The republican canvass in that state was conducted distinetly upon the lines of Blaine bourbonism; the bloody shirt was made the party hanner, and all “loyal” tizens were 1mpiored to “vote as ‘they shot” against “‘the same old rebels.” Moreover, the opposition \didate for governor was proved to have been the most malignant sort of “‘copperhead” during the war, so that the issuc was perfectly clear-cuf. Besidoes, the fusion movement was so utterly devoid of principle that it was not deulated to win support on its merits, inally, Iowa is a State where the republicans have always held control, and where party spirit has always run Yet in the face of all these ad- for the republican bourboes, idate for governor came with hout 5,000 votes of being beaten opperhead”’ opponent, and - candid observers vy that th fusionists would have carried the day they had not made the mistake ~of declaring for low license cnse, and thus repelled votes which might otherwise have gone to them.
