The Iowa Democracy Meet in Convention
Today.
DAVENPORT, Iowa, Aug. 1s.-The democratic
state convention of Iowa met in the Burtis
Opera House at IL O'Clock this morning. The
stage decorations were in excellent taste. Bacl
of the speakers chair was hfe-size oil por-
trait of Gov. Boise. On the right OF
this was a large portrait Of Grover Cleveland
and on the left one Of Stevenson
Banners and bunting made the hall gay. The
following were named temporary offcers
Chairman, W. l.. Eaton Of Mitchell; secretary,
Alex. Charles Of Linn county. Chairman Eaton
met with a round Of applause he faced the
convention and was often interrupted by ap-
plause.
Chairman Eaton said: At this. the first state
gathering since the eventful morning Of the
23d Of June, hasten to congratulate the de-
mocraey OF Iowa on Its magnificent
record at Chicago; SO enthusiastic
and vet SO dignihed so determined
yet so free from bitterness: so creditsble to the
party and state and so loyal and true to Iowa g
candidate for the presidency our peerless leader,
Horace Boies. There is upon the party in Iowa
the inspiration of substantial hope Of a
November victory, and If the democracy OF
Iowa is true to itself four years will quickly
roll away and the next national democratic
convention will for the first time cross
the Mississippi and take for its
standard bearer our statesman from Wat
erloo. We are not here today to inaugurate u
political campaign or formulate party policy.
That work was well done when the Chicago
platform was built. and when done
was placed thereon our matchless
statesman. the bravest OF the brave
the Marshal Ney' of our nations democracy,
Grover Cleveland. l glory in the candidate

no parallel in the history Of craftsmanship,

message which pointed out the iniquity,
false pretense and sham Of republican
tariff legislation. l glory in the aggressive.
clean-cut formula which has dared to charac

name-"a fraud, a robbery Of the great
What sham and delusion in this age Of
the world to place money by law in the
hands of the manufacturer and trust to his
honor to pay it out, without bond or legal
obligation so to do. The record is that
the money which legislation hands over
will give it to his employees is diverted BY the
purchase Of castles upon the highlands Of Scot
land. steam Yachts or ESQ., pictures by the
old masters. The system itself teaches the
workingmen that fund is provided By law in
the shape of protective tariff which is simply
placed in the hands of his employer
as treasurer and disbursing agent, and
when the workingman demands what he
has been taught is his own, in the only
way in which he can get an audience with his
imperial treasurer, by organized labor he ia met
by the lockout and Winchester in the
hand Of Pinkerton. The speaker
vehemently denoun.e President Harri-
son in connection with the force bill.
Mr.. Eaton added: hail with satisfaction the
declaration Of the recent democratic conven-
ton in n neighborinR state in favor Of the prin-
ciple of q single term Of six years
for the presidency. As an individ-
ual / urge upon this convention to
declare itself in favor Of the election Of United
States Senators by vote Of the people. We
want no house Of lords in this country toward
which the United States Senate is steadily drift
ing.
