TALKS ABOUT THE COMING CAMPAIGN
He Thinks It Will Ho n Oulet , One lu
Which tlie Kepulillrnns Will He
ttaslly Vlctorluns Over
All Opposition.
General F. M. Drake of Centervllle spent
a few hours In the city yesterday and took
a room at the a rand , where ho met a large
number of prominent republicans. He came
here chiefly for the purpose , he said , of callIng -
Ing upon Hon. George F. Wright , John N.
Baldwin anJ other gentlemen here whom ho
has "known for years. Mr. Wright and he
wcro boys together In the eastern part ot
the state. Incidentally , of course , General
Drake desired to ascertain how the western
Iowa republicans felt concerning his candi
dacy for governor.
"I have bocn visiting a dozen or ntteen
places In the state , " said he , In a cheery ,
pleasant I manner , "but not altogether for the
purpose | of making a campaign. In fact , I
don't expect to make much of a campaign.
I met n few friends at Atlantic last evening ,
andnfter shaking hands with a few of my
old friends and acquaintances here I will re
turn homo. You can put me down as a re
publican all the way along. 1 cast my first
vote for General Fremont , and have voted
for every other catdldate for president since ,
and at all state and county elections , except
during the four years I was In the army.
You can also put this down as a sort of
crystallzatlon of my political ballet after
watching and studying all my life : What
ever Is 'good , Inside the government and
out of It , must be found Inside of the- repub
lican party. The best advlco I can give my
fellow republicans Is to stay Insldo the re
publican party while It settles the grave
questions of the day. There arc no other
means of settling them. In the campaign In
Iowa this fall both state and national issues
will be discussed. I have no platform of
my own. The platform that the republicans
udopt will be my platform , and I will stand
upon It proud and conscious that I am stand
ing for the beat Interests of the whole people
of the state.
"Tho monetary question will be an Impor
tant factor , and the position that the makers
of the state platform will take upon It will
bo my position. I think Senator AllL'on's
Marshalltown speech furnishes the keynote of
the Iowa and the national campaign upon this
subject. Mr. Allison favors a platform pro
viding for an International agreement on the
coinage of silver. There Is no Issue between
the factions of the republican party today on
this subject because there are no factions.
The democrats are torn up , and are still a
tearing each other to pieces over It. The
administration democratic party Is composed
of and controlled by monometalllsts. They
care nothing for silver , but are willing to
Join the bulk of the party and acqulese In
anything. Democratic principle has always
been anything for success ; republican prin
ciple something for the good of the people.
I am willing to trust the solution of the grave
monetary problems to the republican party.
What else can you do ? We are Just like
the oU darkey who was asked which he pre
ferred to ride upon , a railway train going
at lightning speed over the land or a big ship
on the ocean. 'Well , you tee , bow , when
yo1 Is on do train an' runs Inter de ditch an'
gits all smashed up you Is right dar , but If
yo' Is on de water an' de ship goes down ,
whar Is you ? ' Wo are not ready to trust
our national life to the uncertainties of a
ship , rudderless , pllotless , chartleM , with a
commander who Is always 'at sea , ' with land
lubbers for crew , and "as liable to sail to the
bottom with the first storm as to ever reach
a safe haven.
"I do not think wo will have a very ex
citing campaign In Iowa this fall. It will b
a mild , healthful victory , Just the kind that
will do us thtj'niost good.11 " '
During ! the afternoon the general shook
hands with a largo number of citizens and
impressed them very favorably. He Is , a
fine looking , .vigorous gentleman , whose af
fability makes him very approachable. There
Is no question , whatever , but that he would
give a popular administration of the state
government It the convention shoull' aec fit
to select him for Its otandard bearer.

Atunciiimit for Sin.
Broadway church was filled to overflowing
at the IMerson meeting last evening , A
select quartet sang "Stealing ) Away , " after
which prayer was offered by Rev. J. J.
Parker ot Norfolk. Mr. Itlgdon sang "Softly
rnd Tenderly , " and a number of selections
were rendered by the chorus choir , under
the very able direction of Mr. Clarence Judson -
son , who U himself a very tnveet singer.
The text was Exodus xll. , 14 : "When I
see the blood I will pass over you. "
"Running through the entire scripture , "
said Mr. I'ierson , "wo find that without the
shedding of blood there Is no remission of
sin. The llnt blood was she ! in Eden on
account of sin , sacrifices were made for ages
to atone for sin , and so wo may follow this
scarlet thread entirely through the scrip
tures. When the first born was to bo sacri
fices , death never entered where blood from
a sacrifice was sprinkled upon the door post.
"Out with the death of Christ this shedding -
ding of blood for sin ceased. When Christen
on the cross said , 'It Is finished , ' It meant
that man's redemption was accomplished. I
read that Christ , our Passover , was sacrificed
for us. Let His blood bo applied to your
.heart , , and eternal death will never come to
your soul. "

