INWl Is dLL RIGHT.

The democratic party stimulated its
hope of success by placing Iowa in the
doubtful column and for substantiation
pointed to the low majorities of recent
years. Their orators appealed to the
peoples prejudice and tried to create
dissatisfaction by picturing degraded
condition, That picture, lateley graph

by the farmer is taxed, shaded by the

independently and they cogitated upon

tectiye system, they anticipated pros.
rectiye blessings If the policy Is con.

lr is quite evident that republicans

themselves III the fictitious and vapOr-
Gus virtue peculiar to that class and
voted for the man whose star of destiny
proved to be one term affair, or like the
''hamp of life" proved fatal to it's pro-
tege in the instance OF the second APP

are now at sea. The defeated party
tickled them for their votes, despise

THE PRESIDENT ELECT

The personal character and princi-
pie of men of moment is seldom well
known to the great body of the people
and so it WAS that prior to his nominal
ton Gen. BENZ. Ilarrison's character
was not fully appreciated. But cir
cumstances were never so favorable to
the cultivation of acquaintance between
the people and candidate as during
the late campaign and the president
elect made the most of these advant-
ages. No candidate ever did SO much
and such effective work to enhance the
interests of himself and party. Almost
daily he made one or two declarations
of principle and the telegraph carried
his utterances to all parts of the Union,
so that on the following morning they
were read and studied by the millions
and were considered of such value that
they were oftentimes laid aside for flu
ture reference. His metal was severely
tested by fOnr months of daily speech
making and yet it is not recorded that
in any instance did he fall below the
dignity of faithful, unpresuming and
intelligent exponent of the principles of
the republican, party. 1t is not record
cd that he said aught against the op-
position unless it were contained in cpl
grammatic expression of burning truth
and III such manner as to impress itself
upon the mind Of the near or distant
auditor. While these declarations were
conservative they were yet vigorous
and uncOmpr0mising and denoted the
sturdy character and stamina of the
man, and it is Il tacit compliment to his
power and individuality that the people
now turn to these speeches to discern
the policy of the next administration.
1t is established beyond doubt that
Gen. llarr!eon is patriot in the grand.
est and broadcast aonse, In all the license
of the word by birth, education and
experience. He is thoroughly imbued
with the broad principles of statesman
ship and in considering public questions
will recognize the demands of the whole
people without regard to location or
previous condition, which scale ha S
been eliminated from political weights
for period Of four years. Those who
have been denied justice on account of
their faith anticipate the new admins
| trlt %
They look forward to the new era be
lieving that constitutional qualification:
will admit Territory to Statehood. A
man who protested against forcing ;
violation of an existing treaty upon ;
foreign nation will not do injustice t,
unfOrtunateS in his own beloved
country. Without parade of preten
sions or assumption of superior virtue
a wholesome reform will be instituted
in mismanaged departments. a lift
long student of practical political coon
Omy his administration will be true t.
the dominant principle of the campaign
and assure continued protection to la
Dor and invested capital. On all of tn
living issues Gen. Harrison is right an,
has sounded the key note of his admin
iStration. He commands the respec
and admiration of all men, regardless
of party, and so soon as the light clouds
of fractional disappointment have passet
away, all will rejoice because of TIN
triumph of a man so good and true.

The Union. 1t is, indeed, SIS the late
Clover Cleveland has said, an agricul.
tural state, but the agriculturists are
alive to their interests and know that
to secure the best results diversified in
terests must be closely associated, and
their expression in the late election is
significant.
The day of close elections in Iowa
has gone by and will remain sad and
aggravating memory in the minds of
democratic statisticians. The most has
been made of dissatisfaction with ex-
listing laws and that influence has been
found impotent to transfer the powers
to the minority party. The late cleo.
ton shows that large numbers who
have acted temporarily with the demo-
Gratis for personal reasons have come
back to the republican fold, and helped
to roll up the handsome plurality of
1858. The political principle of the
state is permanently republican.

Mr.. j. 5. CLARKSON Of Iowa, has been
one of the most efficient members Of
the national republican committee and
has reflected credit upon the republi-
canism of the IIawkeye state. Those
familiar with the management of af-
fairs state that Mr.. Clarkseu rendered
Chairman Quay his greatest aid in di.
recting the management, and was in
full control of headquarters for weeks
at time. Mr.. GARRISON is one of the
most aggressive republicans in the ma,
ton, and while lowans have been
proud of the eminence he has attained
it may be stated without prejudice that
his absence from Iowa was noticeable
during the late campaign.
