GOV. JONES IN THE SADDLE.
All Of Little Rock Turned out to
See First Arkansas Regi
ment on Dress Parade.
CAMP LOGAN H. ROOTS THE SCENE.
The Regiment to be Given a Thirty
Days Furlough and then Mus
tered Out of Service.

Gov Jones reviewed the First Ar.
kansas volunteer infantry on the
drill grounds at Fort Logan H,
Roots yesterday afternoon at
o'clock. The spectacle was a mag.
niicent one and the hundreds of vist
tors who witnessed it are proudef
than ever of the First regiment
sent out of Aarkansas to the Span-
lsh-American war. Fashionably-
attired femininitY, radiant under
the mild sunshine, did not permit
the governor to monopolize th{
pleasure of reviewing the troops.
Gay equipages we're there by the
scores and it was a great afternoon
on the prettiest natural campus, il
such it may be called, in the world.
The survivors of Chickamauga camp
life saw in the smile-wreathed
faces OF the spectators the sincerest
of welcomes. l was compensation
for the sacrifice, the sufferings, the
hardships and dangers incident to a
career in the volunteer army.
There were 700 enlisted men in
line. There was precision of move
ment as they marched, denoted the
value of the course OF training the
men underwent at Camp Thomas
Troops seasoned by years of cam
paigning could have made no finer
showing. All men of splendid phys
ique, they presented a magnificent
appearance, in striking contrast to
the ununiformed, undrilled body of
volunteers as they marched oyer
the streets of Little Rock May %,
supposedly to the war.
At the conclusion the troops were
remarched to the camp grounds
and entertained many visitors who
felicitated with them upon their
return to Arkansas,
Col. Chandler states that by
Saturday he expects the camp to
be deserted. BY that time the
men will have been furloughed Tor
thirty days. Some have been given
the opportunity to get their dis
charge at once, but the majority
prefer to wait and be mustered out
at the expiration of the thirty day
turlough.
Complaints are numerous among
the men in regard to the meager
fare furnished them, These com
plants, as investigation shows, dc
not emanate from chronic kickers,
One of the men in company A, of
Hot Springs, complained that only
eleven loaves Of bread were parcel
ed out for the entire company yes
terday morning. Similar com
plants came from men in other
companies. The men attach the
blame to the quartermaster's de-
partment and say the trouble is a
lack of preparation for proper dis
tribution of food,

In 1896 Updegraff posed as the friend
of the old soldier There is no soldier
blood in Tom. In 1861 Tom did not GO
to war. he staid at home and held
down the Soffice of county clerk. In
1872 he bolted Grant. He stumped
the district later against Captain
Granger. In 1896 Updegraff promised
the old soldiers the earth. They rallied
as one man to his support. He had
nothing to give them in return but the
post offices, and the republican party
believes in giving the offices to the
soldiers all things being equal. Who
got the offices? Non-soldiers got the
best in the district. These are the best
offices in the district and they went to
non-soldiers:
Clear Lake, Nora Springs, Marble
Rock, Charles City, New Hampton,
Manley, Usage, Riceville, Cresco,
Elma. Nashua, Oelwein, Waucoma,
Arlington, Postville, Monona, Nc
Gregor, Lansing, and many others.
In Waukon and West Union they
were soldiers, but they got the offices
because they were Mr.. Updegraff's
strikers, and not because they were
soldiers. Both candidates here are
non-soldiers. A few cross roads post
offices have been turned over to the G.
A. r. men, but generally, although
there have been old soldier candidates
in every good town, they have been
turned down. The G. A. r. boys are
not for Tom. Blythe's father and
brother were soldiers, while he him
self was young boy at that time. His
natural sympathy is with the soldiers
and he will get their votes.

HAUGEN-UPDEGRAFF COMBINE.

At secret meeting of Updegraff men
and few of Haugen's supporters held
last night, combine of the Haugen
and Updegraff forces was formed, and
Updegraff wrote to his managers here
to work for Haugen. After the abuse
of Haugen in the Republican of July
2Sth, and in view of the fact that Hau-
gen has no possible chance of nomina-
ton, 1t is surprise to us that he allows
them to bulldoze him in this manner.
1t is bluff to carry Winneshiek for
Haugen and in the congressional con-
vention to throw it to Updegraff. The
Scandinavians of this county will not
permit such trickery.

BRO. BAILEY wants to know what
Blythe has done to demonstrate his
fitness for congress. In 1883 Blythe
was member of the 22d General AS
sembly. In 1890 in the 2Srd General
Assembly, famous as the deadlock ses-
sion, Blythe was chosen leader of the
republican side and led the forces in
the debate with brilliancy which at
tracted the attention of the whole coun'
try. Bailey will himself remember in
Producing gentleman from Decorah
to Blythe at that session and saying
Come over with me to the house
There is a bright young man over there
the leader of our side of the house In
the deadlock contest, easily head ant
shoulders above the others. He will
attain prominence in Iowa politics ant
I want you to meet him."

UPpEaRAFF has proven himself

UPDEGRAFF has proven himself
slothful and inadequate as a represen-
tative, besides the fact that during the
last two years his name has never ap-
peared in the Metropolitan press in
connection with any achievement in
congress. He has been unable to Sc
cure for his district any of the federal
patronage which has fallen to the
state of Iowa and been distributed
among the congressman. In the make
up of the army about 200 good appoint
ments came to Iowa. Hull got over
20 for the Seventh District, Updegraff
got one, which went to son of Gov.
Larrabee. In the division of Iowa pat
ronage he got bank examiner, which
went to his henchman and political
manager, Henry Meyer, of Elkader, in
his home county. Thus Clayton coun-
ty and Clermont, which is adjacent to
Clayton county, got all Mr.. Updegraff
has secured, while the balance of the
district Is entirely ignored. Does any
one suppose for a moment that with
Blythe as congressman the interests OF
the district would be so neglected?

Two years ago when the caucuses in
two counties demonstrated that
Blythe's time was not come, and that
the people wanted to give Updegraff
lone more term" Blythe withdrew
from the canvass, published an open
letter to his friends in the district urg-
ing them to fall in line and promote
party harmony and assist in gaining a
great republican victory. He then
went to the convention, spoke ratifying
the nomination, took the stump Eand
made forty speeches for Updegraff, and
by the way, they were better speeches
and to bigger crowds than in the meet
ings held by the candidate himself.
The people of this county will remem-
ber this. Such manly, loyal course
is sure TO be appreciated aud rewarded
by the people.

BLYTHE is ranked as one of the
strong campaign speakers of the state.
In 1896 he spoke under the direction of
the national committee in the largest
cities of Indiana and Illinois, and was
in great demand all over Iowa, while
Tom Updegraff was doing the same
thing at Frankville, Ridgeway, Ossian
and other little towns of this district.
If Blythe is nominated the Fourth Dis
trict will soon rank with the districts
represented by Dolliver and Cousins.
In this connection, does any one re-
member of Mr.. Updegraff ever being
