Dek Hoon, Auk. l.-Whatwr doubt tt
neay be es to ?10 possibility of i .versing the enorE
??sTwlar party vote of this ?ate, the singularly ua|
atre spectacle of to-day cannot but confirm
encourage MM Literal faith. Cntil to
fcardly the mont sanguine BemUr ci the |
N?M hare ventured upon a certain o.iu
?I U?e poliueal tendency of the people, aside from
Marked determination of the Democrat*, who hav
?ae made the canee of Greelry and Brown their <
lewa with it? moderate radicalism, clings "with pe
ten** to the tradition of party, and know ihr tin?
aosl earnest Liberal? have at time* despaired of <;ui<
la* the slufg?jh tide to a revolution and reform. Then.
the IU' well persisted iu of denying the existence of LI
?1 ixiii in the remote counties, had produced a depres
aflcit. and there were honest men who came to-day fea
hat half the count ?-a would refuse repr?sent?t
jtfsxk the completely opposite result. No Convent
aowever regular it be, could present equally eomr
delegations. Iowa seldom varies fiCT Republican
?erity, and It remained with the gathering of to-da
ndieatc the ratio of dissection in the several eoiinl
aud loshow that many of the 40.000 majority nt tin
?lection have Joined bands with the Lib?rai?, it
?hown that of that 40.000 at least lS.nr* Germans w?
all out -&,ooe of them Democrat?, and the reman
?-?publicans. The concurrent evidence of
nemuers further proves th3t local canses t
pe rated in many populous localities to change
??oiitical currant, and that aside from its intxi
bu rit or strength the Liberal tirket will receive ni
>coted ace? ??ion froui unsuspected quarters. More t
this, it has shown that the letter of Mr. Sum:
?there it has come into the hands of the c
aaratively few colored voters of this ft;
ha* worked a surprising revolution in t
direction, and that it is an indisputable fact that
?runt party count without the facts in assuming
olored vote en mas?1. Another point brought m <
?< nee m the free aud friendly interchange of the t
. volitions wax that the Baltimore action of
vmocraoy gave Liberalism an impetus of e\
marked endurance than the Cincinn
invention. Distrust, it kj s.hown, is now giving pli
o a hearty admiration for the conciliatory work of t
two great parties, and is succeeded by an equally eaj
?puIt of anxiety to Join hands in the amiable temp.
i. that word alone?" Conciliation." The friends of 1
orm mean to make battle, and tbe leading men of t
.?arty resent hotly any |mM tt.at Iowa will tai
Vbmd Indiana. Illinois, and Minnesota in the n<
reformation. Bo w ith her head men In council and 1
remoter hamlets represented, Iowa < lamm through I
?cost tntell.gent spokesman the forbearance of tb<
who doubt, and the succot of those who wish well
jiauonul reform.
