V - * THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SATURDAY JULY 2 , 1881. THE LATE IOWA CONVENTION , A Spirited but Good Natured Con test Waged by the Friends of All the Candidates , The Chairman Pounds a Table to Piecoa in a Vain Attempt to Keep Order. The Campbell Delegates Break on the Twelfth Ballot and Sherman is Nominated. The National Platform of 1880 Reaffirmed A Ringing Sot of Resolutions Adopted. A Short Biographical Skotcli of tlio Nominee- Special to Tito Dec DBS MOINKS , Iowa. , Juno 30. As forecasted in previous despatches the battle of the convention was to bean an effort to break the solid lines of Larrabco and Sherman , by stamped ing the uninstructed delegates and coralling thorn in the camp of Ilarlan and Campbell. Harlan's interests wore engineered by Frank Hatton , of The Burlington Hawkeye , and Sena tor Woolion of Henry county. Frank Campbell was his own manager , and his general popularity and wide ac quaintance with politics and politicians caused him to bo feared as n mighty hard man to boat. Sherman and Larraboo had drawn up their lines for a contest , determined , yet good hu mored. They wore not great men , with ovortowcring genius , not such a man of brain and brawn ai Harlnn , audit was thought when n really great man should bo put to the front , there would bo euon a scattering as to change the result. Tlio contest began earlv Monday morning , nnd continued unceasing until the clock struck twelve to-night. But tlio ranks of Sherman stood like veterans. Larrabco's friends wavered not , and it was a no- blotributo to each to BCO | such strong devotion to n lender , and in the final defeat of Mr. Larraboo by only ono vote , there is no dishonor , no dispar agement , but an evidence of his popu larity and strength an n public man. It was evident there would bo need of superior skill , firmness and knowl edge of parliamentary rules to guide and control so large a body of men , every one with nerve strung to high est tension. So on the assembling of the convention , lion. Jim Wilson , of 'Taina , the old speaker , wan called to the chair as temporary presiding olll- cor. On. taking tlio gavel lie gave an aside to the reporters' table : 'Boys , I shall bo short , " and said : Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the convention : Before taking the chair I desire to observe that the state of Iowa and tlio whole country has never boon as prosperous as it is today dayApplausol. [ . The republican party In lowu autl in the nation was never in bettor condition or moro Bat- isfactory than it is to-day. This great party was never more popular than now , for it has kept down by the people , and up in their estimation as to honor and devotion to just princi ples and popular free government. [ Applause ] . Gentlemen , what is the pleasure of thin convention 1 Ho was succeeded by Hon. John Y. Stone , of Mills county , also ox- speaker , as permanent presiding olll- cer. Ho made n very neat speech which was heartily applauded. The report of the committee on cre dentials being called for , thitt body failed to respond. There was a wave of sensation rippled across the house , it being known some counties had sent two delegations , while others had proxies substituted for regulars , and the proxies did not propose to vote us would their principals. The committee soon turned up with a roportj in which they lopped off the proxies niFattawottiimie , Lucas , Linn , nnd Monona , and admitted the Larra- bee delegation from Floyd with the statement that there was a minority report somewhere , but they did not know whore. Tlio report was adopted. Sherman's friund ; . saw the point and called for the minority report , but the i chair decided the report was cut oil by the adoption of the majority re port.A . A motion was made by Col. Head , of Greene , to reconsider the vote on the majority report , which was sup plemented by Col. Sapp , of Pottawot- Hinio to lay Head's motion on the ta ble , which Wiu lost on the calling ol the roll. The minority report was road , and considerable time was spun ! in explanation nf how the case got into the convention at all. when Col , John Y. Scott , of Story , moved to indefinitely postpone tin motion , which resulted in (141 ( nyi's , a"2 nays , and this very much to thu surprise of a good many whicli gave first blood to Larrabeo , Then began the contest for gov ernor , nnd the friends of Lnrraboi and Sherman Bottled down to business with tlio mercury at 02 in the shade and every man packed as tight as u fig in a box. On the first informal ballot a delegate from Grumlay count ) arose and declared that ho did not agree with his delegation , which had been instructed to vote tor Sherman , and appealed to the chair aa to hit rights , The chair docidcd lie had the right to have his vote counted aa lu pleased , regardless of instructions and he voted for Larraboo , which wiii aecond blood for the aonato' , . Shor man's boys took a hitch iu thoti chains , knit their teeth , and took i fresh grip on the situation. It bogai to look as though they wore t < bo killed by too much tactics The roll call then won ou with ballot after ballo until the ninth ballot , whoa i motion -was made by a Harlai man to adjourn for supper. Tin Larrabeo , and Sherman men refuioc to adjourn. It WM moved to < ako i ahort rece&s which was also rejected and the delegations Clod out in uquad of rolaya ana got their suppers , whil the Voting went on. When the 12tl ballot WM reached. CanipbelU fore broke away , winch was the nignal foi ft break up. Boone Clintons , Dallai Duvis , DeiMoines , Fremont , Linn , Madison , Mahask , Marshall , Union , Van