BOIESaFOR PRESIDENT.
The Veteran Jones Says Cleveland
Is Not in 1t.


CHICAGO. Oct 26.-Gen. George W
Jones, of Dubuque, the veteran soldier
and senator, is here, and is absolutely
confident Boies will sweep Iowa from
Sioux City to keokuk.
at is a foregone conclusion that
Boies will be elected" he said, but we
are all working hard for an increased
majority so that Iowa may have some
thing important to say about the pres
identi;u nomination. Year after year
the number of Democrats has been in
creasing, and our success will, | am
sure, upset the Republicans of the
state. Side by side with this growth of
Democracy has been revolution of
feeling against the prohibition laws,
which will week the Republican party
in Iowa. Wheeler stands no show at
all. lie struggle is being fought Oh
the p. ohioition platform, and the ma
jCrity of the people favor the repeal of
the OG:ous law thrust upon them
by the Republicans. The passing
of the law caused the rift
which separated Boies from the
Republicans. Until then he had worked
arduouSly for the cause, but when he
found that they were determined to
thrust the prohibition measure on the
people he withdrew and joined the Dem
0crats. He told his old friends that
they were killing themselves politically
by fathering such an outrageous law.
He felt that he could not work any
longer in harmony with the Republican
party. The Democrats asked him to
become the nominee for the govern
ship. and his candidacy was hailed with
the delight and enthusiasm which fore
tokened victory.
Gov. BOies has many personal quail
ties which endear him to his constltu-
ents. He is the finest stump speaker [
have ever heard, and his arguments
against prohibition and the tariff are far
better than any one else can bring for
ward. He is an able and all eloquent
lawyer, and has already shown the peo-
pie of Iowa what he can do. The pros
poets of success are SO great that we
may have a chance to say something
about Gov Boies' nomination to the
presidency. If the Democrats get an in
creased majority in Iowa, and Camp
bell is defeated in Ohio, then Boies
is certain TO be nominated by the Demo
cratic convention. You can put it down
that | am certain that Grover Cleveland
will not get the nomination. Hill is
fighting against him in New York, and
the result will be defeat for Ceve-
ldIlu. IL SdHlpuCll SCIS oil luCItdScu
majority in Ohio he will undoubtedly
be the nominee for the presidency. But
the matter will rest entirely between
OHIO and Iowa. One of these two states
will have the honor of presidential
nominee.
Baby Ruth will help Grover Cleve-
land somewhat, but not as much as if a
son had been born. But whether Camp
bell overtops Boies or not, Iowa Demo
Gratis are going to elect their man in
order to shatter the prohibition laws.
Wheeler is an illiterate man, and has
nothing to recommend him but his
money. | was introduced to him short
time ago, and the Republicans claimed
that intended to support him and his
policy. But my denial was published
in the Democratic papers. | had been
asked to meet Wheeler, and it was this
visit which was made use of for political
effect and in favor Of prohibition, which
l have always fought"
