EllWOOd Declines.

We publish this morning letter from
J. NJ. EIwood, Esq, to whom was ten
dered bv the Democratic State Central
Committee the nomination Of JUDI e Of
the Supreme Court, to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the declension Of Judge
Grant. The reasons given may be salts
factory to Mr.. Ellwood, but we cannot
say that they satisfy us. The matter
stands just here: the Democratic party
Of Iowa is minus candidate for the
Supreme Bench. Why! Let every
Democrat answer this question for him
self Its solution is not at all difficult.
There are two candidates for the
JudgesLip in the field-both are Re-
publcans-both equally obnoxious to US
in political point Of view. One, to be
sure, runs as "Indepcndcnt" aud asks
the sutfrages of everybody-Iemocrats,
Union men, Bell-Everett men, and Re
publlcans rs well the other is the
recognized candidate of the Opposition,
though, we presume, will not refuse TIE
votes of any citizen. The Democratic
press Of the State is left to choose
whether they will support the one or
the other, or none. We have chosen
our horn of the dilemma and shall stand
10y it. Others are fioo to 50 ~n1 do
likewise
