District,
making two of that notified complexion
for Iowa. Weaver is demagogue OF
the most contemplate sort.
THE THIRD DISTRICT.
The contest in this district over the
election of member of Congress has
been fought with vigor and determine
ton on all sides. The Fiatists, early in
the field, made a most lively canvass,
especially in this and Fayette counties,
both of which they have confidently
claimed for their candidate for Congress,
Mr.. Spangler. They have constantly
anticipated and predicted sweeping
victory in the district. But from the
time that the Republican campaign
opened in earnest, this hope and expec-
tation has been fading away, and the re-
suit shows that the Greenback strength
in the district is even below that of the
Democracy. The Republican campaign
has been most brilliant and effective
one. The party has constantly present
ed bold and defiant front to the double
enemy. 1t has not retired an inch from
it's high ground in favor of honest and
sound finance, sacrificed a principle or
sought utilization with the enemies OF
it's creed 1t has fought the fight in an
honorable and manly way, and at its
close the candidate Of it's choice is
elected by majority over his highest
competitor, of from 1000 to 1900. 1t
has made a record to be proud of, and
which establishes conclusively its claim
to be the only party of principle before
the people. The returns indicate that
Spangler will not have plurality in
single county in the district, though his
supporters have always claimed Bu
chanan and Fayette, with fair chance
of capturing two or three of the northern
counties. The contest was really be-
tween Updegraff and ODonnell, and the
following is an approximate estimate of
the result in the district as between
them:

The Retirement OF National Banks.

The Inter- Ocean, which has been one
of the most rabid opponents of the Ma
tional bank system, is becoming alarmed
at the manifestation of disposition up
on the part Of banks not to await the
possible action of Congress to enforce
their retirement, but to go out of bust
ness at once as banks of issue. Refer
ring to the Traders National Bank of
Chicago, and the First National Bank
of Sparta, Wis, both of which have no.
tilted the Comptroller of the Currency
of their intention to relinquish their
charters as National banks, both intend
ing to continue business under State
charters, the Inter- Ocean says:
Indeed, the danger now appears to
be the haste the banks may make to
change their charters Any hasty move
ment, either on the part of Congress or
the banks, could hardly fail to produce
financial disturbances that would be
serious A general movement like this
among the National banks would so con
tract the currency that Congress would
be called upon at once to take measures
to supply circulating medium to take
the place of the bank notes retired:
The transition ought to be gradual and
the new scheme well considered. We
confess to some misgivings at seeing
this almost eagerness on the part OF
some to return to the State banking
system, and fear that, instead of Treas
ury notes, ill-advised demagogues may
take advantage of the peoples distress,
and infict the old system of local issues
of paper money upon the nation. Far
better would be National banks aoithom
taxation than such a retrograde move
ment.'
1t is something remarkable to see the
Inter- Ocean advising the liberation Of
National banks, much more to contem-
plate their retention without taxation.

The Chicago Inter- Ocean speaks Of
the most serious effect in Iowa from
the union of the Greenbackers with the
Democrats. % Since the election the
Chicago Initiation paper can see the "se
rious effect" in the loss of two Repre-
sentatives in Congress and the local Re
publican tickets in one-third of the
counties in Iowa. One of the paincipaI
causes of this effect" was the Fiat
heresy taught so industriously by the
