by lanpooning the late Republican
Legislature for having defeated the
Municipal Reform bill, the argument
being that the defeat Of the bill gave
great setback to the extension Of the
municipal ownership of public utili.
ties In Ohio.
Now It happens that the municipal
ownership Of public utilities is tile

nilism Ii government; and how the

the blow a trust controlled Legislature
has given to the principle Of municipal
ownership and Mt the same time under
take to read Mr.. Bryan out of the
Democratic party because he does not
fall deliriously In love with the Cleve-
landesque ideo Of "ho lding to the
principles of individualism" and "llm-
iting governmental functions to a
minimum" is paradox which the
ordinary Ohio Democrat will find
1t difficult to account for.
Municipal ownership is modified
paternalism applied. The people seem
to like it, the Democratic party ad-
vocates II, the Press Post endorsed It,
and Mr.. Bryan would be anything but
wise were he to close his eyes to the
growing popularity of this reform and
advocate a return to the rock of ''in.

tenanted a few years ago by Grover
Cleveland--apostle of the doctrine now

1t seems sometimes as II the news
papers of Ohio paid too much atten-
tion to these minor political appoint
ments, which are not in themselves OF
transcendant import. When one has
once seen the army of applicants for
each little position, he changes his
mind. There is a passion ror holding
public Office among the people Of Ohio
and many friends and many enemies
are made by each appointment. II re',
quires a good deal of skill to choose
for the best interests Of the party. The

As shown by recent votes in the

of only nine votes in that body against
free silver coinage at 16 to l. II Bryan
is elected president it will necessarily
carry into the free silver column the
following states now represented by
gold standard men and whose next
legislatures chose senator's: Kansas,
Montana, West Virginia, Idaho, Neb-
raska, Wyoming and Colorado. These
with two senators from Kentucky and
Louisiana who have already been chosen
and who will be free silver men dis
placing gold standard men, will make
the nine votes, making the senate tie

Wheeler for Judge.
Council Bluffs NopparieI.

| COUNCIL nuns NOupdritl
The judicial convention completed
its work yesterday and after another
long series of ballots selected as the
second nominee on the ticket, o. ID.
Wheeler, of Council Bluffs. Mr..
Wheeler is a young man of worth and
ability, well educated, thoroughly
equipped in all ways for the position,
and his integrity is beyond even the
touch of suspicion. The long drawn
out contest preceding his nomination
was not due to any opposition because
of personal reasons, hut rather to the
enthusiasm of the support which other
counties gave to their favourite candi-
dates. There were number of
worthy contestants for the nomination,
and their supporters staid by them 10y
ally until it became evident that con-
cessions must be made in order to Sc
cure choice. Then the majority OF
the votes We're gladly given to Mr..
Wheeler, and those which were still
given to other candidates, were cast
through fovOritism to them rather than
from hostility to the winner. The re-
suit of the convention leaves no sore
spots and there is a hearty acquiesence
in the choice thus made, and every del
egate returns home Wheeler man,
whoever may have beenl his favorite
before.
With such nominees as Judge Macy
and Mr.. Wheeler, it is not to be won
dered ut that the democracy finds it
difficult to secure the consent of any
one to make the race against them.
To accept a nomination in opposition
to them is simply to accept defeat, for
their election is conceded.
Orville ID. Wheeler was born Nov
ember %, 1860, near Savannah, Mo.
His early life was spent on the farm
till he was IL years of age, when he en-
tered the State University of Iowa
from the public schools of this state.
He took six years course in the col
legiate department, graduating with
degree of PHI. b. Afterwards he re-
turned to the university for course in
law, graduating from this department
of the institution in 1888. In the mean
time Mr.. Wheeler spent two years at
civil engineering and one year as prin-
cipal of the high school at Sigourney.
He came to Council Bluffs in 1883 and
engaged in the practice of law in part
nership with Hon. l.. W. Ross, and was
later in partnership with ID. nj.
West, until 1893. Since that time he
has been alone in the practice of his
profession in this city. Mr.. Wheeler
is q Mason, an Odd Fellow, a member
OF the Ancient Order of United Wood
men, and Methodist.
Colonel Saunders left last evening
for Des Moines to present to the COVER
nor the memorial of the convention,
asking for the immediate appointment
of Mr.. Wheeler and expects to return
with the new judges commission in his
pocket, so that he will be qualified to
take the bench on Saturday when
Judge Smith leaves it.
