OTTUMwA, To-, June 24.-What is
probably destined to be the most de-
cisive campaign ever waged for poll
tical supremacy in the state of Iowa
was opened at 10 o'clock to-day, when
Chairman Fuller raped to order 1000
of the most enthusiastic Democrats
ever assembled in convention in the
Hawkeye state. The campaign is de-
cisive because it is conceded by both
political parties that as Iowa goes in the
coming election, so it will probably go
in the presidential election OF 1872.
Should the Democrats carry the state
and re-elect Gov. Boies, the claim of
Iowa as pivotal state in the great ma
tional campaign OF next year will be too
we'll established to be disputed even by
the Republicans, and the voice OF the
Hawkeye state will consequently be
power in the coming national cOnven-
tions. Both parties are entering upon
the present campaign with equal con-

while there is sharp rivalry for the Re-

The convention was opened by prayer

whose invocation that the convention
might be inspired by the sentiment of
that grand man who declared that "a
public Office is a public trust"
was cheered by the delegates

democratic advancement has not
been accidental, nor yet the result of
conditions not understood. 1t is but
the recurrence of a truth as old as
Jural society, that principle is stronger
than plunder, and that in the nations
onward march, under the intin-
ence of educational campaigns,
the support of the masses will
eventually be found on the side
of the peoples truest champions.
The Democratic party is more than
ever determined to overthrow the in
iquitous Mckinley bill [cheersl, and to
establish in its stead law based upon
the principles that all taxation, of what
ever nature, shall be for revenueEalone.
The free coinage plank in the platform
of 1890 struck the keynote to the finan-
cial situation, and it will strike it STILL"
The speaker eulogiZed Gov. BOieS as
''that grand old tribune of the people,
who, in the executive Office of our great
commonwealth, has demonstrated a
breadth of craftsmanship worthy of
presidential honors." "Sumptuary leg
islation," said he, has placed upon our
statute books laws which assume to
control the appetiteS and personal hab-
its of our people. Believers in the true
and practical temperance can tolerate
the farce no longer. The work of the
Democratic party in Iowa will not be
fully done until this greatest of all
farces is swept from the pages of our
code, and law shall be enacted for the
strict regulation and control of the
traffic in intoxicating liquors."
