party In Iowa. This will be demon
the coming week at Iowa City
in q way to no longer leave 1t in doubt
or open to question. An illustration of
what is going on was given at the
county convention In this
city two days ago. The attendance
was larger than for a number of years,
tho lamentably small from a demo-
cratic standpoint. But 1t was attended
by number of the old-line democrats
who have been studiously avoiding
for number Of years. In
the list of delegates to the state con-
vention are such names as those of
Horace Rebok, who was Clevelands 8
Indian agent at Tama; D. NJ. Bringolf,
once sheriff of Polk county before dem-
ocrats went wild on silver: Henry
Reigelman. staunch democrat and

who has been fighting Bryan all the
time; S. r. Davis, a veteran democratic
man, and others of that
kind. These are democrats Of the old
school. The entire convention was
dominated by those who few years
ago would have been driven out of the
room as republicans in disguise. There
were no radical speeches. Even G. o.

Col. Joseph Eiboeck. the veteran ed

An interesting situation is promised
at the democratic congressional con-
this afternoon in this city. The
democratic plan is to nominate John

as knowns is willing to make the race.

of making a lively race. He is very
popular with the laboring men of the
city, and 1t is claimed for him that ne
