That the administration ring at
Washington are badly scared by the
nomination Of Judge Davis for Presi-
dent, is evident from the fact that it is
seriously talked Of in Congressional cir
cles Of making Judge Of the Supreme
Court ineligible to any other office on
the ground that it is necessary to pre-
serve the purity and dignity Of the Ju-
dietary Purity and dignity Of the
Judiciary" are nice terms to be used
by men who have time and again
threatened to legislate the Court out Of
existence, unless it decided questions Of
law according to the ideas Of the peliti-
cal majority in Congress. Plain Dealer

The Outlook.
w. n. MEAD. Editor,

The Republican majority in the last
Presidential campaign was small, in
view of the total number of votes. A
few thousand otherwise distributed
would have given Seymour and Blair a
majority in the electoral college. And
yet the Democracy entered upon and
fought out that contest under disadvan-
tages so great as to preclude the hope
of success from the beginning.
Under the new apportionment, the
number of electors is 357, of which 179
are, Of course, necessary to an election.
The Democracy may claim with rea-
sonable certainty the votes of Alabama,
9; Arkansas, 6: Delaware, 3; Georgia,
II; Kentucky, l.; Maryland, 8; Mis-
souri,, Is; North Carolina, 10; New
Jersey, 8; New York, 81; Oregon, 8,
Tennessee, II; West Virginia. 5; max
ing 1915.
To the Administration may fairly be
assigned, Iowa, II; Kansas, 5; Maine,
Z; Massachusetts, IS; Michigan, H.:
Minnesota, 5: Nebraska, 3; Rhode Is
land, 1; South Carolina, I; Vermont.
/; Wisconsin, 10; Florida, 3; So in ALL
Ohio, 2: New Hampshire, 4; LOUISE
ana, I: Nevada, 2; are doubtful, with
the probability in favor of the present
dynasty, making 119-.Pennsylvania
with - votes is extremely close, being
added to the opposition column, brings
it up to lit or with Mississippi, 8, to
155.
The chances in Indiana, IA; Con
nerticut, 6, and California, 6, are
strongly in favor of the Democracy and
swell the vote of their candidate to Isl
or more than sufficient to elect him.
We have purp~sely omitted Illinois
with Il votes, because hitherto it has
been counted in the list of Administra.
ton states, recent events indicate that
that result is very far from Ger.
tain. In fact we entertain no doubt
whatever that Judge Davis if support
ed by the Democratic party, would
carry the State overwhelmingly.
And it is not impossible that Illinois
may be the turning point in the contest
No unprecedented observer of affairs vii
assert that upon platform embodyine
those old Democratic ideas, which arr
now styled by certain class reforms,
and with candidate Of irreproachable
character, known integrity and UNI
doubted capacity, the Democracy would
not enter upon the canvass with only q
fair expectation of success, but with
the means in their hands to achieve it.
Much would depend upon the leader
of our forces, for while it is true as il
ever was that principles and not men
are the vital ends Of political contests
yet it has become of increasing import.
ance that men should be selected who
are the true representatives Of the prin
ciples at stake, aal who do not in theil
past careers present distractions ant
side issues.
It is at least sufficiently clear that if
by combination of forces, triumph is t.
be absolutely secured, the Democracy
must be consulted in the selection Of
candidates. lhic"yo Daily Nsus

New HAMPsHIRE.-The complete
vote of the State for Governor gives
Straw majority of 1,137 instead Of
the 1900 claimed; and this is the grand
result Of the Protective monopoly, the
buying Of votes, the sending Of $751;
600 into the State from Washington
alone, the filing of the U. S. Navy
Yard with voters, the visits Of Wilson
and a score of members of Congress.
The majority for Grant was seven times
that Of Straw. The total vote exceeds
that of 1871 by 6,G1o; the Republican
vote is increased 4, SAG; Weston's is in
creased l, sSs; the Labor Reform vote
is diminished 22s; the Temperance is
increased 1879 votes. The Democrats
polled &C., votes against all these
discouragements, and in defiance of the
patronage of the Federal Government.

ton of our Teachers and School Officers

sign for a School house,. illustrated
articles on "How to Teach; communi-

The office-holders convention in Clay ton
county was divided in opinion as to the
fitness Of Grant for a denomination. 10.
Eiboeck, of the Elkader Journal in
troduced two resolutions inserted below
that were tabled by vote Of 80 ayes
TO 25 nays. When so near half Of the
republican party regard Grant as unfit
for the Office, is it any wonder that the
entire democratic party should think
him unfit?
Resolved, That we deprecate the
calling Of the Republican State Con-
vention at so early date as the 9th
of March, inasmuch as more time ought
to have been given the people of the
State to discuss the merits of the sever
al candidates for the Presidency, and
the Republicans of Clayton county in
Convention assembled desire to severely
censure the State Central Commit ee
for calling the Convention SO early, thus
ignoring the rights and wishes of the
great mass Of Iowa Republicans, who
look upon their action as trick of fed
cral otficc-helders to foist upon the peo-
pie delegation favorable to the present
incumbent Of the Presidential Chair.
Resolved, That the Republicans of
Clayton County would hail with joy the
nomination by the National Convention
of Hon. James L. Wilson, Of Iowa, for
the Presidency of the United States, and
would esteem the selection of that able
scholar and statesman as harbinger of
reformation and harmony and an ASST
rance of the perpetuity Of the Republi-
! can party

A correspondent writes to the Louis
vile Courier Journal to ask: IF Judge
Davis runs for President will he have
to resign his place on the supreme
bench?" To which the editor responds:
Not necessarily; but it is likely he will

There is much harmony and unanim-
ity among the Grant men in favor Of

this harmony by no means conprshends
the whole Of the republican party.
