Him.

Him.
& Waterloo, Aug. Ex-senator C.. w.
Mulan has forwarded to Governor Les
lie NJ. Shaw his, resignation az senator
from the Blackhawk -Grundy district.
The letter to the governor was for
warded at noon yesterday. 1t is briefly
as follows:
Waterloo, Iowa, Aug. "a, 1900. The
Honorable Leslie NJ. Shaw, Governor Of
IoWa-Sir: | hereby tender my resigna-
ton as senator from the Thirty-eighth
district of Iowa, to take effect on the
first day Of September, 1900,and ask that
the same be accepted by you. am
most respectfully your obedient servant,
c. w. MULLAN,
Senator Thirty-eighth District of
Iowa.
1t has been known for some time that
this action was contemplated by Sena-
tor Mullan. just after his nomination
at the republican state convention as the
party candidate for attorney general of
Iowa, Mr.. Mullan informed his friends
that he would give his resignation to
Governor Shaw in ample time for a con-
vention to be called and his successor
nominated and voted for at the regular
election in November.
AS to who will succeed Senator Mul.
Ian there has already been considerable
speculation, and two or three names
have been mentioned, but ii seems prob
able from what can be learned that the
choice Will fall upon o. B. Courtright
of Waterloo. Mr.. Courtright will GER
tainly receive the endorsement Of Black
hawk county, which. in itself is s.utti-
Gent to nominate, but 1t is also claimed
