One who in familiar with the lii.v orr of the .;ud:iliito:i t'.Hne.-.iu.i n Iowa cannotbut conclude that he matter should uevcribe'niade u ohtical inane. A few years wince he republican majority in Iowa Van nearly SO.orm. and while ttie ariy cxpcc.c.l to liw a f.u- tltous- ad members if it tdioutd make a elief in prohibition tent of party alty, it was not believed by any tat ::i Ier.3 Inati t?:t ears it would incapable of electing a einiile. ate ofTicer. lint bitch has been e r::-i!!l. vYilli lu-a'aibition a patty i; .uie it to obtain an hotted extension concernintr it that might be had otherwise, for the j fact that men dislike to fomtkc the : party in whose fundamental princi ples they believe nnd accept those of Home other party which they dislike and counider unjust, simply in order to vote for prohibition. A prominent Iowa democrat paid, in our hearing, recently: "I believe prohibition in a good thing and were I permitted to vote upon a proposition to amend the constitu tion, I i-lioiild favor it every time, but rather than vole the republican ticket I shall vote for license und lake my chances." Now since the republican party! in Iowa has undoubtedly lost over Oil,iJ votes on the prohibitory issue, how can any sensible man believe for a moment that there is any hope for the prohibition party to aliain an)- prominence on that' ijstic? The parly can never accoin-' pli.-!i anything with that the para- mount issue. An observer of the situation in Iowa cannot but con clude that to establish c-llectivc prohibition ami provide for its per manency the vote should be taken upon a proposition to amend the constitution. Then men could slep to the poll and vote "for' or "against" and not for a moment sacrifice their parly belief. IOWA REPUBLICANS AND PROHIBI TION. In the rc-eleciiou of Gov. Hoies of lo.va the enemies of the present prohibitory law claim that the peo ple h ive demanded its repeal. We nre not prepared to say what would be tin; d.'cisionof the voters of Iowa were they periuiited to again vote upon a-proposition to amend the constitution, l,u t in ollf judgment tlio time has arrived that the repub lican party should cease to make it a party issue. In the event that it does not take thin course, there in little hope that Iowa will ever again be included iu the republican ranks. After the constitutional fitmend uient. which carried by ;i(),0:)i) major- ity, had been declared iiuconstiiii- lio.ial, the pat ty, true to the princi ple upon which our irovernnietit in founded, argued that tlr majority should rule, and that their demand should be res-i'-cled. Th.-i! 'ti.i.-;v having complete cou.rol of the ex", ecutive and legislative branches of the lawJsnakhigdepartnieiit, accord ingly, in ISst, enacted a statutory aw embodying essentially the fame declarations proposed in the amendment. The republicans at thin time had a majority of over :iO,(XX) in the state. The demnernta at the very next election'declared for license und ut every suhsenuent election the prohibition question huh ueen me all-abnorbinir issue. The result has been that prohibi tion has not been fairly tested. owing to the open and avowed hostility toward the law manifested oy the democratic party. That party has argued that itn enforce- ment would add to the Iprobab.i';. tien of republican (success and rather than endeavoring to enforce it they have iu many instances en couraged its violation. IScsidesj other ineonlrovertable evidences of this action.it is .1 s;i.vn;:;.vi..i t .... ! i- " .1 1 that nine-teiilhs of the ciiien and towns in which -saloons run openly, the municipal ohicern are demo cratic. It is evident, also, that aa long as thin question remains a parly issue, it will never receive the support o4 its friendn that in justly due. There nre thousands of democrats in Iowa that would favor the law wi re they not required to sacrifice their demo cratic principles in order to i.n- prove the law. The duty of the party is to resub mit me c.i. ,...!. i.t ;, ,1, 1 .,. j'.,. cotistititlion and permit men, re ta.dlesn of parly affiliations, to tep to the polls and vote ".or" or "against" the amendment. In choosinjr thin course th party can not be accused of belr.i) ing a trust, ir it In exhibit it has . lot everything by the issue and gained nothing; nciilier can it be said that their ncliou will continue to further jeopardise the permanency of the law because it is almost certain, in the event that the democratic bat teries we. aimed nt it two year? longer, that a legislature will be chosen that will repeal the law, and cuact perfectly oue satisfactory to the Sjiloo-i element.

