No Dust On Iowa.

The Iown Democrats have proflted by tho
errors OF their brethren In Indiana and ILL
nois, The Indiana Democrats are for the
Hon. ISAAC PusRY GRAY. but they made the
mistake OF throwing sop to the Unsuitable
Claimant and In consequence the Claim
ants men are wearing out their vocal
chords In tho attempt to persuade some
body that Indiana Is for the Claimant.
The Illinois Democrats we're lured or
bulldozed by the Hon. WILLIAM RUFUS
MoRR1soN into q similar mistake. instead
OF putting themselves on record as wanting
what they wanted. they were guilty OF the
weakness OF formal and perfunctory rec.
ommendation Of the Claimant. In spite OF
the fact that JOHN McAULEY PALMER Is
their first and permanent choice.
The Iowa Democrats have learned wisdom
from the unwisdom OF Indiana aud Illinois.
They said not word for CLEVELAND. From
them his friends can derive no consolation
and be supported In no illusion. Read once
more the Iowa resolution for BoIEs:

suecssseu Administration of our Chief Executive the

Magwump newspaper. a CLEVELAND

describes the reception Of the resolution:

But what sufficient punishment can there
