John j. Davis.

OF the many good nominations made
by the Republicans of Iowa county this
fall, none, it seems to us is better than
the nomination of Mr. John J. Davis for
member of Assembly in this District.
Mr.. Davis is q citizen of the county of
over 20 years standing Is one of those
studious, Industrious farmers who 90 to
make up the wealth, honor and intelli-
gence of free America.
Mr.. Davis is native of Wales, to
which little province we are largely in
debted for the Republican majority in
Iowa county. Out of 800 or 600 Welsh
men in Iowa county, there are not, prob
ably, more than so Democrats. Among
these 500 Mr., D, has for many years been
recognized leader, and to his influence
is largely attributable their adherence to
the Republican party.
Besides being popular with his own
countrymen, Mr. Davis is widely known
and highly respected throughout the en-
tire county, and especially in this ASS
sembly District He will unquestiona-
bly, bring out large vote, and be elected
over John a. Baker, the Democratic
nominee by Il large majority, and we can
with confidence assure the people that
they will find in him an able, true, and
creditable representative

The War-Peace Prospects.

The military situation in Europe re>
mains unchanged. There is, however,
greater promise of peace than at any
previous time since Napoleons unwar,
ranted declaration of war. England,
Austria and Italy have Joined in an effort
to bring about an armistice, in order to
give the French an opportunity to elect a
Constituent Assembly, and lead to con-
cusion Of the war. Russia, though de-
clinng to act jointly with these powers,
is moving independently to bring about
the same end 1t is reported that the
proposed basis of peace is, the Prussians
to receive Luxembourg, and a money
idemnity of eighty million pounds ster
ling and the fortresses of Metz and
Strasbourg to be dismantled. How
much truth is in the report cannot be
determined
1t is stated the mediating powers will
endeavor to place an Orleans Prince on
the French thorne and ignore the new
born Republic. Rather than this, we
hope Bismarck will reject the PROPOSE
ton. Better for France that she die in
the last ditch, lighting foreign foe, than
that she should submit to the crushing
out of her liberties, and again become a
despotic Empire. Should the French
people, after SO pretentiously declaring
themselves free, meekly submit their
necks to the tyrants yoke, they will be
held up to the derision of the world as
latuous towards.
