A list OF appointments nave oeen
arranged for Gov. Benton McMiIlin
beginning September "a at Dick
son. He will reach Trenton on
the 3Oth and speak at Union City
October 2. The Governor will
probably give us a sample of his
best genius and oratory, as this
campaign may mean something
more than the performance OF a
simple party duty. The new
seats over in the other end of
the National Capitol look mighty
attractive to your Uncle Benton.
The Republican party has been
treated to a lively sensation this
week by the action of David B.
Henderson, Speaker of the House
of Representatives, in declining
a denomination to Congress ny the
Republicans of Third Iowa Dis
trict. Mr.. Henderson has served
ten consecutive terms in Congress
with much distinction, and has
been twice chosen Speaker. He
had been recently renominated for
the eleventh term, and must have
felt very keenly the differences
which induced him to take this
step. In his explanation he says

and in our district, | am satisfied
that | am not in harmony with a
great many of the Republican
voters, who believe that free trade,
in whole or in part, will remedy
the trust evil. | believe that it
will not, but that such remedy is
likely to involve the nation in dan
gerous results, and SO believing |
feel that | should not accept the
nomination for Congress-.