It wan openly asserted before election that the republican party wan dead, but it in now admitted to have been a very lively corpse. TllK verdict rendered at the polls i 1 Nebraska last Tuesday, indicates that the people question the ability otl'ie independent more to make them a' I r'ch. Somb one migarestH that Judge Post should tender Mr. Hitchcock hirt" first year's salary, an a remun eration for assistance rendered during the campaign just closed. The republican policy for 1832 will be continuation of the repub lican policy iu the recent Ohio cam paign. The democrats may as well begin to prepare their slate. The democrats deserve credit for being better schemers in finding political capital for local elections but the republicans have the ad vantage on national issues. Now that the all ance has gone out of politics in Nebraska and K.insis, the organization wi'l prob ably be of good service to the fa mern of the northwes!. Tins, democratic papers that stooped so low as to support Kd- g?rlon are not entitled ti the sytn pathy of the people it matters uol how much they feel in need of it. IT would be no more than just for Judge Post to pay the expens; in curred by the World-Herald corres pondent while he was preparing campaign literature that evidently assisted so materially in Ins elec tion. IN everyjnori hern slate in which the republicans were defeated local issues were the stumbling block. la 1WJ the canvas will be conducted on national issues, and they will fall in line with Ohio. TllG republicans feel hopeful that the democrats will inlrodm-.. otherJMills iu congress the coming winter. Of course the oil bill would serve au a good target for the republican batteriesbut we should prefer the very latest.

The iaci is the people are voting in the interests of America. iMMKmATKtY after the World Her aid Hopped for Kdgerlon, thejournal at once accused Mr. Hitchcock of ag to the dogs." I-i a few dr.ys, the democratic nominee withdrew and our esteemed contemporary had to either go republican or go "to the dogs" also and it chose the latter course. It is thought highly probable that e're thii the Journal jsts ha become tired of canine as sociation nnd henceforth will pre fer to seek better company. Govckok Hoiks was re-elected by a lavish expenditure of "boo:ile," fraud :lon. votiaj by repent in- aa I other illegal menus, the prejudice of railway employes in regard to the railroad legislation of recent years, the betrayal of the honest republicans who voted the people's party Ixket in good faith and did not realize that their new party was unlilized wholly ns a trap to catch republican voters and iu which nearly every democrat was only a stool pigeon for democracy and voted the democratic ticket on elec tion day, and those indenrndent republicans who voted for Cover norlloieato again voice their op position to prohibition. Iowa State Uegister. Il' every republican in the '.ounty had stood by the ticket nominated, every candidate would have been elected. TllK IIkkad plead with the voters to stand by the nominees of the convention, and while it re joices that there were fewer weak kneed republicans than heretofore, it regrets that the advice wan not even most generally heeded. Kverv candidate 011 the republican ticket wan cho.-cn because of his fitness for the place and each were worthy full party mipport. Doubtless per sonal grievance entered somewhat in the canvass and efleclcd the re sult. It wan evident too that the sectional fueling, that has been ex isting for some time, still prevailed to some extent. It is hoped here after that the republicans will stand by the party nominees and lay aside nil sectional feeling, to the end that intelligence nnd good judgement shall characterize the result rather than selfishness and jealousy. WHY THEY SMILE. A great many people iu Nebraska City are indulging in a quiet, yet hearty smile at the expense of young Mr. Uryan ol Lancaster county, who will be remembered by some as the talkative young man who received a small plurality in this district nbout a year ago for member of congress. Mr. Uryan was the particular star of the last great (?) democratic rally held in this city on the Saturday night pre ceding the election just held. To the surprise of the old time demo crats present, Mr. Uryan, in his talk of an hour or mote, totally ignored state issues and confined himself entirely to a most pathetic pl.-i for his particular friend, Mr. Hoydstou, making it almost a personal matter and pleading with the voters to stay with Hoydstou on his account. The result is what creates the afore said smile on the beaming counte nance of the average resident of our charming city. Mr. Doydstoii, otherwise popular, was the only candidate on his ticket, with one uuimportant exception, who was beaten, and third in the race at that. We cordially invite Mr. Ury an to help us in the ne:U campaign, and hereby present him with the freedom of the city and county in a jeweled casket. Nebraska City Tress. MAJOR-COVSnNOrc M'KINLEY There in no man in America of whom so much ban been said during tit- pasl y. ar :m 1 who to day occupies ni proml.uml a place in the thoughts of the American people as C.i.eru r McKinley. From the day upon which he made the speech introducing the tariff bill his name has been utmost a household word. Last fall when the judgment of the people, an evidenced by their decision at the polls, appealed to be against the measure, and when many weak republicans said th;ii the bill had defeated the republican party, the gallant, sincere, courage ous Major stood boldly out and demanded 11 fair trial r.f ta,. i-..., It was not three months l.i-for,. :i bearficieiil res. tits been. tie appar ent, and since then it has gradually grown in popular favor.
