Iowa State Register: The prevailing pref
erence of Iowa for Blaine is an old-time mat
ter. 1t has prevailed for eight years, and in
its remaining unimpaired strength now there
is no reflection ON President Arthur, nor any
expression of lack of liking for or confidence
in him. For with Blaine aside, the Republi
cans of this state would next prefer Arthur
among outside men. They feel that he has
made an excellent president, and that he
would be safe and desirable executive for
four years more. The only question in Iowa
is whether he is strong enough in New York
| and Ohio surely to carry those states.
