scented the United States as consul at
Pretoria, and he gave brilliant promise
OF great usefulness as diplomatlst
Naturally his father was proud OF his
gifts and accomplishments ana mad
roseate hopes of his future career.
The shock which the death OF one SO
dearly loved and highly priced oeea-
stoned could not have been otherwise
than terrible, and it is no surprise to
read that the secretary was prostrat-
ed and is still in the hands of physi-
clans. His loss is severe. One parts

Would Boies Run Agan?-It is pos
sible that 1901 is to be 1891 over again
that is as to the principal actors.
In 1891 Horace Boies was the demo-
cratic candidate for governor. Judge
S. M. Weaver of Hardin county was
the republican candidate for Judge of
the supreme court That year A. B.
Cummins made speech in the Grand
opera house. Des Moines, in favor OF
the democratic candidate for the legis-
lature. and also for governor, logically,
or the desired legislation would be
vetoed Under such stern compulsion
he could reach no other conclusion
than that Horace Boies ought to be re-
elected. No one ever questioned the
logic of that conclusion. But at the
present time A. e. Cummins is prom
inent candidate for the republican
nomination for governor and Judge S.
M. Weaver who was defeated that
year. together with Hiram S. Wheeler,
is again a candidate for the nomina-
ton for judge of the supreme court.
And comes now the Waterloo Courier
and states that if the republicans nom
mate A. B. Cummins, the democrats
will nominate Horace Boies and then
there will be fight in Iowa. . = +" Can
it be possible that Cato Sells is back
of this scheme? For ourselves we do
not believe that Horace Boies would
be so ungrateful to the man who help
ed him in at least one of his critical
campaigns. Horace Boies is a pretty
cold proposition, but he is hardly as
cold as that. We believe that Mr.
Boies ought to come out and say that
he will not accept the democratic
nomination again.-Cedar Rapids Re

party in the county, and the meeting
was quite enthusiastic and entirely

and utterances. It's sentiments were
voiced by Chairman Pritchett when he
declared in effect that party loyalty
should be condition precedent tc
party honors and that the republican
party in Iowa needed neither to apollo
