The Straggle for Official Nomination Go ing on in the Hawkrye Mate. , Cedar Rapids, la., Aug. 18. On the eve of the Republican state convention last night and nine-tenths of the dele gates present, there was more uncer tainty as to who Would be nominated to the various offices today than at any time this week. All the candidates for the various offices opened headquarters feunday and Monday, and have been working hard. There are many reports cf combinations formed, but there seems no foundation for them. In fact It seems Impossible to form any combina tion. Matt Parrott, of Waterloo, had the largest number of votes on the "first ballot, with A. B. Punk, of Spirit Lake, second, and Ia. M. Shaw, of Denison, a strong third. Fuller and Harsh fol lowed, with Cownie. Fiickinger and Harlan practically out of the race. Shaw was evidently gaining strength faster than any other candidate, and If Parrott Is not nominated before the fifth ballot it Is believed that Shaw will 1k chosen. Speaker Byers with drew last night and this Is considered a big thing for Shaw. The lieutenant governorship depends entirely upon the choice made for governor. C. M. Water man, of Davenport, seem3 to be In the lead for judge of the supreme court. while Judge 1-aggett, of Fairfield; Judse McCoy, of Oskaloosa. and Judge Ring, of Newton, each have almost as much strength. Henry Sabin, the pres ent superintendent of public Instruc tion, Is belncf given a hard race by Professor I'arrett, of Osage, who may serure the nomination. Captain Da vidson will be nominated railroad com missioner without opposition. The town id "Jam full" of Republican politicians. ABBREVIATED TELEGRAMS.

PIKE'S WELCOME To the Bankers Assembled in Na tional Convention at Mich igan's Metropolis. G0VEEN0K HAS TWO SEW IDEAS To Which He Invites Their Attention: Increased Liability for Corporation Debts of the Stockholder Thereof and a Tax on Gold I'sed In the Arte for Sear That t'e Will Cause a Strlqganey in the Cold Coin Market. Detroit, Aug. IS. The banking Inter ests of the country were well represent ed yesterday morning when about- &00 delegates to the American Banking as sociation assembled in the Detroit Opera House to attend the opening session of the twenty-third annual convention of fhat body. The welcome speech of Gov ernor Pingree, while considered some what radical by some of the members, was on the whole well received, and he was generou-ly applauded at Its conclu sion. George H. Russell, as spokesman of the Detroit clearing house, adminis tered a mild rebuke to the governor by saying that he had only been in the banking business eight or nine years, and would not, therefore, attempt to de liver a homily on the silver question or the evils of corporations. The applause which greeted this sally showed that a hit at Michigan's anti-corporatiun gov ernor was understood and appreciated. At the ccr.culsion of the session the state delegates met to appoint their members of the nominating committee. There is scarcely a doubt that Jotsph C. Hen drix. president of the National I'r.ien bank, of New York city, first vice presi dent of the association, will be chosen president. I'infc-ree's Talk Was the Feature. Governor Pingree'3 speech was the feature cf the opening day by long edds. After a few words of cordial greeting the governor said: "I do not pretend to fully understand the theory of nicr.tv. being but an every-day manufacturer of shoes; but I have a thought which I wish to start rolling for diseuspion. Whatever men's ideas may be upon the subject as to what money metal cf ulti mate redemption 13 best In the world's commerce and monetary systems. I be lieve it Is conceded that when silver gradually ceased to be part of the stock usfd for such purposes in the balance of trade and otherwise the available amount cf primary money was reduced almut rre-half. To remedy this state cf affairs it is sought to effect cn agree ment among nations whereby the unit of measure may again be in either gold or silver et a certaia ratio, called bi metallism. .Sn reu a Scarcity of Cold. "Should it be Impossible to effect suoh an agreement, or should the pe1le of the L nited States decide to hereafter use gold alone for money of ultimate re demption, a condition of affairs may be imagined when such a large proportion of the world's annual gold product shall bo used and consumed In the aits that an increasing stringency In geld coin w ill occur. As I understand it. the prin cipal purpose rf remcr.etizing silver either with or without foreign assent to increase the available supply r.f ul timate redemption money." As or.e way of increasing the stock of the world's coined gold the goverr.wr then suggested that seme way he devised to prevent the increasing use of gold in the arts; for instance, a tax upon manu factured gold in the shape of jewelry, gold leaf. etc. I.IAmi.ITY OF THE TOCKHOLIErS. Coventor Wonlri Ilnve All Corporation)! Ruled in That lteie t l.ikr K inks. The frovernor concluded with some re marks on corporations. Pie said: "The liability of the stockholders to the amount of their stock in addition to the amount invited, and the strinnt holdir.s of directors to watchfulness and duty, makes a national bank per haps the lest model cif a corporation that has thus far been worked out. One preat cause rf complaint apainst many of our private corporations is that the laws temi the people to organize them f ir the very purpose of escaping re sponsibility for the debts that are to be contracted. Many of these debts arc. in conscience, individual obligations. They oupht to be the same in law. A cor poration is organized ostensibly so that men who would otherwise be in partner ship can continue the business without its being entangled with the estate of a deeeased partner. "Cut if the business becomes a fail ure, except as to certain d'bts thr stockholders are not jrenerally liable to the creditors. Iiws of this kind sap the individual character of our age'. They lower the standard of honesty until people are taupht to think that in a collective capacity as stockholders in a corporation they may be less hon est than as individuals, and are relieved of individual responsibility to this with whom they deal. Now, if the piinripie of liability on the part of stockholders and directors f national banks were to extend to other corporations the stock holders would stake rheir individual reputation as well as their money on the result of the business. Larpe business interests would be in the hands of men who intended to pay, and thy would be released from illegi timate competition of those who, by intention or recklessness, go into cor porate business by which creditors must lose, i'ropress will doubtless develop other means for making; corporations honest. But I believeweouRhtnottostop until the responsibility to be honest restinsr upon corporations which txis-t by virtue of franchises granted by ti-e public is as great as that whi- h rts upon a lirst class, honest, business n.ari. If something in the nature of responsi bility imposed by the national banking law upon banks would be applied to ail private coriK'i ations I believe thrit much of the odium which now attaches to corporations in general would be re nn i ved.
