The question asks how many will attend the upcoming Republican state convention to vote against adopting a prohibitory plank. Without the source text, the exact attendee count cannot be determined.
Senator T. E. Clark, author of the state prohibition law, opposes putting the issue to voters again. He favors remaining with prohibition until thoroughly defeated and then endorsing local option by counties. He supports prohibition in principle but would abandon it if necessary. He would remain a Republican in any event.
The Muscatine Journal argues many county men back the prohibitory law in name yet voted for Botes on tariff issues. It claims such inconsistency shows tariff influenced Gov Loies' success more than prohibition.

Judge S M Weaver, Republican candidate for supreme judge, says the defeat was fair and notes the large turnout favors Democrats. He expects a GOP victory in 1892 as national issues eclipse local ones, though recent surprises warn against overconfidence.
The Ottumwa Sun quotes a republican argument that foreign tariffs fund the United States by paying the salaries of the president and Congress, federal officers, soldiers, debt, and public buildings. It asserts that when foreigners pay tariffs, they effectively sustain the government and military.

The Georgian nominates Charles Frederick Crisp of Georgia as speaker after his 119 to 105 defeat of Mills with Springer and Stevens garnering small votes. Mills supporters desert to Crisp to punish him, while Crisp proclaims tariff reform as a key plank. The Iowa delegation backed Mills from the start.
In Iowa the farmers jury acquits Gov Horace Boies of slandering the state in a New York speech. The piece contrasts partisan forces and public opinion, noting Boies’s defense and a rural counties gain analysis showing his increased plurality despite urban losses. Shenandoah Post and Oskaloosa Times comment.
The Davenport Democrat reports nearly seventy Democrat congressmen split on 1892 ticket. About 24 back Boies for vice president, 3 favor him for president, 17 back Cleveland and Boies, 20 non-committal. Nebraska interviews show about 90 percent favor Cleveland with Boies also mentioned for second place.
The text argues Boies should not hold a national ticket spot, suggesting his presence harms both him and Iowa democracy and that his role is better kept for local considerations.
Mrs Helen M Gougar describes a staged tinplate show at a Piqua mill as part of a prohibition rally. She recalls questions about tin production, the manager's jokes, and a mock demonstration of McKinley era objects, noting the exhibit seemed a political hoax and a fraud.
A column declares the Republican campaign issue in Ohio is a fraud tied to the tin-plate mill in Piqua. It denounces the party whip and calls for a self-respecting constituency to start from power, labeling the conduct as dishonest and misleading to the reading public.
