A WRITER from Cedar Rapids tc
the State Register suggests the
name Of r. G. Cousins for Attorney
General. This correspondent enters
no specific complaint against Mr.
Baker, the incumbent, who, under
common usage, is entitled to a sec
ond term, but as he has been in a
me asure connected with the Brown
Sherman affair thinks a change
would be salutary. Such must be
the inclination Of all who hope to
see the disagreeable matter closed
with the trial. Mr.. Baker is in no
wise implicated in the dissension,
but it is his misfortune that he held
official relations to the first steps in
the case. The party could not do
better than nominate Mr.. Cousins.
He is a young man of high legal
ability, as has been eminently attest
ed by his conduct as one of the man.
ayers of the late impeachment trial.
His argument commanded the admi-
ration and unstinted praise o: men Of
all parties, and was highly compli-
mentsd in the press reports. If he
would accept the nomination he
would conduct an aggressive cam.
paign and do work for the party
which would bring ample returns at
the polls. He has been an ardent
student of political history, an orator
who holds his audience in wrapt at
tention, and would present the is
sues of the campaign IN an interesting
and convincing manner. His abili-
ties and fitness for the Office are in
no wise open to question, and we
think the party would act wisely in
recognizing the young men of the
party in nominating Mr.. K. 6.
Cousins for the office of Attorney
General.

JUDGE HAYES candidacy for rep
resentative from the Second district
is assured by his having secured the
Clinton county delegation. The
democrats missed their opportunity
in not choosing for their candidate
Captain n. A. Merrill, who would
not have been as Objectionable to the
better elements as the sporting Judge
This being fully determined will
give the republicans a fair field
Hiram Price has been favorably
mentioned as possible republican
candidate, and if nominated would
no doubt receive the support of dem
ocrats who realize the insult heapec
upon them in the choice of Hayes
Mr.. Prices nomination, however, il
not by any means assured, but there
are a half-dozen other candidates
though none, we believe, so popular
and we'll known as the late Indiar

THE effort of the Democrats in
this congressional district to enlist
the organization OF Knights Of Labor
in the endeavor to elect their proba-
bic candidate, Col. Keatley, must
utterly fail or create discussion in
the ranks of the Knights, and if
they persist in prostltuting the order
for political purposes it must ulti-
mately cause disintegration. In this
instance it IS but piece of chicanery
on the part of shrewd politicians. 1t
is proposed without semblance of
excuse. 1t is a trick that should
bring its perpetrators into disrepute,
but the Republican Knights will
not be deceived thereby.

LAST winter Sherm Myers, pub

LAST winter Sherm Myers, pub,
Usher of the Anita Tribune, attended
revival meetings, and under that in
fluence concluded to mend his ways
He had espoused the cause of De-
mocracy, but since his return to the
straight and narrow path, his politi'
cal alliance has been the source OIL
increasing woiriment. 1t burdened
him by day and haunted him by
night. He felt that he could not
enjoy the comforts of clear con
science so long as the bane of de.
mocracy lowered over him. He
dreaded to denounce the bourbons for
fear of the Gliding of his political
friends. But under the relentless
lashings of his conscience, his body
dwindled to mere skeleton, and a
change became matter of necessity.
So Mr.. Myers has recently denounc
ed the democracy, and proudly taken
place in the republican ranks. His
paper is now alive with paragraphs
on the beauties of his new love, and
his heart is happy and joyous once
more. We infer that it was not for
worldly gain that he turned his coat,
for there was already staunch and
prosperous republican paper in that
corner OF Cass county, while the
Tribune was the only advocate of
democracy. Its a clear case Of con-
viction and we hope it will prove
contagious wherever MIR. Myres' in
fuence may spread.

MAJOR LYMAN, in arecent speech
upon the vetoed bills, in speaking
of the president said: "The present
accidental and temporary occupant
of the executive mansion, with I'M
exampled effrontery and apparently
boundless egotism. has taken it upon
himself to set at naught the will of
the people of this country, as ex-
pressed through their accredited
representatives in congress, by an
unprecedented use, or rather abuse,
of the vetopower, .. These so-called
veto messages are not the utterances
of patriot or a statesman. They
are rather the arguments of a cheap
pettifoger before an ignorant justice
of the peace, intent on winning his
case, at whatever cost ofhonor, truth
and integrity. l call attention tc
this to show the inconsistency Of the
ac..::ng president.-NonpareH.
