Des Moines, March 1.-THE stand
pats Increased their lead in the re-
publican state convention as the re-
sult of county conventions held today,
.nnd will control the Third district con-
sention.
The control Of the Third has been
In doubt until today, and hinged on the
Qcti9n Of the Buchanan county con-
zen lion, held at Independence. The
standpatters We're in control, which
wes rather expected, and selected
ewelve delegates to the state and dis
: trict conventions. The control of the
Fourth district was in doubt, and de-
pended or the results in Winneshiek
and Worth, with the chances favorable
to the progressives.
s Twenty conventions were held
today, and as a result the friends OF
Allison have increased their majority
in the state convention, which will be
large enough to unseat the progress
sive delegation from Scott and that
from Butler as the latter is deemed
as necessary for standpat purposes.
1t is the purpose Of the Allison lead
ers to have the convention adopt res
olutions which will indorse Allison in
no uncertain terms. They consider
their victory as Wrestling the control
Of the republican party in Iowa from
the hands of the progressives and ex-
pect to make the present victory COM
paete byearrying gthe primaries in June
not only for Allison but for the stand
pat state ticket, headed by State Aud
itor Carroll for governor.
For this reason they purpose to make
the most of their return to power by
taking everything in sight next We'd
nesday.
George D. Perkins probably will be
the permanent chairman of the con-
vention and will be selected as one of
the delegates at large to the national
convention National Committeeman
Ernest Hart, former Congressman
"Joe" Lane, and Lafe Young probab-
" will be selected as the others.
The verified returns from all the
counties which had held conventions
up to last night. show the following
figures: Standpat delegates, 507;
progressive delegates, 1898: contested
delegates, 20. The twenty-one coun-
ties to hold conventions today will Sc
lect ,249 delegates, and caucuses al
ready held will decide the results in
these counties.
Forecast Of Today's Results.

that the following counties in tomor-

MIR. URYA<'s POSITION.

Several newspapers recently print
ed statement that Mr. Bryan had
written to a friend in the east that
he would decline the democratic
nomination for the presidency should
1t develop that certain portion of
the delegates to the Denver conven-
tion were opposed to him. MIR. Bry-
an made no such statement. His
position was clearly described in n
statement printed in The Common
er of November IS. That position is
well told by this extract from the
November Is statement:
Mr. Bryan will not ask for or
seek nomination; and he Will not
assume TO decide the question of his
availability. He has been so amply
recompensed by his party for what
he has done and for what he has en-
deavored to. do that he cannot claim
nomination as a reward; neither
should his ambition be considered
for he has had honors enough from
his party to satisfy any reasonable
ambition The only questib mat
ought to weigh with the Ikrty is
whether the party can be strengthen
ed and aided more by hissnomina-
ton than by the nomination of some
one else. II he can serve the party
by being it's candidate, he will ac-
cept the commission, and make the
best fight he can If, however, the
choice falls upon another, he Will
not be disappointed or disgruntled.
His available is a question to be
decided not by him, not by a few
leaders, not even by the leading
newspapers that call themselves
democratic, but by the voters of the
party, and to them he intrusts the
decision of the question-they are
the supreme court in all matters
concerning candidates, as they are
In all matters concerning the plat
form.
1t may be added that Mr.. Bryan
does not regard the plutocratic
newspapers that have habitually mis-
represented him as being qualified
to speak even for a minority of
democrats. Those newspapers speak
for 1.-The system The rank and file
of the democratic party will shape
the party's course at Denver. 1t Is
adopted in the interests of the gen.
eral public will meet with the APP
proval of those from whose imposi-
relief The Commoner.

Commenting on the source of rev.
enue for democratic campaign ex-
penses in 1895 the St Louis Globe
Democrat says: 1T is said that in
1896, the year of his first presiden-
tial campaign, Mr.. Bryan's commit
tee received $2S8,000 from silver
mine owners and producers. No one
has ever doubted that the silver bar
ons contributed freely 10 the demo-
cratic war chest, for the election of
Bryan meant a vast profit for them. +"
Admitting that the silver barons
contributed for the reasons given by
the republican contemporary, is it
not just as true that Standard Oil
and life insurance and other get
rich-quick gratis contributed to the
republican slush fund for like rea-
son? And does the Globe-Democrat
or any other honest republican
doubt that those heavy contributors
to republican success realized we'll
