I'VE EE0blu0nts
The republicans Of Iowa, in one Of
the largest conventions ever held in the
state, selected 20 delegates to go to St.
Louis, all to work for the nomination Of
Senator William B. Allison as the re-
publican candidate for president. The
members OF the convention were enthu-
siastic in their Endorsement Of their
candidate and earnest in their determi-
nation to do everything possible to Sc
cure his nomination. If there were any
delegates present who preferred Nc
kinley or any other candidate to ALI
son they did not make their presence
known by word or deed in the conven-
ton. The committee on resolutions
offered the following:
1--WE, the representatives of the repub-
lican party Of Iowa, voicing the unanimous
Will and enthusiastic purpose of the re-
publlcans of the state. herewith formally
present to the republicans of the nation
Hon. w. B. Allison, United States senator
from Iowa. ns Mt candidate for the re-
publican nomination for president of the
United States, The republicans Of Iowa,
In their fealty to republican principles, and
with profound sense of their obligations
to the people of the nation to do only what
seems best to bring back to the Frustrated
interests of the nation the health giving
tonic of republican policy, present William
p. Allison In spirit far above any consid-
e! ations Of state pride. For many years
there has been a universal feeling among
the people Of Iowa that Senator Allison
Is conspicuously fitted for the position Of
president Of the republic, and this senti-
ment has spread widely over the nation.
So that We present his name to-day, In no
sonse Of personal compliment to him, in
no spirit of local pride, but in the profound
conviction that we are fulfilling a duty to
the party and a daty to the nation.
I'VE believe that Senator Allison repre-
sents. as well as any man in the nation.

deal honestly, wisely and successfully with
all interests Of the country. For third

encounter. Its rule was grandly benefi-
