Eiboeck reviews both German and English newspapers in the state regarding matters of interest to "liberal" German voters. Some German papers have endorsed the Anti-Monopoly party ticket, while others advise rejecting the party, which refused to include a saloon licensing plank in its platform. Additional columns concern German positions on woman suffrage and the Republican party.

<em>Iowa Staats-Anzeiger</em>: Unmasking a liar (<em>Ein Lügner blosgestellt</em>)
Eiboeck’s dispute with John P. Irish over saloon licensing at the Anti-Monopoly party convention; support of German voters; J.P. Stibolt, editor of the <em>Davenport Demokrat</em>; Frederick A. Gniffke, editor of the <em>Dubuque National-Demokrat</em>; Simeon Hotz? (co-owner of the Union Brewery in Iowa City); J.J. Hotz? (contractor and son-in-law of Louis Englert, founder of the City Brewery in Iowa City)
In reaction to a letter that John P. Irish had published in the German newspaper <em>Dubuque National-Demokrat</em>, which attacked Joseph Eiboeck's alledgedly insulting rhetoric in a speech at the Anti-Monopolist state convention in July 1874 in favor of including a license plank in the party platform, Eiboeck presents his version of events and defends his actions. In addition to a translation of an English-language declaration by leading citizens of Des Moines that Eiboeck did not use the language that Irish claimed, the article also contains a comparable statement by well-known German-Americans in Des Moines, including Conrad Beck, Eiboeck's predecessor as editor of the <em>Iowa Staats-Anzeiger</em>.
