A Washington special of Tuesday says
that lhe president is anxious to appoint
A. B, Cummins assistant post master
general, the place once filled by Mr. 'J.
8. Clarkson. The same day Governor
Shaw, Senator Allison and J. W. Blythe
were closeted at Chicago to settle the
senatorial matter. The inference is that
the president was informed of the result
of their deliberations and that the' out
come was the offer to Mr. Cummins in
the hope that be could be bought off
with the assistant poptipasterehip from
any other aspirations "for the senator
ship. It is not very probable that the
gentleman will, accent t}ie proposition
andthe governor wiH bid higher to- get
hitn out of the^. way Cummins is no
cheap nun. If yon want to shelve him
—and there's no doubt of that—you
must make the inducement big enough.

Hon. V. R. McGinnis, democratic

progressive ideAs, absolutely honest
and a de nocrat of the Jeitlarson school.
His election would mean much to the
people of the eighth district.—Seymour

Si
Tlie democrats of the Eighth congress
ional district at their convention at
Corning last week nominated our friend
V. R. McGinnis, of Decatur county, for
congress. We have known Mr. Mc
Ginnis personally for several years and
we know he is fitted in every respect to
ably represent the Eighth district in
cougress, and the democrats could not
have selected a man who is more re
spected than Mr. McGinnis.—Chariton
Herald, (rep.) *4r
The voters of the Eighth district have
a chance to yote for a congressman who
is not under the control of the corpora
tions and trusts. V. R. McGinnis, who
was nominated last week by the' demo
cratic convention at Corning, will look
after the interests of the people. He is
opposed to imperialism in any form, is
a true American in principle, in action
and education a man with a clear
record, a Jeffersonian democrat, and a
man of, for and with the people in all
things that will or can insure to their
interest and welfare. Make up your
mind to work and vote for him in pref
erence to the corporation tool, W. P.
Hepburn.—Mt, Ayr Journal., ,»j,. ,wr
••f.:
V. R. McGinnis, a prominent young
attorney of Leon, Ibwa, has been nom
inated by acclamation by the democrats
of the 8th Congressional District ot
Iowa for congress. That district in
Iowa is just across the line from the 3rd
district of Missouri and is a strong re
publican district. It is predicted, how
ever, that McGinnis will be elected.
He is a self made man, is honest and
and has many republican friends in the
district who will support him. The
editor of this paper is glad to state that
he is a personal friend to McGinnis and
believes that the aemocrata 'Of that dis
trict could not have found a stronger
man for the place.—King City (Mo.)
Democrat.':
V. R. McGinnis, the unanimous choice
of the convention, was nominated for
congressman fiom this district by accla
mation. Mr. McGinnis, whose home is
in-Leon, Decatur county, is one of the
ablest lawyers in the district as well as
an all-round strong man. He will make
a magnificent campaign. In the cam
paign of '96, Wm. J. Bryan had no
abler champion in the district. There
is not a shadow of a reason why any*
one not in sympathy with our present
trust-ridden administration and its- im
perialistic policy should not give bis
whole hearted, unqualified support to
the contention's choice Pete Hepburn
will find he has an antagonist at every
point worthy of his. mettle.—Fremont
county Herald.
V. R. McGinnis, our candidate ior
congress, was horn in Ohio in 1861 and
is therefore thitfpr.-uine ydars old. He
has lived in Iowa sixteen years, thirteen
years, of which he has spent' in
Decatur county. He has as large a law
practice as any lawyerin the third judic
ial, and was a partner of the late E. W.
Curry, at the time of the tatter's death.
Mr. McGinnis is a life long democrat as
was his father and grandfather before
him, so that we have a candidate this
year who will receive the vote: of 'every
democrat and who is: ailso very- stfong
with*the populists and Lincoln 'republi
cans and will receive' thfeir solid ^rote.
Col. Hepburn had only 823 majority in
1896 and with a united united effort we
ought to overcome this small majority
this year. Mr. McGinnis will stnmp
every county in the district. Let us all
put our shoulder to the wheel and help
him with the work.—Chariton Demo

WHO M'GINNIS IS.
The Clarinda Herald puts the follow
ing question into the mouths of Eighth,
district democrats. Ii says:
"And now the question among tbe
democrats of this congressional district
is 'whojunder-the
.sunisrBf cGinnis?'
We do W believe' there lib^iinji
enlightened democrats in the Eighth
district whb, after reading their county
papers slpcfe^ themeetingof- the .j$ighth

ing do not know who McGi|inis is.
Mr."V. B* McGinnis, th# democratic
nominee for coBgress in mis disirict,
reudes at Leon, Decatur%oiinty, in^the
eastern.portion of this district, '(we sup
pose Brother Lisle knows where tl
and is a practicing attorney of more
than ordinary ability. He' is a VoonlN
man, between 35 and 40 yeara' of i^ef*1'1
wjil educated, a gQod s^kfr-, a ^perfe^'
gentleman, ot eiemphtry, habits.h'ighly
esteemed by his neighbor* at hornet

For some time Morf^hs ihMb tf
W.Ctifry, former member of .the dear
3r,
ocratic state committee of this district,
and chairman of the state committee in
1896 at the time of his death, Mr. Mc
Ginnis was his law partner.
Mr. McGinnis isi'ia democrat, who
believes in the principles of government
'ot the people, tor the people, and by
the people,' instead of government by
trusts, corporations and by injunction.
He stands for the principle of equality
for all, special privileges to none. He
Btands fori an American system of
money for America, all money to be is
sued by the government as against rel
egating the issuance of money to the
National banks. He stands opposed to
a large standing army, as dangerous to
the rights of a free people. He stands
for legitimate expansion for trade, but
opposed to forced expansion for terri
torial aggrandizement. He stands for a
republic, as against an empire, opposed
to a colonial I system for this republic
outside of the provisions of our consti
tution. He stands opposed to militar
ism, imperialism and trusts.
V. R. McGinnis will make a vigorous
canvass of this* district, and before the
close of the .campaign no interested'
democrat or republican either will need
to ask who V. R. McGinnis is.' He will
give the democrats of the western end
of the district Hhe same opportunity to
know him those of the eastern end have
enjoyed, and if the democrats of Page
county and Clarinda, will give to him
the assistance and support they should
give him, as the representative of the
vital principles democracy islands for ip
this campaign, the Advertiser will giu&*
antee that when the-votes are counted
out after the November election the big
majorities Mr. Hepburn has been re
ceiving in that strong republican county
will be considerably decreased if iot al
together wiped duit.
If Brother Lisle, of the Clarinda Her
ald, is really desirous of enlightening
the citizens of bis county as to who Mc
Ginnis is, he has our permission to re

