gresham Bowman, not forgetting his
friend, on the 4th of March, 1893, aided
by the five other Iowa democratic con-
gressmen and Hon. John P. Irish, Sc
cured from President Cleveland the ap-
pointment Of Col. j. S. Tam as United
States consul to Genoa, Italy, but on
account of private affairs he declined
the appointment with thanks.
Col. Tam is fine campaigner,
strong and able in debate, invincible
in political conflict, never flags when
duty calls, and has ability enough to
make an Iowa democratic governor Of
the first class.

ANOTHER CANDIDATE.
Democrats Pushing Colonel Tam for
Governor of Iowa.

Des Moines, June 1.-THE Polk
County Democrat in its issue of this
week, which left the press last night,
presents the name of Colonel j. S.
Tam, of Des Moines, as candidate
for governor of Iowa on the democrat
ic ticket. The Democrat some time
ago made mention of Colonel Tam's
name in connection with the position
of state senator from this district, but
learned soon after the use of his name
that there was we'll matured plan on
foot to make him candidate for gov
ernor. The Democrat is willing to
concede to him the greater honor and
therefore publishes today Colonel
Tam's picture and a column write-up
of his history.
He is f1fty-nine years of age and has
been a resident of Iowa for more than
a uurter of a century, removing to Ad
ans county in 1875. Shortly after his
removal to Iowa he was recognized
by the democratic party and offered
the nomination for lieutenant COVER
nor, which he declined. He canvassed
southern Iowa in 1880 for Hancock,
and in 1882 and 1883 he served as a
member of the state democratic CEN
trail committee from the eighth district.
In 1884 he was member of the execu-
tive committee for Iowa, having been
appointed by the democratic national
committee.
He was a candidate for state senator
! from the Guthrie district in 1887, but
was defeated by 500 votes by DR.. Col
well. The Democrat in closing the
sketch has the following to say of
/ Colonel Tam:
The colonel's name would have
{ been presented for governor to the
/ Sioux City convention in 1899, had he
4 permitted, but he maintained that Hor-
/ ace Boies was the logical candidate,
and advised the party to place him in
nomination, which it did. The next
/ year w H. M. Pussy, Thomas Bow
man, Colonel Tam and Judge Willard
We're brought out as prospective con
\ gressional candidates. The colonies
| chances to win were thought to be the
best, but he magnanimously champion
ed the cause of his friend, Thomas
Bowman, and materially aided in Sc
curing his nomination and election ov
er Judge Reed, the then incumbent
and one of the ablest jurors in the
state, and Notwithstanding the norma
republican majority in the district was
more than $500, yet Bowman won ou
by 1850.
in the spring of 1892 Col. Tam visit
ed all of the southern states excepting
North and South Carolina, in the in
terest of Governor Boies for president
and worked up a good vote for him il

SUICIDE OF AN UNKNOWN.
Was Confined in the County Jail at
Cresco.

Cresco, June 7-An unknown man
confined in the county jail here pend
ing an examination b ythe commits
sioner of insanity, committed suicide
by hanging. He was brought here
from Elma Sunday, refused to give
any information as to himself, his rel
atives or friends, if he had any, and the
officers so far have been unable to find
anything which promises any discov-
cries along this line. He was of an
ugly, sullen disposition, and the sui
eide was evidently premeditated. He
tied one end of the bed blanket around
his neck, then bent his knees letting
his weight fall upon the blanket, and
was found hanging in this position in
the morning. An inquest was held ov-
er the body.

[From Fridays Daily.l
The Ottumwa Maccabees returned
from Marshalltown early this morning
after having captured every prize that
was offered at the state picnic, which
was held in that city yesterday. This
speaks volumes for the Ottumwa
members, and shows they have a
strong and hustling organization. The
Uniform Rank made very creditable
showing, and after it had gone
through all it's maneuvers, none of the
other companies present had any in
clination to try against it for the prize.
1t was the same way with the Wapello
Chief band which accompanied the OF
tumwa Maccabbees. -Four or five bands
were present to compete for the-prize,
but after they heard the. Wapello Chief
band play once, they all concluded it
was no use to try to beat them. After
all the work, had been. concluded, the
Wapello Chief band and the Ottumwa
Uniform Rank, under command of
Captain Stoessel, gave, an, exhibition
guard mount and dress parade that
captured the whole crowd. The prizes
which were contested for are as fol
lows:
For best drilled Uniform Rank com.
pany, $40.
For the largest attendance from
any one city, SIS.
For the best band, $40.
Ottumwa turned out nearly three
hundred persons, including the band
and the Ottumwa crowd was in evi
dence at all times. They all report
good treatment, and had very enjoy
able day.
