CHICAGO, June 16.-Up in the tempo
rary headquarters today the Boies work
ers were hammering away. They are
active, eager workers, and it will be
due to no inactivity or failure to make
the most of each shining hour that their
candidate does not loom up brightly.
A literary bureau has been started in
behalf of the "Old Man From Iowa."
and todaf he talk of these persons was
the subject Of statement in which it
was said Boies was not here for second
place honOrs, and that the Iowa people
wanted first place or nothing.
Il many of the tables which have
bee prepared up to date, twenty-siX
votes from Iowa are all that are given
to the corn states Democratic governor.
L. NJ. Martin, one of the Iowa delegates
at large, speaking of this, said that
somebody would be surprised, for he
had never heard of any of the BOies men
put their strength below sixty, and it
might go to eighty. South Dakota is
expected to poll a good number of votes
for Boies. and his friends think the
state is practically instructed for him.
Throughout the West votes are looked
Tor. and away off in the South Atlantic
states they are figuring on little sup
port, the claim being made that South
Carolina has at least one Boies man in
It. Most of the Boies following, how
ever, will come from west of the Missis-
sippi river.
Why BOies Is Strong.
Mr.. Shaver, of DeS Moines, was asked
today about the reported strength of
BoleS in the silver states, and said:
'sGov. Boies is strong in the West. He
will get the silver states. He is a strong
fayorite wherever known, and wherever
knowledge of the victories that he has
won obtains. Rs'
Among therecruits to the Iowa head
quarters this morning were w. Wilmer,

MILES OF TRACK OUT.
Tremendous Loss to Railways in
Fillmore County.

Special to the Globe.
PRESTON, Mimi. June 16.-From 7:30
last night to 8 80 this morning six solid
inches of rain fell in this vicinity, de
stroying crops, carrying away bridges
and sidewalks, and drowning many
cattle and hogs. The loss in the village
will not amount to more than $1,000,
but the damage to crops outside of town
cannot now be estimated. All trains
are abandoned, and many miles of rail
road tracks are washed away. Between
Wells and Da Crosse ten miles of track
is gone, and no trains are expected for
at least week. Reports from Northern
Iowa indicate the storm was very severe
there, and the VOlga, Waukon and
Preston branches of the Milwaukee are
badly washed out, nearly six miles of
track on the latter line being torn up.
The storm was the worst ever expert
enced in this region.

THE UTAH FIGHT.

CHICAGO. June 16.-The Utah con-

almost an exact duplicate of the fight
from the same territory at the Min
neapolis convention, and proceeds from
exactly the same cause, the late break
upon Liberal or Gentle party, follow
ing the surrender of the Peoples or
Mormon party. There seems to be no
serious difference among any of the
contestants on any question, but entry
into the convention and recognition by
the party. Neither of them is instructed,
and the preference of each is Cleveland,
according to the statements made by
their friends. Utah will favor silver

vague hope of working Gov. Gray into

us want Gray if we could get him, but
we don't want to lose him and lose
Cleveland too. There will be something
