remarks eulogistic of Senator Little, clos

| Senator The motion received many Sec
onds, but pending the question Mr.. Little
arose and in feeling speech returned his
thanks to the people for the honor they
had conferred upon him in twice electing
him to the Senate, and to the convention
for the honor they now proposed to confer,
but declined to again be candidate. for
the reason that he could only serve, il
elected, at great personal sacrifice, and
he felt that his duty to himself and fami-
~ demanded that he should decline.

Owing 80 the lateness oil. the hour, we
| are unable to publish in this issue a de-
tailed statement Of the proceedings Of the
convention. We will say, however, that
in point of harmony and good feeling it
was all that could be desired.
The Republican party of Iowa county
to-day stands united and organized for
victory. 1t is free from sore-heads and
disappointed Office seekers, as the names
presented to the convention were not of
that kind. The ticket is strong one,
composed throughout Of competent and
popular men, and while we realize that
the county is close, we confidently pre-
diet that it will be elected.
