A REPUBLICAN, HOWL OF DIS.
TREss III IOWA,
a Live ~ Caucus.

The Republican State Committee, the
Republican congressman elect, Senator
Kirkwood and other prominent party mag
mates had a session at Des Moines yester-
day on the question of November election.
and this morning it is given out to the
public that the conclusion was reached to
have nothing to do with november cleo
ton but to stand on the October result.
Hiram Price strongly objected to this
| course. He declared that the letter of
the law was on the side of a November
election and that he proposed to run his
District right over again as upon Novem
Der success only should he hope to sit in
the next Congress. Speaking to his col
leagues elect, he said Gentlemen you
can't bind me and | warn you your heads
will all come off, while | propose to save
mine.
James f. Wilson said, But Mr.. Price
you must remember the Democrats after
being out Of power for twenty years are
now inside. They have both houses of the
next Congress any way and they won t
dare exclude the men elected in October
Dare, said Prince, dare, of course
they will dare and we would do the same
thing in the same position. Personally
l should do it with good will and con
science aud the Democrats will be fools
and towards if they don't for they have
the law on their side, and you may caucus
all you please am standing for Novem-
Dor election.
Here Senator Kirkwood interposed say
ing, But Mr.. Price ii you sever from your
colleagues you will supply the democratic
house with an argument for their exclusion
You will introduce disturbing element.
You must not break the unity OF our coun-
ellis"
At this Mr.. Price nearly screamed uni
ty be id" and did declare his intention
to secure his own calling and election,
The shIrt-collars of the caucus were
pretty well sweated through and Frank
Hatton clinched the matter by declaring
that the party ammunition was exhausted
and the committee could not stand anoth-
er campaign, and by majority vote it was
decided not to have November election.
After this Mr.. Price kicked over the traces
with much noise and emphasis.
In the by-play was Gov. Gears conf
dent and cheerful declaration that mo
man could get into the house without the
Great seal of the state on his certificate, -
to which an ex-member retorted, Mr..
Gear, guess you never we're in congress,
Members will get 10 by the clerk putting
their names on the roll and the Great
seal counts for no more than the x mark
of an illiterate drunkard hauled up before
police judge. "-lOs0d City Press

Very Logical.

The Union says the republicans expect
to make gains in seven states which it
enumerates. and gives as reason for the
great expectation that the tendency of
the present political contest in the states
named is in the direction of an uncom-
promising position upon the money
question. THAT is. to forced resumption
and the permanency of the national
banking SYSTEM
II further adds:
The success in Ohio, where the battle
was made for sound currency, has remov-
ed nearly all the doubts which any repub'
liean may have had as to the position
which the party should take. The popular
strength of the sound money theory in
Ohio shows that the backbone of the fat
movement has been broken.
The evidence of popular strength in
Ohio which it go much relies upon is made
apparent from the official vote, which is
given as follows:
Nat vote $685.

The Condition OF Our Local
CrOpS July Ist.

The return to the Agricultural Depart
