DIES MoINRs. Aug. Ex-Governor
Boies has at last yielded to the pressure
and consented to accept third nomina.
tion for governor to-day, If it is
unanimously rendered. This will be
done and he will be named by acclama-
tion.
He had written letter declaring him
self conscentiously opposed to third
terms and declining to be a candidate The
party looks to him as it's leader, and has
been unable to agree upon any other
man. Lieutenant. Governor Bestow, the
only avowed candidate for governor, has
agreed to the nomination of Boies,
coupled with his own denomination for
lieutenant-governor.
Democracy Of the State of Iowa met in
convention here to-day, fully confident
that its nominee for governor, would, for
the third time, wrest victory from the
grasp Of the Republican party
The city is filed with visitors and
delegates and the streets present gala
appearance, the houses and business
places being decorated with flags and
bunting. The name of Horace Boise is
on every lip and he will be nominated
by acclamation for governor, it being
understood that he has withdrawn
his first declination to prevent the use Of
his name.
The liquor question is next in i'm
portance to that of the ticket to be
named The abandonment of PrOnibi-
tion by the Republicans will be made
an occasion for denouncing the alleged
| hypocracy of the party on the issue
/ The platform will be so worded
as to stir up the Prohibition Republi
cans still further against the Republi-
can platform. The silver question is
also not an unimpoBtant one at this time
Free silver sentiment is weak and the
| Presidents course will be fully endorsed
while an international agreement for the
use Of silver will be favored.
Pictures of Boies Numerous.
The convention hall was elaborately
decorated, and pictures of Horace Boies
and other leaders of the Democracy were
hu e at various points about the hall
The convention was late in assembling
Henry Vollmer, of Davenport. was made
temporary chairman. Mr.. Vollmei
opened by referring to the present crisis
and declared that the Republican Phari
see, with the assurance of INBRED by
pocrisy, was out among the unemployed
and discontented pointing to the Democ
racy as the author of the widespread
misery.
1t was high time that the Democrats
repudiate this foul slander Demo
cracy was in power but the people LIVED
under Republican laws.
stm Suffering From nIcKinleyism
McKinleyism was still written on tn
statute books and there would be nj
permanent relief until it was destroyed
root and branch. That cowardly make
shift, the Sherman silver law, is still
living statute.
An example of the trucking demsgog
ism of the Republican party. Mr.
Vollmer denounced the Republican con
vention of last week for its nauseatinl
gall and ignorance in charging tn
Democracy with the responsibility 70
the present distress.
He declared the Democracy would re
deem all its pledges but would not b
made the football of repudiator or infa
zionist The weight of debate on tn
] people will not be more burdensome no
will blood flow to the horses brides.
On state issues the speaker said tina
\ the blue laws which cursed the stat
must be repealed. He pictured the al
legged failure of Prohibition and charaC
p terized the attitude of the Republican
party on the question as one Of ''ind'
J cent Cont ortiOn."
