WASHINGTON, Oct. 81, 1879.
notice as significant sign of the
times that the democrats and greenback.
ers are tired of ''this eternal talk about
Ohio and Iowa." Well they may be.
And let me say right here that after the
November elections they will be still
more tired of that talk. It is all one
way this year, and they begin to realize
it. The monotony of course is not en-
couraging to them after three years of
looking forward to complete domination
in the National Government.
There seems to be some danger that
Iowa will be too unanimously republican,
rolling up as it does $4,000 majority
over the democrats. The more crafty
ing fact is that the Republicans seemed
to take special delight in "going for
the greenback stronghold. Thus the two
districts that chose greenback members
of Congress last year, have reported
large republican majorities, and this is

and he will receive the congratulations
of his many friends when he returns to
Washington.
Ohio was certainly Waterloo for the
democrats and greenbackers. Before
election, we would have been satisfied
with small plurality over the democrats
and greenbackers, but to obtain a clean
majority over all is fact almost un-
precedented. The poor greenbackers are
nearly squeezed out Their truck and

same Standardization.
Ewing and Thurman are terribly set
back by their defeat. Of course the
latter is politically done fdf, and cannot
hope to 90 into the Democratic National
Convention with his State to back him
Pendleton seems to be coming forward
as Ohio's favorite son, on that side, fol-
the reason that he was not cordially
inside the democratic management IL
the late campaign.

restoration in Congress. Humans, de
