ffoln the democratic party In Iowa pro-
& misses to be as large this year as III
1896, when so many old time democrats
refused to follow the lead of Bryan.
great many OF those democrats who
ilave stood by the party on the silver
question have become Disguised with
the attitude assumed by the party at
ST. Louis and have decided to leave the
rarty, This is largely due to the fact
OF President Roosevelts courage and
absolute honesty in dealing with pub
Ii. questions and to the fact that the
party has not sidestepped on any OF
tlie great issues before the people. 1t
lis given out upon good authority that
at least 500 Wayne county democrats
will bolt the ticket.
Estimates made by Black Hawk
county democrats that from 500 to 500
iof the Bryan Hearst men there will not
vote for Parker, were printed yester-
day.

William Jamison was twice mayor of
Seymour, and now as well as being an
alderman is a local magistrate. He

Mr.. Jamison's letter Of reputation Of

than the mess fixed up for us at St

faction to ones self.
I'VE find the minor political parties
advocating some things which we could
readily endorse, and we have seen
things enacted which they advocated,
but such enactnents were only brought
about by the aid OF one Of the major
parties and in this respect they seem
at all times to be necessary, but they
cannot expect to become dominant in
the administration of affairs. II would
only please the reorganized crowd to
zee those leaving them go to one Of the
minor parties. as there the least harm
could be done.
After viewing the ground and con-
trasting the platforms. nominees and
organization Of the two dominant par
ties in particular, ! find in the republic

uelther OF them candidates for matri-

campaign.
7 can conclude but one thing is due,
md that to announce that l shall sup
port the republican ticket unaualifiedly
and without reservation. being per-
suaded that such action is entirely con-
sistent and in harmony with what I
believe to be for the best interests OF
the masses as against the classes.

rnocracy OF Iowa at Esopus, today.
when Judge Parker will be notified that
he has been nominated for president,
and will open his mouth for the first
time
g. r. Rinehart will not be at Esopus.
There will be no row at the door sill
Of the democratic candidate for the
presidency as to whether Wright or
Rinehart is rightly representing the de-
nocracy Of Iowa.
This was settled by correspondence
which passed between the two men.
Rinehart wrote first. asking Wright II
he expected to go to Esopus. Wright
replied that he certainly did Rinehart

he had no desire to precipitate a row.
The correspondence follows:
