ut is my prophecy that the Iowa
delegation will go uninstructed. I
concur with Congressman Wade in
his statement that it is not for Iowa
democrats to say whether it is Hearst
or whether it is somebody else. We
are in the minority here. Even when
every man is loyal,we don't make any

it is the duty of democrats in Iowa

NO TIME FOR HEARST.

In an interview published in the
Des Moines Register and Leader,
Thomas ]. Phillips, of Ottumwa, once
democratic nominee for governor of
Iowa, and even now one of the pow.
ers in democracy in the Sixth district
declares that Charlie" Walsh, secre-
tary of the democratic national COM
mittee, is on his political deathbed.
"Old line democrats of Ottumwa,
as well as the remainder Of the Sixth,
are gathering their forces to put
Walsh out of the arena for all time to
come" he says, "and at the same
time blast the hopes of Hearst in
Iowa
while the Straight democratic
organization of that part of the state
hopes to kill two birds with one stone
in the elimination of these two objec-
tionable features, and believes that
the death of one will inevitably result
in the passing of the other, the fight
is as much against Walsh as against
Hearst
while do not presume to speak
for the entire Sixth district" said Mr..
Phillips yesterday, sit is my firm be-
lief Hearst's strength there is scatter
ing. Democrats have no confidence
in him. They see nothing about him
that entities him to any claim as a
leader. He lacks the craftsmanship
and generalship that characterized
Bryan and about the only fellows
down our way who are climbing into
his bandwagon are the ones who get
paid before they get in.
Sand / want to say that in my opIn-
ion Hearst could have found much
better aggregation to push his candi-
dacy in Iowa. Nowhere in Iowa are
his managers representatives of the
democratic party. He opened up
headquarters in Ottumwa about as
soon as any other part of the state, l
believe, and aside from a. few stray
glers who are supposed to yell like

belonged, which ne has not SUCCESS
fully filed. More than thirty years
ago, he filed the station az Monte
yuma, during the period OF my resi-
dence there; and afterwards he was
also stationed for several years at
Oskaloosa. He was successful able
and conscientious minister OF the
Gospel. But Of his work in the min
istry, others are more competent to
speak than T.
He was chaplain of my regiment,
the 2Sth Iowa Infantry; and it was
in this capacity that l first became
fully acquainted with him, and learn
ed to love him. He went out with
the regiment and remained in the ser.
vice, faithfully performing the du-
ties Of his Office during the entire
three years service of the regiment.
Unlike many chaplains, he remained
with the boys to the end. Being in
tensely loyal to his country, he ex-
ercised remarkable influence over
the soldiers of his regiment and
never shirked from any Responsible
ties, no matter how dangerous the
service might be. He found time,
not only to perform the duties Of his
Office, but also to assist the comrades
in many other ways.
While he did not possess a collegi-
ate education, he was a good thinker,
strong, logical speaker, and at
times exceedingly eloquent. He had
the esteem of all of the members OF
his regiment, and when he left the
service, there was not a member OF
the regiment who did not consider
him a personal friend.
At the close of the war he returned
to the practice of his profession, but
he found time to write History of
the 2Sth Iowa Regiment. This his
tory is reliable and is accepted by the
members Of the regiment as a true
history of its three years service.
At the reunions of the regiment
held since the war, he was always a
conspicuous figure, and his talks at
the tcamp-fires were enjoyed as a feat
ure of those occasions.
He has never wavered in his sup
port of republican government, never
has turned from the straight paths
Of duty into by-paths to advocate
side issues, and has frowned upon ali
attempts to weaken the government,
or to break down the party of the
Union under which the war was pros
ecuted to a successful issue.
He was a faithful friend and an at
tractive companion, and in public
life, an able advocate, conservative,
and at all times ready to defend the
fundamental principles of the gov
eminent.
His death will cast a shadow in
many an humble cottage, the homes
OF his surviving comrades in arms.
A good man has fallen, and this trib.
ute to his memory is offered by one
of the humble soldiers of his old reg.
