Sioux CITY, To-, Sept. 1.-THE
greater part of the delegates to the
Democratic state convention to be held
here tomorrow are here. having come
in on the late trains last night and to-
day. Yesterdays scene OF quiet around
the headquarters in Hotel Garretson is
changed to one of hustle and activity.
The faithful from various quarters OF
the state have been exchanging greet
ings and comparing notes on candidates
and the probabilities of success. The
local committee on reception and enter
tainment has been busy, carriages be-
ing furnished all who desired to see
the city, privilege of which many
ayailed themselves. The programme
for tomorrow has been arranged as
follows: The delegates from the sew
eral congressional districts will meet in
caucus at 10 o'clock a. m. sharp and Sc
leet member of the committee on ere
dentialS, a member of the committee
on permanent organization. member
of the committee on resolutions, vice
president and one assistant secretary.
In addition the Second, Third, Fifth,
Sixth and Ninth districts will select
member of the state central committee
for twO-year terms. the convention
will be called to Tder at 10 a. m. sharp.
Prayer will be offered by Rev. M. w.
Darling. The state central committee
has selected the following as temporary
officers of the convention:
CHAIRMAN, IRVING B. RICHMAN:
of Muscatine county; secretary, Paul
Guelich, of Des MOines county; assist
ant secretaries, Frank WhitmOre. of
Clarke county; r. H. Moore, of Wa
pello county; w. III. SWIgart, of Jack
son county: J. Pappe, of Woodbury.
county. it is conceded that Judge
Kinne, of TOma county. will be perma-
nent chairman. As to the candidates
there is little more settled idea than
last night. Interviews with delegates
show a decided preference for Hon.
Horace Boice. of Waterloo, for governor,
and while he has been unwilling
to give his consent to the use OF his
name. he has at last said that he would
make the race if the convention thinks
he is the proper man. Judge Whiting,
Of MOnana, also has some strength, but
would probably decline the honor. On
the positive refusal of Judge Allison, of
this city, to run, his name has been
dropped. For lieutenant governor the
most likely candidate so far is Hon. s.
L. BestOW, of Lucas county. For rail
road commissioner David Morgan, of
Poweshiek county, will probably be
nominated. For the other places on the
ticket it is impossible at this time to
make a safe guess. A majority OF the
convention
REGARD THE WHISKY QUESTION
from one SIDE or the other as the great
question. Some of the best Democrats
and the strongest argue that that is the
Republican issue and that 1t ought to be
ignored TO let that party handle it, but
the Democratic party is too pugnaciOuS
in Iowa to leave such question in such
hands, and it is safe to say that the con-
Vention will decide upon the repeal of
the present law and the enactment of
a high license law with. perhaps,
local option and other garnishmentS.
1t is understood, however, that
the Mississippi river counties are
opposed to a local option plank. and
this makes some difference, as they
have large vote. The corn palace IL
luminations are in running order to-
night and the city is blaze of light.
The members of the newspaper fratern-
lty among the delegates are being BAN
quoted by the local ne Rspaper men.
1t is developed late tonight that
George W. Argo, of LeMars. who with
w. W. Erwin. of st. Paul, cleared John
Arensdorf, of the HaddOck murder, will
probably be nominated for supreme
Judge.
