The Democrats of Iowa deserve
great praise for their brave fight
against such almost hopeless odds in
the Vermont of the West. They have
cut down the 10000 Stalwart majority
OF few years ago, to less than one
tenth of those figures, and the odds
against them may not reach 5000.
This is a virtual triumph and even
Iowa must be placed among the doubt
full states in the great battle of 1884.
This leaves Vermont the only sure
state for the Stalwart candidate for
President next year. Cock-a-doodle-
doc ! Whitehall On. W Times.

John Sherman of Ohio said before
the election that if the state went Re-
publican an Ohio man would be the
next president. The prospect that an
Ohio man will be the next president is
quite as good now as it was before,
but we doubt the advisabilty Of taking
the democratic candidate from that
state, because--more than for any
other reason--it is not we'll located
with respect to sectional considerations.
The Troy Press says: at is absurd
to talk of a candidate from Ohio. The
candidate ought to come, and undoubt-
ly will come, from New York" 1t is
not absurd to talk of candidate from
any state that has gone democratic two
years in succession-the latest the
year before the presidential campaign
and that contains as many national
democrats of excellent standing as
Ohio contains. But New York also
has good men and their claims will
continue to be carefully considered.
All we ask of New York democrats is
that if their state should be asked to
furnish the second name on the ticket
instead of the first they shall not make
fuss about it, Boston Post.
