2 IOWA REPUBLICANS. Battling of Dry Bones in the Hawkeye State. A Ticket Pot Up to Be Snowed Under in November. Hiram C. Wheeler Nominated for Governor on First Ballot. A Farmers' Alliance Organizer for Lieu tenant Governor — Prohibition a Prominent Plank ln the Platform. Associated Press Dispatches. Cedar Rapids, la., July I.—One of the most enthusiastic Republican con ventions ever assembled in lowa con vened in this city today. The conven tion was as distinguished for its harmony and good feeling as have been the con ventions of recent years for their discord and dissensions. Among the audience were many persons of state and national reputation. Senator Allison, Congress men Henderson, Perkins, Flick, Dolliver and Hull, ex-Governor Gear, ex-Governor Larabee and Solicitor of the Treasury Hepburn occupied seats on the platform, and Mrß. J. Ellen Foster, representa tive of the non-partisan Women's Christian Temperance union, headed a delegation of enthusiastic lady Republi cans who occupied a private box. Promptly at 11 o'clock Chairman Mack, of the state central, committee, called the convention to order and divine blessing was invoked by Rev. Julius Ward, of Cedar Rapids. Chairman Mack announced John Y. Stone as tem porary chairman, and W. R. Cochrane, of Taylor county, as temporary secre tary of the convention. In assuming the chair, Stone made a rousing speech. Stone praised the administration of President Harrison. "One other can here be mentioned," said he, "the right arm and loyal friend of his chief—the fearless and incomparable Blame." At the mention of the secretary's name, the convention went wild with enthusiasm. ''The first citizen of the republic," continued Stone, "he is its gieatest civic hero." The speaker wound up with recipro city. He said: "There is but one re ciprocity, and James G. Blame is its Erophet. [Tremendous applause.] When c first announced this gospel the "Dem ocratic party, under the spur of the mo ment, thought it saw free trade shining in a more 1 dazzling light than ever be fore. When the spell was broken, re ciprocity was in the Republican camp and James G. Blame its chief priest." Here the convention again became wildly enthusiastic. After the appointment of committees a recess was taken until J p.m. A meet ing of the committee on permanent or ganization was at once held, at which ex-Governor and ex-Congressman John Gear of Burlington was selected as per manent chairman of the convention. The committee on resolutions also met immediately after the adjournment of the convention and adopted a platform. The platform endorses the McKinlev tariff law in the warmest terms, and particularly commends the reciprocity provision and its interpretation and ob servation by Secretary of State Blame and President Harrison. The course of the Republican party on the pension question is endorsed, and liberal pen sions to the disabled soldiers and the widows of the nation's defenders are urged. The financial question is briefly disposed of by the endorsement of the present silver law. Harrison's administration is endorsed and the large appropriations of the laßt congress de fended, as having been necessary for the welfare and development of the country and the protection of those to whom liberal appropriations were voted for having hazarded life and limb in the defense of their country. The prohibi tion plank of the platform of last year is reaffirmed, and the Democratic parly and local officials are arraigned for con spiracy with the law-breaking element for the violation and non-observance of the prohibition law. The course of lowa's senators and representatives in the national congress is commended, and a particular eulogy is extended to Senator Allison for bis liberal and patri otic course as chairman of the senate committee on appropriations. The world's Columbian exposition at Chi cago is commended, and the lowa legis lature is urged to make a liberal appro priation for an exhibit of the resources and products of the 1 lawkcye state. Immediately after the reconvening of the convention at 2 p.m., Permanent Chairman Gear was introduced and made a brief speech predicting party success on the tariff and local issues. The nomination of state officers waa then declared in order. For Governor, Hiram C. Wheeler, of Odebolt, Sac county, was nominated on first ballot, amid great enthusiasm. He was called upon for a speech and returned thanks briefly for the honor conferred. George Van Houten was nominated for lieutenant-governor, over the in cumbent, Lieutenant-Governor Payner. Van Houten is a stock raiser and or ganizer of the Farmers' Alliance. For supreme judge, S. M. Weaver of lowa Falls was nominated on third bal lot, defeating Chief Justice Beck, the incumbent, and other candidates. Henry Sabin, the present superintend ent of public institution, and Frank T. Campbell, present railroad commission er, were nominated by acclamation. A telegram of greeting was read from the secretary of the National Republi can league, and one signed by John Gay, president of the National league for pro tection to American institutions, asking the convention to recommend in its platform, state and national constitu tional