Shelby County Candidate's Followers Make

The gcneinl opinion li that vhen the
Ninth congrestlonnl district convention re
assembles thin afternoon tlio deadlock will
bo broken .vnd that n nomination will bo
effected. The belief > esturda ) ' wan that the
.nomination . would 'fall 'to ' either Myers or
Mcl'herson , the supporters of both these
candidates being equally confident of win
ning out before the convention would take
another adjournment. Speaker Byers , who
spent Sunday nt home , arrived from Har-
Inn yesterday morning nnd put In the
greater part of the day with his lieutenants
and the leading members of the Pottawnt-
j T'
; tamlo delegation. Byers nnd his friends
feel ) exceptionally sanguine and say there
Is no doubt now but ho will be nominated.
13. D. Brown , who has been one of the most
active of Mr. Myers' supporters , stated yes
terday that he expected the candidate from
Shelby county to be nominated on the second
end ballot. Although ho declined to give
his reasons It Is understood ho bases his
expectation on the assurance that since the
adjournment Saturday Byers has secured n
number of proxies from Hager delegates
who do not expect to bo back when the
convention reassembles. Hnger men say
the Hnger delegations will be In attend
ance to a man. The Byers men claim four
teen of the Hnger delegates , whose second
choice has been McPherson , will , when the
break from Hager takes place , go to Byers
Instead of to the candidate from Montgom-
eiy county nnd they will give him the
nomination nnd leave him votes to spare.
This Is denied both by the Hager and Mc
Pherson men.
Since the adjournment the McPherson and
Curtis forces have adjusted their little dif
ferences and on the first ballot this after
noon the delegates from Cass county will
cast their votes for the Red Oak man. There
Is also strong talk of Hager throwing his
strength to McPherson nnd If he does the
reinitiation of the Montgomery candidate Is
assured. A strong effort has been made to
Induce tht > Pottawattamle delegation to
agree to go to McPherson In the event
Bytrs cannot be nominated this afternoon ,
but it is understood no assurances could
be got.
Since the adjournment Saturday consider
able discussion has been gains on as to
how long delegates are bound by their In
structions. Old newspaper files containing
the reports of former conventions have
been diligently searched and It appears
that on July 30 , 1880 , the Pottawattamlo
county republican convention unanimously
adopted the following resolution : "Re
solved , That the delegates from Pottawat
tamlo county to the congressional conven
tion bo and arc hereby Instructed to vote
flist , last and all the Jmo for Colonel W.
F. Sapp ns our candidate for representa
tive and that they use all honorable
means to secure his nomination. "
It appears that notwithstanding these In
structions on August 17 , 1880 , * at the con
gressional convention on the 243d ballot ,
John W. Chapman , Spencer Smith and Major
E. A. Conslgney , chairman of the Potta-
wattamle delegation In the present conven
tion , left Colonel Sapp , although he had at
the time. If they voted for him , fifty-three
votcfa , of which thirty-eight were from outside -
side this county , nnd he was then within
four votes of the nomination.
The advocates of a break In the local
delegation nro good naturedly Insisting that f
the genial major from the east end should
bo satisfied with the precedent established
by himself nnd not continue to hold the club
of "Instructions" over the heads of other
members of the delegation who are ready to
climb Into the band wagon of the man from
Montgomery county.
Major H. G. Curtis of Atlanta and several -
eral of the Cass county delegates arrived
lust night , as did Major E. A. Conslgney of
Avoca , chairman of the Pottawattamle
county delegation.
Among the rumors floating around last
night was one that the name of C. M. Harl
would be presented to the convention after
a few ballots had been cast this afternoon ,
by the Harrison county delegates. Anotheri
iwas that Hon. John N. Baldwin of this
city might possibly be sprung as a dork
horse. . , Although It Is generally 'believed
that the convention will moke a nomination
today , no definite Information was obtain-
nblo last night as to any particular deal
In this direction having been made.

