A NEW CANDIDATE.
Mike Morrissey Wants to Be the
County's Sheriff.

County's Sheriff.
If the time for the democratic coun-
ty convention doesn't roll around be-
fore long more democrats will have to
be drafted in order to keep up the
gait at which candidates for the NOM
nation for sheriff are turning up.
There have already been seven men
announced. Jas. d. Gray, III. ]. Ost.
dick, Thomas Keefe, f.. P. Baer, Jno.
w. Scott, Fritz Rinehart and John
Heckart. The latest one, however, is
good-natured Mike I-orrissey, the desk
sergeant at the police station, who this
morning signified his willingness to
do the hero in little drama in which
the leading man offers himself as a
candidate Tor sheriff of Wapello coun-
ty.
Mike is good fellow, even though
a democrat. He has been a member
of the force for about five years and
previous to that time he was marshal
of the city for two years. There is one
good thing about him, his friends very
seldom see him angry or down hearted,
and the defeat that he will receive at
the hands of the republicans, even if
nominated, would last only about as
long as a summer shower.

CAPTURING THE CROWDS,

One of the notable personal triumphs
at the recent republican state conyen.
ton, was won by Congressman Smith,
OF the Ninth district. A less able and
adroit man would have gone down in
defeat, under the trying circumstances
which Mr. Smith was called upon to
face and which he turned into signal
personal victory. 1t was while the
convention was waiting for the report
of the committee on credentials. There
had been speeches by Senators Allison
and Dolliver and Congressman Lacey,
Hepburn and Cousins. Then there
was a call for Congressman Smith.
Just as he came upon the platform,
some members of the convention be.
lieving that the report of the commit.
tee was ready and was being delayed
by the speaking, began to call for the
report. The confusion soon reached
the point where Mr.. Smith could not
be heard at all and the chairman was
compelled to call upon the band for
music in order to quiet the noise in
the convention. Congressman Smith
retired for few moments until the
band had completed it's piece and the
chairman had been able to announce
to the convention that the report was
not yet ready. Mr.. Smith then came
back at the convention and immediate
ly captured them with the following
story:
He said it was Fort Dodge man
and, he believed, one of Senator Dolli-
ver's constituents who got tipsy and
going home ran into tree. He step
ped back and tried to pass it, but ran
into it again. Again he backed off
and started to go by, but for the third
time struck the tree. He stepped back
this time with an expression of horror
on his face, threw up his hands in de-
spair, and exclaimed: My God! Lost
in an impenetrable forest" Judge
Smith lillened the mans state of mind
to that of the democratic party, which
always finds the money question in
front of it.
After that it was easy sailing for

CEDAR RAPIDS AND THE coNvEN.
TION

The city of Cedar Rapids did her.
self proud in caring for the republican
state convention. 1t was the largest
convention in the history of the party
in Iowa. The number of visitors outside
of the delegates, was very large and
the difficulties confronting the local
committee, were numerous and heavy.
The committee of arrangements back
ed as they were by the loyal support
of the citizens of Cedar Rapids. did
magnificent work There was not a
delegate or a visitor but who felt that
he was welcome and there We're none
who were not able to secure desirable
accommodations at reasonable prices.
The only hitch in the arrangements
was in the facilities prepared for the
working newspaper men. Committees
not actively engaged in the daily news
paper work, do not understand the
amount of work done by the represent
atives of the daily press during the
progress of the convention. In order
to do this work, proper facilities must
be provided and this matter should be
given the careful attention of the re-
publican state committee with refer
ence to future conventions. AS an in
stance, the Courier alone had two men
hard at work on the floor of the con-
vention all day, who sent to this paper
by telegraph or telephone, over three
columns of special news. Be it said
that the Cedar Rapids committee, as
soon as they found their press facili-
ties were inadequate, did all in their
power to remedy the same. No one,
be he delegate, visitor or member of
press has any kick coming as to the
manner in which Cedar Rapids took
care Of the convention. In fact in our
opinion, Cedar Rapids is all right"

BRUTE FORCE IN POLITICS.

The part which brute force plays in
politics, was aptly illustrated in the
action of the republican state conven-
ton, Wednesday upon the matter of
the contested delegations from Carroll
and Jackson counties. In the submis.
sion of the minority and majority re-
ports of the committee on credentials,
to the convention, for determination
by the convention, there was no posi-
bility of the element of right or justice
entering into the same. 1t was purely
a question of brute force as to which
side had the most votes in the conven-
ton. Whereas in the Jackson county
case, those who are familiar with the
situation state that the matter might
possibly be considered a standoff as to
which delegation was entitled to be
represented in the convention; on the
other hand, in the Carroll county case,
no fair minded man could hear the
evidence brought before the commit
tee on credentials, and deciding the
matter upon its merits, reach the con-
clusion that the Cummins delegation
was entitled to any consideration
whatever. AS We have remarked in
another editorial it is exceedingly for
tunate that Mr.. Cummins was enabled
to show a clear majority of delegates
in the convention, without reference
to the contested delegations from Car
roll and Jackson counties.

