IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

"All talk about greatly diminished
majority in Iowa this year is nonsense, "
says the DEBORAH Republican.
The Charles City 1ntelligencer says
the late convention clearly demonstrat-
ed that the "off year" in politics is the
time of house cleaning.
Rapids convention clearly developed the
fact tina, 1,641 delegates are too many
to be sent to a state convention. Half
the delegates" the Courier asserts.
would have accomplished the work of
the convention in much less time, and
would have represented the whole state
Just as fully as did the 1,641. Reduce the
representation"
AS before the convention, so since. the
Sioux City Journal does not like the par
ticipation of the Des Moines Leader in
republican discussion, does not approve
its criticisms of the acts of the conven-
ton, and objects to its statement that
"the platform was certainly an anti-cli-
max to the Cummins- Herriott cam
paign." 1t does not believe its state
ment that Mr.. Cummins tried to inf1u-
ence the framing Of the platform. The
Journal declares that 'the platform
adopted at Cedar Rapids is proof that
the party has no apologies to make for
it's past and no revolution to propose for
the future" and it adds as one of Its
conclusions: "Mr. Cummins can not re-
pudiate the platform upon which he was
nominated and upon which he accepted
the nomination, nor is it to be presumed
that he has desire in that direction; and
therefore he can do nothing less, at the
proper time, and in such gentility OF
speech as he may frame. than repudiate
the Leader"
In speaking of the annual report OF
the Iowa state treasurer the Davenport
Times declares the golden day of re-
publican administration is shown in the
balance of cash in and due the treas.
try on June 80 as being $685., ss1.7s
without dollar of indebtedness"
AS the Keokuk Gate City looks at it
surely republicans can not consistent
ly object to Nj. cummins onthe grount
5of party disloyalty and at the same time
be disloyal themselvesl Objections or

entire ticket to the state house with the
greatest republican majority ever
known in the annals OF the states
history, No matter IL the man of your
choice was not nominated, stand by the
peoples choice, throw personal preju-
dice to the winds. and this fall make an
other overwhelming victory for the
grand old republican party.
lSheldon NALL
The nominee for governor A. B. Cum
minis, won notable personal triumph.
He is man of splendid abilities and of
high character. No man ever had or
could wish to have more devoted and
appreciative friends than have for years
been eager and determined to honor
him. - The honors sought have been
bestowed. The ticket selected is one of
exceptional merit and strength. The
platform is as good as the ticket. The
ratification of both is assured beyond
question. and the people look forward to
an era of cleaner politics and better SER
vice than has been had under the old
regime which the new has effectually
overthrown.
WEBSTER City Freeman-Tribunel
Many of the men and newspap ers who
opposed Mr.. Cummins before. the meet
ing of the Cedar Rapids convention are
now busy constructing "Cummins ma
chine" Now that all hands are united
.ly supporting the ticket, wouldn't it be
the part of good comradeship for the
boys who used to run wild de OIL ma

pointers as to how to avoid wrecks
and breakers in the future. Anything

list the cooperation of all republicans,
now that the party is on trial before the
people of the state. They should not
forget that all republicans look alike

RESTRICTING THE TRAIN HOG.

The train hog" who rushes into q
car, selects the best seat and piles his
grip on space that might be occu-
pied by another, is to meet merited
rebuke on one railroad, and the public
will applaud it. General Superintend-
ent Goodnow, of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & ST. Paul. has issued an order
directed to train crews and conductors
calling their attention to the train rules
on that point and insisting that they
be vigorously observed. Particular at
tention is called to the rule which pro-
vides that passengers shall not be per-
mitted to occupy more seats than they
they pay for. Conductors are told that
this rule must be strictly construed and
obeyed to the letter, especially when
approaching large cities and in places
where passenger traffic is heavy.
The superintendent attention was
called to the matter by series of writ
ten complaints which have been made
to the management within the last few
weeks. Many of these come from pas
sengers on the Milwaukee runs. and are
to the effect that they have been I'M
able to obtain seats owing to the fact
that some hog" was in painful and
obtrusiye evidence. Some of the com
plainants were women, who stated that
they had been compelled to stand up in
the car while some man with many
grips occupied double seat.
It Is . dimcult and delicate task to
remedy this evil, and railway officials
experience considerable difficulty in
dealing with the question and nothing

