Iowa CITY, H., July -Ex-Secretary
Kirkwood sends the following to the
Gazette: Il notice that in your issue of
yesterday you quote Mr.. Mahin, of the
Muscatine journal, as stating in his pa
per that 'the ex-governor had threatened
to take the stump against the Republican
nominee for supreme judge, unless that
nominee should be Judge Day Mr.. Ma
hin is mistaken. l did not say so. l did
say, when speaking with some other Re-
publicans about the coming canvass, that
l could not and would not vote for any
candidate who might be
nominated over Judge Day; that
for the reason, might be embarrassed in
making speeches in case 1 went on the
stump; that, when making an old-fashion-
ed Republican speech in my old-fashioned
way, some impudent Democrat in the
audience might ask me if l intended to
vote for the Republican nominee for su-
preme Judge; that. being so asked, could
do only one of two things, either remain
silent, which would not lead to edifcation,
or say frankly that l would not vote for
the Republican nominee. I have a very
decided opinion that in the above dilemma
1 should not remain silent. Although
plain speaking has sometimes ITS embar-
rassm ents, it has its compensations.

all life the balance of the day The guard
is heavy and well conducted, so much so
that a captain had his leg pierced by a
bayonet for fooling with the guard. The
unanimous verdict of the officers is that it
served him right. Company drills and
regimental drill were well managed,
though many of the companies are young
The afternoon was spent in target prac.
tice, exhibiting many good marksmen.
