IOWA DEMOCRACY.
Hoe They Punish Their Thieres While
Republicans Escape.

Hoe They Punish Their Thieres While
Republicans Escape.
To the Editor OF the Globe.
ST. PAUL, Feb 19.-I was exceedingly "a
tonished to read in the Pioneer, Press of the
18th ult. the correspondence purporting to have
been written in Des Moines, Iowa. In this
article found the following untruthful state
ment:
Dies MONIES, Feb. 1.-THE people need not
suppose that becsuse a Democratic grand Jury
IN Lee county have refused to lndict e1-War-
den Craig that his case has been abandoned
The civil action against him and his bondsmen
will come on for trial March 3d. and if twelve
honest, good men and true can be found in
that county for jury, it is likely the State
Will receive at least some of the money filched
from the State treasury by Craig and mis- copar-
ceners.'
The writer of this was in Iowa at the time
that ex-Warden Craig robbed from the people
over $2OO,O0O. 1t was just upon the eve of
the gubernatorial campaign. Craig was dis
placed from Office, and the affairs of the pcni-
Tertiary were examined into by committee
appointed for that purpose, who were unani-
nous in their report that Craig had succeeded,
with the aid OF several confederates, in filch-
my from the treasury of the State vast sum
of money. When the grand jury of Lee couu-
ty convened if l am rightly informed and I
am positive that am they had under advise
ment the indictment of Mr.. Craig; but it was
fund that the Governor of the State had in his
possession all the papers relating to the case,
and upon demand he refused to turn them
over to the grand jury of Lee county. How
then could that Democratic jury find an in
dictment against Craig?
10 make party capital the Republican papers
and politicians were loud in their statements
that Craig was aided and abetted by Demo-
Gratis, which, when investigated, were found to
be base and uncalled for fabrications, retailed
for the purpose of keeping the rotten old hulk
of Republicanism together.
In the fall the Republican convention was
held, and Warden Craig sat in that convention
as delegate from Fremont county. 1t was
IN this same convention that the famous res
olutions were passed, which read: s'We de-
mand the closest scrutiny" 'sLet., no guilty
man escape" ETC., and yet in that convention
were to be found Ike Brandt, who robbed the
State of over $4,000; Ex-senator Harlan who
pocheted $4,000; Jim Wilson, of Credit
Mobilier fame, and Craig, who stole 5000, COG
from the people. LET guilty man escape -
indeed! "We demand the closest scrutiny
bosh. Republican politicians Grated in grand.
Eloquent style, that Iowa was out of debt, all
owing to Republican rule. This statement
was also found to be false, upon investigation
it was found that Iowa was over one million
dollars in debt, that the law of limitation was
exceeded by ninety-nine thousand dollars. Sc
much for 1.-THE closest scrutiny" Out of
thirty-seven defaulting county treasurers in
the State, thirty-six were Republicans and one
