HON. ". R MERRIAM Republican Candidate for Governor.

AN attempt to commit the 10 wa w. G.
L. q. to an endorsement of the Prohi.
bition political party has signally failed
and it will remain in the tf1ue and SEN
sible attitude of non-sectarian and non.
partisan work. A number of Jealous
third-party women have persistently at
tempted to reverse this wise policy and
place the Iowa union in line with the
National organization. Wednesday the
test of the relative strength of the two
parties was made in the election of Off
GERS for the ensuing year at the state
convention in session at Des MONIES.
Mrs. Foster was presented as the candi-
date Of the non-partisan members. In
the informal ballot Mrs. Foster received
226 votes and Mrs. Carhart 81, the third
party members supporting the latter.
On the formal ballot Mrs. Fosters vote
was the same, and she was declared
elected. In her speech of acceptance
she expressed qualification that the Iowa
Union had determined to stand by its
principles, which had led TO such sig
nal success. 1t is gratifying that the in
ligent ladies of Iowa have too much ap-
probation of the aid which the Repub-
lican party has given their cause in that
state to be drawn into the attitude of
hostility which the Union is taking in
many states.

The series of extempore speeches de.

THE series of extempore speeches de-
livered by Lincoln. while on his way
from Springfield to Washington, in the
spring of 1861, and the remarkable
speeches made by Blaine in the cam.
paign of 1884. are being paralleied by
the addresses of General Harrison since
his nomination in July. Indeed, in one
respect the present remarkable series
made by the Republican standard bear.
er surpass those of both Lincoln and
Blaine, in that they are read by SC
many more people. General Harrison
Is accomplishing as much for himself
for the ticket, for Republication and
for the country by remaining at home
as did Lincoln and Blaine by travelling
about. He is stumping the nation by
telegraph.

BY the introduction of the Senate
tariff bill which provides for certain
and absolute reduction of $65, 0O0, 900 in
taxes the Republicans at once placed
their political adversaries at a great dis
advantage and assumed such a COM
handing position that hereafter the
fight In this campaign should be COM
paratively easy. Advices from Wash
ington say that there is privately ex-
pressed among Democrats feeling that
the battle is already lost, and many of
the appointees of the present admins
tration are resignedly preparing for the
removal which seems certain to come.
The Democratic papers of the East
realize that their party leaders in the
House committed fatal blunder in at
lacking industries in doubtful states;
that they showed lamentable weakness
in placing strongly protective duties up
on sugar, rice and other Southern pro-
ducts, while they assailed the products
of the North with merciless savagerv
A Democratic Senator is quoted as fol-
lows:
The Republicans have such an advant-
age, at last, that l should not be sur
prised to see them come into the Fifty
first congress with majority of at least
twenty-five in the house. We are work
Ing and hoping, but it is only fair to adj
NIT among ourselves that we are in q
hole, and can only pull out by the exer-
else of the utmost diligence and care. :
