shalltown and Marshall county that the!
action Of the Kansas City convention Is
the most encouraging thing that could
have happened to 1.-THE republican party
of the country. When 1t is taken into
consideration that local republicans
have a faculty OF graspng political
situation, the opinions are significant.
After Bryan and 16 to won out in.
the convention 1t made little difference,
in the minds Of the opposition, who was
given second place. One prominent
gold democrat sized up the situation in
expressive language when he said, in
discussing the nominee for second
place: 1T makes no difference whether
a man from the east, the west or hell is
chosen, the party is going to hell any
way. OF course he meant that would
be the political destination OF the lat
|ter-day democracy. Locally Towne was
looked upon as nonentity. Stevenson
as democratic load, with Hill as the
strongest man the opposition could
4 nominate.
Chairman Charles Henry and Score
| tary 4. F. Bradford. OF the democratic
icounty central committee, with b. F.
4 Smith and F. NJ. Hooven, arrived at
i home from Kansas City this morning.
having departed from the convention
city as soon as Bryan's nomination was
4 made Mr.. Hoover attended the silver
republican sideshow. Others from this
4 county in attendance at the convention
were L. o. Farber and wife. DR.. White
and j A. Bryant OF ST. anthony; w.
4 O. Robinson, D. r. Stallings and w. II.
4 Calhoun, the latter being a, delegate to
the8populist convention. Perry Wood
1 ruff was also In attendance, but went
especially to visit relatives.
Chairman Henry says the gathering
1 was a model convention, and was
handled better than the Chicago con-
Iivention OF four years ago. He says fur-
.|'ther5 that on the surface harmony
4 Seemed to prevail. altho there was, OF
course, a lively tilt in the resolutions
committee. Hot was no name for the
condition of the weather, and the east
ern and northern delegates We're COM
!. PEELED to change their shirts three
i times daily. The western and southern
\ delegates were not SO particular cen
corning their linen.
i Mr.. Bradford says Kansas City took
no better care of the national gathering
4 than Marshalltown did of the two state
i democratic conventions which met here
within the past few years.
Mr.. Bradford said q perusal Of the
Il platform adopted would show that 16
i to 1 had been subordinated, and that
1.-The paramount issues OF the campaign
would be Imperialism and the trusts
a FEW REPUBLICAN, VIEWS.
4 Not one republican has been heard to
express anything but satisfaction over
4 the result OF the conventions and some
of the opinions heard expressed on the
4 streets and elsewhere are here given:
4 j. G. Brown-Bryan has shown him-
4 self to be the biggest political boss In
1.-THE whole country.
II. w. Whinery-The 16 to platform
4 will mean the loss to the democrats OF
4 Atty votes in Marshall county alone.
DR.. C. w. Payne-Bryan does not ex-
pect to win, but hopes to play into the
4 flavor Of the populistic element of Me-
4 sbraska and be the next senator from
Il 3that state.
b. F. Foreman-It Is the best thing
i for the republicans that could have
1 happened
i b. g. Cochran-The democrats are
/ evidently trying to do the best they can
for the republicans.
i 81. S. Millard-Bryan will receive "a
\ smaller vote than he did four years
ago.
C. C. st. Clair. secretary republican
county central committee am glad
to see them put a l6 to plank in their
platform. l think this year, this ques-
4 ton will be Killed and settled for all
4 time to come. The money question has
no place in politics. in my opinion.
II b. F. Nichol, OF Vienna-As a repub-
Ilican I think the outcome of the con-
vention a good thing. Bryan does not
A hope to be elected.
4 J.. H. WalkZr, OF Timber Creek-Bry-
4 an shows he is as much Of populist
as he is q democrat
i George r. Estabrook. chairman re-
publican county central committee
My only fear has been that they would
not get 16 to 1 plank in their platform
lin other words that Bryan might be
overruled The opposition can not now
accuse us OF one-man power or boss
ISlsm, as the glass house and stone
Throwing adage still holds good. They
can harp on the dead issue OF 16 to !
all they are mind to, and as for im-
4 perialism and trusts we need not fear
that they will figure much.
