Botn.il * of the
Yesterday was the most exciting
one , politically , which lias gene on
record hero for years. The congrov
eionnl convention , instead of proving
a boom for Major Anderson , giving
ilm the promised unanimouH nominn-
.ion by acclamation , should ibclf to
bo compoHod of 'M for Anderson and
! ! 5 against him.
The day was opont , from 11 o'clock
till after < i , in a strong fight to break
the DO , but they stuck together
closely , and with their mnjority of ono
defeated every measure by which it
was attempted to select some candi
date more to the people's liking.
An _ attempt was inado to got the
convention to follow the precedent of
the national and state conventions in
abolishing the unit rule and the obli
gatory nature of instructions. All
thcso attempts wore defeated by the
majority of one.
Major Anderson succeeded by the
same majority in securing the nomi
nation , but it was oven with this
scanty mnjority obtained only after a
long foui'ht battle. At iti close ,
when defeat waa certain , more or loss
of the opposition acquiesced , and the
nomination was formally mndo by
acclamation , though not unanimoua.

TUB DETAILS OI' THK IJOIMIS !
Mr. Arthur Graves , of Crawford ,
called thi ) convention to order and
called upon Hon. W. M. Lewis , ul

expressed the uniml thanks and pledged
limself to preside with fairness to nil.
llo called attention to the impor-
, anca of the duty befoio the convon-
, ion , and announced that the nominee ,
whoever ho might be , would bo the
jno elected to represent the district.
Whoever that nominee should bo he
hould receive the united support oi
all.

A motion to adjourn until 2 o'clock
in the afternoon waa made. The An
durson faction endeavored to have i
amended so as to take H brief reccs
only , of fifteen minutes. Thisnxcitoc
n lively debate , especially between 0
II. Scott and Wm. Halo , of Mill
county. The former naked for fai
play , and could see no reason fo
rushing the business through. I
looked as if there was some purpos
in this press , Mr. Halo thought tlm
the business could bo transacted before
fore dinner , and the delegates couli
take the afternoon trains. Mr. Soot
replied that if the business could bo
done so quickly , there would bo
plenty of time between 2 and-1 o'clock

tight-box Into which Mr. Halo wa
put.G .
G , F. Meyers , of Crawford , favoroi

ing that there was no need of n rush
and that it wft bettor to wait unti

would all feel better. It had caused
much dissatisfaction once before b ,
pressing action , mid it had coat th
party many votes ,

was called for , followed by a call for i
vote by counties , A vote was takei

ing a recess for fifteen minutes.

