Convention Notes.

The convention was not as we'll at
tended as that at Cedar Rapids. The
hotel Hobbies We're not as we'll filled ana
there was not nearly the use for the
awning in Fourth street that there was
for a tent at Cedar Rapids. The lack of
interest was in the fact that the great
majority of those to go on the ticket
had no opposition. The greatest sur
prise to all was that Carroll should have
developed so much strength in the Sixth
district as to have disarmed all opposi-
ton But this made the work of the
convention easy.
Senators Allison and Dolliver and
Secretary Wilson We're here and met
many of their friends, but took no act
I've part in any of the preliminary pro-
ceedings. Major Lacey and Judge
Thomas We're quite active among the
delegates and so was Judge Smith. the
temporary chairman. The Ninth dis
trict fellows tried to draw Smith into
tkeir little fight out there, but he
wouldn't stand for it. He kept relig-
iously out of it.
The personality of Governor Cum
Minis has been of great influence in the
convention. He has not been mingling
with the delegates all the time but a
great many have consulted him and he
has been free in his advice. His friends
in Polk county regard the success of the
fght for Berry for member of the COM
nittee on resolutions in this district as
one made for Cumnins.
Quite q number of the federal office
holders are here The United States at
torneys and marshals are here, also the
new and old collector in the southern
district, and many of the postmasters.
