Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1896-07-14

During the deliberations of the COM
mittee chosen to select delegates, life
sized photo of VIM. Mckinley was
carried to the front and placed upon
the desk amid the cheers and applause
of the entire convention.
After the reading of the names of the
delegates, A. X. Bailey with short
speech moved that the delegates to the
congressional convention be instructed
to cast the vote of the county for Hon.
ThOs. Updegraff for congress, and sug-
gested that the roll of townships be
called, allowing the minority an op-
pOrtunity to express their feeling.
The suggestion was not complied with,
DIR. Daubney stating that he did not
think the minority would desire to ex-
press any sentiment, as they were all
for the nominee of the party. On
motion of l.. l.. COuse the delegates to
the state convention were instructed to
vote for DIR. Babcock, of New Hamp-
ton, for the candidate for elector from
this district Mr.. Larson moved that
the state delegation also be instructed to
cast their vote for Hon. s. M. Weaver,
of Iowa Falls, for Supreme Judge,
which was carried.
The convention adjourned amid
three cheers for Mckinley and Hobart:
having been conducted without con-
troversy or ill-feeling upon either side,
and we feel safe in saying that the re-
publicans of Winneshiek county will
unanimously support the nominee of
the state and congressional conventions.

The unkindest cut of all, to Grover,
is the charge that it was his personal
unpopularity and failure to deny his
third term aspirations which put the
silver men in control of the democratic
party.

THE Chicago convention headed the
democratic party for oblivion; the

MASON CITY, Iowa, July 8, 1896.
To My Friends in the Fourth Congress


siOnal District:
In view of the adverse results of the
caucuses in Allamakee and Winneshiek
counties, have become convinced that
further prosecution Of the struggle for
the congressional nomination, upon my
part, would be unwise and an embar-
rassment to my friends L therefore
take this means of releasing all repub-
licans who have been in my support
from any obligations to make further
efforts in my interest.
In taking this step, l wish to express
my profound appreciation of the loyal
and enthusiastic support which has
been accorded to me by those who have
known me best in every county in the
district, and to assure all republicans
who have labored in my behalf, that
my gratitude to them, for their conf
dence so expressed, is just as sincere
and heartfelt as though their labOrs had
been crowned with victory.
My theory of politics has always been
that all contests within our own ranks
shall be fairly and honestly fought out
i'm our caucuses and conventions and
when once the party through these
usual channels has chosen its candi-
dates, every loyal republican should
abide the issue.
l shall certainly apply this principle
to the present situation and hold my
self in readiness to labor for the nomi-
nees of the coming conventions, and /
hope that every friend have through
out the district will see to it that the
party, whose principles and supremacy
are far above the aspirations of indi-
viduals, is not damaged or weakened
by the contest which is just concluded.
Feeling certain that the same devotion
and enthusiasm which has character
lied your support of my candidacy will
be carried into the falls campaign and
result i'm victory i'm our district for
the party of sound money, protection
and prosperity, which will be Ofgreater
value to all the people than the eleva-
ton of the candidate of your choice to
office, remain with the best of feeling,
Yours for general republican victory,
JAS. Il. BLYTHE.

WHY MR.. BLYTHE WITHDRAWS.

The following letter and clipping
from the Mason city Globe Gazette
will, we believe, present the position
of the friends of James E. Blythe, on
the congressional situation, and indi.
cate that they will unite in the support
of the party's nominee as strongly as
they did in that of their favorite candi-
date:
Some of our readers may be surprised
by Mr.. Blythe's withdrawal from the
congressional race at this early stage of
the contest, only two conventions be-
sides Cerro Gordo having been held.
Before entering the race Mr.. Blythe
had assurances of strong support fren-
the three large eastern counties of the
district, which with Clayton county
control the congressional convention,
having majority of all the delegates
in the district. The contests i'm ALA
makee and Winneshiek were made the
test and as Mr.. Updegraff carried both
of these counties it only remained for
him to capture Fayette county in order
to be nominated. Mr.. Blythe wisely
accepted the result of the test so boldly
undertaken by him and did not burden
or even embarrass his friends in Fay
cite by insisting upon their engaging in
such struggle as was carried on in
Allamakee and Winneshiek.
The great fight made by Mr.. Blythe
in Winneshiek will long be remembered
as the most notable struggle in the his
tory of the district; and the unequal
battle against three newspapers and
the ring smashers in Allamakee, showed
Blythe's fighting qualities and brought
to his support gallant army of the
real party workers of both of these
counties to whom Cerro GOrdo county
feels deeply gratified for the kindness
shown by them to her candidate.

Capt. Glass Wants the Texas Laid
Tn I'm Ordinary.

Capt. Glass Wants the Texas Laid
Up in Ordinary.
Capt. Henry Glass, commander OF the un-
fortunate battleship Texas, now at Norfolk.
saw Secretary Herbert of the Navy Depart
Inent yesterday aud asked him not to put
the vessel out of commission as the depart
ment had decided to do.
He suggested to the Secretary to initiate
his plan of establishing a reserve fleet by
laying up the Texas in ordinary, with a
skeleton complement of Officers and crew
while the necessary repairs to her hull
were being made and contended that this
would be to the advantage oftlIe government
inasmuch as the crew could keep the vessel
and armament In order, while If the Texas
was placed out of commission expense
would be incurred in transferring all her
stores and a long period of idleness might
prove dangerous to the guns, machinery and
other appurtenances.
With a few officers and seventy-five
men, Capt. Glass thought the battleship
could be kept in first-class order and there
would be enough of the crew remaining to
man the ram Katahdin, which will go into
service in short time. Secretary Herbert
has taken the matter under consideration.
He made strong argument in his annual
report for the establishment of the reserve
system.
