[Sioux City Tribune.1
1t is now accepted that the Linn coun-
ty result leaves the machine in AN un-
comfortable position. Hartman was
brought out first as a machine candi-
date for governor, and was expected to
be the favorite of the railroads at the
final test of strength. But considerable
Cummns sentiment developed in his
district early, and I'rewin was pushed
out to help hold northeast Iowa. Then
IL became evident that the whole situa-
ton was bad. Perkins was failing TO
hold down the northwest, and Conger
was rushed into the field. This resulted
in Perkins withdrawal and Hartman
and Trewin both felt that they we're be-
ing treated badly. T'rewin. 1t is reported,
served notice in expressive terms that
| ne wouldn't be made a monkey of . and
Wien Conger's boom was fattened out
Trewin had TO be taken up To keep him
good natured. This however, makes
Hartman disgruntled. He finds his
Third district, bounded on the north by
the Trewin Fourth, and on the south by
the Hubbard Fifth, which is to be de-
lvered To Trewin so far as possible; IN
the Third Cummins is really the choice
Of the majority, and Hartman seems to
have a mighty poor chance of getting
anything but the worst of 1t. There are
many who believe the machine VIII end
supporting John Hcrriott. and trying to
deliver the Trswin, Thurman and Con-
ger strength TO him. But there Will be
little of the Third To deliver. for it will
go to Cummins; the Fourth will not b.
in much better condition. 1t seems that
the railroad machine is truly in bad
situation.
THE REGISTERS MENDACITY.
lGiuthrie Guthrian.l
The wild ranting and inconsistent po-
sition now occupied by the ever truth
fuF' and formerly digniiied State Regis
Ter is not only a surprise Ia its friends,
but raises the suspicion thatit motives
in the present gubernatoiial contest are
controlled by means that ii has hereto
fore condemned. LII the past 1t has
claimed To be just and fam in the dis
cussion of the merits and policies GOV
8ernng them it has deprecated dlvislve
strife and hurled condemnation and de-
ANNEXATION at a contemporary that d.l
rot come up TO its former high plane of
discussion. But as a sample of its po-
sition now we wish to call our readers
attention to the manner IN which our
Uncle Richard has lately fallen from his
former high estate. The Register says:
The dignity and fairness of the C;utt-
RE county republican resolution should
be emulated by all other conventions. Z
In relation to the Pawesniek county con.
yention, it starts out with the following
scare head: Machine Methods Gontln-
We Poweshiek county republicans send
delegation instructed for Cummins.-
Machine methods continued and cut and
dried program raiiroaded thru
IL Will be noticed that the convention
that instructed far MIR. Aerriott did it in
a spontaneous and dignliied manner.
While the convention that instructed for
Mr. Cummns WAS ''rai,roaded thru by
machine methods. Why the State Reg
iste. desires 10 place itself in this posi-
ton of mendacity for the purpose of
position of Poweshiek county is pas, our
comprehension and certainly does the
republicans Of that county an injustice.
From the Register We are to infer that
the resolution pissed by the republican
convention Of Guthrie county was thu
result Of a general uprising OF the people
who set the machine aside in a digniiied
and orderly manner and proceeded 10
perform the business for which the con
Sention was called AS a majority of
the Delegates To the convention here are
readers of the Guthrian. we leave i'll to
them to determine how near correct the
inference OF the Register is to the fact
