At last, the first vessel of the
Greedy Relief Expedition, the Bear"
has sailed for the Arctic regions on
its humane mission of rescue. Two
other vessels, the Thetis and Alert,
will soon follow and if Lieut.. Greedy
and his party are still survivors,
they may yet be rescued and returned
to their country and friends.
1t will be remembered that the
Greedy expedition set out in mid
summer nearly three years ago, to
man one of the polar stations in the
North, established for scientific pur-
poses, by the leading governments
of the world. The party left the
ship Proteus" at Lady Franklin
bay and proceeded northward.
Nothing was heard of Greedy and
his followers for some time, and then
reports were received at the war and
navy departments, that the party
were in distress. An expedition
was Immediately sent for their re-
lief, which was compelled to return
without accomplishing its purpose,
or even being able to obtain any
reliable information in regard to the
fate and whereabouts of the missing
party.
The details Of the organization
and equipment of the present ex-
petition by Congressional action are
fully known TO our readers. We
publish an excellent likeness of
Lieutenant Greedy, who was born
in Massachusetts,, and is about forty
years of age. He is not grduate
of any of the military academies,
and he entered the war as q private.
His military record is highly hon
orable. From private he was pro-
NOTED to corporal first seargent in
Company B. of the Nineteenth
Massachusetts Infantry. On the
18th of March, 1863, he was made
Second Lieutenant in the Eighty
first U. S. colored Infantry and in
April, 1864, he was promoted to
First Lieutenant. He was breveted
Major on the 18th of March, 1865,
for " faithful and meritorious SER
vice." He was made captain of the
Eighty-frst Colored Infantry on the
4th of April, 1865, and on the 22nd
of March, 1867, he was honorably
mustered out.
Upon the reorganization in 1869,
he was assigned to the Fifth Cavalry,
and became First Lieutenant in
1868, which is his present rank.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1884-05-09

The Democrat believes that the
coming struggle between the two
great political parties will be death
struggle. The people in the cleo
tons of 1882 by their ballots de-
clared that they were weary Of the
professions of the republican party;
that it had fallen from its high estate
as the recognized champion Of
human rights, and had become an
organization of office holders and
ofioc-oeekers, an apologist for hui
man wrongs, unworthy of longer
continuance in power. The declara-
ton was so strong and positive that
no one could fail to read It's mean
ing. The people triumphed over
the politicians. The revolution was
complete. The democrats were
placed in control of nearly every
state in which elections were held
and given a large majority in the
lower house of congress. 1t was q
peoples victory. The democrats
were not returned to power for what
they had done, but in the hope and
expectation that they would read
Alright the judgment passed upon
their opponents and set about to
reform the abuses in the admins
tration of the affairs of government
The majority of the democrats in
congress, although opposed on the
one hand by the republicans, and
on the other hand by a minority
of their own members have so far
shown determination to carry out
the will of the people so clearly
expressed in their election. But the
ordeal is yet to come. The test is vet
to be applied which will determine
whether in the mortal combat which
is soon to take place between the
parties, the democratic party will
prove the victor. This test is the
nomination of the presidential ticket
and the setting forth of the princi-
pies by which the party is to be
guided. If in this work the DEM
ocratic party shall prove itself to be
animated by larger purposes and
far higher aims than control the re-
publican part of to-day, it can enter
the contest confident of success. And
it can do this only by refusing to
fight over dead issues of the past.
If it would turn the peoples victory
of 1882 into a democratic victory in
1854 it must become the champion
of the rights of the people. Great as
was the electoral fraud of 1867 it
must not be made the issue of 1884.
The demand for "the old ticket !"
indicates q desire to go back over
the past rather than determination
to prove equal to the demands of the
present and the future. The peo-
pie demand a reform of the civil
service. 1t is not enough to condemn
the abuses OF the appointing power
carried on by the republican party,
but democrats by their actions must
attest to their belief that govern
ment exists for larger and better
purposes than distributing the spoils
of office. The people demand re-
form of the tariff laws-a cutting
off of all unjust and unnecessary
taxation. The democratic party in
congress have begun this good work,
and it must be continued to the end.
The legalized robbery of protection
SO called must cease. The questions
of civil service reform and tariff re-
form must be made the vital issues
in the coming presidential campaign.
If the democratic party does moi
