nDMiNAllON ACCEPTED.

The McGreeor correspondent OF the
Chicago Times states that Hon. Matunn
L. Fisher, the Democratic candidate tor
Governor, has decided to accept the
nomination, and predicts that he Will be
elected. That is very Likely, but It not
hes, 10 take too much for granted. lie
will doubtless be cleo ed II the democrA.
re Of Iowa. and the entire democracy
do their duty. The least inactivity ID
any section of the State among our dem
ocratic friends, imperils his chances OF
success. The maj ,riy must necessarily
be small when all is done that can he
done. so that if any failure occurs 10 any
district, county or town, to bring out the
entire force, the scale will in all human
probability fall upon the wrong side.
How important it is, then, that every
effort be put forth for q 'ho'ongh and
systematic organization, and astr'ct can
vass OF the State. How important that
the democracy in every town enroll
themselves and holl frequent meetings
and consult atoms that not particle Of
strength be Lost. Our friends in the small
precin,s must not wait until public
sneskers IRON abroad come along to
give them set speech. This will en-
danger success. They must not wait for
6 large meeting before they turn ut,el'e
ten TO one they will have no meetings ut
al. 1t is not the large meetings and
heavy speeches from distinguished Of
stor. that carry elections. Success IA
more attributable TO the small meetings
TO the !eaycn of determination work
ing in the minds Of the people, bringing
neicborhoods together to talk the matter
over in homey, quiet way. This mus
be done and bs done generally through
out the State Of Iowa this fall else Mr..
Fisher will not be elected, bnt will be de-
issted by large majority. Success in
this case depends upon the general de-
termination Of the entire democracy OF
Iowa. They must work, and all work
together they must all pull at the same
string and every democrat must bear a
hand with his neighbor. Such course
whether we have large meetings or not
will ensure success. Any other vii
bring on defeat. Let the democracy
choose whether they will 90 in for victo
ry by the only way left open, or whetb-
or they will remain quietly in their
tracks, ,eish we'll for the party hope Tor
the success OF its candidates, bu, finally
when the votes are counted out, learn
with a.tonishment that there are not
enough to carry the day. lie, them de-
eide and do it quickly fer there is bn,
precious little time to be lost.
