Herman Strub possesses a. curiosity

feathers, one on the tip of each wing.

IN DEFENSE OF THE GOVERNOR.
[Algona Republican,
The Republican can not quite under
stand the occasion for the attacks upon
Governor Shaw with which the press
OF the state is at present teeming in
connection with the discussion Of the.
senatorial succession. Governor Shaw
has said nothing nor done nothing one
way or another in relation to that sub
5ect. The fact that he aspres to the
Office of senator is no more discredita.
BILE to him than such allowable ambi>
tion is to Cummirs or any other man.
The several schemes by which the Gov
ernor might take an advantage over his
competitors appear to have Matched in
other mems minds rather than in his.
own. II. Governor Shaw could justify
the expedients so widely discussed to.
his own sense of. honor and fitness they
would be populated by his judgment.
This attack upon he governor of Iowa.
as man without fairness or brains is
inexcusable.
