The Democratic State Convention of Iowa . . .

. . . is to meet at Des Moines, Thursday, June 17th, to nominate candidates for Secretary of State, and other officers.  “Lafayette” Jones and Clay Dean, a worthy pair of rebels are traversing the State as emissaries of Jeff. Davis, under the cloak of organizing the Democracy to respond to this call. – Chicago Trib.
