Dolii ver, temporary chairman was intro duced. Mr. Dolllver said: “The demand of | the hour ia for somebody who under- | stands the every dav business of the | government of the Luitcd Stales; who , can read the account hooks on both ] sides; what we take in and what we pay out. We offer to the national | service a statesman trained in the public business, who has left the im press of his practical wisdom on every revenue measure enacted since the Thirty-eighth Congress, and under whose aye every item of every aopi <>- j prlation bill for nearly u generation , has passed. A training like that, sel dom approached in American public life, would of itself bring hope and ! deliverance to the uneasy treasury of the United States. “The need of these times is not so much for a leader to rally the people to the Republican banner, as for a master of the art of administration, conservative and strong, aim to hold the victory after it is won. Nothing can keep the American people from voting against the Democratic party this year. No man lias been proposed for the nomination whose election would not bring honor to the chief office of the people, hut among all the illustrious men who are presented for the favor, of the party, in this year of hope and victory, not one outranks in —I_4___a t . . a_ i ... 1_. i_ unassuming leader of Republicanism in Iowa His name is on the lips and in the hearts of all the people to day.” The address was interrupted fre quently by applause, especially at every reference to Allison. Foil' thousand people were present. The convention was the most enthusiastic in the history of the state. The resolutions instructed the dele gates to the St. Louis convention to work for Allison's nomination as long as bis name w«> lie fore Hist body. FORGED TAX RECEIPTS. Thousands of Dollars Filched Krnni Ihs Chicago City Treasury. CuiCAOO. March 12.—Thousands of dollars have been filched from the city treasury through a clever scheme con cocted by three sharks, a clerk in the comptroller's office and another in the special assessment bureau. The steal was accomplished by forging special assessment tax receipts. It is another grab at the special assessment fund arid while It Is not known just how much money has been obtained, it is possible that 920,000 or 925,000 slipped out of the people's vaults before the con spirators were detected. Investiga tion has developed that they obtained at least 94,Otto. Neither Comptroller Wetherell, City Treasurer Wolf nor Chief of Police Hadcnoch will give the names of those implicated in the fraud{ The tax sharks have, been located, however, it is probable that several arrests of those connected with the matter will be made to-day.

The glory of the "Overland Route” hae been told in prose and poem by those who have a right to claim the te-st knowledge of It; those who tolled over (he plains driving oxen In spans, which pulled great caravans of freight; those who hopetully bore the heat and burden of the day, buoyed up and encouraged l»y the hope of an Kl Dorado In the mountains of the west great, noble hearted men who sought In the glorious west the reward which seemed never to come near their doors In the populous “ast. They were brave,and kind-hearted, bold and gentle, und the writer loves to dwell on their adventures and depict ihelr hair-breadth escapes, and tell of their hopes and their disappointments. In one sense theirs Is the story of the lives of msny who read, and a chord of sympathy Is touched by the skillful tell ing of the story, Kvcryonc who lru» read these tales of the west has felt an Instinctive desire to see the spots, hal lowed at least In memory by some story, which has served to pass an hour away; and each one has longed for an oppor tunity. Those of the present day bavo tho best of the earlier members of this mutual admiration society, for they can now make the trip In comfort, free from peril, and surrounded by all the luxuries incident to modern travel. Instead of tolling over the calcined track of thw*s _. . . J .L_li.. .U... A ..

The route through Kansas Ib a varied scene of thrift and growing greatness, agriculturally, and when night haiflow ered her shades and the hours of rest are passed, the grander beauties of the Rocky Mountains are In view, and one Instinctively prepares himself to drink In the wonders which nature has strewn in profligate plenty within touch, al most, of the passing train. From Den ver to Cheyenne there Is spread a pano rama of hills and fields, dashing rivers "and the complaining brooks thut made the meadows green,” and mountains whose snow-capped tops seem to reach to the very skies and mingle their glis tening peaks amid the shadowy clouds. The highest point on this "Overland Route" across the continent Is 8,247 feet, at Sherman; hence those who fear the results of great altitudes are re lieved of that apprehension, as very lit tle difficulty is experienced. One of the wonders of the American continent, ar tificial but Interesting, Is the Ames monument, erected tn remembrance of - the work done by Mr. Ames In connec tion with the building of this great east and west artery of commerce and-which reminds one of the Pyramids of Kgypt, and makes one wonder whether they, too, commemorated ability and power as well as served to keep the sacred re mains of their projectors. The Dal# creek bridge is another magnificent specimen of human skill, and one com pares the handiwork of man with that of nature, which all around viea with It. Idaho is entered at Border Station, an appropriate name, and one then thinks of the great mineral productions of the country through which he is passing and stares anew at the creation of natu ral force, the Shoshone Kalla, the great geysers which abound In the parks, the mountains ever seeming higher and fuller of poetry and romance, and chal lenging comparison with anything that has yet been seen. It seems to the trav eler that what comes after miwt be a repetition, or some reproduction of something that has been seen on this delightful journey, and be guessua that the stories of the parks of the great northwest must be tales of fancy, for it these cannot cause the mind to revel, Indeed, must the best part of man. bia Imagination, be dulled und he a* object for pity. When, therefore, the grand est scenery of North America, the won derful Yellowstone I'ark Is reached, what a pleasure to feel that the powiy of appreciation has beeu whetted ratiuer than dulled, and that the grandeur and beauty of the surroundlr.gs awaken new and embellished Ideas, und give the heart and mind a greater degree of ap preciatlon. Bo the whole route is an education, and an enjoyuout at the same time, while the glow of new health heighten* the color aud drives a wav lb* west tux** which, perchance waalhe di rect cause for the Journey While the routs Just described has be«a through Colorado, Wyoming.
