The Last Campaign.
(From the Clinton Advertiser.

(From the Clinton Advertiser.)
In many ways the last campaign was
the most peculiar in the history of the
state. After the nomination of Cum
minis at Cedar Rapids, the republicans
of the state were all broken up. There
was general dissatisfaction that the
party had so completely ignored state
issues, and it was thought that the dem
ocrats would take advantage of such
condition, and possibly elect governor.
The names of many good men were
considered, and 1t was understood that
with the right kind of q platform they
would accept the nomination. Demo-
Gratis everywhere were enthusiastic, and
it was generally thought that they
would "get together" and makea win
ming campaign. When the delegates
commenced to assemble at Des Moines
there was every evidence of friendli,
ness and unitedness of purpose. The
silver men desired to drop the money
question. The gold men insisted that
it should be done But how? There
came the rub, and over the technical
methods of RELOCATING the money ques
ton to the rear, which each desired
done, fight was precipitated In
the convention which tore the party
to pieces again. Party hopes were blast
ed, and in all portions of the state dem
ocrats lost all interest in the campaign
In many Of the counties the democrats
failed to nominate county ticket. The
result was as might have been expected
-arepublican landslide, brought about
largely by few would-be leaders who
insisted on having things done just
their way, and refusing to play if they
could not control things.
The effect of this was particularly
noticeable in Scott and Dubuque coun-
ties. Scott county, which two years.
ago elected portion of the democratic
ticket, did not come within five hun
dred of electing anybody, and the re-
publican majority in that county was
increased over Thousand over the vote
of two years ago. Dubuque county,
which during all the period has been re-
liably democratic, because of its great
democratic majority, elected nearly the
entire republican ticket, and gives but
bare majority on the state ticket. The
opportunity which was presented at Des
Moines was thrown away and instead
of unitedness of effort there was
panic all along the line, and when the
result is summed up, the wonder is that
the majorities were no greater. Outside
of q very few counties in the state the,
democrats were practically disorganized,

Callahan Acquitted for the Second Time
in the Abduction Case.
Omaha, Neb., Nov. 9.-The jury in
the case of James Callahan, after being
out thirty-six hours, brought in YER
dict at 10 p. m. yesterday finding the
defendant not guilty, and the prisoner
was discharged. This is the last echo
in the Cudahy kidnapping, and this is
practically the second time Callahan
has been acquitted of the kidnapping
charge.
1t was remarked after the verdict
was announced that there was now lit
tile to prevent Pat Grove from coming
to Omaha. The evidence on which
Callahan has been tried would prob
ably prevail in case of Grove being
tried on the same charges, and County
Attorney Shields gave 1t us his opinion
that Grove would now return.
