The Conservative comes out this
week with square proposition that the
Democracy combine with the Green
hackers in the nomination Of judicial
ticket next Tuesday at Dyersville. OF
course our contemporary can place its
recommendation on no other ground
than that of combination for spoils
without regard to principle or consist
ency. 1t says: With straight tick
ct, defeat is inevitable. By dividing
with the Greenbackers, success is as
sured. If we can secure the Judge, can
we not afford to give the district attor-
ney to the Grcenback party?" Here
the idea of traffic is unblushingly avow-
ed, without single pretensc that the
parties to the contract have any inter
est in common, except to grasp the
spoils of Office We are wont to hear
certain Of our prominent Democrats
talk pompously of the integrity of their
party, and to deprecate its degradation
by utilization with the odds and ends of
short-lived parties. We are curious to
see how these men will receive the sug-
gestion of trick and dicker from the or
gan of their party.
BIT there is another remarkable fea
ture in the Conservative programme.
1t would not only have its own party
sink its identity in dishonest coalition
for spoils merely, but it presumes to
dictate whom the Greenbackers shall
present as the nominee for District At
iorney. 1t says; The Greenback
men would ask the nomination Of Mr..
Hasner of this city as District Attor-
ney, who, as is well known has good
legal mind and is every way capable
Now how does our contemporary know
that the Greenbackers of this Judicial
District will ask for the nomination of
Hasner? 1t will probably strike many
Greenbackers throughout the district
as rather cheeky for Democratic pa
per to thus prepare cut and dried pro-
gramme for them. Besides. the Con-
serrotire has forgotten the speech made
by Mr.. Hasner at the West Union Con-
vention, which nominated Mr.. Spangler.
Here is synopsis of it as given in the
daily papers at the time.
Mr. Hasner was then called out. who said
that care was necessary in making the nOmi-
nation of a candidate for Congress, for, the
prospect seemed tiatterlng for success the COM
either of the other political parties. [Applause.l
No more bonds should be issued. Make the
greenback legal tender for all debts, public
and private, &C.
Perhaps the Conservative will explain
how Mr. Hasner can, consistently with
the above declaration in italics, accept
the nomination of piebald convention
such as it proposes. tits already given
out that our contemporary will make a
point against Republicans for nominal
ing man for Congress who kicked out
of the traces and went into the Greeley
movement six years ago. How much
right it has to criticize Republicans on
that point is shown by its present coun.
sci to its own party to seek utilization
with the Greenbackers, not for the es-
tablishment of any principle or the fur
therance of any of it's policies, but
avowedly for the spoils of Office.

The Personal Fitness Of Candidates.

The Ottumwa Courier has some SEN
sible suggestions regarding the plea Of
a certain class of demagogues, who,
when the personal character and quail
fications Of any candidate they may
favor is held up for examination,
straightway raise the cry that person
al attack is being made upon such can
didate, and try to make capital for him
on the plea of persecution The Con-
riier says:
"We maintain that there is nothing
which the individual would be justified,
for his own security, to investigate, in
the employment Of help, or an agent or
attorney to transact his private bust
ness, that the people have not the same
right to investigate in the employment
of their agents,-in other words, the
same rule should govern the people in
the selection of public servants that
governs the individual in the selection
Of private servants. IF a man is loose,
improvident, reckless of meeting his OBJ
legations and his promises, he will not
be trusted by the careful, prudent man,
and this matter is one of the very first
and most important things that every
prudent man inquiries into in regard to
an employee. The people should do the
same thing, and the lack of doing it in
many cases, is the precise cause Of pee
ulation in the public service; of so
much on the part of public men of sell
ing out their constituency for their
own private gain and their own personal
ends. Sterling, unfinching integrity,
strict compliance with all obligations;
prompt payment of debts; frugal, me-
thodical living, are fortune to any
man; they are passport to confidence;
they insure employment; they give the
best warrant Of the honest, proper per-
Torrance of duty, as we'll public duties
as private duties. Per contra, the i'm
prudent, careless, unmethodical man;
the man who makes debts with care
less Indifference as to payment; who
will live in fine style, put his all and
more than has all, into fine house, and
fine dress, and not pay his debts, though
his income be handsome or though it be
small, is not such a man as the individ-
ual trusts with his treasure nor as the
public should trust with important po-
sition, and it is true that of such are
largely the men who are the candidates
for office going about the country, to-
day, arraying capital against labor; who
abuse men Of the highest honor and stir
up the populace against them

TIE Republican party's position
should command unhesitatingly the sup
port of all Democratic and independent
voters who want this uproar about the
currency stopped and anAhonest and
stable system of money established in
this country, promptly and as inality.
There will be no prosperity for the
United States until these crusades of
financial absurdities are over, the fnan-
ces taken out of politics, and business
done with stable money that the poll
ticians have nothing to do with. This is
the pressing issue and need of the times
and all sensible men should work to-
gether to speedily bring it about. There
is nothing in the Southern situation to
Wrangle over. Democrats have avowedly
accepted Republican position as to that.
Now they and independent voters should
60 in and help Republicans settle the
financial question.

