WILL HAVE A CONVENTION.
The State Apparently Voted for Revi-
sion of the Consultation.

The state Apparently Voted Tor Kevi-
sion of the Consultation.
Des Moines, Nov. 9.-Without any
agitation en- the subject or any es-
pecial attention being given to it the
proposition to hold convention to
revise the constitution of the state
was undoubtedly adopted at the cleo
ton Tuesday. The proposition was
submitted in accordance with provi-
sion of the constitution requiring
such proposition to be submitted in
1870 and every ten years thereafter.
Heretofore il has been voted down.
The same outcome was expected this
year. Neither state officers, legisla-
tors or political managers took any
public interest in the proposition and
defeat for it was anticipated. The
explanation of success usually given
is that large proportion of the vot-
ers who voted for the proposition did
so supposing it was connected with
the Titus amendment providing for
biennial elections which was submit
ted on the same ballot and which
was adopted. Many, however, doubt
less voted for a constitutional con-
yention believing that changes in the
organic laws of the state are advis-
able.
The Titus amendment providing for
biennial elections was adopted. 1t
will become part of the constitu-
ton upon the issuance of a procla-
nation to that effect by the governor.
after the result of the vote has been
declared by ths state board of can
vassers.

a tremendous sea. The place where
the City of Monticello struck is at

turns from all the counties in the

have nearly 10000 votes.
Two propositions were submitted
to voters. One was: "Shall cora
vention be held to revise the consti-
tution?" This proposition was over
whelmingly defeated. The Other
was: "Shall the constitution be
amended to provide for biennial cleo
tions" Only a few returns have
been made of the vote east on this
proposition, usually known as the
Titus amendment. but those which
have been received indicate that the
amendment was adopted.

officers, have unlawfuly, fraudulent
ly and with the intention of iniuring
the business and property of the
plaintiffs, caused certain cards to be
printed and distributed in and upon
the streets of the city of Davenport,
in which cards these plaintiffs are
characterized as unfair Davenport
merchants That the defendant, De
Witt G. Main, as president of said
Retail Clerks union, caused to be
published al article in the Daven-

lished in the city of Davenport, on
or about October Is, 1000, in which
the plaintiffs were characterized as

THAT the defendants have, on two
occasions, caused its members and
associates unlawfully to congregate
in front of the plaintiffs place of
business for the purpose of passing
out the cards aforesaid and inter
fering with those wishing to ente
the plaintiffs place of business.
Plaintiffs are informed and have
reason to believe that the defendant
intends and contemplates, through
its officers, agents and hirelings, to
parade the streets of the city OF
Davenport, with banners improperly
bearing the names of the plaintiffs
in a manner which will be to their
injury and detriment."

every detail and moreover unani-

the policy SO far pursued should be
