ignorance of this phase of the politic
al situation in order to hold them
and the Democracy together? The
two parties are laboring together for
the same object—the overthrow of
the Republican party. Would the
Grangers be ashamed of their com

the Grangers be kept in ignorance in
order to keep them submissive?
The ftict is that the Anti-inonopo
Jy jouruals of Iowa, with the excep
tion of the Democratic antecedents,
treat their readers as did the slave
holders their slaves in ante-war
times. The Grangers are being mis
led and shamefully wronged by their
pretended friends. The real object
of the leaders is to impair the
strength of the Republican party in
order that they may through dema
goguery and deceit secure the offices
and the spoils. They dare not reveal
the inevitable fact that the Democ
racy is to come to the front, even iu
Iowa, after this year, and th&t the
Anti-Monopoly parly is to be spurn
ed by Democracy in the distribution
of the spoils. In the Presidential
campaign of 187G the Democracy will
have a candidate for President, and
will be thoroughly organized in evo

York City, known as the "Manhat

a national significance and import

and comment by almost every journ

letters and telegrams from the moht
prominent Democrats, in almost ev
ery State, who could not be present,
were received and read before the
meeting, expressing regrets that
they were unable to attend a meet
ing of such importance, declaring
their fidelity to the old party, and
predicting its future succes. It was
a grand reunion of the men now in
the lead of the Democratic party—
the only national party now opposed

Those Republicans who acted with

still acting with it under its hypo

leaders of the new party, while the
old party on the other side is taken
into full fellowship, petted and
praised. They find, if they will
take the trouble.to seek the truth,
that the new party is to be sacrificed
by its leaders for the benefit of tho
old Democratic party and the Re
publican accessions to the new party
are to have no alternative but to fol
low their leaders to the old Demo
cratic party or return to the Repub
lican party. They must eventually
choose.
Is
it not better to do so
now? or will they longer quietly
submit to the fraud being practiced
upon them, and give the Democracy
the beuefit of their services and influ
ence in another campaign? Let us
ask them what portion of the results
of victory did they receive last fall
in the division? Where are those
Republicans now who were elected
last year? Are they not found in re
ality in the Democratic fold, under
Democratic influences, and doing all
that men in their position can do to
build up and strengthen the Demo
cratic party? Whero shall we find
them when the Democratic party
refuses longer to even make pretense
of division?
Sure as the
year 1876 arrives,
tho
Democratic party will set up for
itself in business. Where then will
be tho boasted strength of the Grange
party? It will be a mere handful of
men without power or prestige, and
its members will stand between two
fires. With the aid of a mtyorily of
the Democratic party it is now able
to present an appearance of strength.
This appearance will be found to be
delusive and temporary, and the
party will be early shorn of its lau
rels. It will never bo able to reach
the reforms it seeks. Failure and
disintregalion are its doom.
Ciauzy Drniagogiicry.
We clip the following from a farm
paper:
The old rule
IN
vogue among
honest politicians of the olden time,
and which the farmers are now try
ing to recusitate, that the oliico
should seek tho man, and not tho
man the office, is as well adapted to
Grange iolities as any other."
Tho above is a slice of that mangy
dernagoguery with which tho couu
.tywJiaa been ailleied s4inca
tVvo
zation of the lifflnge. "*it "1ST "the
thinnest of cheap twaddle and doubt
less the above was written by some
aspiring politician who has been on
the scent of an office all his life. The
memory of man runneth not back
to the time when the offices were not
run down by aspirants, and no class
of men have ever joined more lustily
in tho chase than the farmers. If
an office be turned looso now as many
farmers will be found in the scramble
after it as any other class of men.
This cloak is too gauzy to cover the
dernagoguery of the men who wear
it, and while a few farmers may be
hood-winked, the majority of them
are too intelligent to bo gulled by
such nonsense. Give us a rest about
tho "honest farmer" and tho "down
trodden and oppressed tiller of the
soil." Farmers, as a class, are about
like the rest of humanity—no better
and no worse—and we know of no
party that knows better how to de
mand their rights than they. The
frantic efforts of aspiring politicians
to make the farmer believe that he is
a very much oppressed individual is
truly pitiful, and wo opine that
farmers who honor their calling en
tertain a very aUe-bodied contempt
for these self-constituted defenders
aud guardians. The JJawkeye's ad
vice to the farmers is to steer clear
of such political frinds.—Hawkeye.
The Republican Congressional Con
vention for this District was origin
ally called to meet at Ottumwa, July
15th, and the call has thus been pub
lished in many papers. A circular
from Capt. Fee, Chairman of the
Committee, has just been received
announcing a'change to the 10th in
consequence of tho meeting of tho
Anti-Monopoly Convention at the
same place on the day first named.
This relieves the Committee of any
shadow of odium that might have
been fastened upon it inconsequence
of the malicious charge made by Mr.
Loughridge'a special friends of the
Anti-Monop press, that the Com
mittee wanted to "chokeoff" Mr. L.
The Anti's have of late been praying
earnestly for their friend's nomina
tion. Our Committee has by this
change generously given to them an
op|ortunity to place the Quaker-In

The Anti's certainly need the ser
vices of a civilizer, and in thettP
camps Mr. L. would find a broa€
field for missionary labor. Whett'
the cruel Radicals kicked Mr. Grift*
nell out of their camp the Anti*#
took him in, and never failed to treat
him kindly. The exceedingly hiK'
mane disposition they manifest to
ward Mr. Loughtidge indicates that
they have buried the hatchet and
forgotten their eager yearning lor
his scalp less than two years ago.
And this show's that they are suscept
ible of civilization and that Mr. Grin-^
nell's labors among them have not
been entirely fruitless. Wo under
stand they are now even clamorous
for "Reform." If they want Mr.
Loughridge to assist in the work sp
gloriously inaugurated among the»
by Mr. Grinnell, by all meaus let
them manifest their desire when they
meet in council at Ottumwa netft
month. We should not turn a deaf
ear to the "cry from Macedonia."
At the heaI of this page apjears
the call for the Republican Conven
tion for this Congressional District.
Ottumwa is the place tmd July i(
the time. We shall now hope to
hear early and open confession from
thoso who aro willing to carry til®

hosts in tho campaign. Hon. E. S.
