NO SCORES 10 SETTLE.
Defeated Candidates Accept Situa
without bitterness,

Il
Des Moines, Aug. 5.-The more
smoke Of the battle Of Wednes,
clears away, the better the smell of
Iatmosphere, politically, and the less
cuse there is for attempting to wo
up bitterness and strife over the iud.
cial nomination. Sensational attempts
have been made to twist the occurrence
es OF that day so as to make them ap-
ply to the senatorial question. Moth
ing appears to be worth much nowa-
days in the minds of some newspapers
and correspondents that does not apply
to the senatorial question and ii
anything occurs politically that does
not apply thereto, some way must be
found to make it SO amply In this, as
IN many other things it is best to count
ten, or even more, before speaking, and
those who have adopted this rule will
have less regret at the end OF few
weeks than those who gave vent to
feelings of disappointment and imagine
airy resentment. The Fifth district peo-
pie are coming around all right, and
the leading influences that were for
Judge Burnham are realizing that they
have no kick coming, outside of their
own district. AT least that is the way
good many of them look at it, and
they take their defeat phlrosophically.
No man could be more generous or less
affected by such defeat than Judge
Burnham himself. He is young man.
and strong one. The contest for
judge has done him no harm, and he
has future full of promise. Prom
lnent friends of judge Burnham and
Judge Sherwin got together here after
the nomination, and agreed that there
We're no future scores to settle, and
that no sore spots existed that nealed
to be healed by wounds inflicted in re-
turn for those received by the Burn
ham people.
One of the most frequent comments
made upon the new Auditorium was in
regard to its excellent acoustic prop
critics. Every person in the building
could hear and understand distinctly
anything said in reasonable tone Of
voice, in any other part of the room.
This is probably the best thing that
could be said of the auditorium, and
is good news for the state, which will
make great deal of use of it. BY
state fair time it will be finished and
ready for use for any and every pllr-
pose. It will do another thing, and
that is 1t will bring TO Des, Moines
great spectacular attractions, grand
opera and other things which CANNOT
be supported from the seating capacity
OF any theater or hall now in this city,
1t was quite an unusual thing for a
resolution OF praise to be adopted Ivy
an Iowa caaycntion conca mug the
public spiritedness of the people Of
Des MONIES, end the fact :i,at SSH ac.
tion was taken shows how well please
ed the crowd was with the ne Audis
torium.
1t is not likely that the state cam.
paign will be opened before the list of
October, although Governor Shaw will
probably make some speeches on his
own account before that time. 1t will
not, however, be formal opening OF
his campaign, and his speeches will be-
rather of an informal nature, and will
not be extensively reported. Even after
the campaign does open it will be inter-
rupted by several important functions
in and out of town. After the state fai.
is over there will soon be the welcome
to the Fifty-first Iowa regiment, when
1t lands in San Francisco, and will be-
met by Governor Shaw and his staff.
Adiutant General Byers, Commander
Bailey of the G. A. r., and Others Of
that order, besides numerous citizens
of Iowa who are interested in the req
ment. 1t is quite likely there will be
large party from Iowa in San Fran
CISCO to meet the regiment. 1t will get
there somewhere from September Is
to October 1. Then there will b. The

abcnt the same time or shortly after
wards. This will be attended by Gov
error Shaw and Others from Iowa. The
state will DC well represented. About
this time, too,t comes the Inauguration
