Letter from MAJ. Cen. hurlbut.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81, 1877.
Gents:-I have examined with .
good deal Of . r your "History Of
Boone County" The work Is exceed
valuable In collecting together
material that would In . short
time have been lost, and giving upon
the whole . fair and full history of
the County. In general correctness,
I know no county history that equals
Il, and the few errors that have struck
my attention are, perhaps, unavoida-
BILE and Of NO particular moment. 1t
10 . very creditable work, and I hope
you will be fully compensated for
your time and labor bestowed.
Your obt. servant,

HISTORY OF BOONE COUNTY.

hiSIOhl OF BOONE
This work, of which we have had
occasion to make frequent mention
during the past three months, is COM
pleted and now being delivered to
subscribers. To say we are pleased
with the work does not fully express
II appreciation of its merits. 1t ia
far better than we expected, although
we had no misgivings from the first,
% to the honest intentions Of tho pub
fishers to present . work that would
be acceptable to the people. The
book 10 just what it, title purports,
The PAST and PRESENT Of this county.
1t commences with q brief reference
to the first settlements in Illinois,
shows where and by whom they wer6
made. and traces of their growth and
spread until they reached the Kish-
waukee country In june, 1885. From
that time till the present, every inn
portant event is traced out and pre-
sented In detail, resurrecting and
bringing back to the minds and men,
ories Of the surviving settlers of 1884
5-6-7 and 8, ETC., names, dates and in
cidents that had long since been for
gotten by them.
In addition to the general history,
It embraces the Physical Geography
ard Geology Of the country, carefully
compiled from the report OF the State
Geologist, . history of the schools,
churches, public buildings and every
thing else of public interest, together
with . full and complete record of its
soldiers in the war of the Rebellion,
its county officials, including the
Judges, Clerks and Prosecuting At
torneys, State Senators and Repre-
~sentatives, from the date of the first
election, In May, 1887, to the regular
election In November, 1876, making
It full, complete and invaluable as a
book Of reference, and worth even
more than the price at which it is
sold.
Taken altogether, this is q work of
rare merit, and five years hence we
predict that no subscriber can be In
duced to part with his copy at any
price.
They are now operating in Winnie
bago, Carroll and other counties, and
We assure the people in those coun-
ties that they will do all they promise,
and naor They are one Of the few
firms engaged in this kind Of work
that do as they agree.-B elridere

What a strange and significant pO-
litical spectacle is there presented to
the people of Iowato-day! As shown
by the returns Of last year the demo-
cratic vote vas $4,000, and the green
back 81, OOO-we give outside round
numbers. Both these parties profess
to represent definite principles, and
both nominated men for State officers
who were expected to defend those
principles. Each elected a Central or
working Committee whose duties
were merely to execute the expressed
will of their conventions respectively.
The honest masses of both parties
have taken their conventions at their
word and deed and have committed
themselves to their respective candi-
dates and principles. Agang of DEM
ocratic politicians, a scant dozen all
told, have been in secret caucus for
weeks, at different places, continuing
a scheme by which they can gobble
up the greenbackers without letting
them know it. Unable to agree upon
the terms it is said they have settled
some points by throwing dice and
games at cards. AS their scheme was
one of mere political gambling it was
natural to adopt the gamblers imple-
ments. These desperate political
gamblers have dragoOned their party
committees into meeting them, and
urging them to the work of usurping
powers they do not possess, for which
they will some day have to answer.
They are asked to trade and dicker
off their nominees and with them of
course such principles as they repre-
sent, merely that these schemes may
be put in the position of reaping the
benefits of the absorption and merg-
ing of the greenbackers into the DEM
ocratic party. These democratic
gamblers see that as they twice out
number the greenbackers, one fusion
election, unsuccessful though it be,
will witness the largest share of the
greenbackers permanently welded to
the democratic party. 1t is a mere
piece of political prOselyting and
gambling, and whether the green
hackers have sense enough to see the
trick, or the courage to reject it, is the
n remaining question.
Here then is the spectacle: The
honest masses of both Of these parties
are accounted IS sheep and asses,
mere human chattels, to be traded off
at will by a little knot of political
gamblers. The whole scheme pro-
ceeds upon the idea that there is not
an honest greenbacker, who believes
in his theories, in that party, but that
they are a rabble of mercenary adj
venturers to be knocked off to the
highest bidder over the auction block
of a little crowd of party gamblers!
Such a spectacle has never before been
seen in Iowa. We doubt whether it
has a parallel for audacity and impu-
dence in the whole history of our
country. Allowing something for the
irresponsible and constituencies per-
centage of the greenback party, we
are very sure that this barter and sale
will be fruitless rs the election is so
near at hand. 1t will prove a con-
temptible Gdsco and will be the laugh
ing stock of future times.
What a spectacle forthe public gaze!

ovRlocAL TICKET

The necessity of having good, faith
ful, intelligent and honest local officers
among Us to attend to u county and
township matters, in which every
man il directly interested, should not
be lost sight of amidst the excitement
Of the State and Congressional CAM
paign. As usual the Republicans Of
fer an unexceptional local ticket.
MOSES B. WALKER, u candidate for
Clerk, and WADE KIRKPATRICK, can
didate for reelection TO the office of
Recorder, were both members Of the
immortal Second Iowa,and both have
honorable scars, received in the front,
lighting the battles of their country,
while their opponents were not thus
steming the tide of disunion. These
gallant men still stand in the grand
old party that called them to the
field. With q spirit worthy Of all
emulation, they shouldered their mus
kets before they were scarcely old
enough to carry them, and served
gallantly in the ranks for the paltry
p~ittance Of thirteen dollars per month.
A constituency which would thrust
such men aside, would be unworthy Of
. Republican form of Government.
Besides these claims, which should
never be ignored or forgotten, they
are both men who have proven them
selves to be uncommonly competent
and trustworthy in official positions.
During the many years that WADE
KIRKPATRIcK-the o%ne-legged hero
OF Atlanta-has been Recorder, We
have not heard one syllable of dissat-
isfaction uttered against him, even by
the opposition and for tho four
years or more that MosE WALKER
was the principal deputy clerk under
Lee Cooley, it was universally adj
mitted that he was the model subor-
dinate and unapproachable scribe.
II you were hiring officers to serve
you . you hiro other help, paying no
attention to politics, but only regard
ing their fitness to serve you decently
and vol, forty-nine fiftieths of you
men of Wapello County would make
KIRKPATRICK and WALKER Recorder
and Clerk, and more than that, you
would keep them in Office until they
had opposition Of a more equally de-
serving character. Why can't you
have as much sense in your public, as
In your private affairs.
Let our Republicans not forget, too
JOHN d. BAKER, candidate for Sur
veyor, and s. A. MONROE, candidate
for Supervisor, both citizens of thir-
ty years standing, and against whom
not one word can be said.
We believe the township tickets,
which the Republicans here and else
where in the county are offering for
your ~suffrages, are generally made up
of men equally competent and trust
worthy.
Let us beseech you therefore, in the
name of fidelity to your worthy par
ty organization; in the interest Of
good government, and for the
sake of common fairness, and COM
mon honesty, that you stand by your
ticket without trade or decker, from
Secretary Of State to Assessor.
