committee Oh permanent organization
reported as follows: For chairman,
Cato Sells, of Benton county; secretary,
Frank p. Allen, of Audubon; reading
clerk, John ii. Gillespie, of Des
Moines county. The committee rec
commended all nominating speeches
he limited to five minutes and
that the rules of the FIfty-second
congress govern the convention. The
report was adopted. Permanent Chair
man Sells read speech declaring that
the Republican party from being a
party of principle, was now a party
without principles. judging from the
recent platform. He said the Repub-
Ilcan party, in the interest of party
success, IS willing 10 restore the saloon
to Iowa. 1t advocates the saloon as a
marter OF eXpediency, while the Demo-
cratic party does so from principle. He
said the Republicans of Iowa are now
trying to carry out tie same deception
practiceo by the Republicans in congress
when the Sherman law, which he de-
clareS is Republican measure, was
passed. He said the hard times are due
to Republican administrator. MIR.
Sells, continuing, said the Democrats
were here today to restore confidence.
He SAID the first remedy for prohibition
is repeal; the first remedy for Industrial
evils is the repeal of the Mckinley bill,
aud the first remedy for the financial
stringency is the repeal of the Sherman
act. In closing ne hoped the dehbera-
tons today would hasten the repeal of
all thee obnoxious measures.

lutions was now called in order, but the

resolutions entered. Chairman Couch
read the following report, which was
unanimously adopted by the conven-
ton:
The Platform.

which it has been pIanged by the IN.

The present unfortunate financial
