The republicans of the Ninth Iowa con-
grc slonul district ire still nt sea as to
the hclecUon of a candidate to succeed Hon.
A. L. Unper of Grecnlleld and when , after
casting D2S ballots , an adjournment was
taken yesterday afternoon until 2 o'clock
next Tuesday afternoon , the deadlock In the
convention remained unbroken and the situ
ation Is precisely the same as when the In
formal ballot was taken last Thursday
afternoon. Except for the few ballots yes-
tciday moinlng that the Curtis mon
switched to McPherson , all thu delegations
have stood pat by their Instructions from
first to last , and the convention will go
down as the longest drawn out and hardest
fought political battle In the history nf the
Ninth congressional district. Three days of
constant balloting without effecting any
thing had made the delegates weary , nnd
this , coupled with the extreme heat of yes
terday , which made the convention room a
veritable Turkish bath , caused the motion
to adjourn to next Tuesday to be received ns
a veritable godsend. 1'ollowlng the ad
Journment many of the delegates at once left
for their homes , whllo others hastened over
to Omaha to visit the exposition , nnd the
latter will stay hero until the convention r -
eonvencs , very Ing the caucuses that will beheld
held in the Interval with trips to the Mid
way.
way.With
With four hundred ballots recorded with
out a break In the situation , the Ninth Iowa
congressional convention reaise'mbled yes
terday morning shortly after 9 o'clock
and at once settled down to the
work of voting once more. There was
a general feeling of expectancy that some
thing was going to drop , and after
the -1J4U1 ballot had been cast and
counted , the first break In the dead
lock took place. It came from the
Curtis delegitlon , which swung twelve of Its
votes to the candidate from Montgomery
county , amidst the wildest cnthuslsm from
the supporters of Smith McPherson. Chair
man Conslgney of the Pottawattamle dele
gation jumped to his feet , and with up
lifted hand tried to head off the applause
as Heading Clerk Everest announced the
435th ballot as follows : Byers , 48 ; Hager ,
39 , McPherson , 24 ; Curtis , 1. He failed ,
however , to fctop the rooting , which con
tinued for several minutes unabated , and
for a time It looked as If the deadlock would
at last be snapped and the convention suc
ceed In malting a nomination. But it did
not , and the balloting continued right along
without any further change until the 171st
ballot had been announced , when John V.
Stone secured the attention of Chairman
Patrisk , who was busily engaged mopping
the perspiration from his brow , nnd moved
that the convention take a recess for thirty
minutes , which can led 'without the formal
ity of a roll call by counties.
Our Motion O vrloukcil.
Previous to the break In the Cass county
delegation , u little diversion had been In-
Jetted into the proceedings by Delegate .
Garclnet from Audubon , making a motion
that If by 11 o'clock the convention failed
to make a nomination , an adjournment be
taken to one week from next Tuesday nt
Atlantic. Chairman Patrick evidently failed
to notice that the motion received a second
nnd failed to put it and amid considerable
confusion the balloting was resumed and
the man irom Audubon dropped back Into
his seat and proceeded to fan himself vigor
ously In a vain attempt to cool off after his
llttlo exertion.
The court room was oppressively hot and
the delegates , discarded coats , and some of
them their vests , while frequent trips were
made to and from the table where the big
pitchers with iced wntei were placed.
The recess brought no alteration in the
voting and at the close of the 475th ballot
John Y. Stone of Glenwood once more took
the floor and moved an adjournment until
1 JO o'clock In the afternoon. The Byers men
yelled "no , " and Chairman Patrick on putting -
ting the motion said bo was unable to dc-
clile and a roll call by counties was called
for. As the counties were called the Byers
delegations came to the conclusion that au
adjournment after all was probably the best
thing under the circumstances , and fell in
line with the motion , which was carried
unanimously , and with n yell that would
have done the Indians nt present gathered
nt the exposition proud the convention
stood adjourned.
CIIIIIMINI-H of > o Avail.
On adjournment a number of caucuses
were held nnd a strong effort was made to