prohibition of sectarian appro priations as a necessary measure of de fense for the American common school system. Congressman Perkins, chairman of the committee on resolutions, reported the platform. A. J. Hirachl, of Davenport, a mem ber of the committee, protested against the plank endorsing prohibition, and offered a substitute therefor, "favoring snch a system of local option under high license, as will afford protection and prohibition to those communities which desire the same, and also tbe wholesome restriction and regulation of those which nnder the prohibition system are, and of necessity ever will be, cursed by free liquor." Hirachl made a vigorous speech in favor of his substitute. He said if the Democrats advanced a resolution of this kind it was only to be smothered on the first occasion, whereas THE LOS'ANGELES HERALD: THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 2, 1891. a resolution of this kind coming from the Republican party is an effort to intro duce true temperance in every part of the state. The adoption of the resolu tion would fasten the state irrevocably to the Republican party. Henry S. Wilcox of Polk couty argued against the substitute, and Senator Lawrence of Sioux City favored it. The latter said, aa far as preventing intem perance goes, prohibition is not only a farce, but today is breeding more intem perance than any other law that can be devised. The general sentiment, however, was clearly against the substitute, and on roll call it was defeated, 951 to 107, and tremendous applause greeted the an nouncement of the prohibition plank. On motion of one delegate, that the platform, as reported by the committee, be adopted by a rising vote, there were no opposing votes, and the platform was adopted unanimously. DEMOCRATS, ORGANIZE. Chairman Brice Writes a Letter of Warn ing; and Advice. New York, July I.—Senator Brice, chairman of the National Democratic committee, has written a letter of warn ! ing and advice to his fellow members of | the national committee. The letter em bodies advice in regard to the associa tion of Democratic clubs and the neces sity of the national committee co-oper ating with them. The Benator begins with the statement that a presidential contest is near at hand; that the Re publicans are rapidly preparing for it, and thAt the 'Democrats cannot be too circumspect or too swift in arranging to meet them. The plan of campaign of the Republicans, he says, is a co lossal system of clubs to be main tained and supported by unlimited means drawn from the pockets of the beneficiaries of its monopoly policy. This system, he urges, can only be met :by an equally extensive system of Dem ! ocratic clubs; that is, associations of people in their several neighborhoods I for the defense of their rights and inter ests against those banded to assail them. Brice thinks the approaching struggle is to be one mainly between clubs, and it is greatly to be desired that a uniform and perfected system of Democratic so cieties, thoroughly organized aud in intimate association with each other, shall be established before the beginning of the next year. He says he has examined the plan of organization now in process of successful accomplish ment by the national association of Democratic clubs, and he feels it the duty of every member of the national executive committee to give the club as sociation his most hearty support, and he urges each member of the national committee to co-operate with the asso ciation to the fullest extent. The work undertaken by the execu tive committee of the cluba ia absolutely necessary to be done, in Brice's opinion, and in his letter he states that the op portunity is now presented of having it accomplished by efficient instruction, at a minimum cost, and that distributed over so many localities as not to be a burden to anyone. Brice concludes his letter as follows: "An important feature of the plan is the selection of correspondents in the sev eral states. This now requires urgent attention in your state. I would there fore ask you to confer with the chair man of your state committee as soon as may be convenient, and arrange this particular part of the plan; also that you will do all in your power to facilitate organization in other ways that you may think beat." SHORB IN CHICAGO. . A Possibility of His Getting; the Horti cultural Chiefshlp. Chicago, July I.—J. Deßarth Shorb, one of California's candidates for the chieftiancy of the horticulturaljdepart ment, is in the city. Shorb is a practi cal horticulturist and is said to have large California backing, and should Mr. Forsyth not be installed in the office for which he is now named, it is probable that Director General Davis will be asked to name Shorb for the place. Counterfeiters Arrested. Kashas City, July 1. —T. P. Stratton, J. J. Derry and J. W. Crawford were arrested last night, suspected of being counterfeiters. In the pocket of each was found an oath setting forth that if any one violated the secrets of the oth ers, he should be killed by one of them. Crawford claims to be a physician of lowa. The others are farmers of Mercer county, Mo. A letter found on Stratton from W. Wiley Perkins. Kingfisher, Oklahoma territory, says: "Your spuri ous went off well." The prisoners were held for examination. Riotous Soldiers. London, July 1. —A riotous affray oc curred at Falkestone last night, which at one time threatened serious conse quencea. The trouble arose from sol diers resisting the arrest of a woman. They collected in such numbers as to overpower the police who were driven out of the streets. Excited by their suc cess, the soldiers attacked the town hall with the intention of wrecking it, when reinforcements came to the aid of the police, and the rioters were put to flight. Forty arrests were made. Danger of tho Dreibund. St. Petersburg, July I.