Nominated by Acc{s(v
terday at Corning by the 49,
ocrats Of the Eighth Con-
greSSiOnaI District.

Hon. V. r. McGinnis received the
nomination for congress by acclama;
ton at the Democratic Congressional
Convention of the Eighth District of
Iowa, held.at Corning Yesterday. The
honor is the greater for the reason that
1T came entirely unsolicited by Mr..
McGinnis. For several years the dem.
ocrats OF the district have been looking
to him as an available candidate but he
has steadily refused to be candidate
But now that he has been nominated
we feel sure that he will accept the
nomination. He is one of the braipy
young men of the west, fluent speaker
and one who can make a creditable
canvass. While it is true that there is q
large republican majority in the district,
stranger things have happened than
the election of Mr.. McGinnis to CON
gress. There could not have been
stronger or cleaner candidate named
and his nomination is an honor to De.
catur county. When the campaign
opens Van r. McGinnis will be heard
from in a manner which will strike Ter
ror to the hearts Of the opposition.
