where, out of total vote of A. 1868, the
returns indicate that Representative
ID. S. Alexander, Republican, and
Charles b. Smith, Democratic Prohibi,
tion-Independent candidate, had each
received the same number-20,6S ,6S4.
There is an error in computing a total
on one of the tally sheets, which the
Republicans concede should be al
lowed and which will give Mr.. Smith
a majority of one vote. A contest
in behalf of Representative Alexander
is declared improbable.

IS
NOW ASSURED
Striking Express Drivers to
Return to Work.
ENDORSE PEACE COMPACT

Manhattan Men Involved Approve
Tentative Agreement and These on
the New Jersey Side Are Expected
to Do Likewiea--old Rates Of Pay
to Prevail Until Dec. I, When the
New Terms Agreed or win Take
Effect.
New York, Nov. 12.--Favorable ac-
tion by the New Jersey section of
striking express company employees on
the settlement agreement is all that
is wanting to bring the express strike
to an end,
Terms of settlement agreed on by
representatives of the strikers and of
the companies were endorsed by a
meeting of express company men in
Manhattan, called to consider the
peace compact. The only conditions
were that the strikers on the New Jer.
sey side of the Hudson river should
endorse the agreement, which they are
expected to do. and that the compa.
nies construe the terms of the agree
ment which the men consider essen.
tial, with fairness.
The settlement provides that the ex.
press companies take back their strik-
ing employees without discrimination
against men who belong to a union
and that conferences begin at once be-
tween employees and companies look
ing to an agreement on wages and
hours. The old rates of pay will pre-.
vail until Dec. l, when the new terms
agreed upon shall take effect
Other Concerns Not Affected.
The settlement between the express
companies and their men does not af.
feet employees of other concerns, who
are out as the result of the sympa.
thetic strike movement Now that the
principal difficulty is regarded as set
tied, however, there is every expecta.
tion that adjustments will rapidly be
reached in the other pending disputes.
The strike began among United
States Express company employees and
spread sympathetically to those of the
other companies, involving as we'll
drivers for numerous private transpor.
tation concerns, department stores,
coal wagon and other drivers and
chauffeurs of practically all of the
taxicab companies Probably $4,000
men in all have been involved at one
time and another The majority of the
chauffeurs have already gone back,
having effected an agreement with
their employers.
The business of the express compa.
nies here has been thoroughly demor.
allied and conditions were daily grow.
ing more serious. A general strike OF
teamsters also was imminent.

G.. A. r. ENCAMPMENT,

1t has been several years since our
city and perhapt never has our Great.
er Des Moines capitulated so easily and
gracefully to the Grand Army of the
Republic as they did last Wednesday
when the boys of 1860 now the vete-
rams of the Civil War knocked at the
door Of the metropolis of Iowa. 1t was
the Seth Annual Encampment of Iowa
and never has the reception on the part
of our citizens been so generous and
so much enthusiasm on the part Of the
veterans the entire three-day session.
1t was one constant feast of good
things each day and each hour and why
should it not be, for Iowa was one of
the most loyal and furnished as brave
men as ever faced the cannon s mouth
and today we welcome those brave
heroes who save the Union and pre-
serve our flag, who destroyed forever
slavery and established freedom. Those
men made it possible for this great ma
tion to lift up and elevate common
humanity everywhere. We say all hail
the boys in blue and three cheers.

RESULTS OF PRIMARIES.

Tuesday for the second time Iowa
tried the new State wide primary
nominating law. The law worked
well for better and more satisfactory
than the old regime. The results Of
Tuesday was sweeping victory for the
Progressives of Iowa, they carried
practically all the state Offices, but two
and all the congressional districts but
three. This was remarkable thing
for the progressives to run when they
were working against adds, for the
national administer was against them.
The sweeping victory for Judge s. F.
Prouty over Capt. Hull was most
glorious one, and we are glad beyond
expression that our district will now
have a progressive as it should have.