—The Novoe Vremya today, commenting upon the re newal of the dreibund, says unless France and Russia reply to this treaty shortly by concluding formal alliance, the central powers of Europe will be come too confident as to the importance of their adversaries to enable the latter to counteract their ambitioua desires, and they will consequently bring about events which will render a European war inevitable. Sugar Stock Takes a Tumble. New York, July I.—Judge Barnard, sitting in the supreme court, today granted an injunction restraining the payment of dividends on stock of the augar refineriea company. When thia announcement waa made in Wall street it created a furore in the market. Sugar stock which had sold as high aa $3, dropped to |1, and then sold up again to $2.50. Madame Pbilo's Confession. Denver, July 1. —Madame Philo, charged with stealing a $1000 check from G. M. Newkirk, state agent of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance company, made a confession tonight, implicating C. M. Newkiik, brother of the agent. She says she consented to the crime through love of C. M. Newkirk. The latter has been arrested. Blame's Family Alarmed. New York, July 1. —A Bar Harbor special says last evening a messenger from the Blame household called for the village physician, and together they hastened to the residence of Mr. Blame. Everything went to show that the secre tary bad a bad turn. It is learned, however, that the attack was not severe, but it alarmed bis family. GIBBONS IS GLAD. The Pope Will Not Concede Cahensley's Demands. Baltimore, July 1. —When Cardinal Gibbons waß shown an Associated Press dispatch from Rome, stating that the pope had written him that he will never concede the demands made by Herr Cahensley, on behalf of the St. Raphael societies, for the protection of Catholic emigrants, in so far aa the appointment of national bishops is concerned, and that the pope had also refused a petition of the Poles in the United States for the appointment of a Polish bishop, Cardi nal Gibbons remarked that he was very glad to receive the information. His eminence added: "I was not unprepared for a communication of this kind" from the Holy Father." ' WIRE WAIFS. Louis Heimrod & Co., one of the old est grocery firms in Omaha, have tailed. Several thousand Clyde irou men have struck against a proposed reduction of wages. Professor Lebanon Russell Brigga haa assumed the duties of dean of Harvard college, succeeding Clement L. Smith, resigned. In New York, Alexander Weiss, 40 years old, agent for advertiaementa for certain German newspapers, fatally shot Maria Hodig and himself. Jealousy. At Huntsville, Ala., John Baker, a colored man, shot and killed his wife and then mutilated her with a razor in a terrible manner, and cut his own throat. Jealousy. M. DeLessep'e family are extremely anxious as to the outcome of the attack of nervous depresßion from which the veteran engineer is suffering, aa the re- Bult of the criminal proceedinga inati tuted against him. Mrs. Emma Brown, wife of Samuel S. Brown, secretary of the Benton, Mon tana board of trade, escaped from the sanitarium at Woodhaven, L. 1., where she had been under treatment for emo tional insanity, and ended her life by jumping in the reservoir of the Wood haven water works. A dispatch from Bangkok, Siam, siys French troops have occupied a province eaat of the Mekank river, hitherto a vassal state of Siam. It ia Btippoaed that this ia a prelude to an eventual at tempt by France to annex Siam, with the object, possibly, of assisting Russian designs on Eastern Asia. The Odessa correspondent of the Lon don News says the governors of Kieff, Padalia and Valhynia have issued a de cree announcing that all foreigners in those provinces must either become nat uralized citizens or leave the country. The decree is aimed at the populous German colonies adjacent to the Aus trian frontier. France haa declined to sign a renewal of the North Sea convention to prevent illicit traffic in alcohol among the fisher men. This, combined with France's at titude toward the Bruaaela' convention, is regarded aa a retort to England's atti tude toward the dreibund, and will likely impede the settlement of the Newfoundland question. Minnesota Democrats. Minneapolis, July I.—A state Demo cratic conference gathered here today, with 150 leading politicians in attend ance. The object of the gathering is to organize a club movement in the state and diacuaa campaign plana. Organiza tion waß effected with Mayor Durant, of Stillwater, as chairman.
