Specialize Tines Republican.
Indianola, June 20.-The political sit
uation in Warren county is warming up
and it will be an out-and-out fight be-
tween the Cumniins men and the anti
faction. The ants have united on Con-
ser and they control the county organi-
zation. Chairman Pundfort, who is an
enthusiastic supporter of the Chinese
minister has arranged to have two sets
of delegates from each township and
ward printed on the primary ballot.
This can be done III this county thls
Year without Interfering in local poll
ties, as all the officials to be nominated
are gentlemen who have served but one
term and are candidates for renomina-
ton without opposition. The outside
townships Will give Cummlns major
ity. This is an undisputed fact. Then
II Mr.. Cummins can get an even break
ir the four wards of the city of Indiano-
II he can add sixteen delegates to his
large list already received. The fight In
the city is growing In interest and will
SO continue until the polls of the prima-
ry close on the evening of June 90. Cum
Minis men claim and will surely carry
the First ward. as there is but little OPP
position there The Second is conceded
TO Conger, altho it is the home of sena-
tor Berry. who is one of the strongest
Cunlmins men In the state The Third
and Fourth wards have ninetpn dele
gates in the county convention and 1t is
| possible that CumminS can carry the
Fourth ward. altho it is at present con-
sidered the fighting ground. The coun-
ty is divided almost on a line-the east
portion is strongly for Cummins. but the
west. bordering on Madison county. is
where the Conger fever has spread. The
result of the primary may be a great
surprise for the Iowa press which has
been claiming an easy victory for Con-
4 ger in Warren county.

AR1oN's DEPOT CASE.

Side of tho Complaint.

Special to Times Republican.
Arion. June 2O.-Editor Times Repub-
lican: wish to correct an item appear
ing in the Times Republicans Des
Moines correspondence dated June IS. in
which the correspondent UNCONVENTIONAL
~ does great injustice to the citizens Of
this town and larger number of OUT
siders who filed a petition before the
railway commissioners recently asking
for better depot accommodations on the
c., NJ. & st. p. railway at this place.
Your correspondent appears TO be in
Hearty sympathy with the railway in
that he seeks to make light of the petit
ton by reference only to the minor
features of the petition, a complete copy
Of which Is enclosed. The petition bears
the signature of tifty-three good citi-
zens. only about twelve of whom are
residents of Arion. The others are resi-
dents of Charter Oak and Denison and
travelling statesmen who fully realize the
necessities of the case.
Your correspondent Is correct in stat
ing that there are three depots in Arion,
il the insignificant ticket stand used by
the Milwaukee is worthy the designa-
ton. The Milwaukee, it must be remem-
bered, crosses the l. c. and C. & n. w.
at this places. AS a consequence that
depot has to accommodate the travel
from and to both of thes2- roads( thus
handling as many passengers as they
both do.
Your correspondent endeavors to cast
the insinuation upon Arion people in
SAYING that but few of the trains are
in the habit of stopping in the town"
thus leaving the impression that the
soreness Is due to that cause, whereas
| the people of Arion are better satisfied
with the present arrangement than that
which existed prior to the introduction
of the interlocking system. However
the matter may be viewed by your cor
respondent, the people Of Arion are not
worrying over the present outlook for
letter depot facilities, as the petition
was sent to Des Moines on Saturday
| last and on Monday afternoon the presi-
dent and superintendent of the road
we're here critically viewing the depot.
The petitions are all friendly to the