The jury In the Duffee personal damage
case , where the plaintiff asks a largo ellee
ot Colonel Reed's fortune for having beta
accidentally shot at Manawa last summer ,
deliberated oter the testimony all ot Thun-
day night and reached a verdict yesterday
morning. Just before the hour for convening
court arrived , The verdict was that the
Manawa management had no responsibility
for the accident and that Duties had not re
ceived any personal damages that Colonel
Reed should pay for. It Is reported that
Colonel Reed offered him $100 before a suit
was started } but It wan refused. The court
costs amount to about $200 , which the com
plainant must pay. No notice of appeal has

( lood OoTcrnment Club Biiecrsli Iteforms
to Improve Munlclpil Flnnncrs.
The Good Government club held a meetIng -
Ing last evening In the south wing of the
county court house for the purpose of re
ceiving the report of Its special committee
appointed several days ago to formulate a
reply to the criticisms ot the mayor and
others and to refute the charge that the
club was engaged only In a destructive as
sault upon the city's finances and credit
without being able to suggest nny methods to
relieve the conditions It was assailing. The
committee consisted of Hon. L. W. Ross ,
Judge W. C. James and Attorney C. M ,
Harl. The report was read Immediately
after the proceedings ot the previous mcet-
liiK were approved. It begins with a vigor
ous reply to the criticisms made upon It , and
calls attention to the fact that the organiza
tion Is composed of citizens and taxpayers
who should not be charged with attacking
the city's credit or suggesting repudiation ot
Its obligations. Such a course was not the
purpose ot the club , but Its objects were to
aid In bringing about wise business methods
whereby the city's credit could be main
talned and the payment of Its "outstanding
obligations made possible at the earliest pos
sible date. Attention Is called to the fact
that similar financial situation In many other
cities has called forth similar organization ? ,
having for their object the betterment of muni
cipal government. The avowed purpose of the
present city administration to effect a rad'-
cal reduction of public expenditures rather
than an Increased assessment Is warmly
commended. A sweeping denial Is made of
the charge that the figures furnished by the
club have been erroneous or Intentionally
misleading , but asserts that all the figures
were taken from official sources.
Then follows seven recommendat'ons , which
are given as the result of the Investigations
and deliberations of the cub. ! The first deals
with the water works problem and calls for a
legal Inquiry Into the validity of the com
pany's contract with the city , nnd recom
mends that the city at once abrogate thu
contract and bring the proper action that Its
validity may be determined by the courts , to
the end that a new contract may be made
that will relieve the city of the burdensome
water rents. The exemption of the company
from municipal taxation is pronounced
Illegal and unjustifiable.
The second calls for a halt In the system
of putting general fund warrants -Into Judg
ments , for the payment of which a heavy
Judgment tax must bo levied , a tax greater
than Is contemplated by law.
The third provides that a part of the sinkIng -
Ing fund not available for the paymsnl of
obligation for which It is pledged for a num
ber of years , shall bs Invested in the pur
chase of Interest bearing obligations of the
city.Tho
The fourth calls for refunding of the
outstanding general fund warrants nt a lower
rate of Interest In long time bonds.
The fifth recommends the consolidation of
the chief of police and marshal's offices.
The sixth demands rigid economy and the
careful Investigation by the city council of
all the departments of the city government
and the checking of useless expenditures.
The seventh objects to the abuses that
have grown up under the power given the
council to order Improvements at the expense
of abutlng property , and suggests a chanrT
In the general law relating to street Im
provements.
The report was adopted without dissent.
Speeches were made by Ross , McCabe , llarl
and others.

At yesterday in.pr\Jng's ( \ session of
the supreme council" < Catholic Knights
'
of America the convention again
resolved Itself Into n committee
of the whole to complete considera
tion of the report of the committee on laws.
The most Important feature In this respect
was the debate ou the question of creating
the supplemental cilice of supreme organizer ,
a position suggested to Increase the member
ship of the order. During the discussion
Archbishop Gross of Oregon took the floor
for the first time during the convention
proceedings and warmly urged the necessity
ot doing something to Infuse new life In
the order and Insure an Increase In member
ship. He berated old togylsm and expressed
the hope that action would be taken to avert
Impending peril of a decay In membership.
The venerable archbishop's remarks were ap
plauded and the amendment to create the
office was finally referred back to the com
mittee on laws for reconsideration. That
committee had previously made an adverse
report.
At noon the committee of the whole re
ported progress and will resume Its sitting
this afternoon , when the exhaustive work of
considering the law committee's report will
ba completed , officers will bo elected and the
labors of the tenth council will bo at an
end.
end.The western delegates held a caucus at the
Dsllono and decided to promote the
chances of Hon. E. D. McGulnncss of
Providence. R. I. , for the supreme presidency ,
but Mr. McGulnncas this morning positively
declined to allow his name to go before the
convention. He gave as a reason
that business duties would not
permit acceptance of the position. This prac
tically makes Hon. James David Col 'man of
Louisiana a strong possibility for the execu
tive chair of the organization. Many of the
delegates have urgeil his name , and It Is
probable that he will be the next supreme
president , If he wants the place. The Mis
souri delesatlnn. however. Is energetically
booming Vice. President Hannaeur of St.
Louis.
If Mr. Coleman Is elected supreme presldenl
Washington , D. C. , will , In al
probability , bo selected as the next place
of meeting. The Mobil' crowd , backed by
many southern delegates. Is making a strong
fight for the picturesque Alabama town.
CONCERNING THU SINKING FUND.
Yesterday afternoon was largely devoted to

the majority of the"timmllteo on law. ' , bu
Mr. McGulnncss , rel4respi'ltlng tlie minority
filed a report favoramq 'to' the Idea.

