Mr.. McCrarY. of Iowa.

From the Ioaoa State Leader (Democratic.)
it was the good fortune Of Iowa to have
borne part in the shaping of the bill for
counting tie electoral vote, by the presence
Of Hon. Geo. W. McCrary, a member of
the house committee, where he was one of
the most earnest workers, He has shown
by this action that he is able to rise above
the groveling position of the mere partisan,
and to show by his action that he is
animated by sentiments higher and n0bler
than those which belong to the partisan
and the demagogue. His course will be
commended by the fair and honest men Of
Iowa. who care less for party success thar
than for the preservation inviolate of the
sacred rights of the people, In the name o
and as member of the Democratic parts
of the state we tender him the thanks o
the Democrats of Iowa for his wise ant
patriotic action.

He Could Not Accept the Senatorship if
Ttndered Him,

Several rumors, apparently we'll
authenticated, were in circulation this
morning to the effect that Judge Lawrence,
of the firm of Lawrence, Campbell &
Lawrence, and late Chief Justice of the
supreme court Of Illinois, had been solicited
to become a candidate for the United States
senate, and promised the united support OF
the Democratic party in the legislature.
One OF those rumors, and to all appearances
the most reliable, stated that the Hon
Bluford Wilson. late solicitor Of the
treasury department under Mr.. Bristow,
had sent a telegram or communication to
Judge Lawrence, directly, asking him to
become a candidate for the distinguished
position, as stated above, guaranteeing the
Democratic support.
In order to ascertain the truth of the
statement, Journal reporter called upon
the Judge this morning and asked him
about the matter.
The Judge said;
am not at liberty to state what PROPOSE
tions have received, | could not accept
the office even if | were elected,
The reporter then asked the Judge for
some suggestions in regard to the senatorial
conflict. and also as TO whether or not be
