TUT The Populists and free silver cans and Democrats of Iowa have de- upon a series of separate aad joint state conventions to be held In Moines oa zhe of nest to nom- a Joint state ticket It will be a convention of tise same amalgamation that met with such defeat at lowra polls The isosi prominent features of last week's conference was that the platform be outspoken for free silver and the Chicago platform No efforts made to in- terest or invite co-operation from those who aave always been on true Democratic principles Oa the contrary the opinion freely expressed that the Democrats who voted against last year should not be permitted to in tals year's silver green es and primaries The free silver licans present were as earnest and for a free silver ticket and form this year as the Populists and free silver Democrats There is no but laat they are now solidly aligned with free silver and there is no doubt but that honest money will not vote for silver green candidates on a free silver form Hon J Richardson Iowa's re- cent member of the Democratic National committee and one of the proprietors of the Davenport Democrat has ad- the principles of true Democracy for nearly fifty years was in New York last week and in an interview in the Tribune that the Sold Democrats of Iowa can not so back to 3 Richardson of Iowa represented his on the National committee at is tending to business Richardson cut from Bryan last fall and rhr Democrats for Banner asi Buckner I he In favor of and not to the free with silver now with the Populists There can be no affixation cm arses at The National Democrats have come to stay we cur IE state ready for We are aot so in numbers and the vote cast for e test as the galii Democrat voted for We has cot the to In- z Senator with his con- or to injure any other or official It merely desires to ice all the exact facts before he to place every legislator on the record m has yO OF SILVER There need be no fear of free silver ever lain as formidable a showing of as it was able to co last fall have changed this Last fall wide is The National made loans There will or any kiaS had divided his own party on tha issues and the hesitation on the Lrt of some of the Republican leaders the met at is tended to encourage the men wao Ere marshalling under the standard of fee silver It is to see that such a n of circumstances favorable the a free silver tnt is not repeated in this this the We are active and is est and I we shall make a good showing in the future There should be so doubt ibai the est Democrats of Iowa will not join in any campaign efforts that strengthen or encourage the silver green of the state The advocates of honest money should be as aligned in all as the silver f and the probability is that the cans of Iowa have made an excellent and strengthening trade in trading off the free silver of their party for honest money Democrats who win vote for all the Republican tickets until the sound money Democrats will be come la the Republican Iowa this and all other years and they will be given full credit for all they aid in just were last year silver Since the election ia last fall Russia has made ar- to place her credit and her more surely on a sold and aan has established the gold j BRAKE FOR While the Democratic newspaper ren are waiting somewhat impatiently for the appearance of a silver green date for governor of capacity they are utilizing their waiting time ia attempting to make it appear that the Republicans have not generally decided candidate for the head of their For instance the Keokuk Con-

give Sts outright Peru and K-c to ve for the Front Bolivia one of the minor countries oi ith America has just managed jo un- the silver One by one the tie countries the are placing themselves the civilized commercial standard the world It is wholly unreasonable it this great country should vote to re- tae processes of the civilized world ich a contention is wholly unreasonable no one but free could contend to that effect AS has been successfully Hi to the Xew York Kew Haven railroad between Hartford and w Britain Three years ago the same d made a test of the overhead wire but without

the time with them differences of opinion to be expected Their greatest Juble with the legislature seems to have Isfn through the selection of the sub- its for the medallions The legislature is also provoked with fact that on the worth of medallions to covered with inscriptions and to take Ie places of the original had bt been entered upon The legislature Bought that work was delayed In the pe of still putting on the monument the work of the new WH The sents the Republican press sentiment as evidenced by the fact that the can papers of the state are quite ly declaring in favor of the of Gov Drake There may be a few other candidates seeking to gain introduction and prestige in this year's convention fcr the nomination in as ing contests but the ability is that Gov Brake will be almost if not altogether unanimously He has made an excellent ernor and the work and records of the governor's office never in better condition than they have been and are under Gov Drake He has not taken part in the controversies of state outside of his own office and duties but his message at the assembling of the extra session clearly presented the state's financial condition and recommended that all of last session's special tions any part of which is yet undrawn be reviewed by the general assembly and wherever the same be done without the expenditure be deferred to the year His message also urged that similar examination into lic expenditures might be made with a view to reduction wherever practicable may be effectively inaugurated a movement which shall lead eventually the cancellation of all indorsed rants and let me express the hope to an abandonment of the practice of en- warrants not paid a practice not in conformity with sound business principles even in the matter of running into debt That message was read to the general assembly on the day it assembled in ex- tra session and it supplied the platform on which the members so generally bored and without regard to party udice until they had enacted reforms and reductions into the new code that will save the cost of the extra session every year those reforms and reductions maintained and enforced in the laws of the state in who with Representatives Punk and Baker are mainly entitled to the credit of and reducing the ses of the offices in the capitol to an of over annually state that Drake co-operated with and aided them in every possible manner while they were making the examinations leading to the introduction Of the joint resolution those reforms and re- passed both houses unanimously Gov Drake's saso placed the situation before the extra session on its Rations reforms and and the governor constant In upon the that the cable date The should know that is the reason there are no double-leaded headed concerning the The is also taken what it terms the treatment of Frank Jackson Gov Jackson could have had z practically unanimous re- if he had but his business interests were such that he could not further the state as governor as he stated in his letter in which he no- the Republicans of the state that he would not be a candidate for nation There was no factious to his and he would have been aad reflected by au increased majority if he bad de- sired another term These facts are known to all the Republicans and The only mentions them here in der that no injustice may be to ex- Gov Jackson made a good record as and is making a business record of raore than state magnitude and importance We take pleasure in assuring the ren of the Democratic press that the publicans of Iowa tvill have no in selecting their for 1897 and electing them by the largest majority ever cast in an exclusively state election That probability made a certainty by the reforms and reductions made by the extra session and Gov Drake is en- titled to the credit of presenting the financial condition of the state and every possible reduction of tures oa the first day that extra session assembled the largely ed revenues the tariff the expenditures of the ment were greatly increased four years the clover fields were kept open for the free and porters The Register ciat the tariff should have continued until the war was paid and thai there is no doubt but tariff would liave paid the last of the war debt before close of 1894 but the McKinley tariff was sufficient to ample revenues as as the government was administered and would have paid the remainder the war debt if it Sad been continued on the statutes and been administered by Republican administrations for ten years The ly decreased revenues and in- creased expenditures the past four years are plainly and officiary by the following statement pre- pared by the secretary of in response to resolution introduced by Senator and passed the senate a few days which gives the receipts and of the government for each fecal year from ISTa both s of oi STS iSTT ISTS ISSS 343.023 la That is a very ins ment and ss the facts presented therein will be frequently referred to in this and nesc year's voter should cut the statement out and file it away for convenient reference The statement also snows that the re- forms steadily promised by the op- ot Republicanism always result in Increased expenditures in state governments The Republican of have entered this year's campaign wirb a certain and large re- duction in state expenditures enforced in the laws and they equal price in the made on National receipts and expenditures by the official table in this aricie TO GOLD DEMOCRATS The Dubuque Telegraph is really the fountain head and supply of
