In 1877 State tickets were nominated by Democrats, Republicans, Greenbackers and Prohibitionists. In Tama county the Republicans were successful by large majorities on all officers except for sheriff, to which office the Democratic candidate, R. E. Austin, was elected by a majority of 130.
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, Tama county gave the Republicans a majori y of about 547. The Republi- can county officers were also elected with- out much effort.
The campaign of 1879 was opened May 12, by the Democracy meeting in conven- tion and nominating a State ticket, headed
434

by II. Il. Trimble for Governor. A
lengthy 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 HI. 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. In Tama county this was a warm campaign. The Republicans were victors by majorities ranging between 458 and 1,000.
The general campaign in 1880 began quite early, especially among aspirants for office, and their friends. The pre- liminary canvass for the nomination grew quite warm as both Republicans and Democrats were alike confident that they would succeed in the National struggle. James A. Garfield received the Republican nomination for Presi- dent, and associated with him on the ticket was Chester A. Arthur for Vice-President. Winfield S. Hancock was nominated for President by the Dem- ocrats, and with him was William II. En- glish for Vice-President. James B. Weaver and Gen. Chambers for President and Vice-President respectively, on the Na- tional or Greenbaek ticket. The canvass was pushed with vigor, the Democratie and Republican parties each using their utmost endeavors to be successful. The National party, under the lead of Weaver, also endeavored to increase its votes, Mr. Weaver making speeches in more than 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, tbat 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 Cinein- nati.
The Greenbackers in this county made no nominations this year, and for Presi- dent only polled about 193 votes, Garfield received 2712 votes in this county, and Ilancock 1096. The majority of the Re- publicans for county officers was from 1329 to 1372. The entire vote polled was 4004.
The election in 1881 was for State and county officers, and was devoid of much interest. The three leading parties had State tickets in the field. President Gar- field had been assassinated by Charles .I. Guiteau and Vice-President Artbur had been installed as the chief executive ; and this to some extent affected political matters. The Republicans carried Tama county by majorities of from 823 to 1,400, the latter being R. G. McIntire's majority

for Auditor. On the State ticket, Tama county had a representative in the person of llon. L. G. Kinne, who was Democratic candidate for Governor. He ran far ahead of his ticket in Tama county, reducing the majority of the Republican candidate to 823-much lower than that received by any other Republican candidate on the ticket.
The campaign of 1882 opened early, as it was for the election of State officers, Congressmen and General Assembly, members who were to elect IT. S. Sena- tors. Interest concentrated on the gener- al issues. Republican, Democratic and Greenback State tickets were in the field. The Greenbackers polled a very light vote. The Democratic campaign was probably better managed than has been a campaign in the past twenty years of Iowa's history. The official vote speaks for itself.
OFFICIAL VOTE.
Ilere is presented the official vote of every general election since the county was organized. One election was held prior to this, but it was for township officers while Tama county formed a part of Benton county. It is treated in another place. The politics of the differ- ent candidates is taken from the fact that they were at the time running upon the ticket indicated. The book from which the returns were obtained was resurrected from a dust heap, and is very dim and poorly written, so that where a name is mis-spelled it is due to the uncertainty of the record. Particulars regarding the officers elected and the peculiar features of the various campaigns will be found in other chapters.
ELECTION-MARCH 1858.
The record states that "the returns were made to Benton county, the following officers were elected: " Tallman Chase, County Judge ; John Huston, Prosecuting Attorney ; David D. Appelgate, Clerk of Courts ; Norman L. Osborn, Sheriff ; David F. Bruner and Anthony Wilkinson, were tied for School Fund Commissioner ; Wesley A. Daniel County Surveyor.
This election was for the temporary organization of the county. It was made permanent by the next election.