induce the Hager men to go to McPherson
nnd for n while , there was the belief that
Mills nnd Audubon would during the after
noon change their votes to the candidate
from Montgomery , but later developments
showed that the combination could not be
brought off. Toi some reason or another
the twelve men on the Curtis delegation
who had gone over tn McPherson felt ag
grieved at something and during the inter
val before the aftcinoon threatened to go
back to their candidate for whom they were
Instructed. Strong pressure was brought to
bear on the Pott.iwattamlo delegates to
break from Byers , but they were loyal and
refused to listen to the voice of the siren
Some of them were undoubtedly only too
anxious to make a break either for Hage
or McPherson , but were held In line by th <
others. From the best sources It becami
apparent that tha afternoon session was
unlikely to produce itny change in the situa
tlon and that an adjournment to next week
would result
If the convention will come to order we
will take up this burden of life once more , '
remarked Chaltman Patrick as ho assumed
the gavel on reassembling at 130 o'clock In
tlio afternoon , "and for the 47Cth time , 1
thcro Is no objection , the clerk will cat
the roll , " In accordance with the threa
they had made the Cass county delegates
switched back to Curtis , nnd the result o
the ballot brought the \oto back to when
It started Thursday on the Informal 1ml
lot. With n wan smllo Chairman Patrick
stated that he hoped there would bo n' '
more ballots like that , as It made th
reading clerk stutter , but this llttlo sally
vnt unnoticed.
Tlu tl ennometer as the 480th ballot wa
cast and recorded showed the temperature
In the convention room to bo 96 degree
and the delegates and spectators were per
spiring freely. To vary the monotony o
calling for the 481st ballot , Clerk Everes
read the counties In reverse order , com
menclng at Shelby , but the result was th
snmo nnd so it continued until 500 ballot
had been cast.
Adjourn Till
At this point John Storey of Adalr brok
the monotony of the proceedings by makln.
n little speech prefacing a motion to ad
Journ the convention to meet next Tuesda
morning at 10 o'clock at Red Oak. D , B"
Miller from Montgomery promptly moved a
amendment to adjourn to Atlantic at th
same time , but neither proposition me
with fiver from the Byert contlnge/.t an
Chairman Cnnnliny ot the PotUwaUamlti
cnrrlco the day by a motion In lay the mat
ter on the table1.
The balloting vvai then resumed until the
C2Glh bqllot had been cast , when Uclegata
Crlizrll of Guthrle moved nn adjournment
to 2 o'clock TucpcMy afternoon In Council
Blurro. This caused D. B. Mlllrr of Mont-
noracry to take the floor apnln with nn
nmcndnjcnt that the convention adjourn nt
4 o'clock to meet again In Council Bluffs
Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. On roll call
by counties b6ltlg demanded , the nmend-
incut carried by aotc of 92 to 20 , Audubon
nnd Guthrle and one delegate from Cass
voting against It.
The 527th billet had barely been recorded
hen Delegate Grlzzell of Guthile was on
he floor again demanding the nttontlon
f the convention. This tltnp ho moved that
recess of twenty mlnutcu be tnl > cn anil on
he motion being put Chairman Patrick
ulcd that It was curried. The Byeis men
U'inanded n roll call nnd the vote stood
fi for nnd TO against , Adnlr , Cass , Guthrle ,
tills and Montgomery voting for the recess
, nd Audubon , Harrison , Pottawattamlo nnd
Shelby against. A tie vote under ordinary
Ircumstnnccs Is that the motion Is lost , but
Chairman Patrick holding that the call by
ountles was practically an appeal from his
decision , held that the motion was carried
nd a recess for twenty minutes was taken.
On reassembling the f > 28th ballot was taken
t 3 o'clock nnd the situation icinalned un
hanged. It was apparent that the dclc-
; ates were becoming restive nnd many of
hem disgusted , nnd when Delegate Grlz-
: cll of Guthrle again rose to his feet nnd
: noved that a recess again bo taken until 4
D'clock there was little If any opposition
nd the motion prevailed nnd the conven-
lon practically stood adjourned , although
.he chairman and secretary had to bo on
ho scene at 4 o'clock nnd officially declare
: o the empty benches that the convention of
.he Ninth congressional district of Iowa
teed adjourned until 2 o'clock Tuesday oft-
rnoon.