TIE CONVENTION AND TICKET.

y. LKeokuk County News.]
Mr.. Cummins looks every inch "a
statesman. He is every inch states
man and an orator. The people may
we'll feel proud to support such man
for governor of the proud state of
Iowa.
GMaquoketa Execelsior.l
Now that A. B. Cummins has been
nominated for governor and the regu-
lar selected delegation from Jackson
county seated in the convention, the To-
cal situation Is considerably clarified.
The Excelsior has always taken the
view that while the "antis" undoubtedly
had some grievances, yet there was alb
solutely no excuse for bolt and the
trump" delegation could have no
rightful standing in the conven-
ton. This view of the situation is fully
borne out by the fact that in the meet
ing of the credential committee, all the
members were agreed that from the ev-
idence, 1t appeared that the regular del
egation from Jackson was the properly
chosen one. The SIX -Cummins
members of the committee offered to
make the report unanimous IL the five
Cummins members would agree to seat
the anti-Cummins delegation from Car
roll This offer was declined, however,
and the fight won on the floor. The In
ternecine strife now being over and the
dispute settled In the court of last re-
sort, the republicans OF Jackson county
should lay aside all factional differences
and oppose united front to the demo-
Gratis this fall. This Will without ques-
ton be done. for we all realize the ex-
IRENE Importance of republican supreme
facy in the county. Let's smoke the
peace-pipe boys for we are all brothers.

OMITTED BUT STILL GUARANTEED.

when an tne lis unat might NAVE
changed the result at Cedar Rapids
have been fully enumerated and ex-
planned by the anti press the conclu-
sion Will probably be reached that the
party will enter the campaign this fall
With very strong ticket and d very
good platform as We'll. The ants have
derived few morsels of consolation
from the fact that no radical state
ment upon railway taxation was put
into the platform as they believed was
desired by certain Cummins newspa-
pers. The fact of the matter is the plat
form was written by man who owed
obligation to the old machine for very
god JOB and was presented by COM
mittee controlled by the same old ma
chine. The tenor Of the resolution COM
mittee's report was determined and de-
cided when the fight for members was
made in the district caucuses. 1t is true
that the Cummins- Herriott men We're in
complete control of the convention and
could have presented a plank from the
floor which would have been adopted,
but the Cummins- Herriott men them
selves We're not of one mind as to lust
what they wanted said on the subject.
Many counties had resolved in as man,
different ways, some radical and some
conservative. still others had not re-
solved thinking that the nomination
and election of men free from the. con-
troll of railway bosses and honest
enough to make an assessment without
fear or favoritism, was all that was
needed. Furthermore the fight was so
close that the convention had about all
it could do to attend to the selection of
the men without risking a test on a
mere platform declaration.
The T.-R. is satisfied with the plat
form as it stands for the reason that
the men nominated are platforms in
themselves. Mr.. Cummins is courag-
eous statesman. He can be depended
upon to vote with Messrs. Gilbertson
III I'll lOI dl assessment tndC is no
forced compromise but fair to all roads
according to their wealth and worth
Mr.. Herriott as acknowledgements will
be in position to influence legislation
and assist his frie,. is in the legislature
with valuable advice and if legislation
is needed we would rather trust John
Herriott with it than most other men
for railroad officials have told US that
John Herriott, when on the executive
council, was the only member that knew
anything about the subject. In view of
the wide variance of opinoin upon the
subject 1t is probably we'll that no spe-
cific declaration was made in the plat
form, where SO often portentious
phrases abound with no action follow
ing. The very names of Cummins and
Herriott guarantee a new regime of
fair assessments and scientific legisla-
tion if any legislation is needed.