Huron , Powcshick , Jdhnson Wa- poll , instantly wont over to Shormanj or Larrabco. The whole convention was in an uproar , nnd there was n deafening babel of yells for the oai and oyc of the spoakur. Hats were flying , and handkerchiefs waving , and a thousand of fans savoring the air. The secretaries were overloaded with changes , and the speaker added to the din , with his ponderous gavel , to pro cure order , until ho had pound ed a fine clalor-lablo into splinters. Meanwhile the secretaries gave it up , simply saying that Sherman had beaten - on , which was repeated by the speak er , when Hon. Tom Updcgraff jumped to the top of n chain ntul with lion lungs protested against the declaration of the speaker , and demanded that n now vote ho taken , and that the nom ination bo made in a fair , honorable and honest manner nnd not by a mob. The convention quieted down and the ballot was repeated , resulting in a lack of ono vote to nominate Sherman , when Col. Henderson arose , and in behalf of Mr. Larrabeo moved the unanimous nomination of Sherman , which was seconded by Hon. John Woolson in behalf of Mr. Harlan. A committee wan aont after Mr. Sherman who found him entirely worn out with fatigue , and unable to come. They so reported to the convention , but nt that moment Mr. Sherman turned up , and responded briefly as follows : Mr. President , Ladies and Gentlemen - men of the Convention : I appear before - fore you merely to bow my acknowl edgements for the highest honor that you nave conferred upon me , and to assure you that my gratitude is un bounded and beyond expression. I promise here nnd now , in your pres ence to dovotu my time and such abil ities as I have to the support nnd fur- tlior adoption , if possible , of these glorious principles which you nnd I have avowed , nnd which in the last campaign gave to the people of the United States further assurance of peace and prosperity to all the land. I' ' merely desire to aay further , and especially to those friends who have stood by mo so manfully , that by your conduct nnd by your friendship you hnvo made of mo to you n bankrupt forever , nnd to assure you that from this time foroward I shall endeavor by upright and proper behavior , to merit at least n share of the confidence you have shown in mo by your votes. Gentlemen nf the convention , permit mo once moro to thank you for this most gracious honor , nnd to retire from your presence. The lieutenant govornorsliio was the next place to bo filled. It had been conceded by the best informed men on the ground that Senator Young , of Cass , had the inside track , but ono of the most uncertain things in this world is a political convention. Tlio great battle having been fought nnd won , the forces wore left to go where thoy. listed , nnd tlio gallant young lawyer , of Carroll , found an able support , quite unex pected , to the majority of outlookors. This place , filled by a Ninth district man , the state suporintondency must go eastward. There was no unanim ity of sentiment , and it was only when the roll was called that there was showing a loading for oithur of ' .the candidates , though none had a ma jority of the convention. Prof. Akors , of Linn , was the man. and ta him was given the honor. Col. Abornothy , of Crawford , and Mr. Sabin , of Clinton , withdrawing in his favor. The friends of Judge E. tt. Duflio introduced him in u formal manner to the future consideration of the party , for supreme judge , which the lonvontion accepted by u coniulimoii- ary vote of 32 ! ) , and then nominated Tudgo Adams , of Dubuque , for a second term. It was midnight when Judge Goo. j. Wright , of tlio committee on reso- 'utions , presented the platform : We , thu representatives of the republi can party of Iowa , domain ! of the people if thu Htntu anew their fullest confidence i ml uunpurt bcc.tiixo fof tlio faithfulness of , ho party In thu state nnd in the nation tc party pledged ; because of the magnificent result * it has nchiuvcd in thu line of good government ; becitUHu of the marvellous do- uitton It has Hhown lu support of the Union - ion ; because of its abhorrence of BU\ cry nut polygamy , and of Its succouBful elfin ts .o email the ono nnd of iU purtitstcnl struggle to got rid of the other , mire to gi m to its fund extirpation [ Applause ] ; because < cause of its actho interest in the relief ol ftmgglliu' and oppressed humanity e\cry. whom : became of its determination t < abolish all IneqimlitieH of citi/.eiishlp. tc ijlvuidl men of nil races mid natioimlitlet in this hind tinulity of ciII and political rights ; because of HH efforts to uutabHsl temperance , to educate thu people nnd t lip-build all moral forces ; hccnuso it 1ms been earnest in efforts towards honest am economical government , and lion beer Hvvift to correct abuses when it has dU covered them , because It has stoadilv maintained the financial honor of thu Na tlons , is rnpldly discharging IU j.reat w.xi debt , and fin * inadu the recent liimnda history of the government thu marvel of tin nations ; [ Applause ] because it has protect ed thu labor of the countrj'i nnd built ni Its aariciilUir.il and manufacturing inter tercsts , ami promoted thu means of Inter mil commerce by judicious legislations because It U postttive nnd progressive , am will , in the future aa in the patt , iirovi Its capacity to grapple promptly mul sue Hessfully with o\cry emergency of tlio Na tion , and with every question allecting tin people's Interests ; and finally , became I will Hecnru a complete and lasting unlflim lion of thu country , entire peace and ran cord , uiion btatutu basis of freu schools , frci ballot.