Sound Doctrine.

The following extract from the ad-
dress of the Wisconsin Republican Com
mittee is deserving of thoughtful peru
sal by every voter:
=" A party which, like the Republican
party, aims to secure the cooperation
of the best and most enlightened mem
bers of the community, must present a
clear, distinct and unambiguous pro-
gramme. 1t must dare to stand forth
boldly in support of whatever it believes
the right even at the hazard of temper
airy defeat. 1t cannot afford to encour-
age false principles or acquiesce in mis-
chievous and delusive measures, though
the current of popular opinion may
seem, for the moment. to be running in
their favor. Such course may assure
a temporary success, but is certain to
terminate in permanent disaster. We
must trust largely in the real integrity
of the people, not assuming that major
tiles are always in the right, but with
faith that the majority desire to be
right, and are capable of being convinc-
ed by facts and arguments addressed to
their reason and conscience"
These are golden words and they en-
body the only principle upon which any
political party can hope for permanency
and usefulness. 1t is just the opposite
policy from that which seems to find
favor with the Democratic party of
Iowa, which is continually subordinate
ing it's long held principles, and, for tenn
porary advantage, making overtures to
all sorts of ephemeral organizations with
which it holds no theory Of government
in common. Between such party and
one which holds to stable theories of
finance in the face of popular olamor,
excited and stimulated by INSCRIPTIONS
demagogues of the Butler Weaver-Hog-
gait school, no honest y9ter can long
hesitate.

missioner?

We observe that the Mason City Re
publican deems it Of Importance to no
tice and comment upon the scurrilous
attack made upon State Treasurer Be
mis- by that black mailing scalawag, H.
G.. Van Leuven, in his obscure sheet, the
Lime Springs Tribune. We think our
friend Lucas errs in Judgment in so hon
oring anything emanating from that dis
reputable source. Van Leuvcn's well
known character as dead-beating
knave is a sufficient antidote against
anything that he may say of any respec-
table person. We only mention it to
say to the Republican that it hit the
nail squarely on the head when it sug-
gested that Van Leuven has personal
pique to crafty by his attack upon Mr..
Bemis. We have in our possession facts
to prove that such is Van Leuven ami
mus. and it is only sufficient to say that
they fully and completely justify the
character we have given him above.
They might be produced if the game
were worth the candle.

THE folly of the Greenback demand
for the taxation of the Government
bonds is thus shown up by the Boston
Tdnscript:
mo nation taxes its bonds. BY eXempting
bonds from taxation the United States makes
money, because it gains in interest saved. more
than it could possibly get in taxes. Again,
were the bonds taxed. not only would it be
necessary to pay more interest, but the bonds
would be worth more ont of the country than
in it. and would go abroad. where the interest
would have to follow them, but where the tax
gatherer would be pOwerleSS.

beyond his powe

REFERRING to the defeat of Mr. Cool
ey in the Convention, the Dubuque
Telegraph gives what will be recognized
as very correct estimate of the sources
of Mr. Cooley's popularity in Dubuque,
and a just judgment of the controlling
influence in Dubuque politics. 1t says:
To our shame as Americans, it must be con-
fessed that the majority of Dubuquers regret
his defeat because if nominated, he would
spend money literally; and discreditable as it
may seem, and is, money is the most potent
factor in Dubuque politics.

THE HANGMAN,S LEDGER.

-r While crime ran riot in some sections
OF our country during the past year, and
murder with his hotrid front stalked
boldly over the PROSTATE forms OF his
many victims, it is matter of much
surprise that so few men were hohored
with the professional services OF the
public executioner. Although many
were called but few were chosen. and
while murderers were arraigued before
every Court in the United States until
their numbers extended far into the
thousands, they one by one slipped
through the open sieve OF the law until,
when they brought up at the gallows, the
muster-rou Of the hangman was found
to consist of but eighty three men for
the entire year. Many OF the others were
again turned loose upon society to re-
new their savage careers, and some, per-
haps justly, were committed to impris-
onment, where 1t is to be hoped that
plenty Of hard work and ample time Tor
reflection will accomplish their reforma-
tion. 1t is startling fact, however, be-
fore which the thoughtful man will
pause in serious consideration, that all
the crime with which our land has been
burdened should bring about such a
showing of punishment. Newspapers
teeln with accounts OF recently commit
ted murders, and almost every hour
OF the day and night there flashes
over the wires report of
the violent taking OF human life,
yet only eighty-three of all the criminals
who participated in these deeds Of
blood have suffered that extreme penal
ty which for ages the law has reserved
for the murderer. These executions
were divided among only twenty five
States, excluding, Of course, those
wherein capital punishment has been
abolished, Pennsylvania heading the
list with sixteen, ten OF these being
Molly Mcguire murderers. South Caro-
lima seems to have made the next best
effort toward the suppression of crime,
her executions numbering twelve. Cali :
Eornia and North Carolina come next on
the list with five each, and Indeed the
Southern STAKES are accredited with
more than half of all the ex-
sculions. Mountain Meadows Lee
stands solitary and alone in Utah, and
the California haagman glories in hav-
