The Iowa Republican Convention, in ite
meeting at Des Moines was largely attended.
Col. Sapp presided. Gov. Larrabee was
nominated for permanent president and
also Geo. F. NJ. Drake. the latter by Mr.
Hotter, who urged recognition OF the 6. A.
r. Col. Sapp. ex-Speaker Afford aud 9TH
ers said they were Grand Army men. but
they were not clamorous for such action
Mr. GARRISON and Col. Henderson were
to be conceded as delegates at large. II
Gov. Larrabee's legislative supporters
were not recognized they would spring the
governor for delegate at large, which
might defeat Col. Henderson. Certainly
the convention would not select both Lar
rabee and Henderson anyway. Gen. Drake
was already a district delegate Gov. Lar
rabee received all but two votes
On behalf OF the state committee it wa,
moved and carried that nominations for
delegates at large be made without NOM
mating speeches. The name OF Col. Hen
derson was presented by Senator Seeds,
and on call he was chosen by accla nation.
Hon. John 7. Stone was next presented
and an attempt was made to escape this
ballot on him. but this failed Mr.. Clark
son was named, and failed the same way.
Hon. George D. Perkins was NOM
mated. Post Office address, was
yelled from the stage. Gov. Lar
rabee was next named but Dr.

tee, stated that the governor mad said thai,
he did not want his name used. Chairms
Dolliver was then presented, and perhal-.
would have been chosen instanter, but
he recognized HIS townsman ex-senator
Measervy, who stated that Mr.. DolliveI
was not a candidate. His constituents
had other uses for him. The roll call was
then taken, resulting, after many changes
had been made, as follows:
Stopo on. (1o rl SI5. GAG.
Dolliver, SO; Larrabee, 124; Brewer, 5.
Besides lone for Maginnis," for whom
there were loud calls when the pools clos
ed. Messrs. Clarkson. Perkins and DOLL.
yer were ratified by reclamation.
Col. e. S. Ormsby, OF Palo Alto; John
son Brigham, OF Cedar Rapids; c. NJ.
Ladd, OF Ottumwa, and S. C. Mcfarland,
OF Marshalltown, were chosen as alter.
mates by acclamation.
The committee on resolutions then re.
ported.
Realizing at this time on the eve OF the
meeting OF the national convention that a
platform Of principles by the Republicans
OF this state is not required further than a
declaration OF re-affirmation OF the past
announced position OF the party, yet the
Republicans OF Iowa improve this oppor-
tunity to declare that with unanimity
and enthusiasm we present the name OF
William r. Allison to the Republican con-
vention for nomination for the Office OF
President Of the United States, and we
do this, not from a feeling OF state
pride. but from a profound conviction
that we are acting i'll obedience to an OBJ.
legation now resting upon Republicans
everywhere to urge the selection only OF
the strongest and best candidate His
quarter OF a century OF service in both
branches OF congress has been conspicuous
for loyalty to the Republic; for fidelity to-
principles that underlie the governments
for profound knowledge OF the material
resources and needs OF the nation; for
great wisdom and skill in finance; for broad
and prudent craftsmanship. In party
couDsels he has beenthe foe ofiacti on; a fear.
less, but ever courteous foe. He is in the
full vigor OF his mental and physical pow
ers genial affable and approachable. New.
er acting from passion, rarely from i'm
pulse. but uniformly from calm considera,
ton and Judgment; kind in thought and
speech and purpose, the embodiment oil
personal and official integrity He pre-.
sents a rare combination of all the ele-
ments for a strong party candidate and a
wise, popular and honored executive. and
we commend his name to the Judgment OF
the Republicans OF the nation.
Ex-Congressman Hepburn made stir.
ring speech, and an Allison brigade was
organized to go to Chicago in June.
