Convention.
The convention reassembled at 9
O'clock. Few delegates went home on
evening traius, but there is just as much
enthusiasm in the meeting as in the
afternoon. 1t was expected that a re-
consideration of the prOhibitory plank
would be moved, but expectations were
not realized. The afternoon ses-
sion will go into history. as the
most exciting meeting held by Iowa
Republicans in dozen years. A fight

committee on resolutions was read by

debate was INDUCED in. Anti-prohibi-

rallied against 1t in almost solid pha-

prohibitionists as Senator Meek, Buena
Vista county, and Col. NJ. l..
Temple, Osceola county. These
prohibition counties carried the
vote against the amendment. The
scenes during this debate cannot be de-
sefibed.. For minutes at a time the
convention was mass of uproar and
everything seemed plunged in chaos.

but the fire seemed to be confined to tho
rear Of the building. The floods OF
water poured or the flames only made
the fire the hotter. this being due to the
quantities of oil, varnish and sheliac in |
that part Of the building. The smoke
from the fire was of the most suffocat-
ing kind, but the firemen stuck to their
perilous posts despite the sitting cloud.
How Cloonen Fell.
The three men on the ladder in the
rear of the building were getting tho
worst of the smoke. but they hung on tc
the ladder and kept the water from,
their line directly on the fire. Lieut..
CloOnen, who had been managing the
nozzle, was about to be relieved by
Capt. Strapp, who was just below him
on the ladder, and Strapp had swung
partly Off the ladder to allow Cloonen
to step down, when, to the horror Of his
companions and the spectators, Cloonen
was seen to sway backward, and. in an
instant, his body was falling through
the air.
Cloonen in his fall turned over twice
and struck the ground on his face and
body. So quickly was the thing over
that before the men at the foot of the
ladder were aware the hfeless body Of
their companion was at their feet.
Sergeant Sullivan, ,oI the central police
station, and several of the spectators
started with the unfortunate man to the
nearest physicians Office. but when the
corner of the alley on Jackson street
was reached Cloonan gave groan and
expired. The men hurried on with their
burden to the Office Of DR.. Murphy, but
glance satisfied the doctor that nedi-
cal aid was useless.

Democratic Party Alleged % Be
Responsible for All Business
Troubles.
The following is the platform adopted
after three hours debate:
The Republicans of Iowa, in state
convention, declare:
That the government is of, for, and
by the people. and that the object of all
government should be to maintain and
promote the liberty, safety. happiness
and welfare of all the people. That in
going into another general election it is
admissible to call public attention to
the fact, as a test of the two great polit-
icai parties, that the campaign claims
of the Democratic party in the
election OF 1892 have proved false. and
the claims made by the Republican
party have proved true. Not an allega-
ton made by the Democratic party as
to the Mckinley law or reciprocity; not
claim of the vaunted good results of
Democratic success has come true; but
in the withholding of the pensions of
Union soldiers; in business paralysis;
IN mills and manufactures closed: in
suspended banks; In bankrupted firms;
in the distress of the farmers; in the
growing multitude of tramDs; in falling
discharged from employment; in
the monetary stringency; in the
prevailing hard times and pub
lie distress. are the fulfillment
of what Republicans predicted with his
tOric warrant as TO the known capacity
of the Democratic party. That the es-
tabllshment OF the policy of reciprocity
trade, especially between the United
States and the other countries of the
new world, was a distinctive and
benefcent measure of Republican
craftsmanship, promising great good to
this nation, and we regret and deplore
that it has had to pass from the brilliant
and resolute craftsmanship of James G.
Blaine into the unfriendly hands of fu-
tile mugwumps and hostile Democrats,
that when President Cleveland said in
his recent message to congress that our
unfortunate financial plight. with the
evil conditions he depleted are
principally chargeable, to con-

chase and coinage of silver by the gen.