which lasted from ; 3p to 5:30 : o'clock. 1
was one of the warmest , contests of the con

In consequence thereof they wanted cheaper
assessments. Mr. Harrington of Nebraska
EiibtalnoJ the sentiment of the' western dele
gates and sonlewhat dramatically appealed
to the cnVcntlon to do something- that would
protect the shattered earnings of the laborIng -
Ing men of the west who belonged to the
order. After a prolonged debate the minor
ity report was adopted by a vote ot 27 to 21 ,
and pavjed the committee of tlie whole : It
lequlrcs'a two-thirds Vote of the council to
'
male a constl'tuflonal amendment.
Several favorable reports from archbishops
throughout the country were read , In which
the right reverend gentlemen encouraged the
organization. At C o'clock the convention
took a recess until 8 o'clock , after rising as
a committee of the whole nnd completing
most of Its exhaustive consideration of the
committee on Uws.
At 8 o'clock last night Supreme President
Shlno called the council to order and the

IS PUBLIC DISHONOR.
But greater than all other objections Is
.hat of public dishonor and repudiation. No
trick or sophistry can make the scaling of
a debt to mean anything but dishonesty and
cheating. It Is possible there Is something
jchlnd the free coinage scheme not really
discovered. It U possible It Is aimed against
the great mass of ths Industrious and In
telllgent , nnd It Is really Intended to serve
the Interests of the very rich nnd of great
corporations. The bonded debt of the rail
ways In the United State * Is about $6,000 , '
000,000. If free coinage of silver were Intro
duced It would enable the railways to pay
off their debts with what is now equivalent
to about $3,000,000,000. Theywould thus be
relieved of the necessity of paying to small
Investors who have taken their bonds one-
half ot what these corporations now owe
them.
The Shjrman act of July 4 , 1890 , unless re
pealed , would have brought us to the single
standard. As It was , the mere suspicion of
silver monometallism and the change of
prices and of our standard of measure struck
a blow at the solidity ot our Internationa"
trade , brought on the panic , made prices un
certain and caused doubt as to future plans
In e\ery factory and chop In the land. Those
who have silver mines and who can by their
wealth control pol.llcal parlies and IcgUla
tures , who make the yery seat ot our na1
tlonal government- their prided offices ami
actually turn the national senate Into a bu
reau for bulling the pr.'co of their product
to those men we say baware.
Those of us who belong to the rank o
plain citizens , who are thinking only of the
country as a whole , who believe In the hon
esty , intelligence and Integrity of the Anier
lean people , we hold that when a question
of right or wrong Is presented In a campaign
ot education tlie people will decide for th
right. We cannot believe that n special In
terest led by millionaires can go on unchecked
chocked In their plan of sacrificing the tax
payers In order to heap up riches , especially
when this Is done on the most false o
economical grounds , grounds which hav
been proved wrong by the experience of ever ;
country of modern times.
Th ; proposal for free coinage was born I :
the private offices of the silver kings , nurset
at the hands of speculators , clothed In eco
nomlc error , fed on boodle , and as sure at
there Is honesty and truth In the American
hiart It will dlo young and be burled In th
SWNQ ignominious grave'wherein lies the now
forgotten Infant once famous as the rag baby
Contrary to expectation , the time after tb

ALTON , la. , May 17. In a letter to the
Alton Democrat , ex-Governor Boles of Iowa
'comes out for the free coinage of silver at n
16 to 1 , without waiting on any Interna
tional action , Mr. Boles says : "It Is Idle to
expect the masses ot the American people
to wait for the co-operation of foreign na
tions before they settle this question. They
have no faith In such a remedy. They have
taken the matter Into their own hands and
they will settle It ono way or another , so
far as this country Is concerned , In the next
national election that Is held. It unre

that gold tnonomctallUts predict , the consequences

friends of free coinage of both motala. They
did not seek the Issue ; all that they asked
was honest bimetallism with reasonable
safeguards for maintaining the parity of the
two. This has been denied them upon false
grounds , as I believe no possible legislation
could effect that end. I frankly iidmlt that
If the question is to bo narrowed to the
single question of gold monometallism on
ono side or unconditional free coinage of
both metals at the old ratio on the other , I
am In favor of free coinage , because I bcllevo
