NOW THE DEMOCRATS
Considerable Interest Being
Taken in the Waterloo Con-
yention Next Week
TO URGE WADE FOR GOVERNOR
Refusal of Wade to Run Likely to Re-
suit in Contest Between Dennison
and BalI-Weaver, Sullivan and
Sells Are Talked of For the Nomin-
,ial to Times Republican.

Special to imes-Republ1can.
Waterloo, Aug. 2.-The Iowa demo-
cratic convention, which will meet in
this city next Tuesday, gives promise
of being the most largely ATTENDED In
the history of the democracy in Iowa.
There is not a little confusion re-
garding candidates. There is strong
sentiment for the nomination Of Judge
Martin ]. Wade, Of Iowa City, for gov
ernor. Judge Wade has repeatedly
stated that he is not receptive can
didate, but great pressure is being ex-
erted upon him to forego his personal
desires for the benefit of the party
In the event that Judge Wade shall
decline to permit the use of his name,
it is probable his strength will go to
George Ball, of Iowa City. Mr.. Ball is
an eminent lawyer of the Johnson
county bar. > He represented Johnson
and Iowa counties in the state senate
three or four terms, and is a man OF
strong candidate because, having sup
ported Bryan in both campaigns, tho
personally opposed to his financial
views, he would be an ideal man upon
whom to united the party.
John Dennison, a young democrat,
now residing at Dubuque, but formerly
living in Wright county, is supported
by instructed delegates from Dubuque
and Wright counties. He is lawyer
by profession and stumper of ability.
Mr.. Dennison is earnestly supported
by Louis Murphy, editor of the Du-
buaue Telegraph He is in high favor
but is looked upon with disfavor by
the old line democrats who shouldered
their little axes in 1896 and moved over
into the republican camp on the finan-
cial issue. Dennison's candidacy is the
one fly in the ointment for the latter
He is looked upon as radical, and the
old-liners would much prefer a con-
sentative candidate.
Then there are Gen. j. B. Weaver,
Jerry Sullivan and Cato Sells, each of
whom is receiving more or less con-
spicuous mention.
There has been some talk of w. w.
Marsh of this city, being in the rum
ming for the nomination, but Mr..
Marsh states that he is not candidate
in any sense, and that he could not ac-
cept it if rendered him. He is content
to put his shoulder to the wheel and
lend his assistance in electing the tick
ct, but he desires no honors at the
hands of his party at this time.
George Hamilton, of Sigourney, Keo-
kuk county, will be the temporary
chairman. If his health will permit,
Ex-Gov. Horace Boies, of this city,
will probably be chosen to preside over
the permanent organization.
Basng Judgment upon pre-conven-
ton talk among leading democrats, it
may be said with reasonable certainty
that the democrats of Iowa will de-
clare for local option law in lieu of
the mulct law, and go upon record for
revision of the protective tariff
schedules as embodied in the .Dingley
law. They will declare for control of
the railroads in the matter Of freight
rates, and also demand the enactment
of a state wide primary law.

Fort McHenry.

From the Baltimore Sun
In the opinion of many persons who are
competent to judge. the proper use to
make of Fort McHenry is to maintain it
for army post as an inner defense Of
Baltimore. The War Department having
decided to abandon it, however. the next
best disposition of the fort is that which
has been made, namely, leased to the
state for the use of the militia and to hes
used also as public park for the citizens
of Baltimore. Its location is such that it
will be most welcome pleasure

park board will care for il. 1t is also
understood that public baths will be es-
tabliShed there A berth Will be prepared
for the Naval Reserve vessels. and "a more
appropriate situation for that purpose
could scarcely be found. AS public re-
sort its value is increased by the splendid
view down the river and of the harbor
and shipping of the port.
While our people regret the abandon-
ment of the historic fort for the uses TO
which it has been dedicated for a century.

miles; and when the first wonder Of 1t
| passes the question arises How have
| French railroads suddenly attained such
| sensational speeds over their curving and
\ otherwise inferior roadbeds?
American-Type Locomotives.
1t is credtable American story, because
] if in the last five years the French lines,
! first one, then another have broken all the
proudest English records it has been due
purely and simply to the adoption of Amer
| ican-type locomotives.
The tale dates back to July 1, 1899, when
only one French company could show a
platform to platform run at fifty miles
per hour. A few years previously a rail-
way congress happened to be sitting in
Paris when the east and west coast Eng
lish lines were racing to Aberdeen. The
thenD phenomenal speeds attained by the
Scotch flyers were eagerly discussed by the
French officials, who deplored that nothing
approaching them could be attempted on
their lines.
Within five years. nevertheless. the i'm
possible had come TO pass by way of COM
bined surprise and makeshift. Somewhere
around 1S99190O two of the French state
lines found themselves in the predicament
of being refused locomotives by all the
home business, they had refused to enlarge
their plants or to work overtime. They
told their customers to wait.
Now the French government is, after ALL
the Orleans railway. &c. before the Creu-
sots knew what was going to strike them.
both the state and the Orleans lines had
bought a number of high-speed American
built locomotives. A small row was raised
at the spectacle of a government discrimi
mating against it's own industries by spend
ing home money outside the Jurisdiction
In parliament the question was asked.
In the reply France learned incidentally
that the new locomotives were of the type
that draws the Atlantic City express at the
rate of nearly seventy miles per hour over
sixty-mile run. That such a squirt, how
ever, is done in America only on specially
prepared high-speed tracks and with
loading gauge that permits the of heavy
rolling stock was detail not overmuch
dwelt on.
A Big Catastrophe.
One of the first results was catastrophe
that permanently sickened two French
lines-the Orleans and the Midi-of ex-
cessive veocitles Within year after the
adoption of American-type locomotives the
Sud express, between Bayonne and OAK
"a thirty-one-m spurp was averaging
fifty-seven miles per hour and the sixty
seven miles Observation-Disclosures break was
negotiated at no less than siXty-three miles
per hour,
1t between Bayonne and OAK that
the historic accident occurred. The Sud
express simply dashed off one of the road s
abrupt curves at tangent. No salts
factory explanation has ever been assigned
but l have heard that the roadbed had
been undermined by water from spring
that suddenly trckled through the rocks
at one side At any rate the Sud express
does does Pars-Bayonne at an inclusive
average of fifty miles per hour.
That the other French companies lost
time in profiting by the example to i'm
prove their ballasting and substituting
heavier rails is certain; but even on the
most famous trunk-line stretches there re-
