Ticket In Had shane.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Oct 1S.-(Special THE
judicial ticket of the Fourth judicial district
OF Iowa is in a sadly mixed up state. Its
condition is such that it is the cause Of con-
siderable worry to the various candidates
and also TO their friends and supporters. The
trouble commenced when various members
OF the democratic party of the district bolted
the democratic judicial convention and when
the populists of the district also concluded
to put candidate in the field. 1t has re-
suited in quite little bitterness among the
different members of the parties and it has
gone to such an extent that a protest has
candidate. For years past the judiciary of
the Fourth district has been nonpartsan-
three republican judges and one democrat
The republicans wanted to combine this
and so did large number OF the democrats
Conventions here held at Lemars and the
, democrats nominated Judge r. r. Gaynor.
The republicans nominated William Hutch
inson, George W. Wakefield and j. +. Oliver.
Then they indorsed the nomination of Judge
+. X. Gaynor as made by the democrats All
seemed to be satisfactory until few weeks
| ago. Then the populists in convention nom
mated A. l.. Beardsley OF Sioux City, a
| democrat, as their candidate for judicial
honors. Mr.. Beardsley accepted the nom
| ination and began his canvass But soon
came word from the democratic opponents of
Judge Gaynor that they were going to call
convention and name candidate for
judge. After fight they did this and
named young Beardsley, the populist party &
candidate. BY naming him they are in
hopes that he can defeat Judge Gaynor

which party he intends to cling to. He may
have his name placed on the republican
ticket instead of on the democratic. 10 is
| also a fact that Beardsley may have to stand
on the populist ticket instead of the dem.
ocraric, as protest has been made in Des
Moines against his name going on the dem

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia, Oct 1S.--To the
Editor of The Bee--In your issue of the
18th you allot considerable space to the
action commenced by Mrs. James and from
n perusal of same the reader would infer
that l had, by misrepresentation. ETC., Sc
cured property from her I presume your
desire is to chronicle the news and deal
with facts. and under this Impression ask
that you give this as prominent space as
you did the article in question. Following
are the facts: | traded with Judge James
for some property in this city that was in
the name Of Mrs. James. | never held any
talk with Mrs James as to the transaction;
as part consideration ! decided Mrs. James
100 acres OF land in Holt county. This land
came to me in a trade by warranty deed
and as the parties were responsible | took
ii for granted that the deed was good and
under this impression gave James warranty
deed. During the summer Mr.. James sent
for an abstract of title and 1t shows de-
fcct in the title and as matter of fact
this should be remedied and l have never
taken any other position in the matter. as
to value or consideration of land ! know
little and have never seen it up to the time
| traded same to James. F. A. BlXBf.

college at Ames as a brigadier general in
the war with Spain, thus, as he claimed
ignoring the officers of the Iowa National
Guard and insulting the Union Veterans, as
Lincoln was a confederate officer. The ad-
dress has awakened no little Indignation, as
at the time Of his appointment Lincoln was
inspector general of the Iowa National
Guard and had been prominently Unidentified
with the organization for many years
