IOWA PRESS COMMENT,
The Clinton Herald thinks that the
silence Of Grover Cleveland indicates
that he is looking for q fence with
strong top rail-
ut was Mr.. Williams of Mississippi
who first objected to appropriating
that $4,000 for tfe President. The
country can well believe now that Mr.
Williams has no residential aspira-
tions," says the Iowa City Republican
The united professional masters of
dancing have tabooed hugging in the
waltz and the Sioux City Journal says
the decision will be greeted with the
most sincere satisfaction-by those
who do not waltz"
This talk about a bolt and split In
the republican party is all nonsense"
says the Britt News. There is not
one of the three candidates for COVER
nor but what ought and will receive
the full support of the party, provid-
ing he is nominated by square DEAL"
The Council Bluffs Nonpareil says
that when you see man who is I'M
usually busy nowadays he is either
getting ready to go on a vacation or
is just returning from one.
What this country needs is more
real reformers and fewer agitators,"

O
The Creston Advertiser says that the
tangle in the republican party is pleas
ing only to democrats and assistant
democrats.
The Cedar Falls Record says that
the state convention on August / will
afford the republican party great
opportunity to be both brave and gem
erous. "The party is Of more conse-
quence than the ambitions of any one
man or any set of men," asserts the
Record.
-Four months of campaigning before
nominations and three months more
following" remarks the Coon Rapids
Enterprise and then the legislature
and still four months more of politics
a perpetual political performance. But
the country has to be saved
ut Is evident that the time has fully
come for sane republicans to assert
themselves" says the Marion Register,
referring to the contested counties.
"a continuance of the methods of these
counties means rough house. in the
state convention. We do not believe
that 1t will be permitted. We believe
that wiser counsels will prevail and
that factionalsim in Iowa will be bur-
led deeper than plummet ever sound
ed"
Tho Coc Hif1y hot
ernor will not withdraw. IF he is fair
ly defeated" the Sun continues, This
supporters will yield to the will Of the
majority Of the republicans of the
state. Otherwise they will insist that
he be the candidate Of the republicans
Of Iowa for governor"
The Davenport Times suggests that
it will be well for those who expect to
go to Des Moines as delegates to the
republican state convention to study
the history of party convention pro-
cedure so as to be able to insist that
everything that is done is fair and
regular.
'Inasmuch as Kansas never fails to
be short of harvest hands, 1t is a won

lily journal.
I'm the kingdom Of Iowa, King Corn
Is getting ready for coronation spec
tacle that will outshine any similar
event that can be held anywhere on
earth" observes the Council Bluffs
Nonpareil.
The secret is out at last" says the
Muscatine Journal. These contested
delegations to the state convention are
directly traceable to the Des Moines
hotel keepers. The more delegates the
better for them They will each one
cheerfully cough lup $500 per for a cot
in the hall, whether they are contested
or regular"
The Waterloo Courier, pro-cum-
minis, says that the corporations are
powerful in the democratic party in
Iowa as well as in the republican par,
