DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.
WEDNESDAY MORNING. 1890. MAY, i


In accordance with call of tae Democratic
Central Committee Of The State, the Democ-
rae Of Iowa assembled in Convention at the
State House, at Iowa City, on Wednesday the
2sth day Of April, and made choice of State
officers, Presidential Electors and y olcgatcs 10
the Baltimore Convention. The proceedings
we published in our Fridays Daily, with
promise to notice the Convention at some
length.
We were fearful before the assembling Of the
Convention that the uafavorable weather and
almost impossible state of the roads, would have
tendency TO preclude many from participating
in the Convention, who, under more favorable
circumstances, would have a strong desire TO do
so and ,hat in place Of full Convention, we
should have but few present But we were
agreeably disappointed Never did the Dcmoc
racy of Iowa come up in stronger array Men
from every county in tho State were in atten-
dance, ready and anxious to participate in the
deliberations OF the Convention, although some
| from the newly organized counties were neces
sariIy precuded for want Of data to establish
what should constitute thsir proper reprcsen
tation.
Gro. W. McCLEARy was nominated by nc
clamation as a candidate for Secretary of State,
and WILLIAM PArrEr ia Auditor These two
gentlemen are the present incumbents, and it is
due to them and the Democracy, TO say, that
they have discharged thr duties Of their respect.
| q ~ "a. i A
tentivc, obliging and correct in The discharge Of
.helr duties, they have cndcared themselves to
the party which henors them with its conf
dencc, and gwen their friends the strongest
assurance of their reelection in August, by an
overwhelming majority.
NJ. l.. MoREIs was nominated as candidate
for Treasurer. Mr. Morris is man of stcr-
lng integrity and well qualified for this post
lie is printer; was formerly connected with
the Reporter office, and latterly with that Of he
Iowa Star, and is universally Acknowledged as
a man eminently fitted tor this post
The gentlemen selected for Presidential
Electors, are the Hon. Gro. H. WILLIAMS, w
1 E. LEFFINGwELi, A. HALL, and J E. FLETcu-
Senatorial electors. They are all men of uu
doubted ability and probity of character, and
viii carry into the canvass character for strong
personal and political popularity. Mr.. VIII
LlAMs, as public speaker, occupies high pc,
stion, and tae other gentlemen rank far above
mediocrity. We confidently look for their tri
umphant election.
The Delegates to the Baltimore Convention
i are p b. BRADLEY, w. F, CooLBAUGH, 6 20
4 GILLAsrIE and S. S. CARPENTER. These are
gentlemen who will attend the Convention ant
act their part becoming to themselves, and tc
those who confded this important trust to then
charge.
The deliberations OF the Convention, were
characterized by great unanmity and harmony
and the resolutions of the Convention which
embody all the cardinal doctrines of the Demo
cratic party, we're warmly received and unani
mously adopted.
We look upon this Convention, as a sure
guarantee OF approaching victory, and although
the contest will be severe one, requiring
great amount of labor to be performed, we raay
frankly avow that we never entered COMES
with better heart, with stronger hopes o
success.
Let US be true to ourselves and the day VII
