RISE OF MARCUS DAILY.

Marcus Daily is a wondrous character.
He found himself a boyish waif from
ireland at the California coast at the
age of g. Nature had granted him a fine
constitution and good. common sense. lie
did not hunt around hOpelessly for fancy
Jobs, but took the first thing that offered
a mode of livelihood. After a little he
drifted TO Nevada, and was employed
around the great mines OF Virginia City.
where he became a practical miner, and
grew thoroughly familiar with the in
trinsic mysteries of mneralogy. About
1873 he came TO Butte. and was mainlyiin-
strumental in selecting and securing the
great copper and silver-mines for the
Anaconda company. Of which he is now
general manager. His wealth Is very
great, and no just estimate can be made
of it,
In person. Mr.. DAILY is midde-sized and
trinity built. He has a pleasant intel
lectual face, fresh colored and his keen,
flashing eyes are now shaded by gold
trimmed glasses. Not trace Of Irish ac-
cent remains in his speech, unless when
he grows vehement or becomes really ex-
cited.
Like all men Of strong will and decided
character. Mr. Daily has his enemies
chiefly political. But his bltterest enemy
will not deny his wonderful ability as a
man Of affairs. While uniformly kind and
mainly just 70 his employees. he never
forgets a derelictOn Of duty and he
keeps as sharp an eye on the minutiae
OF mining work to-day as he did when he
was young, struggling Oversecr. twenty
years ago. No man in the employ OF
the Anaconda company knows when Mar
Gus Daily may drop in upon him. whether
in the womb of the earth. al the bottom
of a shaft. or casting up his accounts in
the Office on the hill. Those who love
Mr.. Daly-and they are many-call him,
IN his absence. THE old Man" Those
who have a grudge against him speak
OF him as MI DAILY" Those who adj

jealous of him, call him. also In his alb
sence, the Marquis OF Butte''-a play, OF
course, on his Christian name.
DAILY Is well known throughout the coun-
try as the owner OF some OF the fastest
horses in America. His colors have be-
come familiar on all the great race
courses. Two seasons ago they were

For Governor in 1901.

Some of the papers for want of other
exciting political themes, are talking
as to who the candidate for governor
will be in 1901. Among those sug-
gested are eX-Congressman Perkins,
ex-senator Funk, congressman
Curtis, Senator Cheshire and others.
This list can perhaps be enlarged
without lowering it's quality, although
any one of these gentlemen would no
doubt be q creditable chief executive.
Perhaps one or two of them might be
even more.
When it comes time to nominate q
man for governor, republicans should
not only nominate man who has the
executive ability to fill the Office, but
who is also statesman, pablo
speaker of ability and leader of men.
We need candidate for governor who
can go on the stump and lead the
campaign. During the past fifteen or
twenty years Iowa republicans have
had experience in abundance both with
gubernatorial candidates who could
not lead on the stump and who could,
and it has been satisfactory is the work
and in the results when we have had an
able speaker.
IfFarmer Wheeler had been strong
orator we doubt very much if he would
have been beaten. Mr.. Hutchinson
was but little better, and one or two
others surpassed them very slightly in
this particular, if at all. Contrast
these campaigns with those led by
Frank Jackson or Leslie M. Shaw, or
back beyond these, VIM. M. Stone or
Sam Kirkwood. There is no doubt
but one of the essentials for candi-
date for governor to have is the ability
to advocate the party's principles in
public speech, and the fellows who are
not success at this had about
as we'll not ask for the nomination. The
state has plenty of able men both in
business ability, in craftsmanship and
rs public speakers to choose from. We
have no doubt but a strong man will
be selected.

McPher Opposed to Seating
Roberts.

Malvern, Ia, Nov. 1.-THE matter
of seating Representative Roberts as a
member of the United States congress
is q subject that has aroused consider
able interest in Malvern. Last Sun
day evening q union meeting of all the
churches was held at which each of the
pastors of the several churches repre-
sented made addresses on the subject
of polygamy, in which they emphatic
ally denounced that form of religion
and opposed the seating of the repre-
sentative elect from Utah. Last even
ing the Hon. Smith Mcpherson adj
dressed a mass meeting of citizens at
the Baptist church ON the subject of
the polygamy teaching and pr actices o
the Mormon church and the results of
seating Representative Roberts in our
national congress-
Congressman Mcpherson, in his
clear, logical manner, held the undi-
vided attention of his audience for an
hour. In his address he reviewed the
history of Mormonism, its practices
and teachings, and taking an advanced
stand as member of congress against
the admission of Representative elect
Roberts, saying that under and by
virtue of the agreement made by the
Mormon people of Utah with the
government, all Mormons, were to
abstain from the practice of polygamy
and it was Incorporated into the act
admitting Utah as state into the
union.
AS Roberts was confessed polyga-
mist, and was practicing polygamy and
Boosting of it as his religion and belief,
he was violating the laws of the nation
al government and the laws of his own
state, and was not entitled to voice
or vote, and, consequently, was not an
elector, nor permitted to enjoy the EN-
oluments of the office to which he was
elected by his state, and that congress
has the power to prevent his being
seated.
The address was we'll received by the
large concourse of people present ond
petitions addressed to Congressman
Mcpherson to use all effort in his pow
er to oppose the seating of Reprepenta-
tive Roberts in congress and for repre-
sentatives to take measures to expel
him should he be seated, were present
ed to voters for signature, which petit
tions were universally signed by all
voters in the vicinity.

Letter From Will BeadIe.