WASTK ! ) TO AUJOl'KX ,
Lafo YomlR , of The Atlantic Toln-
, raph , made a upoech in favor of
wrty harpiony and submitting to u
imjority. Some iiad felt that there
! md been undue luistu in calling the
convention. The primaries were
called at a time when farmers wor
: oo busy to attend. Ho staled that
.hoy were willing to abide by the de
cision of the convention , but they
ouulit to bo given n fair chance , and
lo'thoroforo renewed the motion to
adjourn until 2 o'clock.
Mr. Tom InRalla , of Audubon , ob
jected and insisted that the farmers
n his section had not raised any howl
about the calling of the convention in
, lie busy season.
William Converse , of Pottawattamio ,
thought that Ingalls know nothing
about forming. The farmers did ob
ject to this way of a clique trying to
irowd the "clod-hoppers" in and
ivhip them around at their leisure.
Mr. llulu declared that two pf the
Mills county delegates were big fur-
incra , and they pronounced the time
of calling the convention as convcn-
'ont aa any. There was no just causa
'or complaint.
Mr. O. R. Scott pave an earnest
speech in favor of fair play , und earn
estly declared that the minority had
tsked nothing unreasonable , and
should noc bo forced to put on braon
collars and bccomo slaves.
A roll call resulted in the defeat of
the motion to adjourn , the vote being
ayes 01 , noes 37 , ono from Crawford
county changing to no.
TIM : UNIT nuLu.
Major Lynmii , of Pottawattamio ,
declared that it seemed that the min
ority to which he belonged were not
to bo allowed any righto. Ho should
stand by the final action of the con
vention aa a loyal republican , but ho
thought that such action should bo
fair , free and fully above board. He
called attention to the action of the
national republican convention , de
claring that delegates had the right to
cast their votes us the immediate cir
cumstances led .him to believe to be
best , inspection of instructions. The
Iowa state convention had" endorsed
this as true republican doctrine. Hon.
Jno.Y. Stoneprcsidcd at that time and
gave that aa his decision. Ho asked
tlmt the convention piss a resolutior
to the same effect , adopting the precedent
codont set by the national and staU
conventions , giving each delegate thi
right to vote hia preference , wlmlovei
they might be. When that was done ,
ho na a member of the minority woult
abide by that decision. Ho did nol
want the "gag kw" sprunpt.
Mr ; Lyman thun rend the resolution
doing iiwny with the obligation of del
egatoa to follow instructiona. He
moved its adoption ,
Mr. Halo claimed that the only ac
tion of the national convention wai
that it had nothing to do with the
matter of instructions , it being foi
dolcpato and his constituents to settle ,
Ho raised a point of order that the
convention had no jurisdiction eve :
the matter.
ggluT.tliryant , of Casa , explained hit
views of the action taken in regard t (
instructed delegates.
Mr. T. R. Stockton , of Fromonl
county , took the oth r side and urpot
that the convention could not roleasi
the delegates from their instructions
That must bo loft to the delegates tt
decide individually. lie was chosen t
delegate because ho favored u curtail
man , If ho felt suru that the major
ity of hia county were n uinnt thi1
man , ho would fuel juntiiiod nt diaro
garding instructions.
Lnfo Vaunt ; favored Mnjor Lyinnn' :

