kRETcHMER WINS VICTORY.
Gets Endorsement Of Dubuque County
Republicans in Convention.

Republicans in Convention.
Dubuque, April 26.-The republican
county convention yesterday afternoon
was signal victory for Fred N.
Kretchmer, candidate for state treas
urer. The Perkins men, called the
postoffice machine, which includes
Postmaster Joseph Morgan, the man
ager of the Daily Times and several
henchmen, endeavored to deny Kretch-
mer the right to select his own dele
gates. The fight at caucuses resulted
in the machines defeat. Blythe's men
were whipped out of the convention.
In the convention the republicans
demonstrated their high regard for
Kretchmer. Single handed he overcame
the machine with ease. Morgan is a
member of the congregational delega-
ton. Willard Torbett, one of the lead
ers Of the Kretchmer forces, said that
no candidate for governor sought to
succeed Senator Allison and the sem
ior senator's name should not be drag
ged into the fight here against Kretch-
mer's interest.

Guthrie Center, April 26.-Guthrie
county republicans in convention this
Afternoon instructed it's delegation to
vote for and do all in its power to
secure the denomination of Governor
Cummins. It is believed this will ef-
fectually dispose Of the candidacy OF
Lieut.. Gov. Herriott The action taken
was foreshadowed in the result of the
caucuses last Saturday, but the Her
riott people had pleaded for and
worked for at least complimentary
vote OIL the ground that the county
should support it's own candidate. The
majority, however, believed that in the
present situation principles and not
men should control the action of the
convention. The resolutions referring
to Cummins state:
'sThat we heartily endorse and COM
mend the administration of Governor
Cummins and especially his recon-
merldation favoring the enactment Of
q statewide primary law and abolition
OF the railroad pass system; that we
favor such primary system under
which the people can express their
choice by direct vote at the polls in the
nomination of candidates for state Of
Aces, including candidates for the
United States senate.
THAT we are opposed to the at
tempted domination by the railways
Of the politics of the state, being
confident that no reason exists
for railway candidates other than will
apply to any other special interests,
and we heartily endorse the position of
Governor Cummins in relation thereto
and his candidacy for the governor
shin. believing that his courage and
independence in vetoing legislation put
forth by railway managers at once
marked him as conspicuous object OF
corporation hostility as we'll as the
faithful friend of all of the people Of
Iowa. and that we instruct our dele
gates to the next state republican con-
vention to use all honorable means to
secure his denomination for governor"

San Francisco military secretary at
Washington: I'VE desire especially to
call the attention of the secretary of
war and chief of staff to the necessity
for additional troops Not only is the
present force inadequate to fully guard
the interests of the city, but they have
been necessarily overworl1ed in the

tances are simply enormous and con-
ditions demanding military action can
best be subserved by sending as large
force of mounted men as practicable.
The conduct of the troops, officers and
men, has maintained the high standing
OF the American army, and a contin-
