They Nominate State Officers and Adopt
"sound Money" Platform.
MARsHALLTowN, Iowa, August -
One Of the most notable State conven.
tions In the history of the Iowa Democ-
racy closed in this city this even
Ing. Since Monday there has been
bitter strife between the two opposing
elements Of the party-one contendipg
for ticket and platform on "sound
money" basis, the other clamoring for
free coinage without waiting for an
international agreement.
After considerable delay, during
which strong speeches we're made in
favor of FREQ coinage, the majority re-
port of the committee on resolutions
favoring 'sound money" WAS adopted
by vote Of 651N to 420N. Almighty
shout, mingled with groans, hisses and
anathemas, followed the announcement
OF the result. number Of free coinage
delegates immediately left the hall, not
waiting for the nominations.
The State ticket Was nominated as
follows: For governor, Judge W. l..
Bsbb, Mount Pleasant; lieutenant-gov-
ernor, Ex-Governor S. L. Bestow, Char
itan; superintendent public instruction,
Lyman B. Parshall, Msquokosa; railroad
commissioner, George James. Dubuque;
supreme judge. Senator Thomas G.
Harper, Des Moines.
Judge Babb made brief speech OF
| acceptance, in which he said the differ
enoes existing in the party, SO de.
veloped in this convention, were in
regard to details rather than to great
principles involved in financial and
other leading Issues, which should be
left to legislation. It Ia understood to

nomination for lieutenant-governor
He Is strong free coinage man, and, It
Is said, WAS chosen In hopes Of con-

That part Of tho seventh plank Of the

Elections will be held in twelve
States next November, not to mention
she.embfoyo commonwealth. Utah, which
will join the sisterhood OF that time by
sasifying her new constitution and

Ordinarily:this would be an "off year" in
politics, but much depends on some OF
the elections next November on account
OF the influence which the results will
have upon the Presidential campaign

Tho Way to Advertise.

The old way OF advertising was to
advertise literally In the buster season
and to do little or nothing in that line
when the season was dull. The new
way Is to make special effort to create
trade when the season grows dull. The
expenses do NOT cease with brisk trade,
and every effort should be made to keep
the sales az large as possible. The dull
season Ia the especial time for special
and attractive advertising-special
sales, special offers and special induce
ments Wide-awake merchants are
coming to understand this and proHsing
by it.-Exchsnge.

THE reRetta committee, after an in
vestigstion OF the facts in the case,
failed to sustain the claims..of the Vigil.
ants owner and manager that the yacht
had not been treated fairly in the recen t
trial races on the Atlantic coast. Those
interested in the yacht were probably
sore at the constant defeats to which
she WAS subjected and the convincing
proofs Of the superiority of the Defender
in oil the requisites OF fest sailing
vessel. Very naturally they grew tired
of playing second fiddle in the great
aquatic drama then being enacted and
retired in disgust. The withdrawal Of
the Vigilant WAS only additional evil
dence that the Defender is likely to give
the English yacht stirring contest in
the struggle for the American cup.

THE action of Comptroller Bowler of
the Treasury Department in withhold
ing the payment Of the sugar bounties
authorized by an act of she last Con-
>greas has all the appearance to an out
slider of one OF the boldest usurpatinns
of authority by subordinate officer in
the history OF the government. The
grounds FOX not paying these bounties,
as alleged by the comptroller, Is the un-
cunstitu tionality of the act of Congress
providing therefor, and in assuming this
position, the comptroller. as ex- Senator
Henderson said in his argument before
him yesterday, takes Issue with both
the Legislative and executive branch Of
the government. Congress would not
knowingly, 1t ia presumed, pass an un.
constitutional law, nor would the Pres
ident deliberately attach his signature
to one, and yet Mr.. Bowler ignores the
fact that the beat legal knowledge of
the country Is represented in the Senate
and the House and among the advisers
of the chief executive of the nation.
Why the comptroller should take the
stand he has taken Is an enigma which
time may perhsps solve, but that he
would do 30 on his own responsibility,

maintained at any cost.
Colonel Bayle WAS informed by

miners In attendance and resolutions
adopted, declaring that all men with
out regard to race or color should have
the same opportunities In the pursuit Of
happiness; that all attempts to suppress
these rights we're unjust and barbsrous
and that the miners pledged themselves
to maintain law and order as far as they
were able. The resolutions ALEC an.
nounced that the miners were ready to
resume work when the Spring Valley

their mines, and denounced the sensa.

New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vsnis and Virginia. Governors will be
chosen in seven Of them and their legis-
latures will elect United States Sena-
tors.
One of the most important elections
will be held in Ohio, the legislature of
which State will elect successor to
Senator Bruce in 1897. The Democrats
will make strong fight for the control
Of the State and the Republicans will
be just as vigorous In the same direc-
tion. In New York the State Senators
to be elected will take part in choosing
successor to David b. Hill in the
United States Senate. and bitter fight
will be made over them. In Kentucky
che campaign Ia Of the highest impor-
lance on account of the offices at stake
and the peculiar situation. Almost the
entire State government is to be elected
as we'll as Legislature which will
name the successor of Senator Black
burn. The Republicans fully realize
the difficulties besetting the Democratic
party of the State and are making the
fight OF their life. In Maryland the
complications are such as to give the
Republicans some hope of success, and
warm campaign Ia expected there.
The general assembly will electa suo-
cessor to Senator Gibson, whose term
expires March 8, 1897.
The Republicans are counting on
splits in the Democracy to help them
carry the State Offices. and they hope to
drive in further the entering wedge
made last fall by the election Of three
out OF the six Representatives IN Con-
gress. Massachusetts will elect State
officers and a new Legislature and Miss
issippi will do the same. The legisla-
ture will be chosen for four years, and
at Its first sitting will name the man
who is to succeed Senator George, when
his term expires on the 3rd OF March,
1899. Silver Is one of the main issues
of the campaign in that State. and now
seems largely in the ascendant. In
New Jersey governor Is to be elected,
along with sixty members of the gem
eral assembly and seven State senators.
In Iowa the contest will be over State
officers and Legislature. which latter
body will elect successor to Senator
Allison.
Virginia will elect the entire lower
house and one-half of the senate, the
latter to have say in eleciing suo-
cessor to Senator Daniel at later date.
In this State there is some agitation on
the question of an "honest election
law" and the silver question may be-
come factor in the senatorial fight. In
Pennsylvania State treasurer is to be
elected and the appointment of seven
judges of the superior court confirmed
Interest in this State centers on tn 9
fight between Senator Quay and Cover

machinery, and the Democrats hope to
profit by a division In the Republican
party. Nebraska will hold elections on
the 5th If November for Justices Of the
supreme court and two regents OF the
State University. Besides the above
named States, delegates to the State

strongly and ably that bosses have not
been able to control national conventions
very much in recent years. 1t shows
that Quay and Platt were determined to
defeat Harrisons denomination in 1892
but could not do 1t. 1t was the plan OF
bosses to secure Gen Grants nomination
for third term, but they failed Tam

the friends OF the different candidates,
make all the capital they can against

the manipulation of some boss Further
more, representatives Of special interests,
when these stand apart from the pubic
interests cannot do candidate better
service than not to let the fact be
