From Governor to Tramp

The editor recalls the Republican
state convention held at Cedar Rapids
in 1891 and the nomination that day of
Hon. n. c. Wheeler, of Odebolt, for
governor. Mr.. Wheeler was then a
large and successful farmer, owning
several thousand acres of Iowa, land
from which hereceived large income.
He was splendid man but was defeat
ed by Governor Boies who had al
ready served one term. Whether his
defeat had anything to do with it we
do not know, but he sold out soon
after and went to Texas to make a new
home and invest his money. Judge
Kenyon, of the Illinois Central road,
reports that he recently found Mr..
Wheeler in Chicago looking like a
tramp, unkempt, ragged and pa
thetic figure, who is dependent upon
his daughter for home" Bad luck
resulting from investments inthe south
brought about his failure.
