Sioux City, Ia, Aug. 10. = Tommy
White and Billy O'Donnell met here in
fifteen round bout for purse of 81, 900.
White was an easy winner, getting the
decision on points. O'Donnell was
clearly out-classed at every stage OF
the contest, and White landed on him
at will, and could have knocked him
out on numerous occasions if he had
cared to do so. A good crowd witnessed
the bout. A large force of police was
at the ringside to see there was no
brutality and would have interfered
had there been rough fighting.

FOR HAWKEYE FOLKS
STATE ITEMS WHICH WILL BE OF
GENERAL INTEREST.

Des Moines, Ia, Aug 1.-THE Demo-
cratic state convention yesterday NOM
mated the following: Governor, Fred
E. White, of Keokuk, county; lieuten-
ant governor, M. l.. Bevis, Montgom-
cry; judge supreme court, A. Van
Wagenen, Woodbury.; railway commits
sioner. w. H. Calhoun, Marshall; SUI
Hoist, Boone. The Populist state con-
vention also met and Endorsed the
above ticket. All the nominees are
Democrats except Calhoun. who was
the Populist candidate. The Chicago
platform was Endorsed in it's entirety,
and the Democratic state committee
was empowered to fill any vacancies
caused by death or otherwise.
Sells Could Have Been Nominated.
Cato Sells could have been named for
governor but was not acceptable to the
Populists and withdrew, throwing his
strength to White. Fred E. White was
the candidate on the fusion ticket two
years ago, being defeated by Governor
Shaw, who is the Republican candidate
again. The convention was very tur-
bulent throughout, and the business
was transacted with difficulty, but the
results are satisfactory to the radical
silver element, which was in control. 1t
is not probable, however, that the
Sound money" element will make an
attempt to maintain separate organ
ization this year.
New State Central Committee.
The new state central committee is
as follows: First district, w. l.. Throop;
Second, c. P. Hipwell; Third, e. M.
Carr; Fourth, w. o. Holman; Fifth, A..
A. Jackson; Sixth, S. F. Mcconnell;
Seventh, Geo. A. Huffman; Eighth, w.
R. Hart; Ninth, E. H. Bickford; Tenth,
]. B. Romans; Eleventh, T. F. Ward.
George A. Huffman, chairman; e. H.
Bickford, secretary, and ]. B. Romans,
treasurer.
With Regard to Expansion.
In the speech to the convention Sells
stood up stoutly for silver and regard
ing expansion he said: I'VE have
reached crisis in our national life.
The Declaration of Independence, federal
constitution and Monroe doctrine are
being devoured by avaricious can
nibals." He scored the trusts and
came out probably for Bryan, whom
he called the modern Thomas Jeffer-
son. The platform also indorses Bry-
an, and regarding expansion says that
for the same reason we glory in the
successful war against Spain. we de-
precate and continue war against the
Filipinos. II war against
Spain was right - and it was = that
against the natives of the Philippines
is wrong" That is the pith
of the plank. Trusts are vigorously
denounced, as is an alliance with Great
Britain or any foreign power.
