OUR CANDIDATE IN 1900
Democratic State Ticket.
Cold Comfort.

The national convention of the I'm
ion Veterans Union met in Des
. Moines last week and this is what they
did among other things:
They refused to permit a resolution
endorsing the PHILIPPINE policy of the
administration to be presented.
They passed a resolution denouncing
Governor Shaw nyigorous language for
recommending J. Rush Lincoln for ap-
pointment as brigadier general of vol
unteers at the breaking out of the
Spanish American war.
They resoluted against Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson for an alleged in
suit to their ommander-in-chief
Dyrenforth.
They threw harpoon into the pen
sion policy of the administration and
rubbed it in by referring to tas a con-
tinuation of the Hoke Smith methods
of depriving the old soldier of hisrights
1t was busy day, sultry too. Some
what chilly for Leslie NJ, mayhap.
Here is the resolution they rung in on
him:
Resolved that the declaration of
Governor Leslie NJ Shaw. which he
made in the Tabernacle at the camp
fire on last evening "that his endorse
ment and the appointment of ]. Rush
Lincoln, a confederate soldier, to the
position of brigadier general from Iowa
was right" is an insult to every mem
Der of the Union Veterans union, and
we most emphatically denounce the
declaration as an insull to u.s. and we
declare that the endorsement and APP
po1ntment was wrong. Wrong because
IN Iowa there were over 10000 brave.
loyal and true union soldiers, among
whom were hundreds as we'll qualified
to I'LL the honorable position of briga-
dier general and who would have left
lasting honor for the boys who wore
the blue from 81 to '65. That it was
wrong, to select from the great state
OF Iowa. where SO many of her sons now
live who won honor and distinction on
the field of battle for the union, to have
given tine post of honor from Iowa to
an ex-confederete soldier, and we most
vigorously condemn such action and de.
clare it to be the duty of every comrade
OF this order in Iowa to not support any
man for office who will give his support
and Influence to confederate, and in.
suit them by declara ton at our camp
flre that his action in endorsing that
appointment was right"
How our extremely patriotic breth.
rem of the press, who have been hurl-
ing epithets, will treat their action in
refusing to endorse the administration
PHILIPPINE policy, is omething we are
anxious to know. In the face of the

THAT JUDICIAL CONVENTION.
The Deadlock That Never was Broken.

We gave a resume of the business
transacted by the judiciary convention
in ST Johns in last weeks issue up to
the time of our going TO press and our
predictions proved TO be correct as the
convention adjourned without having
made any nomination. The delegates
OF Clinton county undoubtedly showed
the most selfish dispositions that could
be imagined and reached such degree
as TO prove their selishness had been
fostered for years. In commenting on
the outlook for an agreement to be ar
rived at between the two delegations
the Clinton Republican of last week ex-
pressed the sentiments of the whole del
egation from that county when it said
that "Olinton had nothing to lose by
holding out and not allowing Gratiot
man to be nominated, but everything TO
gain if the Gratiot delegation should at
the last moment concede the nomination
to Judge Daboll To express their SEN
timents more clearly it was Gratiot be
id and the party be ID with it.
That the delegation from Gratiot did all
that was possible to effect a nomination
cannot be doubted The following is a
copy of the proposition made to the
Clinton delegation on Thursday, the
day before the adjournment, and was
made in writing:
-,
ton selected, Kelly s. Scarf, as Gratiot's
candidate for circuit judge, and where
as. We the delegates of Gratiot county
TO this judicial convention, as delegates
and individually believe he is entitled
to this nomination, therefore, we ask the
delegation from Clinton county TO give
his name first consideration for this
nomination, but further, in order that
nothing may be left undone 10 secure a
republican nominee in this convention,
the Gratiot county delegation makes the
following proposition 70 the delegation
from Clinton county
That whenever the Clinton county
delegation as a whole are unfavorable Co
the candidacy of Kelly :. Scarf. and will
unite upon any republican candidate
from GratiOt county, as a candidate for
circuit judge on the republican ticket,
and pledge themselves TO support the
same in convention. the Gratiot county
delegation will cast their entire vote for
that candidate
There is nothing now standing in the
way for the election of Geo. p. Stone,
the combination candidate, and the
blame for this state Of affairs can only
be laid TO the selfshness shown by
Judge Daboll and his delegation.
