THE OLD SHIP Of STATE.

The Republican party of Iowa
have, liked the Republican party of
the nation, always managed the af-
fairs of this state on a successful
basis. The party has never betray-
ed a trust confined in her. she has
always been honest, manly and sim
cere with her constituents. 1t has
given US the wise laws that we are
now enjoying. There is not one
dollar of Indebtedness in Iowa to-
day; with a sufficient surplus in the
Treasury to meet current expenses
and we understand the taxes will be
reduced two mills on the dollar of
assessment from last year. The
republican party give US the excellent
common schools system we now have
in Iowa, with less than one per cent
of her people unable to read or
write, such is the proud record of
"The Old Ship of State" Can the
Democratic party point to Missouri
which is an older state than Iowa,
and under Democratic rule, and say
the same? No, no, facts say no.

an honest Conscientious gentleman,
serving the people promptly in the

a candidate for reelection to the

our present County Superintendent,
is asking for his second term and he
is no doubt we'll deserving, a friend
to the colored people. Than John

evening. The meeting was presided
over by Rev. T. w. White. After a
few remarks, he introduced the
speaker of the evening, Attorney John

first reviewing the changed condi-
tions of our country since we last
met, one year ago. He then paid a
glowing tribute to the progress of the
colored race after which he launched
out to discuss the present issues of
this campaign. He read a part Of
Geo. E. Taylor's letter, recently writ
ten to the Des Moines Leader, and
literally picked it to pieces. He was
loudly applauded throughout his
speech. The colored people of Coal.
field have only been here about nine
months, but they are doing well and
are satisfied. as they have plenty Of
work. There are about four colored
miners to one white miner here.
