letter Of Gongratulation, In which he
promised him bis support in the election.
He aaid they wonid nominate no candi-

The Democratic and Greenback State
centrIl committees of Iowa have held 8
secret session and decided to make o
fusion on the electoral ticket, tho Green
backers taking six and the Democrats
seven of tho candidates for electors.
This action of the Democrats Of Iowa
deserves defeat for them. There is Tio
principle in combining With the adyo.

The canvass before the primary cleo

LraENcER has been used to prevent the
canvass from being taken up with these
issues, bit Tho candidates have seen fit
largely to confine themselves to them.
We hope, however, that the voters of the
County will not be controlled by the
views of any man on these matters, but
select the four best men who are named
for the position. It must be remembered
that the men who represent Anderson
County will have to vote on all queutions
that come before the Legislature. They
mi"bt vote 10 suit the people on the
:ger5ity and the Canal, but at the
sane time vote contrsTy to tho wishes Of
tho County on oil other important mat

beun discussed. No one knows, however,
aow :hey would vote upon bill to pun
ish the violation of agricultural contracts,
or bill to complete the State House, or
to refund the State debt, or to improve
our methods of collecting taxes and
assessing property, or to improve our
road law, or to put County conyicts to
work upon our roads and streete, or to
provide system by which our taxes
could be collected in the Fall, thereby
saving the FIVE per cent penalty and the
trouble of the Spring collection, or to

enriching private persons by hiring them
to individuals to compete with honest
labor, or upon propositions to rails. the
salaries of our public officers, or to enact

road law, or any other matter of equal
Importance. Our people, therefore,
must see that it Is folly to elect any man
because he win vote yes or no upon any
two measures. Our interests are too
great to be thus staked on single ques-

Our people, we are aure, will not commit
