In 1864 Abraham Lincoln was re-nomi- nated by the Republicans; associated with him on the ticket was Andrew Johnson, the Union Governor of Tennessee. The Democrats put in nomination Gen. George B. McClellan for the presidency, and George H. Pendleton, of Ohio, for the vice-presidency. The Republicans of Iowa held a convention at DesMoines, July 7, and adopted a platform confirm- ing the re-nomination of Abraham Lin coln, paying high tributes of praise to the loyal soldiers and soldiers' wives who were daily making sacrifices that the Union might be saved. The Democratic State convention met at Des Moines, July 16, selected a State ticket, but adopted no platform. A peace convention, however, was held at Iowa City, August 24, which
adopted resolutions denouncing the war and its further support, and rejecting the equality of the negro with the wlrite man. This was the darkest period of the war, and although the feeling was intense, yet it was not manifested so much in the campaign as usual.
In Cass county there was no material increase in the vote, which amounted to a total of 342. On all National and State officers the party lines were strictly drawn, the majority of each standing in every case, at fifty-two in favor of the Republican nominee. For clerk of courts, William Waddell had no opposition, and polled one hundred and thirty-seven votes Henry Temple, nominee for recorder, David A Barnett, county judge, and II. Dennison, on the Republican ticket were all elected.
The Republicans were first in the field in 1865, meeting in convention at Des Moines, June 14, nominating a ticket and adopting a platform. The Union Anti- Negro Suffrage party met at the capital, August 23, and nominated a ticket, and adopted a platform in which they endorsed the administration of Andrew Johnson ; that they were opposed to negro suffrage; that the soldiers of the late war deserved well of their countrymen, and that their sympathies were with them, The Demo- crats met in convention the same day, but made no nominations, the party support- ing the Soldiers' ticket, as it was known.
Not much interest was taken in the cam- paign in Cass county, except on local offi- ces. The total vote polled was three bun- dred and eighty two. Both parties, in local politics, had full tickets in the field. D. A. Barnett was elected county judge ; Wilkins Warwick, treasurer; V. M. Brad- -

shaw, sheriff; Albert Wakefield, surveyor; by small majorities ranging from thirteen upwards.
The campaign of 1866 was fought on tl.e issue of reconstruction in the southern States. The Republicans in convention resolved that the people who subdued the rebellion, and their representatives in Congress, had the right to re-organize the States that had been in the rebellion. This was denied by some of the Repub- licans and the entire Democratic party. The conservative Republicans, or those who were opposed to congressional action, met in convention and nominated a State ticket. The Democratic convention adopt- ed a platform, nominated two candidates, and resolved to support the ticket of the conservatives. The Republican State offi- cers received a majority of seventy-nine in this county. The Republican county ticket was elected by a trifle larger ma- jority. The total vote was about four hundred.
The general issues dividing the parties in 1867 were about the same as in 1866. In this county the Republicans were vic- torious.
The year 1868 brought with it another presidential campaign. The Republican National Convention met at Chicago, and placed in nomination Ulysses S. Grant, the victorious Union general, associating with him Schuyler Colfax of Indiana. The Democratic National convention nomi- nated Horatio Seymour and Francis P. Blair, Jr., for president and vice-presi- dent. The financial question began to be a leading issue, especially with reference to the payment of the bonds in coin or greenbacks, the republicans favoring the
payment in coin, the democrats opposing. The latter also, by resolution, favored the abolition of the national banking system, and the substitution of United States notes for those of national banks. This was opposed by the republicans.
The campaigns of 1868, 1870, and 1871; were devoid of much interest, and were but repetitions of the results of previous years, as a glance at the official vote in this chapter will show.
In 1872, the movement known as the liberal republican had a large influence, politically, having virtually dictated the democratic nomination for the presidency, and the platform of principles on which the campaign against the Republican party was dictated. The Liberal Republicans were those connected with the Republican party who were opposed to any extreme measure in the reconstruction of the South- ern States, and who believed the time had come when past issues should be for- gotten, and new issues formed; that the hand of reconciliation should be offered the South, and a united country, working together to build up the waste places of the South. Many of the most able men of the Republican party, including Horace Greeley, Charles Sumner, Lyman Trum- bull, John M. Palmer and others, united in this movement. In May, a National Convention was held by the Liberal Re- publicans, in Cincinnati, which nominated Horace Greeley for president and B. Gratz .Brown for vice-president. The following is a synopsis of the resolutions adopted:
1. Equality of all men before the law; equal and exact justice to all, without re- gard to race, color or previous condition.
327
HISTORY OF CASS COUNTY.
2. Opposition to the re-opening of all questions settled by the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the constitution.
3. Demand for the immediate and ab- solute removal of all disabilities imposed on account of the rebellion.
.4. Local self-government; supremacy of the civil over the military, and demand for the largest individual liberty cousist- ent with public order.
