LETTER.

The Iowa National Democrats Cheer
Mention of CleVeIand's Name--Cleve.
land Writes q Letter in Which he Pla.
ces the Hope Of Democracy in the
Hands Of the Nationals.
Rock ISLAND, Ill, July Paul
K9rsch, we'll known German Editor
and chairman of the state central COM
mittee of the Illinois National Demo
cratic party, has received a letter from
Elk President Cleveland to be read at
the Iowa State Democratic convention.
It is as follows:
GRAY GABLES, Buzzards Bay, Mass,
June 90, 1892.
PAUL KERsCH, Eco
Dear SIR: My love for true Democ-
racy is 30 intense and my behalf in the
necessity Of its supremacy to the well
fare of the country is so clear that I
cannot fail to sympathize with every
effort to save the principles of my par
ty from the threatened abandonment.
I believe the very existence of true
Democracy as an agency of good to
the American people is In the hands Of
those who are willing to be guided by
the declarations of principles an
nounced by the National Democratic
party. It is a high mission to thus
have in keeping the life and usefulness
Of party which has deserved so well
Of our country men and so important q
consideration involved, should surely
stimulate the most patriotic effort. The
work before US is above partisan tri-
umphs and It's immediate rewards.
The question is, are we doing our duty
to our country and to the principles Of
our party. No success worth the name
can be reached except in the path Of
principle. I hope the National Demo.
Gratis of Iowa will not wait to- exhibit
to their followers in every state the
bright lightof true Democracy.
Yours very truly,
T-~--- ~----1

LONDON, July Greco Turkish af-
fairs appear to be entering an interest
ing stage.
To day the Porte dispatched a cir
cular to it's representatives abroad con-
tanning a skiIlful defense of the Turk
ish case and declining to consider any
frontier line in Thessaly north Of the
river Peneois, which it regards as the
natural boundary.
It appears that the Sutton has cOn
WINGED himself that the powers will not
resort to coercion and has decided to
test the alleged concert of Europe to
the utmost. On Monday he summoned
a council Of ministers for an extraordi-
nary sitting to the Yldiz Kiosk, with
the result that, after a heated discus
sion, a report was drawn up in favor OF
resuming hostilities, if peace should
not be concluded within a week.
A recent dispatch from Washington
says Elk Senator John J. Ingalls,, who
has been in town several days in the
last two or three months, ostensibly on
newspaper work and in the collection
of data for a Life of Governor Oliver
P. Norton" Indians's great war gov.
.ernor, really has been trying for ap-
pointment as Minister to Switzerland.
Finding that post pledged, he is re-
portedHto have indicated that some
thing in South America would be &C.
ceptable az a substitute.
Senator Ingalls, is getting along in
years, and would like a government sal.
airy, so that he might have Ieisare for
the prosecution of literary contracts
without having to work meantime TO
keep the pot boiling.

HANNA AND WoLCOTT.

They Get "a Warm Reception in the Senate
Washington, March IA correspon
dent, writing to the Chicago Record
says:
For the first time in history man
was applaudcd on the floor and In tn,
galleries of the Senate when he walked
up to the desk of the Vice President to
take the oath of office last Thursday
His name was Mark Hanna one OF
the Oldest senators tells me that he
never knew such a thing TO have oc
Cured before. Mr.. Shermans resig
nation was first read by the clerk. thcu
Governor Bushnell's appointment OF
Mr.. Hanna and his credentials, whicl
are handsomely bound in red morocco
While this ceremony was going on Mr.
Hanna was sitting in n chair on the
last row, next TO that of Mr.. Foraker
His desk was decorated with mn I'm.
mense rose bush filled with beautiful
flowers When the Vice President
asked Mr.. Hanna To step forward Sen
ator Foraker seized his colleague i'm
pulsively by the arm aud led him doyIr
the middle aisle. where the oath wa,
administered. Mr. Hanna then re
turned TO the seat he had previously
occupied with cheers as hearty as were
ever offered prima donna. hut he
soon slipped away TO the cloakroom
where he was surrounded by n number
of his new colleagues. Mrs. Hanna
Miss Mabel Hanna, Mrs. Leonard C
Hanna and Miss Phelps, who is Mrs
Hanna'S companion witnessed the
scene from the private gallery.
Senator Wolcott who returned from
his voluntary mission to Europe in the
interest of bimctalllsm. shared witt
Mr. Hanna the honors of the day, and
was greeted with the greatest cordiali
ty by his colleagues on both sides of
the Senate. who anxlously asked his
opinion as to the prospect of some in
ternational agreement. Mr.. Wolcott Is
hopeful He is almost confident. He
does not expect. of course that any of
the European nations will suddenly
break away from their old traditions
and adopt new systems of coinage, but
he believes that he has been successful
in modifying the views of many of the
most powerful opponents of bimetal
lism. in removing serious objections
that have heretofore existed, and in
encouraging the advocates of an Inter.
national agreement to renew their eff.
forts, with the expectation of soon
reaching n practical result. Mr.. Vol.
colt expects soon TO make n report of
his experiences and observations. II
may be in the form of letter to Pres.
ident Mckinley, or it may be speech
in the Senate. In the meantime, he
thinks the reference to blmetallism IN
the inaugural address will be favorably
received all over Europe.

terer and hod carrier in Chicago went
on strike at 1870 p. IN. to-day with the
intention of remaining out until tile
bosses agree to pay the old wage scale

Business agents from the unions Wis
tied every building In course of con-
struction and ordered the men not to
go to work Monday. but to report to
one Of their number in the vicinity and
act us pickets about the buildings, and
see that no non-union men are EN-
ployed to fill their places. At special
meeting of the unions involved It was
decided tonight not to call out the 9TH
er trades unless the contractors at
tempted to employ non-union plaster
ers and hodcarriers.
Several boss plasterers called on the
strike officials to-day and signiiled
their willingness to pay the old scale.

Senate.-The Senate spent the morn
ing session in discussion of the re-
port of the committee on county nf-
fairs upon Senate bill No. 375. which
provided for the placing of county jalls
under the care of the Board of Chart
ties and Corrections and taking the
same out of the hands of the county
commissioners, who have at present
the management of the county penal
institutions.
The committee recommends that the
bill be laid on the table for the reason
that 1t was not expedient to take tue
management of jnils out of the hands
of local officers and place It With II
state board.
The bill provided that prisontss
should be required to work on the
county penitentiary reservation afd
were to be given the kind of work Cor
which they We're most fitted. TIE
profit of their labor was to inure to the
county. A prisoner could make objcc
tion to the clothing furnished by the
jail unless 1t Ind been thoroughly fu-
migated and steamed before given to
him and a number of other minor pro-
visions concerning the conduct of the
Institution were included In the bill.
Senator Kennedy asked for the adop-
tion Of the report killlng the bill After