notion , in giving bolter antisfnction
The responsibility of oh"o in ( . n gooi
candidate vested upon ilic dologuh's
und not upon thoau who ww\ \ them t <
the convention und instatetd them
Tliesu instructions had born luiatil ;
worked up and framed. All that In
naked was that delegates bo ullowc *
to vote exactly aa they desired aa in
dividunls.
Mr , 0 , R. Scott enid tint it wae i
rule in all Christian countries to givi
n man a chance to bo hoard before hi
was executed. The majority here
however , did not seem disposed to lethe
the minority say oven their prayers
Ho reviewed the notion of the nntionn
convention with tolling effect , am
calling forth much applause , Hi
summed up Judge Stockton's um
Mr , Halo's speeches as being simpl ;
that they thought that the rusolutioi
was a good thing , except in this par
ticuhxr convention. If Judge Stock
ton would put his viowa , ns spoken
into n written resolution , hovonli
vote for it , If Judge Stockton mean
what ho caid on thu floor , ho must , t
bo true to himaolf , vote for the rcsu
lutton.
/ T , Fisher thought the convention
tion should wait until aomo delegate
asked to bo relieved from their in
structlons. No power on earth out
side of Montgomery county could re
Hevu its delegates of obligations.
Mr. Converse , of Pottawattamie
spoke in favor of the resolution ,
Mr. J. 0 , Adams urged the conven
tiou follow the acknowledged prcce
cnl of the party , and adopt the reso-
ution.
The chairman decided that if , in the
filling of the roll for votes , any dele
gate desiring to bo rnltoved from his
nstructions , could so state , and vote
s ho pleased , but the point of order
taken by Mr. Ilalo was well taken ,
nd the resolution was out of order.
C. R , Scott appealed , and Major
jymsn insisted that the vote bo taken
> y individual ballots , instead of by
ountios , and any delegate objecting
o the vote announced by the chair-
nan of the delegation , could so record
its vote.
Lafo Young insisted that on a ques >
ion of appeal the members present
nly could vote , and none could vote
n that question by proxy ,
Mr. Halo denied this rule ,
Lnfo Young urged the chairman to
ulfill the pledge made on his taking
lie chair , to decide questions fairly.
0. It. Scott urged that the rule cited
> y Lafe Yount { was the one followed
n all legislative bodies , as thn chair-
nan must know.
Jud o Stockton declared that con-
ontions and legislatures were dilfcr-
ntly organizud. The county v.-ns the
mnllest constituency ever recognized
n thece conventions.
Mr. Fisher moved to lay the appeal
n the table , the vote to bo taken by
ountica
Life Yountr declared an appeal
ould not bo thus summarily dealt
with.
with.Major Lyman desired to have the
oto on the motion of tabling taken
ly nn individual cill of dole-
; atcs , rather than by counties , and so
uovcd.
Mr. Halo raised a point of order
.gainst this last motion.
Lafe Young insisted that the appeal
nust bo considered before any buni-
less or motion could bo entertained.
l'ho chair ruled that the motion to lay
ho appeal on the table was in order
ind took precedence , and that Maier
jyman'a lost motion was out of order ,
t not being an amendment to Mr ,
fisher's motion. Mr. Lyman then
moved an amendment , but i' was
tiled out of order.
Mr. Halo charged that the minority
ras seeking delay.
Many voices "Not true , not truo. "
Mr Halo attempted to talk and
Air.Ly [ man having the floor insisted
on addressing the chair. There was
some confusion , and when order waa
restored the chair ruled Major Ly-
nan's amendment in order , but Mr.
'J.a\o ' \ insisted on that vote being taken
roll call of countion.
A vote on Major Lymnn's amend
ment was taken viva voce , nnd de
clared lost. Lnfo Young called for
.ho ayes and nayci on Mr. Fisher's
motion. A vote w s taken on Lifo
Young's request though it was n
notion , and declared lost. Mr. Young
nsisted that it was not n motion. Mr.
13ryant wanted to know if the dele-
jatca were to be clubbed out of their
rights.
The vote on Fisher's motion to lay
the appeal on the table was i.ikcu by
counties , resulting aa follows : Ayca
37 , nays 31.
Mr. Halo moved that the conven-
.ion proccod to the nomination of u
candidate by counties.
Mr. Scolt moved to adjourn one
lour. This motion was carried by
nyea 30 , nays I5. !
AlTKIl THE UECESS.
On the convention being called tc
order after the recess , the motion o
Mr. Halo , to proceed to a formal bal
lot for nominee for congress , the vote
to bo taken by counties , carried.
G. Fred Meyers presented the name
of. Mr. Tabor , as the choice of Craw
ford county.
Mr. Lcdovick named Cyrus Bean
as a candidate for Shelby county.
Mr. Melvin Nichols , ot Audubon ,
presented the name of Major Ander
son. Mr. Hale seconded it in bohall
of Mills county.
Mr. Bryant , of Casa county , pro
sotitcd the name of A. S. Churchill.
ClUUOKS AOAINST ANDKHSON.
Mr. 0. R. Scott then addressed the
convention , beginning by quoting "A
charge to keep I have , a God to glo
rify. " lie urged that it was the dutj
of every republican to keep the skirtt
of the republican party pure. It tool
grit sometimes for a man to speak hie
mind , but ho fancied that ho had gri
enough to do it. As for Pattawatto
mio county , it had no candidate. Hat
every man had a fair expression o
opinion Hon. J. F , Reed would havi
boon that candidate , and no poworcouh
havodofoatod him. JudgoReodhad tolc
Ins frienua that ho would not cutci
any unseemly contract , but if hi
friends supported him ho would allen
his name to bo usad. The convention
by applying the gag-rulo , had barroc
out Judge Rood , The speaker said he
arose to second the nomination of Mr
Churchill , because that gentleman wni
not guilty of giving n bond to substan
tlato hi'i promise to give a poatollicc
to u man in his own county. The
man whom the convention was bourn
lo nominatu by gag lule hud cntcrci
into u bond of § 1,000 to give acartnii
postodico in Fremont county , his owr
county , to a man for his support
That bond could bo pioduced , if th <
convention insisted on the proof. I
the convention insisted on nomiimtin ,
such a man , let thuin do it ,
It was stated that these charge
weuld bo mot in duo time ,

A ballot'jwaa called and resulted ai
follows ;

