removed 70 Monona county, where
he has lived ever since. Shortly af-
ter taking up his residence In Mono
nh county. his friends recognizing
his ability and superior Judgment in
legal matters coupled with liberal
knowledge Of law which he had
gathered at odd hours, elected him
county Judge, which position he ably
filled with great credit to himself
and his constituents for Il number OF
years. In 1873 Mr.. Whiting was
nominated for lieutenant governor
on the ticket with Vail. In 1875 he

The Platform and Candidates.

The recent convention III Cedar
Rapid W. one uf fhe largest ane
most harmonious ever assembled II
the State. Its work WIS done II
order and with marked devotion
TO principle. The platform IN II
material point differs from that q
the Des Moines convention. Ali,
wherein II differs the convention
corrected it by nominating a can.
didate for governor whose entir.
sympathics upon the all important
question Of finance Is with the pe0.
pie and against the national banl
monopoly. He is thoroughly indoc
frinated with the principles of anti
monopoly and has been for the pas
twelve years at least. He is Il farEl-
er who oversees and takes charge
or farm Of over 5000 acres stu
ated in Monona county. and upon
grove than upon any other one farm
in Iowa. On the question Of finance
transportation, and the control q
the telegraph lines as the medium
speedy and cheap communication in
the transaction OF business, he has
for years stood shoulder to shoulder
with the most Jealous greenbackers
or anti-monopolists OF the land. He
has only differed with us on one point,
that all that We demand would come
to the people through democratic
success. It looks that way when
such anti-monopolists become the
candidates OF that party. On state
issues the platform is in harmony
with the Des Moines convention,
and with such friends of the silver
coinage. and the control Of all mo-.
nopolies in the interest Of the pub
lie, as are found in Judge Chas. T..
Whiting and Hon. +. H. Gillette, a
man mnst bea cynic who is not
satisfied. In the past the friends of
labor have been ignored. now they
are to the front, they have one Of
their own class, practical farmer
as their candidate for governor with
a candid ate for Lieutenant governor
who in and out congress has shown
himself equally devoted to their in
terests and prosperity.
For Judge Of the supreme court
they have presented a man who
from his learning, ability and integ.
rity is the peer Of any man in the
state and thoroughly in sympathy
with the public interests Of Iowa.
Our candidate for superintendent
Of public institution is thoroughly
qualified to discharge the trust. the
office will impose. not in partizan
way but for the public veal. This
most excellent ticket may be found
at our mast head and the plat
forms upon which the candidates
are nominated will be found else
where and are worthy of the candid
and careful reading OF every voter
in the state.

AT one time, says the Chicago Trib-
nne, it seemed likely there would be
in Grants case, as in Garfield's, hot
popular debate as to whether life might
not have been saved by different
course of treatment, and whether the
ply sicians sho I'D not be put on trial
for malpraciice. Fortunately. this dis
position soon died away. and the con-
viction soon became general that while
death was inevitable the physicians
were doing all i'll human power to re-
lieve the Suffering OF the distinguished
patient. There is not much that is
cdifying or instructive in general
popular debate as to the proper treat
ment OF disease, ard fortunately
there is to b. no public clamor con-
corning the medical treatment Of Cen
eral Grant during il $ last illness. In
the account OF General Grants illness,
written by i'r. q. L. Shrady, there is
much to interest non-professional read
ers. The Doctor states that from the
beginning ali the physicians were
agreed that death was inevitable un-
less the cancer could be 8, tirpated by
a radical surgical operation. The MAX
ing Of such an attempt was thoroughly
discussed, but finally abandoned. DR..
Shrady says such an operation was
mechanically p ssible, but at the
very best it would have left the
patient fearfully mutilatcd and
specifies for life, involving as
it did the division OF the lower jaw
and the entire removal of the tongue.
There was also great danger that the
operation itself would cause immediate
death. For these reasons DR.. Shradv
says that Sin the best interests of the
distinguished patient the surgeons did
not feel inclined to recommend the
procedure" and certainly this conclu-
sion seems well justified. DR.. Shrady
says there were serious complications
aside from the throat disease, and that
the breaking down of the patients sys-
tenn was dependent in great measure
upon other causes" The physicians
were all agreed that severe mental
strain. occasioned by pecnniary embar-
rassment, and attended with great
physical prostration,' was . strong
feature of the case from the beginning,
and fastened the final result. Still
the physicians note tho heroic and res
olute character of the patient, and say
that his power OF bearing psin, re-
pressing his feelings, and maintaining
his mental composure was calculated to
deceive casual observers as to his real
condition. Many of the Generals Wis
itors would leave impressed with tho
idea that his condition was not as seri-
Gus NJ represented, but, is DR.. Shrady
says, the disease was always there,
slowly but surely progressing, resist
ing every treatment, dcfying every
hope of cure, and grimly inviting the
inevitable issue. lie 1900. 'nedical

AnIOWa Scheme.

The true inwardness o. the pro-
posed consolidation OF q number 81
local Iowa roads and Mr.. Acker-
mans trip and tour II inspection
cuts somewhat different face Oh
the matter than when first broached
The roads mentioned in the scheme
are the Minnesota & Northwestern
the Dubuqe u Sioux City, the Cedar
Falls & Dubuque Il Dakota, and
Diagonal. Three Of these lines are
under lease to the Illinois Central
and the rest are operating In Il
diminishing sort sort Of way rs
mere local roads. The construction
Of the Minnesota & Northwestern
has given tLe Illinois Central an
operating entrance into st, Paul
which it is anxious to improve. To
reach it, it takes rather circuitous
route, using its leased line from
Dubuque. BY the building Of Il line
from Dubuque to Mona it secures il
cutoff Of about forty miles and re-
duces the distance to figure where
by 1t can compete very favorably
with the other lines. This road is
now being constructed. and there is
the best OF evidence that the Illinois
Central is backing the enterprise
and will control it when finished.
This puts it in IL position where it
can dictate terms or abandon its
leased roads unless it can renew the
lease ut lower rental. On the
other hand, the number Of the cast
crn stockholders in these roads have
been inspired with the idea that by
a consolidation under one manage
