HISTORY OF HARDIN COUNTY.


half the States in the Union. The first State Convention held in Iowa this year was by the Republicans, at DesMoines, April 7. The platform adopted consisted of three resolutions, the first demanding that candidates be nominated at Chicago by the National Republican Convention, of National reputation for ability; second, that James G. Blaine be the choice of the Republicans of the State, and third, in- structing delegates to the National Con- vention to vote for Blaine. The Green- backers met at DesMoines, May 11, and adopted a platform re-asserting their de- mands for the abolition of the National banks, the reduction of the army, the limitation of Chinese immigration, the reduction of salaries, and the payment of the National debt in greenbacks. The Democrats met at DesMoines, September 2, nominated a ticket, and adopted a plat- form endorsing Hancock and English, and the National platform adopted at Cincin- nati. The Greenbackers in this county made no nominations, and the vote polled by the party was much less than any pre- vious year. Garfield received a majority of 1,411 over Hancock and 1,296 over both Hancock and Weaver. The majority on county officers was from 1,513 to 1,618. The entire vote polled was 3, 152.


The election of 1881 was for State and county officers. The three leading parties had State tickets in the field. The oppo- sition to the Republicans, knowing the hopelessness of their cause in this county, polled a very light vote, E. M. Smith re- ceiving the largest number of votes of any candidate on their ticket, being 223. There was less than a two-fifth vote cast at the


election. The Republican majorities ranged from 887 to 998.
