HAWkEYE REPUBLICANS
SELECT THEIR STANDARD BEARER
FOR TIVE FIGHT.
SENSATIONAL PREACHER

Calls Upon the Aim lightly to For
ever Disquaiify the Democratic
Party From Ruling Over the
Country-McFarla for Sec.
retary, MCCARTHY for Auditor
and Herriott for Treasurer.
DEs MONIES, TO-, July 25.-The larg-
est and most enthusiastic Republican
state convention for several years met
to-day at Calvary tabernacle. A caucus
had been held earlier, at which men,
bers of the credentials. permanent Or
ganization aud resolution committees
were selected, and members of the state
committee chosen for the ensuing year.
The great hall was handsomely deco
rated with flags, bunting, etc. Hon.
John N. Baldwin, of Council Bluffs,
temporary chairman, upon
ASSUMING THE GAVEL,
said:
All loyal American citizens ought to
feel deeply concerned at the general
dlsmay aud distress now existent in this
country. AT the 1892 election the state
was prosperous. the people obedient to
its laws and happy in their industry.
At that time the people of this ,conntry
were enjoying the greatest prosperity
ever known III their history. lmmedl-
ately following that election came
'those days never to be recalled with
out blush" The people discontented
and distressed and the proletariat loadly
begging for relief.
Not within the last twenty years have
the national guards been ordered out as
many times and in as many states as In
the last ninety days. The Republican
party has always contended that the
United States of America is nation,
not league; and its constitution a
supreme law.
AS the Republic In party believes that
"the wise mau Is state" you will
always find him In 1t ranks and Its
Journeys on.
The prayer of Rev. j. l.. Weaver.
formerly pastor of the Christian church
here. was the sensational feature OF the
morning session. He began by invoking
the
DIVINE BLESSING
on the country in this hour of peril;
asked that Its enemy, the Democratic
party, be merciful as possible, and that
the people be thankful for all the good
1t did, if 1t did anything to elicit their
sympathies, and closed by appealing to
Omnipotence to ''asslst in expedting
the famous Democratic party from
power. and lay the hand of Divine dis
pleasure upon them and restrain them
forever from the exercise of govern
mental authority"
At noon the convention adjourned till
Up. m.
AT the afternoon session the
FOLLOWING N OMINATIONS
were made by acclamation:
For Secretary Of State-W. II. Nc Far
land, EStherville. 7s<t5ts$;SsstysS -
For Auditor of State-C.G. Mccarthy,

For State Treasurer-John S. Her.
riott, OF Stuart, was nominated on the
third ballot, and for attorney, Milton
Remley. of Iowa City, was nominated
on fourth ballot.
AT z o'clock the convention ad-
journed to meet at o'clock to com plete
the ticket.
1t was nearly 9 O'Clock before the
delegates reassembled, and the heat
was so intense that all suffered greatly.
The committee on resolutions reported
and the platform was unanimously
adopted.
The Republican party comes again
before the people of Iowa with every
promise performed and every prophecy
fulfilled. The history of the past year
has again demonstrated the unfitness
and incOmpetency of the Democratic
party TO administer the affairs of the
nation, and has again vindicated the
eternal truth of Republican principles.
From the universal disaster that has
accompanied Democratic supremacy we
turn with confident hope to the sacred
duty OF restoring peace to distracted
aud disordered country. We again de-
clare for system of protective duties
SO adjusted that every American re-
source can be developed by American
labor, receiving American wages, aud
we insist upon a tariff that will
ACCOMPLISH THESE ENDS.
We have but to mention the disastrous
results which have followed the mere
menace of free trade as conclusive evil
dence of the wisdom of the Republican
policy in the past upon this subject.
We adhere to the declaration of the
national Republican party in 1892 upen
Its monetary policy. We reaffirm our
belief that 1.-The interests of the coun-
mand that every dollar, paper or coin,
issued by the government shall be as
good as any other dollar" We favor
the largest possible use Of silver as
money that Is consistent with
the permanent maintenance of equal
values of all dollars In circulation. We
do not want monOmetallism, either of
gold or of silver. and we pledge our
selves to continue the work for bimet-
allism, to be brought about by all fit
means within the power Of the govern
ment. The welfare of the labor and
the maintenance of the dignity of labor
have been the constant care of the Re-
publican party from its birth. Its whole
history Is an effort to secure to the
wageworker bis just share of the fruits
OF toll, and it now fepews its pledge to
defend the workingman not only against
the assaults of foreign competition, but
against the attacks OF domestic avarice.
The Republican party, ever mindful
of the patriotic services and sacrifices
of the veteran soldiers of the republic,
reaffirmS its position in favor of liber-
allty to the nations defenders. We
favor the granting of pensions to all
honOrably discharged Union soldiers
and sailors whose disabilities or neceS-
stiles justly entitle them thereto.
The ticket was completed as follows:
Railroad Commissioner-C. L. David
son, OF Sioux county.
Clerk Supreme Court-Chris Jones,
Washington county.
Reporter Supreme Court-B. /. Sal
linger, Polk county.
Ths convention then adjourned.
