Col. L.. u. Latin, our fellow towns
man, ,ho is the assistant sergeant-at-
arms of the Iowa delegation, has GER
tainly been getting his reputation up
since he arrived few days ago. He
has had his picture in about every pa
per of consequence hereabout, and has
been interviewed until he had to
swim out from the sea of reporters.
The colonel dropped in my room as |
am writing this letter and was telling
me about how a man had to get away
from home to become famous. The
colonel is certainly a fine looking man
and makes IN imposing appearance
with his long, flowing white beard and
snow white hair. Il am for Sulzer,'
said the colonel, when i asked him
how he thought the vice-president-
ial cat would jump. "He is the great
est vote getter yet named, as he would
poll the entire German vote" The
colonel was little put out by an inter
view with him in the Kansas City
Times, in which he was dubbed "cap-
tain" 81 called up the young man
and told him our family never bred
anything less than colonels," he said.
Col Latin has attended every national
tCiloNIal1S tDllN SlltlOi IcI UilS idSU lOI-
ty Years and is well posted man in
politics.
Sergeant-at-arms Harry Evans, of the
Iowa delegation, has furnished the boys
with an extra fine badge for the con-
veItion. Hanging to two cross-bars,
on one of which is the word delegate
and on the other Iowa" is y round
medallion, in gold and silver. In the
center is the seal of Iowa in gold, and
around it Il ring OF silver with the
words iowa delegation" and the name
6 each man is plated in the badge he
viii wear.
The Iowa headquarters are in parlo,
d, Of the Baltimore hotel, and Col
Latin has decorated the room up in
fine shape with flags, bunting and q
picture of Bryan. Pennsylvania, New
York, Kansas, and a number of other
states have headquarters in this hotel
Charley Walsh is probably the bust
est man in the entire convention but
he is at all times good natured, never
losing his temper. Men stand in line
WAITING to get to see him, and he can
talk to half a dozen at once. He is
an especial favorite of the newspaper
men, and they all have good word for
him.
There seems to be more newspaper
reporters and artists on the ground to.
day than delegates. They are every
where. and especially at the headquar-
ters of the state delegations. Camera
fiends are also galore. 1t is a common
|sight to see some man standing up
in corner while on artist sketches
him or camera gets his profile. l un-
derstand 500 seats have been reserved
in the press gallery for visiting news
paper men, staff correspondents and
artists.
On the same train in which came in
this morning was Mayor David Rose,

silver plank. The fight promises to be
warm one, and will decide as to
whether or not the Iowa delegation
will support a free silver plank. it it is
offered. The caucus has not
yet been called, but will probably be
held Tuesday morning, after the arriv
al of ali the delegates. AS for Iowa
member of the national committee,
the prominence gained by "Our Char
ley" as secretary of the committee
makes every lowan feel proud, and
there will be no opposition to his being
renamed.
Steck or kirkpatrick for Congress.
I have it from number of delegates
that those from the Sixth district, in
GLIDING party leaders, delegates, and
all democrats, will caucus here during
the convention, PROBABLY on Tuesday
sometime. or perhaps tomorrow, as
to the probable nominee for congress
in the Sixth on the democrat ticket,
to run against Major Lacey. 1t is
well known in Ottumwa that if Senator
w. A. McIntire would accept the nom
nation, he could have it, and with a
whoop, but have il straight that Mr..
McIntire has positively refused to run
under any circumstances, the principal
reason being that he could not afford
it as it would ruin his business. In
this case, the two prominent names
mentioned now are A. C.. Stecl and
SAINT Kirkpatrick. Mr.. Steck, / guess,
is not very hot after it, but Mr.. Kirk
patrick is, and wants it bad. The eau
Gus will be held to feel the wishes Of
the leaders and if possible agree on
candidate.

The Monroe City Band has
petitioned the City Council to
place neat walks, seats and
lights in the North Park so
that during the coming season
there will be a nice, clean
breathing spot in the city for
those who will take advantage
of it. The Band has generous
ly offered to furnish music one
evening in the week. The pc.
tition has been signed by the
business men of the city and it
is almost an assured thing that
the Council will take favorable
action on the petition Friday
evening. The Band is a good
one and ought to be encouraged
and as they are willing to give
all lovers of music the pleasure
of hearing them once a week
their offer should be snapped
