Il might be inferred fFem our sdi-
torial yesterday morning that Ne had
bespoken for the people Of Iowa, two
Democratic Governor for the next
term. Thistle result Of an error in
the types-is not the case, for We shall
be perfectly satisfied with one Demo
crat in the Governors chair, and we
think the Democracy OF the State will
place one there despite Of any opposi-
ton. Our frat choice for that position
was Gen. Dodge, and there yet remeins
some doubt in our minds as to his po-
sition and total declension in case he
were here but it is now apparent that
he will not be here in time to accept,
and further, as = nomination must be
made soon, we must take leave Of our
first choice and take up the next best
man. That man we named yesterday
morning, and we hope that bis we'll
known name will head the Democratic
State ticket.
