ESCAPED by the skin of its teeth
similar loss in Iowa. The one tang
that the Republicans have t" boast ''
in that they have kept up their organ
izatjon in all the States. l ms IS more
than they felt sure of doing 'e"
months since.
Among tie losses the Democrats
will feel most is that of Milton Say
Ter in this without the self assertion"
that makes smaller men mole PROM
inent, Mr.. Sayler is very awe ma"
and was influential in the House III
and out of his party. lie had been
much spoken of as Il candidate ''r
Sneaker, and would have filled the
nosition with ability and fairness.
II;s defeat seems to leave the contest
between Mr.. Randall and Mr.. Blake
