From the Davenport Democrat. dem.

From the Davenport Democrat. Dem)
j. r. Burgess, the acting chairman
of what he is pleased to call "the Dem
ocratic state central committee" and
E. NJ. Carr, the secretary Of the same
organization, have sent to the papers q
copy of what they denominate "call
for Democratic state convention"
This gathering is to be held in the city
of Marshalltown ON Wednesday, the
7th of September, for the purposes of
nominating candidates for secretary of
state, auditor, judge of the supreme
court, clerk and reporter of the same
judicial body, attorney general, rail
road commissioner for the whole term,
and also to fill vacancy. The ratio is
to be one delegate for each county, and
one delegate for each 200 votes and
fraction thereof of over 100 votes cast
for F. E. White, candidate for govern
or in 1897.
The Democrats of this part of Iowa
did not vote for Fred White In very
large numbers. This is shown by the
small representation this county is en-
titled to. 1t is six below Clinton coun-
ty; one below Des Moines county; thir.
teen below Dubuque county; seven be-
low Lee; thirteen below Polk; six below
Pottawattamie, and so on. In Demo
cratic times and on Democratic lines
Scott county 10 up next to the head of
the list in the size of the delegation to
the Democratic conventions.
Nearly 1000 Scott county Democrats
are ruled out of this MarshalltoWn con
vention by the wording of the call
which says: "All Iowa voters in sym
pathy with the Democratic National
platform of 1896, and the state plat
form of the of the party last year" are
invited but 10 others. The sound
money Democrats have not changed
their position by II hairs width. They
will not accept Organism any more in
1898 than they did in 1896. A princi-
pie of honesty then remains unchanged
at this time.
This country is doing business on
gold basis, and Democrats who are 10y
al to the enduring and fundamental
tentes of Democracy will do nothing
to invest the silver piece with value
even nominal though it be that does
not belong to it. Our country's flag
and our country's standard of currency
must be kept above reproach.

Last Thursday evening Senator Thur
ston addressed an audience of several
thousand people at the auditorium on
the exposition grounds. The meeting
was presided over by the president of
the national league ofrepublican clubs.
The audience was composed of dele
gates from all parts of the United
States and of Omaha people. The Sen
ator had just seturned from Washing
ton and his reception by the people was
most fiattering. His speech was patri-
otto and eloquent. His sturdy anglo.
saxon was used to excellent advantage.

Bryan and his regiment bid their
friends at Omaha goodbye last week.
There is a wide difference of opinion
among Bryan's own friends as to
whether 1t was appropriate for him to
60 into the army as colonel. Some of
his own friends say it will ruin him po.
litlcally while others contend it is pa
triotic and proper. OF course he is
without military knowledge or expe-
ence. He is what is known as a politi-
Cal soldier. There is doubt in the
minds of the public generally whether
any man without proficient knowledge
of military matters should be given
the important place of colonel. Bry-
ans regiments composed of republi-
cans and democrats alike and is pretty
good regiment, though not very well
drilled as yet.

The writer attended meetings of the
national convention of republican
leagues at Omaha last week and is
more than ever impressed with the
benefits to the party of that organiza-
ton. Its leading membership is com
posed Of the best brain and blood of
the party. They are men of action,
of resources, of ambition, of ability.
Many of them are the brightest and
most progressive party leaders in the
country. Their conventions bring
them together for consultation. Their
organization is auxiliary to the regu-
lar party organization and many past
campaigns witness that their organi-
cation has been great aid. The re-
publican party and the American pub
lie should give these broad minded,
liberal, progressive and aggressive
fellows due credit for the work being
done by them.

LATE Young's Opinion.

Taking charge of Cuba is a big enter
prize. Our troubles will not be oyer
when the Spanish are conquered. We
will have trouble with the Insurgents
if the island isnot turned over to them,
and it will never do to turn it over to
them, and their leaders will never be
satisfied unless they shall be permitted
to be the tyrants over the Spaniards as
the Spaniards have been over them.
This is only my judgement. / hope it
may be erroneous.
After peace is declared, it will take
the Spanish forever to become reconcil-
ed to the Yankees. 1t has taken the
American people thirty.fve years to
forgive each other. 1t will take the
Spaniard century to forgive the
American pigs. However, if the
Americans take temporary control of
the island and give the people good,
clean, honest and capable government,
putting the spirit of intelligence and
enterprise into everything, the better
class of Spaniards may appreciate it..
But the inhabitants of Cuba are gener-
ally uneducated. In connection with
the new order of things the American
administration will have many trials.

