For Better or Worse.
Nuptials of Mr.. w. s. Boggs and Mis-.
Virginia Clarke.

A large and brilliant throng of ladies
and gentlemen assembled at the parlors
of the home Of Mrs. and Mrs. Asa
Clarke, on Thursday evening of last
week, to witness the nuptials of their
daughter, Miss Virginia, and Mr.. w. S.
Boggs. The ceremonies were performed
at $50 o'clock, by Rev. W. B. Phelps,
pastor of the Presbyterian church, and
as the impressive words which made the
young couple husband and wife were
pronounced, all felt the worthincss Of
each, and that it was fitting that they
should travel together down the road of
life. After the ceremony had been
completed, the company sat down to
some refreshments, and the evening was
spent as is customary-in congratula-
tions and merry making. At a late
hour the guests departed, with many
expressions Of good wishes and happy
thoughts.
Miss Clarke, the fair bride, has hosts
Of friends among all classes of our peo-
pie. She has moved in the best of our
society circles, though in an unostenta-
tious -preferring the quiet of home
to the bright glare of society. She has
been dutiful daughter, and we are
sure she will make faithful and loving
wife. Mr.. Boggs, the groom, has lived in
Independence from his boyhood, and
contracted many warm friendships in
business and social circles. For num-
Der of years past, he has been in the
employ of the Independence Mills Co.,
as bookkeeper, and has performed his
duties in a manner calculated to make
his services indispensable.
TO conclude, our best wish is, that
the close of their life may be the reali-
cation of all the promises that this COM
mencement has given forth, and that
the feeling they now bear to each other
may be continued until death do them
part"

THE DEMo-GREENBACK SwAp.-For
week past certain self-constituted
leaders of the Democratic and Green
back parties in this county have been
putting their heads together, daily and
nightly, in the Office of Democratic at
torney in this city, trying to patch mp
some sort of bargain to pool their is
sues and thereby get possession of the
county Offices. AS the transaction was
entirely outside of honesty or principle,
and only barter in which each party
desired to swindle the other, it may be
inferred that the point OF difference was
the division of the loot. This was no
easy task, and the contracting parties
had a serious time of it. The trade was
settled more than once, but would not
stay settled, An attempt was made to
retire p. NJ. Freeman, one of the Demo-
cratic candidates for Supervisor, in faI
vor of one of the Greenback candidates.
But Freeman came down from his farm
with blood in his eye, and he was re-
tanned. Other obstacles to the trade
came up, but were removed in some
way, and it is generally understood that
the dicker is accomplished, though the
policy of the parties to it seems to be
to keep it from the public, and to let
the first intimation of it be given to the
voters by the printed tickets on election
day. We have inside information, how
ever, Of the details of the swap, which
we think is reliable. Williamson, Green
hacker, is the candidate for Clerk, the
Democrats having no announced candi-
date for that place since Capt. Sill de-
clined. Mr. Deering, the Democratic
candidate for Recorder, retires with the
promise Of being made Williamsons
deputy, in case the latter is elected
This leaves the field open for Miller,
Greenback candidate for Recorder Re
garding the dickcr on Supervisors, the
details-if, indeed, they are yet agreed
upon-are not so clear The best con-
lecture is that Messrs. Blank and futile
will be ruled off the Greenback ticket,
and Mr.. Dunlap from the Democratic
ticket, leaving the mongrel ticket to
stand as follows: Freeman and Goen,
Democrats, and Miguel, Greenbacker.
Another condition of the trade is that
the Greenbackers are to print in their
ticket the names of Preston and Fouke.
Democratic candidates for Judge and
District Attorney.

THF Independence correspondent of

THF independence correspondent of
the Dubuque Herald, referring to the
bargain and sale in this county, says:
The Democrats are to put he Greerb'ck
candida es for Clerk and I.ecorder on their
ton and Fouke Oh Their ticket. How far the
vo -ers of both parties will respect this argu-
ment can only be decided after the election.
We should think so. We predict
that the parties in interest will not go
into extacies of joy over the determine
ton. OF the parties whose names are
mentioned above, we pass the first, but
we have no hesitation in saying that in
the interest of good morals, and honest
administration of justice, Mr.. Fouke
ought to be defeated by an oyerwhelm-
ing majority This is not a partisan
opinion. 1t was but day or two since,
that a Dubuque Democrat, of recognized
prominence and influence, while in our
city, expressed himself in very strong
language regarding the disreputable po-
htical methods of Mr. Fouke, declaring
that to engage in every sort of dirty,
trickery, and to sell out his friends, if
need be, for his own selfish ends, was
characteristic of Fouke, and that he
hoped he would be defeated. As we
said last week, every honest man should
esteem it privilege to set his foot up
on the political aspirations of such a
candidate.