5. Denunciation of the existing sys- tem of civil service.
6, Demand for a system of federal taxation which should not unnecessarily interfere with the industries of the peo- ple; reference of the tariff to the congress- ional districts.
7. Demand for civil service reform, and for the election of president for a single term only.
8. Maintenance of public credit and denunciation of repudiation.
9. A speedy return to specie payment.
10. Thanks to the citizen soldiers and sailors of the republic.
11. Opposition to further grants to railroads.
12. Cultivation of friendship with all nations; regarding alike dishonorable, either to demand what is not right or to submit to what is wrong.
The Democracy in convention ratified the nomination of Greeley and Brown and adopted the platform of the Liberal Re- publieans. The Republicans re-nomin- ated President Grant, and associated with him on the ticket Henry Wilson, of Massa- chusetts, for vice-president. The dis- affection among the Democrats in conse- quence of the nomination of Ilorace Greeley, a life-long political enemy, was
so great that a third ticket was nomin- ated, at the head of which was Charles O'Connor, the distinguished lawyer of New York. The Democrats and Liberal Republicans met in State convention and nominated a ticket composed of two Dem- ocrats and three Liberal Republicans, and passed a resolution endorsing the nomin- ation of Greeley. The Liberal ticket in this county did not meet with much en- couragement, the vote given it being only that number usually polled by the Demo- cratic nominees. The Republican nomi- nee for the presidency, received 998 votes in Cass county, out of a total vote of 1,200. On county officers th emajorities on the Republican ticket, ranged from 750 to 800.
The question of Capitol vs. Labor en- gaged the attention of the people in 1873. The Republican State Convention met at Des Moines June 25, and after nominating candidates, adopted resolu- tions declaring against monopolies, and urging the restriction, by the State and the several States of the powers of the railroads and other corporations. The Democrats made no nominations, but favored the anti monopoly movement gen- eral. A convention was held at Des Moines, August 12th, whichi nominated candidates and adopted resolutions, in which was denounced the old party or- ganizations as corrupt and no longer use- ful in live issues, and deplored the chi- canery in government affairs. The latter ticket drew quite a vote in this county, having cast 427 for the office of governor. The Republicans, for the same office, polled 866. Quite a spirited contest took place in the trial for the position for

HISTORY OF CASS COUNTY.
State senator from this, the seventeenth senatorial district, and Lafayette Young, the Republican nominee, was both, through his party being the dominant one, and his personal popularity, elected with a hand- some majority of 343, over his opponent.
In 1874 the issues were the same as in the previous year, and the anti monopo- lists made a gallant fight in this State, but were defeated.
A convention was called to meet at Des Monies, June 24, 1875, to be com- posed of Democrats, Anti-monopolists and Liberal Republicans. Assembling,a ticket was nominated, headed by Shepherd Leffler, for governor, and a platform of principles adopted, covering the grounds of belief of the three elements repre- sented. The Republicans met in conven- tion and nominated S. J. Kirkwood for governor. A temperance convention was, also l:eld, and Rev. John II. Lozier nomi- nated for governor.
The election in 1876 was for National, State and County officers. Rutherford B. Hlayes and William A. Wheeler were the Republican candidates for president and vice-president; while Samuel J. Tilden and Thomas A. Hendricks received the nomination of the Democratic party for the same offices. Peter Cooper was the nominee of the Independent party, or Greenbackers, for president. The hard times which began in 1873 had a percept- ible effect upon this campaign. The Democratic party, which for some years had been acting upon the defensive, when not allied with some other political body, now assumed the aggressive, and ander the banner of "Tilden and Reform," forced the Republicans in the defensive.'
On the part of the Democrats the cam- paign was boldly conducted. In this State the Greenbackers held two conven- tions, at the first of which they adopted a platform containing their principal tenets. The Republicans adopted as a platform substantially the following points: "Unity of the Nation; 2, econo- my in the administration of the govern- ment; 3, a currency convertable with coin; 4, all railway and other corporations to be subject to the law-making power. The Democrats adopted but a single reso- Intion approving the platform of the Na- tional Democratic Convention and the nomination of Tilden and IIendricks. The Independents, or Greenbackers, also put in nomination a State ticket.
In county affairs there was no special interest attached to the campaign, although both parties had regular tickets in the field. The Republicans were successful by majorities ranging over 600.
The question of erecting a court house, was one of the leading topics of this elec- tion, and owing to local feeling was de- feated by a vote of 2,020 to 606.
In 1877 State tickets were nominated by Democrats, Republicans, Greenbackers and Prohibitionists. In Cass county the Republicans were successful by large majorities on all officers except for treas- urer,to which office the Democratic candi- date, John P. Gerbrich was elected by a majority of 31.
In 1878 State tickets were nominated by Greenbackers, Democrats and Republi- cans. Subsequently a fusion was effected by the Democrats and Greenbackers and a portion of the nominees of each of their State tickets were chosen as the choice of

both parties. On the State ticket, Cass county gave the Republicans a majority of about 450. The Republican county officers were also elected without much effort. The question of buying a county poor farm was voted down.
