The Hawkeye, with the prying DISPOSE
ton for which its editor is notorious, has
discovered that Gen. Dodge has invested
but limited portion Of the pay received
by him as Delegate in iowa property.
This is most important discovery; and if
the editor will extendhis inquiries he may
possibly throw some additional light upon
the private concerns of the democratic
nominee. If Gen. Dodge has not invested
his means in Iowa property he has at least
paid his debts; and this fact, we appre-
hend, will not injure him in the estimation
Of the great mass of his fellow citizens, al
though It may with some Of his slanderers.
Mr.. Dodge came among us, in the fall Of
1888, laboring under great pecuniary
embarrassment nt-embarrassment resulting
not from any act Of his own, but from the
mismanagement Of those with whom he
had been associated in business---and it is
but about two years since that he was able
to relieve himself of the last payment on
this heavy debt. This we know, positive
ly; for the money hundred dol
la's-passed through the hands Of the ed
itor Of this paper. Had Gen. D. been
disposed to evade the payment ofthis debt
he might probably have done so; but he
chose to be honest, and discharged it as he
acquired The means.


Gen. Dodge and Mr.. Lowe have both
the right to appropriate whatever amount
Of means they may possess in such man.
ner as they may deem proper without be-
ing called upon BY the public to account
for the same. These are individual mat.
ters, which should not be called into ques.
ton; and the friends Of Mr.. Lowe mus,
be hard run indeed to resort to such means
to aid his cause. If more powerful argu.
ments cannot be urged against Gen. Dodge


he has nothing to fear.
