Iowa Democrats Do Not Know Where
They "Are At"
Des Moines, Oct. 10.-The demo-
Gratis of the state seem to be COM
pletely demoralized and it is believed
here that not half the democrats of
the state will go to the polls.
Seven counties of the state have
no democratic candidates for the leg
islature. No nomination papers were
filed from Adair, Butler, Guthrie, Har-
din, Mitchell, Sac and Story. The
democratic conventions nominated in
Adair, Butler, Guthrie, Hardin Mitch
ell Sac, and Story, but for
some reason the candidates or county
committees did not take sufficient in
terest in the matter to have the nomi-
nation papers filed and the names OF
the candidates cannot therefore go on
the official ballots. In some of the
other counties nominations were not
made at all.
The democrats do not expect tc
elect over fifteen members of the next
house. At their headquarters they
give out the following counties where
they expect to elect:
Fremont, representative.
Appanoose, representative.
Dubuque, senator and two represen
tatives.
Jackson, representative
Lee, two representatives.
Des Moines, two representatives.
Logan Monona- Crawford, senator.
Cass-Shelby, senator.
Scott, senator.
Muscatine. senator and two repre-
sentatives.
Plymouth, representative.
Jasper, senator and representative
Clinton, senator and one represen
tative.
Shelby, representative.
Davis, representative.

Manchester, Oct. 1.-THE opening
of the campaign in northeastern Iowa
yesterday was a grand success. Thou
sands came to hear Speaker Hender-
son, Senator Allison and Hon A. b.
Cummins discuss the issues Of the
campaign, and the warmth of welcome
given to each was no uncertain sound
of the sentiment in this part of the
state. Mr.. Cummoins spoke in the
afternoon, and Speaker Henderson and
Senator Allison in the evening. Mr..
Cummins paid beautiful tribute to
President McKinlty, and in emphasize
ing the national Importance of the
campaign, he eulogized Henderson,
Allison and Dolliver.
State Affairs.
In his speech Speaker Henderson
said in part:
I see that Mr.. Phillips, the nominee
for governor on the democratic ticket,
turns away boldly from national is
suse. I do not blame him. He drops
free silver as something that would
burn, Quite right, Mr.. Phillips. He
bows gracefully to the tariff issue, hat
in hand, and passes on. Yes, that
had better be let alone while millions
of voters are enjoying its blessings.
1.-The large standing army is allowed
to stand undisturbed. "The colonial
policy" is skipped and very suddenly.
No tears are being shed for "Agulnal-
do, the patriot" The PHILIPPINES and
Porto Rico are let entirely alone or
smiled upon, as it is observed that
our trade with both is running up into
many millions, giving a cash market
for our products and selling to us at
low. prices millions of those things
which we do not produce. No, not a
single criticism is made of republican
management of national affairs, but
our friends, with Mr.. Phillips at the
head, turn all their attention to state
issues.
This of all things is the strangest
What! you hope to carry Iowa, Mr.
Phillips. by attacking republican man
agement in Iowa. This proposition
has a dash of burlesque play in it
surely. If there is one state in the
Union in which the management OF
csaffairs needs no defense it is Iowa
With good, wholesome laws, with in
jtitutions of every kind demanded by
ulnms,fern civilization, built, paid for
r and without scandal, with surplu:
of a million dollars in the treasury
with a credit unsurpassed in any state
with a Working, contented and happ!
people, RI fear that our friends in OPP
nosition Nave chosen no hopeful
ground on which to press their claims
in this campaign. We're you to leave
Iowa which state would you go to fol
better laws and better conditions? L
our brethren will just answer that ont
question some progress may be made
in. the discussion. For one, l am glat
that the campaign is to be waged OF
this line for the issue is so simple
that every citizen in Iowa understand
it without one word of discussion.
