The Illinois Central grade was older than

Nevertheless , It wu < almost entirely washed

Mr Hender oc of lo\va made an earnest
appeal to the gentleman from Texas to with
draw his objection and to permit the com

th'i memory of the grand commander of the
army. Unless this clause were allowed to
stand the army of the Tennessee would nave
no spot in the district where it could erect a
statue to General Sherman. Speaking for
that armv UP appealed to the only body that
could trivo it a site. Here alone was the
power lodged. If it were denied , the luteu-
tiou of the armv of the Teuuesboo was de
feated. He trusted that the gentleman would
withdraw his tioiut of oraer.
But Mr. ICiigorc , while paving tribute to
the courage , ability and patriotism of Gen

point. The rules of the house should bo en

bhoula be provided for in an orderly manner.

of Ireatiury notes tinder the existing silver
law iu payment for bullion with wcich to
mint souveuir coins. One hundred thousand
dollars instead of fTO ! > , ( iOJ as propoiod in the
original measure is appropriated for niadals

After explaining the provisions of ins
souvenir bill. Mr. St. Clair Baid that what
ever may have baen the premises and state
ments made before the fair was located ,
was the fact that the city of Chicago and
congress blood in the relation of parties to a
coatracl. The corporation was in u crippled
condition nnd it was just as much a govorn-
meut institution us n municipal one. In the
local directory he knew that without abso
lutely tolling out the exposition they could
not raise ibe 7..VJO , < lOJ required unless the
government aided ltro movomfnl. It was a
different story and plenty of persons could
bo found who would Jie interested for the
purpose of controlling it They would make
money out of It , evon'if it were made a local
Ebow. The government had fixed the hcopo
of the exposition , ana if the corporatinii could
not entry it out the public here ana in for
eign countries wouttf boiujured and disap

Siori CITY , la. . May 20. ( Special to THE
Bnn.J There has just dcvoloptia n po'itiral '
movotnent whicli is exciting distrust among
the republicans of lown. It Is a plan to use
the republican club organization to further
the purposes of the a'ltl-Hamsou boshes in
Ibo Minneapolis convention. There was or
ganized several weeks ago nt DCS Molnes
"Tho lon-n Republican club " It was to bo
composed nt picked republican * trotu
different localities iu the stale It
was given out that Ihe purpose ol Ihe
club was to aid the party in the campaign ,
liut it appeared that the most uctlve work
was to bo done ut the Minneapolis conven
tion , which tbo club was to attend in n body ,
having a uniform , headquarters , bands aud
othei machinery for active operations The
membership of Iho club was to bo restricted
to 4UJ and Chairman Clarkson of the republi
can national committee was to accompany it
to Minneapolis it was quiolly staled tunt
ho would mte to it that the members should
secure admission to the convention hull
OrcHulrnci to right lliirriMin.
Latterly , however , numerous circum
stances have nris-on suggesting tnal sumo of
ihe.promoters of the Iowa Republican club
ore mainly Intuut ou OPDU null-Harrison
manipululious. Tbo prime mover lu Iho or
ganization bus baoa Mujor A. W. Claucey
of DUE iMomus. au old ttmo L'larkson etriker.
Ho has gone from town to town making up a
list of members therein. He is a blrunuous
anti-Harmon man. Wherexer be has pone
be has been lalkmp Blame , in public und in
urivutc. und arguing that the republicans of
lowaaio tor Bluine in tpite 01 nib letter of
withdrawal. Ho has also been endeavoring
to create u boom for HUSK for president
with boms eiu-lorn man lor vice president
Thib is exactly the plan w hicn
Clarktou ay.uinptod to carrv" out through
his paper , the Des Monies Kegibter , before
the Iowa repubhcaiib held their , convention
Tlio ICngibtor frantically ureed that the re
publican convention ghoulo mstruri for
Bluiiio in bpil ? ol bib letter This hcheme ,
howexor , was abortive , as it was bton to b-s
luilhing uul n ciouk for 'Clarunon'h hostilny
to Harnaon. The republican prass sal down
upon the proposition and Clarkson himself
had d uanow escape from being defeated Jor
clelegate-at-laige ; in fact , he goes as u dele
gate purely by surteruuce , lor had the friends
ot General Harrison lifted a linpor against ,
him he would huvo brou o\erwhulmlngly de
feated in the convention. Some of the dis
trict conventions actually instructed their
delegates to the national convention , al-
Ihough the" delepiitos-at-large were uum-
blructed. Il wi.b buknowlodgoj ou all bunds
that the Kri-timent of the party was dli-
linctly for General HarriBOn
ins u Sciirtur Thut Will Nut V orlt.
Il was not uutil a few weeks azo tual Iho
unti-Hjrrisou intrigue was actually begun.
Tno purpose oviuently WUB to organi/o H
crowd which could Ut ) mnnipmuiud by the
magic name of Blame , so thut , Iho Iowa dele
gation could be coerced u.ntl inado submlbive
to the biihests of Clurk on Clnncey , ihe
promoter of the club , is well calculated for
thib sort of woi k. he has fur uiuuy years
been a notorious lobbyist ut Dos Moltie * . He
is the western agent ot th'a American School
Book cornpanv and there are no tricks in
whii-h he is not im adi-pt His pruminencc
iu ibis cluu IP exceedingly dlblahteftil tc
many republicans , nor will i hey permit thie
scheme to no carried out at Minneapolis If
it is atlemptod tbeic will be an old-fashioned
row within the club , which wi.1 destroy any
ehaijce that thcri u.ay have been of I'.b
EUfcess.
Tbo republicans of Iowa have no sympathy
with the anti-Harrison cabal , in which they
believe Clurkson to imvoJiud jiart , although
he bus literally covered hfoilmud as much us
possible. Tbo rfpublicau.xontimeut in this
state is ovorw helmlnplv for Harrison. They
Know that Blame oy ln own hand is out oC
the race , and t ha' ' the ganp ot disgruntled
auti-Harriboii tiojses are onlv making use of
