Democrats Will
Hold a Convention.

Baltimore, June 9.-Baltimore awaits
the coming of the 1890 delegates to the
Democratic National convention the
preparations for which have praetical-
~ been completed. Already the adj
vance guard of boomers for candidates
for the Presidential nomination have
pitched their camps ON the battle
ground.
Applications for tickets to the con-
ventioI proceedings are pouring in
from prospective visitors from all over
the country. and it was estimated. to-
night, that nearly 100000 requests for
tickets had been received. As there are
about 10000 tickets TO be distributed,
the committee is having its difficulties
In making assignments.

arms of the Democratic National COM

secretary of the Democratic National
committee, arrived, today, for con-
ference here, tomorrow, with Chairman
Norman Re. Mack, at which final ar
rangements for the convention at Bal
timere will be considered
The committee is overwhelmed with de-
mands for seats. The convention hall
seats 1900 and being in the center of
population of nearly 100000 sand Sec
rotary Woodson, the demand for adj
mission is greater than in years We
have decided to adopt the split ticket
system. That is, we shall issue admis-
sion tickets to the members of the ma
tional committee which will be exchange
ed for eight session tickets so that the
tickets may be distributed more widely
than it they were season affairs
The committee on credentials will have
little to do at Baltimore. Mr.. Woodson
said. The only contests of which notice
has been filed are over delegates from
the Philippine islands, District of Co
lumbia and Porto Rico. 1t is understood
that e. $. Trude. prominent criminal
lawyer, has been engaged to represent
the Hearst-Harrison faction of Chicago
in contest against the 20 Sullivan dele
gates from Cook county, but official no.
tice of the contest has not been filed.
The auti-imperialistic stand which the
Democratic party has taken for years
goes for naught in one respect, this year,
when. for the first time in history,
delegates from the Philippine islands has
been included. 1t was through an error
that the island was included in the no
tice for the election of delegates and
they have named two. both of whom are
en- route to this country for the conven-
ton. In 1900 the Democratic convention
voted to bar participation of the Philip
pine islands delegate in the party's bust
ness.

MARSHALL coUN1Y,s CANDIDATE.

Marshall county may feel much
gratitied over the manner in which the
state rs receiving the candidacy of her
senator Van Law, for the gubernatorial
iieutenancy. The press comment is al
most entirely commendatory of the
candidacy and universally so of the
candidate. Newspa pe-s in all parts of
Iowa many of them factionally OPP
posed TO progressive candidates and
politics not only approve but urge the
Van Law candidacy.
II is rather a unique situation in
Iowa, where republican harmony does
not grow on bushes. to find opinion so
nearly unanimous in favor Of candi-
date II is vastly TO Senator Van Laws
credit that i, is SO, because it is a
record Of faithful service to the state
az large. broad service wide and long as
Iowa. II is gratifying 10 him and his
county because il is a recognition Of
services we'll performed and a demand
for the promotion and continuance in
public service Of a very valuable pub
lie man.
From appearances Senator Van Law
will be the next republican nominee for
lieutenant governor by a most impress
sive majority.

A WORD FOR THE CARP.
rHurlinRton Hawkeye1

Dressed carp from Clear Lake have
been sent to Kansas City, where it
found q ready market The prejudice
against carp does not seem to exist
except where the fish is caught. It
may be another case of the fish being
without honor in his own country. The
carp is considered an excellent food
fish in Europe, and no doubt, If given
the same treatment and cooked or pre-
pared for the table, as 1t is in the old
world, would be pronounced delicacy
here. People are odd about such things
here. And there are other varieties OF
fish that are not eaten by the people
who catch them in the Mississippi and
the adjacent sloughs that do find their
way to market and are considered quite
palatable by the people who buy them.
