| IDes Moines, Aug. 17.-In some por-
tions of the state, so ii is reported
they are still agitated about the
\ troubles which ensued from holding
a state convention which 10000 repub-
which seats only $500 persons. "
seems probable that in some places
these troubles will affect the election
For instance the news comes from
4 Montgomery county that the progress
sives are making capital out OF their
claim, (which is said to be we'll found
| ed. that the standpatters who got the
| delegation by questionable tactics,
gave all their visitors tickets to stand
| patters and left the progressives who
| came from that county without chance
| to get in the convention. There was
large number of progressives in Des
Moines but they could not get into the
| convention. The matter enters into
the legislative canvass In THE county
and may seriously affect the result
There are two republican candidates
for the Legislature.
From a number Of sources comes in
formation that the manner of distfibu-
ltion of the tickets at the late state
convention caused trouble. These tick
cts, it will be recalled, were distrib-
uted by a standpat state committee
and they had it all in their own hands.
1t is said that Secretary Shaw over
looked by the committee and some of
ing places in the convention. 1t has
also been asserted that the commit
tee provided Mr.. Perkins with tickets
only ito the gallery. This recalls the
fact that when the committee arrang-
ed for the convention which first NOM
mated Governor Cumrnins that gem
tlerian was mot provided with even
one ticket, but he made no complaint
about 1t.
The action Of the progressives from
Scott county who were given recog-
milton not only by the state commit
tee, but by the district caucus, was
conimendable. That delegation turn
ed over to the contesting standpat
delegation most of dts tickets for Wis.,
itors and the contrasting delegation
from Scott wherefore got into the con-
vention easily. Similar generous ac-
ton was taken by the delegations liz
several other counties of the state.
A*s
'It seems To me-" said Hon. c. G..
Mccarthy, formerly state auditor of
Iowa, ',that some of these fellows who
have been all along claiming that they
and they alone are the simon-pure re-
publicans and alone entitled to be re-
garded as regular are just now giving
us a very poor illustration of how to
be a, good republican. If the state con-
vention had nominated ticket every
man being one whom had opposed,
I should have turned in and Loyalty
supported that ticket. Even if the
convention had not been entirely to
my liking you would have found me
still a republican, still talking re-
publicanism, then as ever giving all
my influence to the success of the re-
publican party. And l have had it
thrown up to me that l, and others
who believe as l do. am not a good
republican. These critics have said
THAT they are the real thing in repub-
licism, men who are republicans every
year and all the time. Now l see
some OF these same men acting very
much like they regard themselves as
superior TO the republican party. If
they want to make reputation for be-
ing true blue republicans they had
best chance their tactics and demon
strate now that they are in fact re-
pubiicans. Men who are republicans
only when they have their own way
all the time are not the best republic
caIrts.'
G. Donald Mackenzie, six and
half foot Scotchman, accompanied by
five other iScotchmen of similar size,
dressed in kits and with bagpipe and
drum, will be one Of the leading at
fractions at the Iowa State Fair, that
will long live in the memory of every
person who attends the state fair.
People who have heard bagpipes of the
ordinary travelling kind have no con-
ception Of the kind Of music that
pipe, especially when there are four
Ddgp1poS OIL IHo 1ul SIOWA Size oSSoiAA
panied by two drummers.
These bagpipes will be at the fair
each day. On Monday just before the
races they will march up and down in
front of the amphitheater at the head
Of a procession Of Clydesdale horses
and Galloway cattle, the pride and pro-
duct Of Scotland. If there is a Scotch
man in Iowa misses it 1t will be some
one who is unpatriotic and cares moth
ing for the hearing the Highland
the Blue Bells Of Scotland, the Shaun
Trews and the Sword Dance. These
and other national airs will be played
at that time as they are seldom heard
played outside of Scotland itself.
A similar parade and identically the
same players were at the International
Show at Chicago last year and the
audience went wild whit delight over
tho innovation. The six Scotc men
VII are coming are workmen in the
shops a. Pullman, Illionis. They are
the genuine product of Scotland.
