Cedar Rapids Evening Gazette, The (Newspaper) - May 15, 1894, Cedar Rapids, Iowa VOLUME 108 THEY FALL OUT Blythe and Gib Pray Politically at Swords not Agree on Appointments Wanted to Name tbo Whole Lot Pledges are Still Unfulfilled Meeting of the State Jackson Get a Second Sick of Him At Des Moines DES MOINES May mooting of tho republican state central committee which Is being held this afternoon to set the date of the next state convention and 10 transact other business relating to state political matters has had effect of greatly Increasing tho interest in politics which up to the present time has been shared in by few persons except the numerous for nomination for the position to be filled this fall Besides the committee a large number of state politicians are hero antl the chances of the various candidates arc being dis- cussed There seems to bo no doubt In tbe minds of those present but that the party Is sure to win in tho state this fall by a large majority and it Is believed that republicans will be returned to congress from all tho districts of the state ex- cept the second and there are some who sanguine enough to believe that the RAPIDS IOWA TUESDAY MAY 15 1894 PRICE FIVE CENTS y morn than additional members The leading republicans here are Disgusted with Both Blythe and Jackson and urn becoming quite solicitous to know whether Blythe Is again to be chairman of the committee When the Martin was put through the senate was standing In tbe lobby and as the vote announced he made the remark that ho had spent the winter at the capital for two purposes one was to secure tho election of Mr Gear as United States senator and the other was to see that the pledge of the party was redeemed and now that he had secured both ho was ready to go home and that ho was through with politics so far as he was concerned that he did not propose to the chairmanship again but would leave the party free to choose whoever It desired Several names have been mentioned In connection with tho chairmanship One democratic nominee from that district can be beaten A gentleman from the second says that la the event of Hayes nomination there will ba a split In the democratic party and that If Hayes Is sidetracked and some other democrat nominated especially If li should be Senator Bills or some other man recently from the republican there will be enough democratic tlon to Insure republican success but It Is not likely that very much money or of- fort will be wasted on the Second dis- Tho Indications are that Lacy Hepburn Hagar Hull Cousins son and Perkins will all be re- nominated without opposition The contest In the First district will be a lively one with candidates from all of the counties except possibly Jefferson nod Louisa In the Fourth district party precedent would indicate the nomination of Updergraff but Tom has not been standing in with tho machine very well and it is reported that he used some very language In regard to Jackson's record last fall which has had the effect of Irritating some of tho managers and it may be that ho will have trouble The only probable candidate against him Is Chairman and he Is possibly a candidate only so far as feeling Is weighed seldom makes known his wishes politically very far ahead and or two of them arc warm personal friends ot Mr Blythe who would not take the position If ho wishes tho place again of course they would be very much pleased to secure the honor In case Blythe should stop aside They have been trying to tied out what the man will do and one or two of them have talked with him directly on the subject and so far he has refused to commit self one way or tho other and the oral feeling Is that ho will again be a candidate for tho chairmanship unless ho concludes to run for congress In the Fourth district A movement was sot on foot during thu senatorial fight last winter to defeat and canvass to that end has been carefully made A majority of the members arc understood to Im opposed to election and most of the districts that chooso this fall will SOLD THE REPORTS The Chicago Board of Trade Discusses the fraud in the Sale of Ad- Crop Reports CHICAGO May of

14 ho will certainly not go Into the fight with any chances of losing The Question Another matter that is attracting a good deal of attention Is what the party will say at the next convention on the question of temperance Tho feeling against tho Martin law In tho counties without cities Is reported as intensely hostile It Is not satisfactory to the and It certainly is not factory to the liberal republicans and they am very numerous in tho counties having the smaller towns So far only ono county that of has secured tho per cent and provided for the ning ot saloons legally The have called a convention for June and and the that are mentioned In connection with the con- vention those who are as ing cast their political future with that party is somewhat startling to tho agers The prohibitionists claim that they will poll an enormous vote this fall times larger than that of last fall doubted ly be In tho hands of tho friends ol some of the defeated candidates last winter who would take a good deal of pleasure In seeing Mr Blythe Jail Still as he Is recognized as an excellent cal organizer there may be no attempt made to change tho chairmanship this year although the feeling throughout the state Is decidedly against tho retention of Mr Blythe In that position Chances for a Second Another matter that has been discussed a good daal around the hotels Is whether or not Jackson will bo a candidate for a second term A member of the com- slid last night that his dis- was decidedly opposed to Jackson and that while might not go Into any organized opposition to his yet was a general that he was too small a man to have that Office They were disgusted with tho performance of Jackson In regard to Kelly's army and were especially with his appointments which with a single exception have not boon factory He spoke especially of the appointment of oil commissioner which ho said was scandal on tho policy of the governor that he would take up a candidate who had not a single lino of tions not even from tho of his own district or his own man's Information it is said was ly contracted for by half a dozen inent firms and speculators at the rate of a month The arrived at wore practically the same aa those of the government's but the figures were given out several days ahead of those from the department and on tho first two occasions were to the little

Appointments So far as the state committee and thn governor Is very state of affairs has been developed and It now looks as though and Pray had broken away from the governor or that tho governor has broken away from Long before tho inauguration took place In fact before election Indicating to Jackson names of the men he wanted appointed to the different places and Jacksoa was scarcely settled In

his own which wore not always the samo as those that Blythe had been making and there Is whore the trouble came In So far Jackson has not mado a single prominent appointment In accordance with the wishes of and Pray ana tho break between the chairman of tho state committee and Jackson has become apparent that It can no longer bo con- Even during tho session of tho legislature Blythe muttered a good deal of complaint but it was not until the last few weeks that he has made known his feelings so openly as to direct public attention to the ill feeling that exists be- tween the two In
