DEs MONIES. Ia. Aug. 26.-The state is
cracked. Iarrabee continues invincible
aud more master of the field than yesterday.
The evening papers made last appeal III
behalf Of Hull aS being Il brave soldier and
candidate who always Outruns his ticket.
But neither paper while bluffing rs
to the probabilities of the first ballot shows
anv lively hope that Hull can be nominated.
Hull can still have the second place, and it
is heartily offered from numerous quarters.
Indeed. ii is probable he will be nominated
by the convention. and will need to make
his declm2tiOn there. If there is any
animOsity towards him it must be
among the Given delegates. But the cap
tain is game. and declares no emergency
can arise which viii Justify him in accept
ing such motion. He says no man in pol
itics can afford 10 risk a backward promo
ton. His attitude makes b. (. ClaytOn'S

PRACTICALLY CERTAIN.
There is some probability that Gen. Given
has been shut out OF any chance at all. He
has been switched out Of the gubenatOrial
contest. His friends claim that he could
beat Beck out of the supreme iudgeship. but
there are obstacles in Given's track. Beck is
candidate for a fourth term. hence he is not
specially strong. but he has until to-day
been the only candidate. Given has changed
his base on the eve of battle. He entered
the gubematOral race in seeming good faith
and finding that LaTabee is sure winner
he withdraws. Jockey like, and en-
terS for another contest. Giyen'S
change OF front has brought out deter
mined opposition. The anti-mOnopolistS
feel sure that Beck is mpIiabie and Giyen's
judicial experience. which no one aSperSeS,
is as Yet too brief to inspire confidence. The
temperance delegates are testy over GIven's
candidacy, and say they viii do all in their
power fer the only friend they had in the
supreme court in the
AMENDMENT DAYS.
They remark significantly that they had
influence enough to balk Judge Days nom
inatiOn. Beyond this they will not show
their hands. However, Brede seems to
be safe. and hence there viii be no COM
plicatiOnS arising here. nor will it particU-

but the question of LaTrabee'S election
was involved. There are still many
delegates who insist that the Brown case is
purely personal affair. They admit he
has been unfairly treated. but argue that
the convention has no judicial powers to de-
clare for or against him.
This evening the matter is still open and
unsettled. butnegotiations are still pending.
