If the Democratic spoilsmen imagine that
| the removal of Postmaster Pearson, of New
York, will strengthen their party in the
| canvass, let them turn him out. He is not
a Republican, and his retention in office is

| party.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

| to print the names of Democrats who in
various parts of the country, have, within

erous in the State of New Y York than else
| where"
| II am paid for my work by Democratic
| money, and l am doing what | am hired
and paid for-trying to hurt the Republi-
can party all can" This was the sub

| he was asked why he was talking anti Re

| time for Iowa Republicans 10 be stirring, and

| that in crisis like the present it is well to
sound the long roll that shall call every
man into line. While it is true that
Democracy in the nation is to-day on the
| defensive it is not true especially of Iowa
| and It's State affairs, and we cannot afford
any apathy to interfere with full muster
of the Republican forces on election day"
