A DEMOCRATIC SPLIT IN IOWA
Gold Standard People Won n Victor,
In Boies' Home County.

Omaha, April Pa special to the Bee
from Waterloo Iowa, says:
The gold standard people won a victory
In Boies' home county yesterday. They
outnumber the silver Boes men 10 2.
The convention was characterized by tLc
widest scenes. In the outset the cleve-
land men captured the convention.
Just as the organization was perfected
Chairman Scott of the central committee
entered the hall, ignored the proceedings
and called another convention. Thus the
two conventions proceeded in the same
hall simultaneously, each bowling the 9th
er down. The disturbance continued for
more than an hour. Each convention
adopted resolutions on the money question,
the difference being as great as possible.

Indeed, we do not expect that MIR. CLEvE-

nothing other than Extraordinarily upon

1t Is upon Congress that the duty Of Civ

must devolve. In view Of the existing stu

justified in acknowledging the independence

by right, by reason, and by precedent.
The coming session is the time for
such acknowledgment. II this honor
