Scott County Situation.
| Davenport, June 11.-(special.)--
The situation in Scott county is rather
a complex one. It has been the pride
of Scott county republicans to act In
harmony with the balance of the dis
trict for years. Mr. Perkins having
secured large number Of the dele
gates from this district which gives
him gain of ssixty-nine delegates
over Governor Cummins as compared
with the last gubernatorial contest.
The candidacy of w. G. Hayward
for secretary of state is one of the To-
cal features. Mr.. Perkins stock has
received boom from the laboring
men here since very cordial endorse
ment that he has received from the
president and secretary Of a Typo.
graphical union, who say that he has
been just and generous employer Of
union labor for twenty-six years, and
has been an honorary member of the
Sioux City Typographical union for a
great many years. Their circular here
today states:
eve most heartily commend his
candidacy to the people of Iowa, and
hereby pledge ourselves to endeavor to
bring about his nomination and cleo
ton to the Office of governor. We as
sert that there is no man in Iowa bet
ter qualified to discharge the duties of
that exalted office; that he is man
Of rare genius for executive affairs, of
lofty purposes and deepest patriotism;
that he is absolutely unswervable
from the path of justice as he sees it
lin the pursuit Of noble and generous
aims; that he has dignified every po-
sotion occupied and every duty, under
taken by him in the various walks Of
life as a public, official, citizen, editor
and employer that should he be ac-
corded the privilege of serving the peo-
pie of Iowa in that high Office, his ad-
ministration of the affairs of the Of
flee of governor would be such as
would entitle his name to rank along
side and equal that of his most illus
trious predecessors"
The reports so far in the second
congressional district have been very
depressing to Mr.. Cumnins' supper
tiers. AS compared with his last gu
bernatorial contest he has lost sixty
one in this congressional district:
Clinton, 4; IOWA, 10; Jackson, Z;
Muscatine, 81; Johnson, 16.
These losses give the standpatters
a majority of the delegates in the Sec
ond district, control of the permanent
organization Of the state convention,
likewise the state central committee,
committee on credentials, and all or
