rounds Of the prees, and second In the List is
the rame OF lows It Is an honor, duly ap-
precihted, to be 60 young sod 80 near tho
head; bnt We dispute with Ohio her right to
head that column. Ohio did noble work in
rolling up huge majority for John Brough,
hut Iowa has done better! And herein Is the
proof: Ascertain the number Of votes cast In
each State, and the 1ua}oritics for Brough and
Stone, respectively, and in proportion to the
number Of votes cast In their respective
States, our gallant standard-bearer, Colonel
William N. stone, Is q little ahead Of John
Brough! And to beat the man who best VAL
1andigham one hundred Thousand votes, Ia
little matter which your correspondent claims
should be properly credited. Another tact
should be remembered and have It's weight In
deciding which State is entitled to the first
place In the loyal column. It Is this: In
Ohio the enemy presented q bold front, nc.