The campaign of 1879 was opened May 12, by the Democracy meeting in conven- tion and nominating a State ticket, headed by II. H. Trimble for governor. Alengthy platform was adopted. The Greenbackers were next in the field, their ticket being headed by Daniel Campbell for governor. The Republicans met and nominated John H. Gear for governor, together with a full State ticket. Lastly, the Prohibitionists met and placed in nomination George T. Carpenter, of Mahaska, for governor. Mr. Carpenter declining, D. R. Dungan, of Eldora, was substituted. The Republi- cans nominated a straight ticket, while the opposition combined upon a "Peo- ple's State Ticket," composed of inde- pendent Republicans, Greenbackers and Democrats.
There were three tickets in the field for the county offices. Oll. Coomes, of this county, was elected representative; Wil- liam Waddell, treasurer; William Cris- man, auditor; L. F. Mullins, sheriff; R. HI. Frost, superintendent of schools, on the Republican ticket.
The general campaign for 1880 began quite early, especially among the aspirants for office and their friends. The prelim- inary canvass for the nomination grew quite warm, as both Republicans and Dem- ocrats were alike confident that they would succeed in the national struggle. James A. Garfield received the Republi- can nomination for president. Winfield
S. IIancock was chosen to lead the Democ- racy. Gen. James B. Weaver was nomi- nated by the Greenbackers. The canvass was pushed with vigor, the Democratic and Republican parties using their utmost en- deavors to be successful. The national Greenback party, under the lead of Weaver, also endeavored to increase its votes, Mr. Weaver making speeches in more than half the States of the Union. The first State convention held in Iowa this year was by the Republicans, at Des Moines, April 7th. The platform adopted consisted of three resolutions, the first demanding that the candidates nominated at Chicago by the National Republican Convention, should be of national reputation for ability; sec- ond, that James G. Blaine be the choice of the republicans of the State, and third, instructing the delegates to the national convention to vote for Blaine. The Green- backers met at Des Moines, May 11, and adopted a platform re-asserting their de- mands for the abolition of the national banks, the reduction of the army, the lim- itation of Chinese immigration, the reduc- tion of salaries, and the payment of the national debt in greenbacks. The Demo- crats met at Des Moines, September 2, nominated a ticket, and adopted a plat- form endorsing IIancock and English, and the national platform adopted at Cincin- nati. In this county the Republicans car- ried the State ticket by a majority of 735. The entire vote polled was about 3,731.
On the 21st of December. 1880, a spe- cial election was held in Cass county, on the question of building a court house. The board of supervisors of the county submitted to the qualification of the elec- tors of the county the following questions:
330
HISTORY OF CASS COUNTY.
Shall, or shall we not build a court house at Atlantic, Cass county, at an expense not to exceed fifty thousand dollars? Shall the county issue fifty thousand dollars in bonds to pay for the same? Shall a tax of one and one-half mills on the dollar be levied on the taxable property of the county, each year to provide a fund to pay the bonds and provide for the payment of the interest thereon. A strong contest was the result, but the friends of the measure carried it by the handsome ma- jority of 513, in a total vote of 3,481.
The election for 1881 was for State and county officers, and the three leading par- ties had tickets in the field. In Cass county, the vote on governor stood: Bu- ren R. Sherman, 1,640; L. G. Kinne, 840; D. M. Clark, 285. William Waddell, county treasurer; William Crisman, audi- tor; L. F. Wullins, sheriff, and R. II. Frost,all Republicans, were elected to their respective offices, that political party sweep- ing the field.
At the special election of June 27, 1882, on the adoption of an amendment to the State constitution, prohibiting the sale of any intoxicating liquors, including ale, wine and beer within the State, the vote in Cass county stood: For the amend- ment, 1,826; against the amendment, 1,- 728.
In 1882, the election was for State and county officers. The contest was a warm one and the vote stood as follows: W. II. M. Pusey, Democratic candidate for congressman, received 1,493 votes; A. R. Anderson, Republican, 1,417; J. B. IIatton, Greenbacker, 475. On county offices the majorities in favor of the regular Republi- can nominees averaged about 315.
The campaign of 1883, was probably the best managed by both parties, of any for the last twenty years. The Republi- can State Convention that met at Des Moines, adopted as a leading feature of the platform the prohibition movement, and the enforcement of it. This the Dem- ocratic party took exception to, alleging it a breach of our rights and liberties as freemen. On this issue was the contest. Buren R. Sherman was chosen as the lead- er of the Republican cohorts, while L. G. Kinne, of Tama county, led the Demo- cratic forces. Long and hard was the conflict, but the Republicans gained the day, by a bare majority in the State. In Cass county the vote on governor stood: B. R. Sherman, Republican, 2,018; L. G. Kinne, Democrat, 1,405; J. B. Weaver, Greenbacker, 375. The full Republican ticket, on county officers was also elected.
