WATERLOO, Ia, September 5.-A big
sensation in local political circles has been
created by the announcement that several
prominent Republicans have determined
to vote for Cleveland. Among those men.
toned were Judge J. D. Platt, President
of the Commercial National Bank; Hon.
Lore Afford, one of the most prominent
attorneys in Iowa and ex.Speaker of the
Republican HOUSE of Representatives.
Judge Platt says he cannot longer sup
port the Republican party because of its
position on the tariff question. In an
honest, fair-minded expression he can find
little to criticizs in Cleveland's sdministra-
ton. He has been Republican since the
campaign of 1860, when he supported
Douglass, but wheeled into line with the
war party aud afterwards supported Lin
coin, Grant aud Garfield. He has been
with the Republican party, though not al
extreme partisan, during and since
the war. He believes that the
Democratic party represented by
Cleveland rs the candidate is following
in the line of Grant, Hayes, Gar
field and Arthur in demanding just re-
duction of the tariff, while the Republican
party is on record as opposing, in their
Chicago platform, the oft asserted principle
of that party of tariff reform. The Judge
prefers to follow principles rather than
party, and believes the best interests of the
country and the good of the laboring man
will be best served by the election Of
Cleveland and Thurman.
Mr.. Afford differs with his party on the
tariff and free whisky planks, and will vote
for Cleveland.

CIARKsBURG, W. VA, September s.
There was q perceptible change in the
Congressional situation this morning. A
DoVsner man from Ohio county summed
it all up briefly:
Yesterday, those fellows coming down
were all DOVener men. To-day they won't
say id word"
The delegates had slept on the situation
and . change had come over the. spirit OF
their dreams. The an,i-Doyener senti-
msnt had rapidly crystalized. The work
Of the valiant old.timers, who loud
ly proclaimed that they were for any
body to beat him, WAS having its effect.
They boosted that ii only they could keep
Dovsner out on the first ballot they would
beat him certain, and the result showed
that they had not Teckoned without their
host. A. w. Campbell was dead as a po-
lItical possibility, and The fight waged hot
and furious between the other two Ohio
county men. John A. CampbelPs sup
portsrs rested quietly while it went on,
secure in the fact that it could only bsne-
fit their candidate. Such was the situs-
ton when the convention opened. 1t showed
Atkinson in the lead, with Doyener close
second and John A. Campbell general
field fayorite, and such it continued with
out change until the first ballot was taken
Atkinson, "a had been calculated, WAS a
steady gamer. DOSener lost as steadily
and the sixth ballot saw the distinguished

The second ballot was Immediately
taken, showing no decided changes II
resulted: Dcyener 81, Atkinson rs,
Campbell %, A. W. Campbell 4.
Again there was no choice and the third
ballot began.
1t showed Atkinson gradually pulling
away from his opponents. While Dovener
lost 4 votes in Ohio, Campbell lost in ths
interior counties, and the vote stood
Dovener 63, Atkinson 81, Campbell Il,
A. w. Campbell 4, 1, II. Duvall 2.
The tide was now setting against Dove
ner. He began lose heavily on the fourth
ballot. Brooke started the break by vot.
ing solid for John 4. Campbell. Doddridge
divided six of her Dovener votes between
Campbell and Atkinson. Lewis county
delegates bolted their instructions and split
their ballot, giving Campbell q plurality.
Dovener lost again on the fifth ballot IN
Ohio, while his Tyler county vote went Y
Campbell. The totals were as follows
Dovener so, Campbell S54, Atkinson sl3,
A. W. Campbell 3.
DovENER WAS BEATEN.
He had made his fight and it had gone
against him, but there was still hope that
he might influence the result sufficiently
to prevent the nomination of his Ohio
county opponent. The word went round
that the Dovener men were TO 60 TO John
A. Campbell. Anything, was the cry
among the Dovener contingent, to prevent
the nomination of the favorite of Dovener's
enemies. Atkinson was the most distaste-
ful to the Dovener men of all the aspirants.
Such was the plan and it was carried
out with marvellous precision, showing
howl we'll Dovener's followers were III
hand. Brooke again voted solid for
Campbell though against the protest Of
one of her delegates Doddridge followed
with 9 more, Harrison gave Campbell J
more, Ohio voted 20 for him. The COM

ing if the order has been sold out, and
wanting to know when the chattles are tC

my advice to-day is the same as ii has
always been: Let the Knights of Labor,
in common with all other workingmen in
the various congressional districts, take
an active part in the selection Of good con
gressiousl material, regardless Of party,
aud pledge candidates to support meas
ures fayoring the interests of labor. i
this is done and Congress meets with 9
majority of such men, you may rest as
sured that, no matter who is President, ht
will never be called upon 60 veto meas
ure which opposes the industrial interests
of this country.
"All that the President can do is to sigr
or veto, but Congress can do the work, and
while it would be very important TO have
President of our own way of thinking
l find that our members think to many
ways on the tariff that none of the candi'
dates in this year of our Lord will fill the
bill and give satisfaction to ALL"
''Do you fear any disastrous results t.
the order from Mr.. Litchman's resigns
tion?"
None at all. Whatever the results
may be to Mr.. Litchman, the order will &
right on"
Mr.. Powderly concluded by stating tha
the only presidential candidate he had no
been urged to support thus far was Belvs
Lockwood. He denied emphatically the
rumor that he would support Harrison.
