IOWA REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
The Delegates Very Enthusiastic Over
Allison
DFs MoINFs Ia March

DEs MONIES, Ia, March 2l.
The republican State convention was call
ed to order at noon in the Grand Opera
House. Every inch of standing room was
occupied, the boxes being filled with ladies'.
J. p. Dolliver, the temporary chairman
spoke in high eulogy of the republican party
and its great statesman VIM. b. Allison At
the close of Delivers speech life sized por
trait of Allison was lowered over the stage
amid prolonged cheering and great enthusi-
asm. After announcing the committees and
names of district delegates, the convention
took recess.
When the convention re-assembled. Chair
man Clark of the committee on resolutions
read his report, which was adopted with
three tremendous cheers.
Realizing at this time on the eve of the
meeting of the National Convention that the
platform of principles by the republicans of
this State is not required further than de-
claration of re-afrmation of the past and the
announced position of the party yet the Re
publicans of Iowa improve the opportunity
to declare that with unanmity and enthusi-
asm we present the name of VIM. b. Allison
to the Republican Convention for nomination
for the Office of President of the United
States. and we do this. not from a feeling
of State pride, but from the profound
conviction that we are acting in obedience
to the obligation now resting upon the repub-
llcans everywhere to urge the selection of
the strongest ane best candidate. His quar-
ter centering the service of both branches of
Congress has been conspicuous for LOYALTY to
the republic, fidelity to the principles that
underle the government, for profound
knowledge of the material resources and
needs of the nation for great wisdom and
skill in finance and for broad and prudent
craftsmanship. In party counsels he has
been foe of faction a fearless but ever
courteous foe. He is in the full
vigor of mental and physical
powers, and is genial, afiable and approacha
BILE. Never acting from passion and rarely
from impulse but uniformly from calm CON
sideration and judgment, kind i'll thought
speech and purpose, he is the embodiment of
personal and official integrity. He presents
a rare combination of all the elements for a
strong party candidate. a wise, popular and
honored executive, and we commend his
name to the judgment of the republicans of
the nation.
Ex-Congre Hepburn made a stirring
speech, and an Allison brigade was organ
lied to go to Chicago in June.