One ot the prettiest and best natur-
ed fights of the convention was that
put up in the Sixth district by Hon.
Frank W. Simmons, Of this city, TO.
member of the committee on creden-
tials. 1t was sharp, clearcut and dis
tinct alignment of the delegates from
the sixth district into Cummins and
anti-Cummins forces. The canvas had
not proceeded far, until it was realiz-
ed by both sides that there was only
margin of a few votes either way
and then the diminishing began. The
Cummins people unsuccessfully en-
deavored to divide the vote of the
Wapello county delegation even by
naming Hon. F. M. Epperson, of Eddy
vile, for the credential committee in
opposition to Mr.. Simmons. AS the
result showed, the control of the COM
mittee on credentials of the state con-
vention, hinged upon the action Of the
sixth district in this matter The
nomination for the governorship would
have undoubtedly also hinged upon
the same question, had not the Cum
Minis forces been able to effect their
combination with the Herriott crowd.
Realizing the Importance of the action
of the sixth district caucus in this
matter, Frank Simmons and his
friends went into the fight to win,
which they did by majority of five
votes.

REPUBLICAN, DUTY.

Republican duty, says Hon. John Ma
hin, in the Muscatine Journal enjoins
each voter to remember that his party
is greater than any individual in it or
out of it, and that it's principles are
more important than the private or po-
litical fortunes of any leader. There
may be at times standard bearer of
the party not to the voters liking, but
he should vote the ticket of the party
because he has faith in the beneficent
influence of the rule of the party and
desires its continued predominance in
the land.
A political party can have influence
and power only by its members sink
ing individual differences and acting
as unit. The enemy may seek to
divide and conquer. This is a device
as old as Satan and should not prove
successful in this age of intelligence
and wisdom.
In this campaign just now begin
ming in Iowa all past differences in
the party should be put aside as far
as possible. Principles, not men,"
was the shibboleth of the democratic
party in its palmy days of power in
this country. 1t is motto well worthy
of adoption by the republicans Of
Iowa at this time. Whatever may
have been the derelictions of this or
that man in years that are gone, let
the emulation of each one now be to
show his loyalty to party. The delin-
quency OF some one else at some other
time may be q reason within party
lines for coming between him and his

The defeat of Hon. David Brant, edi
tor Of the Clinton Herald, for the nom
nation of the lieutenant governorship
will be generally regretted by the
newspaper men of the state. Mr..
Brant's abilities and qualifications are
unquestioned and up to noon yester.
day, he was recognized as the leading
candidate for lieutenant governor.
Politics is mighty unsartin," however,
and the combination between the Cum
Minis and Herriott forces brought
about at noon yesterday, not only Sc.
cured the nomination of Mr.. Cummins
for governor but made the nomination
of Mr.. Brant for lieutenant governor,
impossible.

HON. A. B. cUMMlNs FOR COVER
NOR.

Hon. A. B. Cummins of Des Moines
was nominated for governor Of the
state of Iowa by the republican party,
because he had the most votes in the
convention. We have never seen a
stronger fight made for, or a harder
fight made against candidate, than
that which eliminated in the nomina-
tion Of MI. Cummins at Cedar Radios
yesterday. The detection of Mr.. Her
riott and his practical withdrawal from
the governorship contest settled the
matter and after this was done there
was no possible chance that Mr.. Cum
Minis would be defeated. The action of
the Herriott forces was surprise, be-
ing taken in the face of the fact that
Mr.. Herriott and practically all his
personal followers had declared up to
the time the convention opened, that
he would accept nothing on the ticket
less than the nomination for the gov
ernorship. Results proved, however,
that Mr.. Herriott was willing to take
the lieutenant governorship and the
delivery of the last of the ninth dis
trict delegates for Mr.. Cummins be-
cause OF this fact, settled the matter
beyond recall. The first test vote in
the convention on the question Of seat
ing the Cummins' contested delega-
tons from the Carroll and Jackson
counties, developed the fact that Mr..
Cummins, without the votes of these
two counties, had strength number
ing 845 delegates in the convention.
This was "a more than was necessary
to secure the nomination for the gov
ernorship and was sufficient 1t indi-
Gated, however, how sharp the fight
had been and that the margin which
Mr.. Cummins had to go on, was very
small. In view of the result it is ex-
ceedingly fortunate that Mr.. Cummins
could show majority of the delegates
without the contested delegations from
Carroll and Jackson counties. Had.
ihis Sumuiilo lC4ullGu lie NOIGS OF
these delegations to be nominated the
result would have caused much ad.
verse feeling.
LAS it was, Mr.. Cummins had the del.
egates and fairly won the nomination.
and as the nominee of the largest and
one of the most enthusiastic republican
conventions ever held in the state. is
entitled to the hearty support of every