awattamle county held yesterday to elect

.o attend the state convention of the party ,
which meets at Marshalltown September 6 ,
and the judicial and congressional convcn-
lens , which will be held In this city next
Thursday. August 23 , proved n very tame
affair indeed No enthusiasm , oven of the
mildest form , was manifested In the pro
ceedings and the attendance was of the
slimmest. The convention was hold In the
Jlstrlct court room across the hall from
where the republicans of the Ninth con
gressional district were fighting out their
battle , and when F. A. Blxby , the city's
chief of police and chairman of the demo-
ratlc county central committee , called the
ilclegates to order there was hardly a cor
poral's guard present and that was com
posed in the main of the members of the
polieo force and employes In the different
city departments.
W. Brooks Reed , city trcasuier , was
named as temporary chairman nnd George
E. U. Hunter ns secretary. The following
were appointed as a committee on creden
tials : C. J. Dobbins , Sam Underwood and
W. W. Cones , and on motion of Colonel
A. T. Whlttlesey , who said ho know some
thing about the time It took for a creden-
lals committee to do its work , nn adjourn
ment was taken until 1:30 : In the afternoon.
On reassembling in the afternoon the tem
porary organization was made- permanent
and the convention got down to the bus-
ness in hand. The committee on creden-
lals repoited that all the delegates In at
tendance were duly accredited and the re
port was adopted and then the following
committee was appointed to select and re
port three sets of delegates : Adam Ring ,

At the last state democratic convention a
resolution was adopted conferring on the
executive committee of each county the
power to appoint the commltteemen from the
various pieclncts. This Is not altogether
favored by the country 16-to-l men and the
appointment of this committee was the
only thing In the convention that caused the
slightest ripple. Some of the delegates were
In favor of curtailing the power' of this
committee and after some discussion on the
matter a lesolutlon to the effect that In the
future the executive committee recognize the
commltteemen recommended by the various
precincts was carried. The executive cora-
mlttco was named as follows : Judge W. C.
James , Council Bluffs , chairman ; W , H.
Ware , Council Bluffs , seciotary ; J. W. Hem-
sted , Carson ; Dr. S. B. Toby , Oakland , and
Alderman J. B. Atkins , Council Bluffs.

Some of the "faithful" were of the opinion
that Chairman Blxby had been a llttlo too
hasty In Uiulug a call for the county con-
viotloa to be btld la September , M Uey
thought It would be best to wait nnd first
ece whom thp republicans would nominate
for the different county ofllccs nnd cut their
doth accordingly. Finally n motion pro-
ailed to po-ttpono thu county convention
mtll sonic date after the icpubllcan conven
tion , which has not ) et been called by
Bounty Chairman Frank Everest.
The formality of appointing a committee
on resolutions was dispensed with , It being
lecldcJ to leave this work for the regular

News from the southern part of Iho penin
sula Is that the rebel Indians nro taking ex
traordinary measures to prevent Informa
tion regarding their conditions and state of
military preparation reaching the whites.
Any Indian suspected of hetra > lng tribal
secrets Is promptly condemned. Several per
rons who have tried to penetrate thu wilder
ness where the Indians nro modi numerous
have never returned. Among them were a
number of Chinese tiadere nnd Turkish
merchants. The Indians trade actively with
IlrltUli colonists of Bcllse , but will glva
them no Information regarding their num
ber nnd military strength. Fellp Ake , who
was their thief , has recently had to lice
for his life with his family , the Indians
having become suspicious of hla wishing to
make peace. It U probable the government
will undertake n vigorous campaign to bring
them under control.

I thank you , worshipful burgomaster for
your kind word * . I urn not a stronger to
jour city. When hero as a boy 1 con
ceived Ideas similar to those jou have just
expressed. The holy Roman eroplre of the
Gorman peoples fell because it was not built
on a national foundation. Its decadence was
duo to lack of patriotism and cohesion. The
Geiimui empire of today arose out of a
strongly felt need ot union and of n com
mon head and It reared Itself on the basis
of love ot futherland. I am flimly deter
mined to servo with nil my strength the
work of my grandfather and that peace
which la so dear to us. This I shall only
bo ublo to do If wo succeed in maintaining
our prestige with our neighbors. To this
end tha harmony nnd co-operation of all
the German race and nil German indi
viduals in necessary.
I rejoice to see how beautifully Maycnco
has grown. You may to assured I will
always feel a warm Interest In your future
nnd shall do In your behalf all that lies
In my power so that jou may be able un-
Intoiruptcdy to live In civil concord , con
duct your trndo and to cultivate jour vine-
yards.
I shall alvvajs bo mindful of the fact that
It was from the house of my dear eousln ,
where I am cov , n guest , that my grand
father started on his westward march dur
ing which , with a firm hammer stroke , ho
v.elded thu German empire. I thank you
foi your friendly reception and for these
beautiful decorations I beg also to thank
you , my follow citizens ! "
Emperor William then shook hands with
the burgomaster amid the cheers of the mul
titude and rode off tn the reviewing ground.
Considerable excitement won caused hero
this evening by the arrest of flvo French