Mr. Wilkinson , of Crawford , with
drew the name of Charles Tabor ant
moved that Major Anderson bo nominated
natod by acclamation. This was seconded
ended by several and carried with en
thuaiaam , but not unanimously , thor
being several who voted no.
15. T , Kimball and Major Lyrnai
wore appointed a committee to brin
Major Andorsoibefoio the convon
tion. Ho appeared , and was recoivoc
with applause , and made an carnes
speech , thanking the convention fo
the honor , and accepting the eame. II
disclaimed all mulico toward the op
position , denied the charges mad
against him and pointed to his wi
record as n refutation. He claims
that ho was the bst granger and th
strongest anti-monopolist of any of th
candidates who had striven for th
position. Ho pledged himself to lool
after the interests of the working pea
pie. Ho said ho was not and hat
never been friendly to railway mon
opolies. Railways must be regulated ,
nnd ho more than over realized that
such control was nectjsary , and
pledged himself that the farmers
would find in him a friend no matter
what was eaid about his record as a
railway commissioner. The rail
ways were able to take
are of themselves. Ho _ closed
> y repeating that the convention had
ouchcd him deeply , and stirred him
irofoundly by its action , and his
ricnds shall never bo obliged to blusher
or him. Ho invited the old soldiers
nto full membership , and as to those
who had opposed him ho wanted theme
o feel that in him they would have a
eprcscntativc , and ho should not lay
ip any malice against them. Ho sot
us own majority at 3,000 to 4,000 , in
Ill's district.
At the close of his speech the con-
ontion proceeded to the selection of
lie following committee :
Audubon Charles Van Gordon :
Cass-J. D. Willy.
Crawford Abner Graves.
Fremont A. D. King.
Harrison I. Schofield.
Mills-M. II. JJyer.
Montgomery - Frank Ellis.
I'ottawnttnmia George F. Wright.
Shelby-Neil Pratt.
The committee on resolutions pro-
onted thn following report , which was
dopted by what few delegates still
oinaincd after the scattering for the
rains which followed the cloao of the
nomineo'a speech. After theadoptiou
f thcso adjournment waa taken :
Till ! I'LATrOllM.
The republicans of the Ninth con-
; rcnsional districtin convention as-
lemblcd , adopt the following dcclara-
ion of principles for the guidance of
ho representative nominated to-day :
First Our sympathies are with the
vorkingmcn , a majority of whom
mvo always been members of the ro-
mblican party , and wo advise that
dd bo given by the. national govern-
n out , by establishing industrial or
lolytcchnic schools in the several
states , so that by greater skill higher
compensation may bo attained ; the
establishment of n national bureau of
abor ; the establishment of savings
) ank depositories in connection with
.he postal service ; that the tariff
cgislation may bo no shaped aa to ad
vance American labor , und that all
axes on the necessaries of life bo ro-
novod as speedily us possible ; every
measure calculated to establish just
and harmonious relations between
employer and employed will receive
our cordial approval.
Second In view of the fact that the
railway system hoe within a few yeara
expanded to enormous proportions ,
the legislating power of regulation
must necessarily be invoked alike for
the protection of tha public against
combinations and discriminations , and
wo hero proclaim that every suggca-
tioti calculated to open railways on
equal and just terms for the benefit oi
thb public und die government , with-
oi't impairing private rights , will mcol
with pur cordial approval.
Third Wo most earnestly depre
cate the refusal of the Iowa "pool1
lines to expedite the govornmeni
mails between Chicago and Counci
Blufl'j , which constitutes a just griev
ance to the people of western Iowa
and wo heaitato not to invoke the ful
of the executive and of the
Eower to compel a compliance
with such reasonable demand , baaec
upon imperative necessity , and in
harmony with commercial demands.
Fourth That we demand appro
priations for the improvement ot the
Mississippi and Missouri rivers , and a
general system of internal improvements
monts on an intelligent and a libera
basis.
Fifth The past record of the re
publican party proves that it has ovei
been engaged in the intelligent con
sideration of such measures as tended
to the removal of obstacles to the ad
vancement of the happiness and wel
fare of the citizens , and in meeting
the now and more difficult duties ol
the hour it to the
, appeals cooperation
tion and counsel of every good citizens.