There is one plank the republican
state platform should contain this year
more than usual and that is one in ia
vor of paying the private soldier of
the volunteers better wages. The pay
is so low, fifty cents a day, that any
poor man with family or any one de
pendent OH him cannot afford to enlist
unless he can get a commission. The
pay is not in comparison with the SER
vices rendered or the hardships endured.
The commissioned officers get most of
the glory and they get good pay. The
private who does his duty in drill,
march, camp and battle is the one who
earns more than he gets. The United
States has the best volunteer army in
the world and it will help to keep up
the standard if nearer justice is done
Our party can afford to take stand in
favor of increasing the pay of the pri.
vate volunteer.

The 500. 100000 apopular" bond is.

The $200.000,000 popular" bond is
sue wasn't gobbed up by the Ameri-
can farmers. Advocate.
BY the above we suppose the Advo-
cate means to inslnuate that the bond
issue was not popular, and that our,
farmers are not prosperous enough
to make investments. 1t is sometimes
easier and safer to make an insinua-
ton than direct charge, but it isn't
near so courageous. If the one insin-
uating sees he is mistaken he can
claim he is misunderstood, and meant
something different. AS to the bond
issue, that $200,000,000 as offered
and by the time the bidding was closed
Sl,365,0O0,OO0 as applied for by the
people, is evidence that it was popular
enough to satisfy most people. The
whole loan is being secured without
the services of Pierpont or a Bel
mond, or any other great agency. But
this is a republican administration. If
the Advocate means to insinuate that
farmers are too poor to make invest
ments we have only to say that they
are well enough off to be well pleased
that they are under republican instead
of democratic rule. IT we are blessed
with good crop this year times will
be excellent among the farmers, for
the demand for products is greater
than for many years.

y The democratic leaders are bother
ing their heads for a political issue to
make their congressional and state
campaigns OIL this year. The people
would not oppose the war, hence it
would not do to make that an issue.
Bryan and Cleveland, who perhaps
represent democracy, populistic and
sound money, have both declared for
the war but are both against acquiring
new territory. That will likely be an
issue. We have added the Hawaiin is

Some are expressing themselves asbe-
ing uneasy at the rather heated contest
now going on for the republican con-
gressional nomination in the Ninth
district. 1t is even expressed by some
republicans that if so and so is not
nominated that certain localities
will! largely vote for the democratic
candidate. This is poor talk to win
votes with for their candidate. We
think any one of the gentlemen promi.
nently mentioned for the position
ought to and would command the active
cooperation and support of every good
republican in the Ninth district. We
are going to show again that we can
differ as to candidates but when the
convention decides we will submit to
the choice of a majority and 60 to
work for the success of the party. Sub
hitting to the will of the majority is
republicanism.

FAST MAIL WRECKED.
Charles Foley, the Fireman,
Was Killed Near Sterry.

The Fast Mail that left Topeka for
Newton this morning at O'Clock met
with a serious accident near Sterry, six
miles west of Emporia and the fireman.
Charles Foley, was killed
Engine 26S in charge of Engineer Jas.
Rollo and Fireman Charles Foley while
running about go miles an hour broke
both main rods leaving the engine help
less except for the air brakes. Fireman
Foley jumped when the accident oc-
Cured and was found dead beside the
track. Killed from the fall Engineer
Rollo stuck to his post and stopped the
train without any injury and without
the train leaving the track.
The details of the accident, which oc-
Cured at about o'clock, are very
meagre and a full report has not been
obtained in the superintendent office
at Topeka. Foley was an extra fireman
and lives at 5O4 East Seventeenth street.
The accident is unprecedented in rail-
road history. For both main rods to
break has never been known before.
The accident might have resulted in the
derailing of the train but neither the
cars nor the engine left the track.
