1owa Campaign Opens.

DEs MONIES. Iowa, Sept. 3.-The
state campsign opened this after
moor. Senator Allison addressed an
audience of five to six thousand. The
state fair begins tomorrow. The
city is filed with visitors. Allison
strongly upheld the repu blican posi-
tion. devoting most Of his time to
the discussion Of the money question.
The history of republican legislation
was reviewed, showing the beneficial
results con,rasted with the disasters
that were alleged as following the
democratic accession to power. He
pictured the condition the country
would be in under free silver, and
said the factories would be closed
AMI laborers by thousands unem-
ployed, those working receiving dol
lars Of only half value. He said the
picture was distressing indeed to
look ou. The uncertainty as to ulti-
mate result following the election Of
Bryan would put the country on a
free silver basis long before congress
met or Bryan was inaugurated. The
longer uncertainty prevailed the
worse affairsI became. If Mckinley
was elected business would at once
revive and the country become pros.
porous speedily. knowing that the
money was to be kept sound and
the national honor preserved.
a big street parade followed and
there is to be speech by Congress
man Cousins tonight.

ting fully satisfactory result, and IT
was evident the full committee was
likely to tear it to pieces. The sit.
uatton as to the candidates is also
unclariiied. Efforts are still in pro-
Eress TO concentrate the opposition
TO Bragg. The names OF Presiden.
Cleveland and Senator Palmer. OF
Illinois, are chiefly conjnred with
Tor the purpose. but both these have
notified their friends that they will
not be in the race. But the New
York delegation and mem bers Of some
other delegations are inclined not TO
accept the declination from the pres
ident. and are waiting favorable
opportunity to spring his name and
nominate him anyhow. The p1ssi-
bility Is that it will take three davs
to complete the convention work
faced this morning.
The delegates assembled SLOWLY.
Senator Palmer was given an oya-
tion when he appeared on the stage.

would not be irrovocable. when Col.
Breckinridge appeared in the hall
he was loudly cheered, but some
hissed. The cheering was renewed
several times, but each time the his
sing was louder and more ominous.
