The Iowa Campaign.


The Hon Jerry B. Sullivan. the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor OF Iowa,
has begun an active but hopeless cam
paign in the Hawkeye State A Free
Silver Democrat nominated on platform
which does not indorse the Kansas City
declaration, he is devoting his atten-
ton 10 a discussion of the tarin and
the financial questions. IN support OF
his position against protection Mr.. SUI
liyan is quoting quite literally from the
utterances OF his opponent. Governor
Cummins. on the subject Of revision OF
the duties. Governor Cummins, Of
course. holds 10 the views he has here
tofore expressed upon the tariff, not
withstaniing the fact that the Iowa
idea" is made less conspicuous in the
present Republican platform Of the State
than It was in the governors first cam
paign. It is therefore not likely that
Mr. Sullixan's advocacy OF . lower tariff
will gain him many votes Nor will his
attacks upon the Fowler currency bill,
which he enormously assumes Is the
Republican plan for a financial reform.
The fact is that the Republican party
in Congress has refused to adopt, and
only few have Endorsed. the pet scheme
OF the New Jersey banker.

STATEMENT BY BINDERS
WASHINGTON UNION EXPLAINS THE
w. A. MILLER CONTROVERSY.
They Say Miller Had Made Misrepre-
sentations and Otherwise Violated
the Canons of the Union.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.--The book
binders union of this city to-day gave out
an authorized statement regarding the con-
troversy with w. A. Miller, assistant fore
man of the bookbndery of the government
printing office, who recently was discharged
by Public Printer Palmer the ground
that he was nonunion man and afterward
reinstated on order of the President.
The bookbinders claim that when Miller
first entered the service he made misrep-
reservations to the effect that he had served
a full apprenticeship, which they claim he
had not done, and they repeat the charges
of marital irregularities. They explain at
length the grounds for Millers expulsion
from the union. which they say was due
to the fact that he made Misrepresentation
to Congress concerning the work done at
the government printing Office. with the
view to secure reduction of the pay of the
binders. On this point they say:
He was granted a fair and Impartial
trial by his peers. He giverf every
right and privilege accorded by the con-
stitution he had obligated himself to con-
form TO and support. During the progress
of the trial the evidence that he had lout-
rageously violated his obligations was so
denounced as unfit for membership in an
organization composed Of self-respecting
men, and they expelled him therefrom''
They also deny as untrue the claim made
by Miller that he has increased the output
of his division at reduced cost.
