George Chapple. formerly resident OF
this city, Is, perhaps. the heaviest indi-
vidual loser. He owned four big buildings
consumed by the fire. Judge Davis. a
Montana man, sustained the loss OF the
best log block in Dawson. Its original cost
was 900. There were. however. frame
structures erected at an even greater
cost

Many OF the heaviest losers were for

INaRATITUDB OF POLITICS.

Cedar Rapids Republican.
"Ret" Clarlson has been turned down
as candidate for the secretaryship of the
senate. 1t is a case Of the ingratitude Of
politics. 1t was surprise to many Of his
Iowa friends that he should be candidate
for such q position at all. but he seems
to have fallen a few votes short OF the
ONCE which was really far beneath his de-
serts and qualifications. The career OF Mr..
Clarkson is one OF the most Interesting In
the political history Of this state-nor need
It be assumed that the career IL ended. He
Is still in the maturity of his power.
During the war Of 61-65. the Clarksons
lived in Grundy county on the Melross
farm. In due time James s. went to Des
Moines as compositor on the Register.
He wrote some letters over the signature
Of ''Ret" and that name has chung to him
ever since. His brother Richard p. worked
on the same paper as a compositor. Ret"
became city editor and about 1870 the two
brothers, assisted by their father. pur-
chased the Register and started that paper
on its phenomenal career In Western jour-
nalism. FRET" Clarkson as the editor and
politician became a national figure He met
James g. Blaine and linked his political
fortunes with those of the Maine states
man. There never was in politics an In
stance of more devoted friendship. A
member of the Republican national COM
nittee. Mr.. Clarkson was practically In
charge Of the famous campaign that made
Benjamin Harrison president In 1885, Quay
was the nominal chairman, but Ret
Garrison did the real work at the head
quarters. After the election FRET" Clark
son could have had a seat in the cabinet
but he deferred to Mr.. Wanamsker who
had rendered the Republican party valua-
BILE services. Mr.. Garrison afterwards
took a minor position IN the postoflice de-
partment.
The accepting Of that office, at the urgent
request Of many politicians. including
James g. Blaine. was Mr.. Clarkson's great
est mistake. He disposed of his interest
in the RICHTER practically severing his con-
nection with Iowa. The disastrous Blaine
campaign of 1892, resulting in the Heath OF
Blaine, and the defeat of Harrison at the
polls practically threw Mr.. Clarlrson out
Of the channel Of the usual political in
duences. Since that time Mr.. Clarkson
has followed business life in Philadelphia
and New York where he has been interest,"
ed In telephone and other companies, both
as promoter and builder. In these he has
been more or less successful, but none OF
his successes has compensated him for
what he lost when he gave up Iowa and
Iowa people as the source of his influence
in national politics. When he left Iowa
he was able to command almost anything
within the gift of the Republicans Of the
state. the senatorship not excepted. II he
had remained in Iowa the contest might
not have been between Mr.. Gear and Mr..
Cummfns six years ago. but between Mr..
Garrison and Mr.. Gear, with the chances
largely in favor OF the former. Now he
has sought in vain the position Of secretary
of the senate.

His address was a literary masterpiece.
In smooth. well rounded sentences and
a rich, deep voice he pictured the pres

and the greed for foreign territory that
seemed to have saturaed the political
circles and blazed forth path to lead
the country back once more into its
