TIE RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS RENoMuNArED Al
THRIR COURSE HEARTILY INDORsEp.

THE RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS RENONINATBD AND
THEIR COURSE HEARTILY IND0RsED.
DIES M0INEs, Iowa, August 23.-Much excitement
and confusion prevailed in the convention last
night when the choice OF candidates for railway
commissioners was approached. An unusually
large number OF names W as put forward. Spencer
smith and Frank I. Campbell, present incumbents,
were elected On the first ballot. John Mahtn OF
Muscatine captured on the next ballot the nomina-
ZION Tor the remaining commissionership.
The platform indOrses the nomination OF Harri-
son and Morton and the declarations OF principles
adopted BY the Chicago convention. It also de-
the bill TO return the direct war tax and for pre-
venting Dakota from assuming statehood, favors
liberal pensions and scarifes President Cleveland
Tor his vetoes. The conclusion is an eloquent
tribute to "herolc Phil Sheridan" Governor Lar
raoee Is commended for the courage and fidelity
ne has displayed In standing for the rights Of the
people, aud the platform then says:
I'VE declare our hrm adherence to the principle
OF the legislative control OF railways and other
corporations. Having been created by the Gov
ernment they are, OF right, subject to such Just
laws as may be enacted Tor their control and must
obey the same We would deal Justly with cOrpo-
Iations, as with individual interests, but we de-
mand that the people shall be fully protected In
all directions from corporate rapacJy, whether
arising from Determinations, combines railways
or other aggregated capital We commend the
general railway legislation OF the last assembly OF
our state. We commend the temperance legisla-
tiOh 1naugurated In the eighteenth general assem-
Oily and the faithful obedience OF all subsequent
general assemblies to the expressed will OF ma
lority OF the people, which has given to Iowa the
best prohibitory law in the United States"
