The Fayette county Republican convention at West Union on July 20 1800 unanimously endorses J H Trewin of Allamakee as senator but instructs delegates to push Geo W Jamison as Fayette county’s next senator, seeking sister county recognition and support.
The letter criticizes West Union papers and details a Postville convention sequence in which J O Trewin was renominated for the 40th district state senate. It claims delegates defied instructions favoring Geo Jamison, calls the action a “counter trick” and labels the overall politics as discreditable juggling harming party support.
A collection of brief notes from Arlington, Elgin, West Union, and Port Dodge mentions reactions to the Republican convention, mispredictions by editorials about county politics, and upcoming fairs in Fayette County. It also reports narrowly escaped danger to the three Scott children near the river, and an intemperate worker in Eldora attempting self harm.
A compilation from Northeastern Iowa reports several tragic and dramatic events. F. M. Loughton near Nashua is badly injured after his harvester blade injures both legs. A Pomeroy farmer John Dirk dies after a fight with a Maddened bull, while Charles Wattles is found dead after dissipative living. Tuberculosis tests begin on Fort Dodge dairy herds with disputes over compensation and authority. A Winneshiek county arson case ends with Gullick Borsie jailed on murder and arson charges. The Fifty-first Iowa volunteer regiment plans to muster out of Luzon with a San Francisco mail delay noted, and a Republican ticket slate is announced with incumbent judges nominated.
