HORACE Ho1Es FOR pREs1DEsr.
$. H. BasI.or suggests s.Uncle Hod', az
the Lead cr for Democrats.

Waterloo, Jan. N25.-Horace Boies as
the democratic nominee for president
is the suggestion of S. H. Bashor.
Those who know the close relations ex-
isting between the two men regard the
declaration as a practical announces
ment of his candidacy by Mr.. Boies
himself. In discussing the question
yesterday Mr.. Bashor said:
Horace Boies is the ablest governor
Iowa ever had. On national questions
he has shown a grasp and insight that
time and events are proving accurate.
Men who want. sound currency can
find no objection to him or his ideas on
bimetallism. Western men love, hon
or and trust him, and eastern men
have no fear of him. He is the man
upon whom all the great mass of denl-
ocrats can unite. lie will poll vote
in the north and west that Mr.. BRYAN
can never touch, and there is no demo-
cratic sentiment in the east that can-
not be enthusiastically for him.
"Mr. Bryan is only 40. If he is the
statesman his friends think, he will
ripen and grow with age, and years
hence will be better than now But
Horace Boies is the man of the day
and hour, aud the democrats of the ma.
tion need him, can unite on him, and T
believe will call him.
