Mn. ALLEYS AVAILABILITY.

n il should be asked why the Posi-
ISTELIlgExcER desires the nomination
Of John h. Allen for delegate to con-
gress, it may be answered, because
he is in all respects the most available
man whose name has been mentioned
IN connection With the nomination,
because he Is the strongest man
throughout the territory and would be
most certain TO bring success to the
Republican cause, because he has al
ways been consistent and unwayer-
ing Republican, because he IS man
of clean and upright life and has no
disreputable alliances, and, last but
not least. because he Is man Of real
ability who would cfeditably represent
the commonwealth which OF ell those
which comprise the United States pre-
SCENTS the lowest percentage OF Hitter
aey."
Mr.. Allen has warm and enthusiast
tic friends in all parts of the territory.
There Is not county in which he has
not personal a. cua!uiances VIC would
make strenuous efforts to secure Y, 'eS
for him. He has been a suiiraelst, but
he has never been crank on the sub
iect. and among his warmest support
ers Tor the nomination are many who
have been most active IN their opposi-
ton TO woman suffrage. There IS no
Republican VINO could not conscien-
tiou.ly vote for Mr.. Allen. \ man
who can unite the party thus conf
ple,eiy Is surely not one whose claims
are to be lightly regarded in com
monwealth in which the strength of
the great parties IS so evenly balanced
as in Washington Territory.
Mr.. Allen has no associations which
would render him In any degree una
valuable a. candidate. lie has no
corporation affiliations and is in the
broadest sense OF the word a man OF
the people. Himself a temperate man,
he has not carried bis temperance
opinions 10 such a point Of fanaticism
that his nomination would drive from
the Republican ticket support which
it w0uld otherwise receive Against
Mr. Allen personally not word can
be said He is in every respect a man
whose nomination would call cut the
fall Republican vote without driving a
single Republican into the ranks Of
the Democrats or Prohibitioni.ts.
Further than this, Mr.. Alien is a
man Of eminent ability The PEG
pie Of Washington territory are tired
OF being represented by a nonentlty
and are DESTROYS OF sending a man 10
Washington who viii ~ the peer Of
the men with whom he viii come in

and he Is, moreover, a man whose in
tercst- are thoroughly Identified with
the Interests OF the territory and not
one who would he compelled 70 look

i1g the ipaucnce which ability always

Without dstracting from the merits
ol the other candidates Tor the Repnb-
fcan nomination, it may be said that

Twenty-Second General Assembly

The Sol0nS of Iowa will convene next
Monday. They will not enter
upon the performance of their duties
unadyised. Indeed, suggestions have
been made by conventions, newspapers
and the public generally outlining OF
directing a program which is well nigh
impossible of execution. To legislate
wisely upon all the subjects introduced
would occupy decade, as the first
movement necessary is to ascertain the
present condition of the subject and
there must follow faithful cOnsidera-
tion Of the effect of proposed legislation,
Proposed remedies frequently fail Of
accomplishing the desired end, while
the motives Of the reformer often
times lose luster by investigation as
was the case with Cassatt and his min
ing bill of two years ago. Tln stump
orators can cite many real and imaein.
ary subjects needing legislation, and in
their campaign oratory profess to pos
sess means to relieve the country, but
it appears to be true that the great and
perhaps misguided public fails to dele,
gate these statesman to perform its
business.
Elsewhere will be found a synopsis
OF secretary of state JacksOn's report
denOminatiug the business avOcatiOns
OF the members of this assembly, from
which it will be concluded that il is
body of men capable and we believe as
whole inclined to legislate in the in
terests of a cOnfiding constituency,
rather than fall prey TO the lobby cor
ruptiOnists. 1t is a body that faithfully
represents the people and the diVefsl-
fed interests of Iowa. Against it the
cry of demagogy cannot be raised by
those protesting sincere criticism. 1t
will honestly consider the questions
and measures presented, and will give
= careful hearing to all. There are some
measures OF great Importance which
have been argued during the campaign,
WHiCh IL tlllo poiS ohoh edlSiolis Sol
slider, it will find we believe, fit subiacts
for their directing power, but to expect
ANAL settlement of these questions is
more than is warranted by reason. That
1t will enact some wholesome laws, with
= view to rendering an account to the
people rather than the demagogues, is
the mission of the reconstructed gen
arol accamhly

em0cratlc campaign.

The re election of James +. Wilson
TO the United States is assured unless
under currents Of public sentiment are
in operation. Whatever opposition has
developed was on the avowed principle
of securing soldier as his successor,
and that has been openly. The Home
stead has dealt undetermined thrusts, but
its influence was Overshadowed by the
personal nature of antagonism. The
soldier issue has been hampered by the
demagogicrl TRADE of the Homestead
and its minions, and because a multi
plicity Of candidates has been introduce

ator. whose experience is valuable to
the state and secures prestige which
would require years to acquire by new
member, the point of equal ability con

A Des Moines correspondent writes
the following personal chat about the
legislature of Iowa soon to meet: Sec
rotary Of State Jackson's official list of
members-elect of the Twenty Second
General Assembly includes some inter.
esting personal statistics. According
to the classification of trades and occu-
patiOns, there will be in the Senate 10
farmers, 20 lawyers, 9 merchants, 4 edi-
tors, 1 physicians, bankers, druggist
undertaken, real estate dealer and |
lumberman. In the House there will
be fifty farmers, Is lawyers, doctors,
editors, merchants, . lumber dealers,
I clergyman, and the balance figure as
scattering. Socially, the Senators are
classified as follows: IL married, 5 bache.
Tors and widower. OF the members
Of the House, 81 are married, and the
balance lead lives of single blessedness
Twenty Senator'S and thirty-fve Rep.
resentatives served in the Union army

4 DISTRICT judge in eastern Iowa
has declared the registration law UNI
constitutional and the democratic press
sends up yell of rejoicing that rends
the air. The point will be submitted
TO the supreme court for final decision,
but however it may terminate, this
democratic rejoicing over the fact that
the polls are again open to corruption
is significant The democratic party is
I'm power today by virtue of fraud per-
petrated at the ballot box. If the pro-
lection given by the registration law
shall DO taken away, they have hope OF
Introducing southern methods In Iowa.
That party has appealed to the lowest
classes that find rendezvous in the sa-
loon. and hesitate before no form of
fraud to gain accessions to its ranks. 1t
stands now with renewed hope because
it will in the event this law is uncOnsti.