J. w. B. Cole has received q letter
from Will Beadle, written October Goth
at Condabo, which, we understand, is
about eight miles east of San Fernando.
We extract the following from the
letter:
II have sent you two Manila papers
with Mauser and Crag-Jorgensen
cartridge and kind of nut that grows
here. Lots of these nuts grow here.
The natives like them but do not.
81 will try and tell you something
about the people here. They are small,
the average of them only coming up to
the shoulder of the average Americans
shoulder. Very few of them wear
shoes. A thousand of them go bare
footed the year around where one
wears shoes. Most of the men wear
white suit. Around Manila the peo-
pie seem industrious but in the interior
thoy are lazier. They lie around and
just raise enough rice to live on. Their
main food is rice and fish. They will
cook pot of rice and the whole family
will gather around and sit down, take
out the rice with their fingers and eat
it like dogs. They don't even sweeten
it.
"Their houses are made of nipa and
bamboo, bamboo frame and nipa
matched roof. They are built eight or
ten feet high to be above the water in
the rainy season. The water has gone
down some now, the rainy season being
nearly over. For the last three months
the country as far as you could see was
water and swamps. The only way we
have to get rations up here is by the
river. The gun boat brings them up
from Calumpit, the train brings them
from Manila to Calumpit.
"a COW is something we don't see in
this country. There are few around
Manila, brought from Australia. There
is water buffalo here the niggers
milk. There are lots of chickens here
and the soldiers make them suffer.
There are lots of cocoa nuts raised here
and bananas grow all over the streets
and in every yard. There is fruit
here called mangos that are fine eat
ing. The soldiers trade hard tack for
them.
"The natives put all their money in
to building big rock churches. The
natives arc all catholics. The sport
here is rooster fighting.
"Since the boys are getting seasoned
they are healthy. / weigh about $50
pounds, being about Is pounds heavier
and have grown two inches taller since
leaving there.
"There are only two companies of us
stationed here. am on guard every
other night and day. Lawton has gone
on up north. Lawton is the man who
will put the niggers on the run

Gen. John b. Gordon is delivering
his celebrated lecture on "The Last
Days of the Confederacy'' at several
points in western Iowa this fall, speak
ing at Harlan last week. The editor
of this paper heard him deliver this
lecture at Iowa City several years ago
and considered it one of the most elo-
quent lectures he ever heard. Gordon
was one who was among the chief
actors in the great events around Rich
mond eliminating at Appamatox. His
description of the close of the great
struggle is most graphic, pathetic and
eloquent. He is now patriotic
American and an honor to his state
and to the country.

There has been considerable talk the
last few weeks that Gov. Shaw would
be proper man to put on the ticket
with Mckinley next year for Vice
President, and it seems this suggestion
and talk has not originated in Iowa.
Such an arrangement is favorably
mentioned in New York, Connecticut
and other eastern states as well as in
the Dakotas and the west. Gov. Shaw
has attracted national attention by his
able speeches on the money question,
and by his candid and fearless treat
ment of this and other questions. When
others faltered he remained steadfast,
showing courage and confidence in his
opinions. He is one of the original
characters in politics and has great
force and ability. The people of Iowa
thoroughly believe in him and they
would be immensely pleased if the
high Office of vice president should be
given to him.

Gavel for Henderson.
Des Moines. Nov. is, 1899.

Des Moines. Nov. is, 1899
To Editor of the REPUBLICAN, My
dear sir: There seems to be every
prospect that Iowa will have the good
fortune to furnish the next Speaker of
the National House of Representatives,
in the person of the Hon. David b.
Henderson. This prominence accord
ed the state in the nations councils is
much appreciated by all our citizens.
In recognition of his sterling quail
ties and the honor he brings to the
state, it has been suggested that the
people of Iowa present Colonel Hen
derson with gavel for use during his
term in the Speakers chair.
Looking toward the fulfillment of
this suggestion, the committee has ac-
cepted design prepared by Mr..
Stephen G. Wilcox, of this city, and
that gentleman is now manufacturing q
gavel for the above mentioned purpose.
The wood for the handle is native
Usage, secured near this city, while
that for the mallet portion of the gavel
was contributed by Captain Charles V.
Mount, of Shenandoah, late of Company
e, Fifty-first Iowa, and is block of
rosewood taken from the Reina Maria
Christina Admiral Montejo's flagship
in the battle which took place in
Manila Bay. The gavsl will be highly
ornamented with gold heads, ferrules,
and medallions, and provided with a
fine mahogany case. 1t is all to be
manufactured in Iowa, and will cost
about one hundred and fifty dollars
when completed.
1t is expected that Governor Shaw
will make the presentation, and it
is desired the gavel be the gift of all
Iowa to Col. Henderson. The COM
mittee will be pleased to receive con
tributions, and in such amounts and
from those persons who desire to have
a part in so pleasant an undertaking.
No amount greater than one dollar
will be accepted from any contributor.
The money should be sent to Frank
F. Merriam, State Auditor, at Des
Moines.
Give this your early attention and
greatly oblige:
Yours very sincerity,
J. A. Il. HULL,
Gro. l.. DoBsoN,

The writer of this saw young Logan
and his aged mother in June 1897 at
the unwilling of the Logan monument.
For two hours Maj. Logan stood be-
side his mother, who was seated, bow
ing as the great concourse of people
swept past the reviewing stand. Fault
lessly dressed, of soldier-like bearing
and appearance, in whose features and
figure could be traced resemblance
to those of heoric mould preserved in
bronze in the equestrian statue just I'M
yelled beside them, receiving with his
mother the cheers and acknowledging
the salutes from the remaining frag-
ments of the regiments Gen. Logan
had commanded thirty years before,
he was thus the central figure of one of
the greatest pagents Chicago ever had.
Young Logan had some of the qualities
that made his father famous as mill
tary man and as statesman, but he
also lacked some of them. The fact
that his father was famous and hero
seemed to have spoiled his conduct
somewhat, in the eyes of his country
men. His heroic death in the Philip
pines is proof at lea st of his great
courage.