Nebraska's silver-rongued Ora

tor Holds the Body for Hours.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 16.-The finan-
cial discussion in the house took on a
deeper interest today than on any occa-
sion since the opening day of the silver
debate. William }. Bryan, the elo-
quent young congressman from Ne
braska, added greater laurels to his
reputation as All orator, and made free
coinage speech which. in the opinion of
many. surpassed the great tariff speech
which gave his name to fame two years
ago. For nearly three hours Mr.. Bryan
held the interested attention of the
house and galleries, and every inter
ruptiOn TO which he was subjected only
gave opportunity for those brilliant
repartees for which he is so famous.
The silver discussion today was
opened by Mr.. Mccall (Mass.) who made
an elaborate argument for the repeal of
the purchasing clause of the Sherman
act, and denied that such action could
be Justly construed as an attack on
bmetallism.
Mr.. COOmbs, speaking for repeal,
highly commended the presidents mes
sage. which, in his opinion, had never
been surpassed by any state paper. But
the president might have said in con-
conclusion that lit is a condition. and
not a theory that confronts u.s." In
opening his argument against the un-
conditional repeal of the Sherman law
Mr.. Bryan said: Upon the action of
this congress might depend not only the
welfare of the South and West, not
only the welfare of the United States,
but the welfare of humanity itself for
Ages TO Come.
Some outside of this hall had assumed
that the recommendation of the presi-
dent imposed some obligations upon
Democratic members to do as he de-
sired, and some had been even hardy
enough to suggest that failure to fail
in with the recommendations there
made would subject the dissenter to ad-
minlstrative displeasure. But those
persons did the president great Unjust
ice The president would not for mo-
ment forget the independence of the
two branches of congress. Let the
presidents own language rebuke those
who would from false fealty change
convictions upon the subject in order to
conform to his suggestions. In the
message of 1885 TO this congress, at the
beginning of the first session, there
would be found these words: ''The
jealous watchfulness of our constitu.
ents, great and small, supplement theil
suffrages. and before the tribunals
they establish every public servant
should be judged"
The victory of Charles Martel al
Tours in 732 rescued Christian civiliza-
ton and determined the course of his
tory for centuries. The effects of oul
action may be as far-reaching. If the

ing country, abandons silver, 1t will in
all probability lead to the annihilatior

occurred here at an early hour this
morning which beats the record. P.
eastman, of Pensacola, Fla, registered
at the Wellington hotel last night. Two
o'clock this morning he rang for the
clerk and said he was very i'll and feared
he was going to die. The clerk reached
the street at Nancy Hanks gait, and
meeting a man at the corner asked the
way to the nearest physician. The
stranger replied he was a doctor, and
was Immediately taken to the sick
mans room. The doctor asked for a
pitcher of ice water, and while the clerk
was after it, the alleged doctor robbed
his patient of everything he had and
skipped. When the clerk returned,
eastman had died, presumably of
fright. The police were at once noti-
fed and the robber arrested an hour
later. He gave his s'name as j. F. Stey-

forty in number, were brought over on

Tuesday night, ffty-eight fish, Bob was
a good second with fifty-five. All fish up
to date have been shipped for the fresh
fish market.
The pile of old boats belonging to Sea-
borg, that used to lie at the. corner of f
and Hume streets, were broken out yes
terday morning. Everything goes this
year that can catch a fish.
The cannery will make an effort this
year to beat all previous packs. Already
there are in the Harder as many as fifty
five boats, and the market for fresh
fish promises to be very limited, so that
the cannery will practically have the
whole catch to handle. Unless they in
tend to beat the record, ii is difficult to
see why so many boats were brought in
from the outside.

The lieu laid question has come up in
such shape that it may be possible to get
a decision thereon that will be OF some
value. Among the lieu lands in this To-
cality is tract up the Wishkah river
that was decided several years ago to Mrs.
McGregor and to James Stewart. Part
OF this tract has since been sold to the
city for water works site and part pre-
sented fer public park. Last Thursday
a complaint was sworn out against Stew
art by Geo. D. Allen and Jack Landers
for cutting timber on government land.
Stewart was arrested, but waived exam
ination and was held over in $4,000
bonds to appear in the district court
Stewart says the Northern Pacific will
take up his case and make test matter
of it.
If any decision is reached in this mat
ter, whatever it may be, it will be far
reaching in its effects.