tangled us in one, an unwritten alliance

Mr. Habercom has published the follow

WEBSTER DAVIS' EXAMPE FOLLOWED.
Kansas City, July 17.-—Webster Dayis,
formerly assistant secretary of the in
terior, who at the democratic national
convention in this city, formally with
drew from the republican party and
announced his intention of supporting
the democratic ticket, has been deluged
with telegrams and letters congratulat
ing him on his position.
Mr. Davis just now is spending his
days quietly at his modest little home
on east Twelfth street, watching over
his invalid father, who haB been a great
sufferer for years, and who is passing
through one of the crisis of his dis
ease.
Mr. Davis feels the criticism of his
former friends yerv keenly—the abuse
of his enemies and the misrepresenta
tions of republican newspapers he
laughs at as a thing to be expected.
With the bitter has come a good deal
of sweet in the shape of hundreds of
telegrams and letters of encouragement
and congratulation from democrats,
populists and republicans from all parts
of the country, commending his course
and bidding him God speed, in his cham
pionship oCtthe 'cauw of liberty fct home
and abroad. A steady stream of- callers
has poured into bis homer* too, since
the day of his memorable speech In the
^democratic convention—men of promi
nence and men from the ranks of toil—
to sbake him by the hand and congrat
ulate him on tbe step he has taken.
These letters and telegrams and persotf
al assurances are grateful to Mr. Davis,
and he does not hesitate to say so.
FOR THE CAUSE'S «OOD.
A reporter who called on Mr. Davis
was permitted to dip into the pile of
letters and telegrams. There were more
than 300 of them. Fully two-third were
from entire strangers, and at least half
of them were from republicans, assuring
him of their sympathy and pledging
their support. There was also almost a
bushel basket of invitations to him to
deliver speeches, political and otherwise,
tor love and for money in every section
of the country.
The reporter was allowed to cull a few
extracts from the letters, on the ex
pressed condition that the personal
praise be left out. Mr. Davis said:
"I will let you copy these letters, as
many as you wish, because I think it is
due to the cause that they be published.
But I do not want any advertising just
now. I am getting a little to much of
it," he continued with bis boyish laugh.
"I am not actuated by personal motives
and 1 am not a candidate for any office
and will not accept any that may be
offered as a result of this work.
"At present all I ask is to be let alone
to be allowed to exercise the right of
every American citizen to think and
speak freely as my conscience dictates."
It would be impossible to give more
than brief extracts from a few of the
letters. Those tbat follow were picked
at random from the unassorted pile:
J. M.Glasgow, an attorney, of Seattle,
Washington, and a former republican
writes:
"I want to congratulate you upon the
stand you have taken. I rejoice with a
great many others that you .have cut
the Hanna crowd cold. They have .no
use for a msn who entertains a senti
ment (and dares express it) for liberty
and the rights of man. Tbe republican
.party, was once the party of liberty, but
it is now no longer. The new democ
racy—the party of Bryan—is the party
of Jefferson and of Lincoln revived.
You will find a royal welcome alt over
the country."
John A. Andrus, a republican attor
ney at Ashtbn, III., congratulates Mr.
Davis, and e^ays:
"By ell mesas speak in strong terms
favoringibe Boers then of imperialism!
then of militarism. Two-thirds of the
voters here are German or German de
scent, and strongly sympathize with the
Boers. In conscience, who does not?"
WILL FOLLOW HIM.
Frank L. Cbaney, a^}bie«(go lawyer,
writes:
"I congratulate yon upon the
cent stand you have taken for
Americanism. Your sacrifice of
and honors for pri^piple is grand. And
your courageous declaration. of yester
Democratic
"We hold that tbe Constitution
follows the flag. To impose upon
any people a government of force is
to substitute the methods of im
perialism for those of a republic.
We regard it (imperialism) as the
paramount issue of this campaign."
"Private monopolies are indefensi
ble and intolerable. We pledge the
democratic party to an unceasing
warfare in nation, state and city
against private monopoly in everv
form."
i,
W. B. Clarkson, of Des Moines, Iowa:
"I recall the old days of '9§ in the
stand-up-for-Missouri campaign when
those of us who helped William Warner
fight bis battle at that time expended a
great deal of hot air and enthusiasm
chasing after a myth. What wonderful
changes have come over us since those
days.
"The republican party left me in 1896,
together with a great many of the other
boys who were your friends and ad
mirers at tbat time, and, in fact, always
have been your friends and ad
mirers. Imagine my delight then at
reading tbe press reports of your speech
in the democratic convention at Kansas
City."
MORE CONGRATULATIONS.
TARIFF.'
"We condemn the Dingley Tariff
law as a trust-breeding measure."
"We reiterate the demand for an
American financial system
and as a part of such system the
immediate restoration of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver and
gold at the legal ratio of 16 to 1."
"We favor the reduction and
speedy repeal of the war taxes and
a return to tbe time-honored demo
cratic policy of strict economy in
government expenditures."
"Speaking as we do for the entire
American nation, except its Repub
lican office holders, and for all free
men everywhere, we extend our
sympathy to the heroic burghers of
South Africa in their unequal strug
gle to inaintain their liberty and in
dependence,"
day was a most fitting clinch,
congratulate you."
Joseph L. Murphy, attorney at Los
Angeles, Cal., writes:
"I read your speech at the Kansas
City convention in this morning's paper
with great pleasure. It was the only
proper step for you to take under the
circumstances. And a great many of
us who have always voted the republi
can ticket will be with you this yei^or
Bry«nu *-nopc you »ui
property rewarded for your brave ac
tion, and if not you will have the satis
faction of knowing you have done right
in tbe most critical period in the history
of our country."
C. H. Smith, publisher of the Warsaw,
Mo. Tribune, formerly a red hot repub
lican:
"I take the liberty to congratulate
you on your speech before the national
democratic convention. It was plain
and to the point and shows to the
world that no political party could come
between you and your fight for liberty.'
"Standing by your convictions, you
will wield a mighty influence in this
campaign for tbe only party that stands
for liberty to-day."
Frank B. Ray, of New York, writes:
"I am not at all surprised in fact,
I have been expecting tbat you would
find your true place in this campaign jja
the democratic party..?
"I voted for Abraha'm Lincoln and
for every nominee since, until McKinley
was nominated tour years ago. I can
truly say that I have never changed any
of my principles.
"The supremacy of the man over tbe
dollar was taught by Lincoln also the
danger of large combinations of capital
with special privileges. In fact in read
ing the democratic platform over, plank
by plank, I find nothing that has not
been upheld by the forefathers of the
republican party. As I still belieye in
these ptinciles and as the modern re
publican party has repudiated them, I
shall cast my vote with those who advo
cate them."
Wesley A. Stewart, lawyer, of Sturgis,
S. D.:
"Writer has just finished reading
your truly American speech delivered
before the national convention, and
permit me to assure, you tbat it has
stirred the very soul of every democrat
in the Black Hills with patriotic joy.
Like Attorney General Monett, of Ohio,
you have sacrificed material advantage
for lofty principle, and I believe you to

more than poor kinds.