.MiiUrrx Arc I.nlil Over.
The city council met In adjourned session
last evening for the express purpose of tak
ing action on the resolution providing for
the paving of u number of streets nnd ave
nues. Since the publication of the resolu
tion a largo number of petitions and re
monstrances from Interested property own
ers had been received and the matter was.
after considerable discussion , laid over to
next Monday night.
The petitions nnd re
monstrances were all referred to the com
mittee of the whole , which will meet
Wednesday evening and listen to whatever
any of the property owners affected by the
resolution have to say. The committee will
then report at the meeting next Monday
night.
The following communication from Hon.
J. E. E. Markley of the Iowa Exposition
commission and chairman of the committee
on ceremonies for Iowa day at the Trans-
mlsslsslppl Exposition was referred to a
special committee of the maor and Alder
men Shubert , Casper and Mctcnlf :
"Dear Sir : The Omaha exposition Is a
pronounced success , second only in beauty
and size to the World's Columbian exposi
tion. All Iowa people will desire to pay a
visit to tbe fair before It closes In October.
The different states participating In the ex
position have selected das as state days ,
when they expect to have a program of ex
ercises devoted to the exfoliation of the ad
vantages of the particular state. The Iowa
commission has selected September 21 as
Iowa day at the exposition. As Iowa Is the
llrst in Importance of nil the transmlssls-
slppl states , auil as the exposition Is held
'upon bluffs overlooking Iowa soil , at our
Immediate western boundary , Iowa day
should be , and will be , the greatest day , in
point of attendance , of any of the state
days.
"You are doubtless aware that tbe legis
lature , feeling impelled by the condition of
the state finances , appropriated but a small
sum for the purpose of exhibiting Inua's
Industries nnd products at the exposition.
Th ' commission has aimed to make the best
possible showing with tbo money at its
command , but it will be Impossible for tbo
commission to devote more than $2,000 to
the expenses of the day. The commission
boa decided that It would appeal to the state
and local pride of tbo various communities ,
cities , towns and counties In the atato to
assist It In making Iowa day the great orcut
that It should bo.
"The plan agreed on by the commission Is
to Invite each city and county In the state
to get up an excursion to bo In Omaha on
Iowa day and take part In the Iowa day
parade. Wo also wish those cities and
counties having uniformed bands to arrange
to take the band with them on the excur
sion and have it march In the procession
with a banner designating the town or
county from which It comes. Each county
can readily do this with little or no expense
above railroad faro of the persons who go
and take part In the parade. Civic so
cieties , , city officers , county officers , com
mercial or business men's clubs or other
marching organizations can bo had from
every county In the state , It the citizens
of the towns and counties In the state will
take a little Interest and present It to the
taP
people.
"Tho parade from the down town districts
of Omaha to the exposition grounds will
consist of the Crocker brigade , a cavalry
company from Des Molncs , the Agricultural
cadets , the governor and his staff , state
officers , United States senators and repre
sentatives , the ex-governors and ex-senators
of the state nnd the marching organizations
which may come from the different towns
and counties of the state. These will bo
arranged by congressional districts , each
congressional district forming a division of
the parade and subdivided In to'counties
and towns having uniformed bands.
"All uniformed bands will bo admitted
free to the exposition grounds and wo are
now endeavoring to make arrangements
with the rallioad companies of the state
to carry bonds In uniform free to Omaha
on that day , where a certain number of ex
cursion tickets are sold. Wo are already
assured of some fifteen brass bands nnd If
the people will take an Interest In the mat
ter we feel sure that there will be not less
than fifty uniformed bands in the parade.
Hon. R. O. Cousins , congressman from the
Fifth district , the most noted Iowa orator ,
will deliver the oration. Governor Shaw
will also deliver an address.
"I think It would be well for you to call
n meeting of the Business Men's organiza
tion , or , if jou have no commercial club ,
then a meeting of the business men of the
city nnd lay the matter before them. I
sincerely | hope that every county In the state
will bo able to send a uniformed band to
Omaha and a marching contingent of citi
zens or civic societies and carry a banner
with the name of their town or county upon
It. It Is quite probable that we will be
able to arrange for a rate of 1 cent a mile
for Iowa day , which will afford the people
an opportunity to see the great exposition
without too much expense. Very truly
yours , J. E.'E. MARKLEY.
"Chairman of Committee on Ceremonies for
Iowa Day at Exposition. "

J. U. Sammla of Lemurs Is quoted as de
claring that he has assurances of tbo solid
support of the Dubuque convention in the
Eleventh congressional district.
The Burlington Gazette sadly remarks that
the Sixth district convention saw fit to turn
down so stalwart a democrat as James R.
Burgess and nominate Hon. James B.
Weaver In his place , and that If this be
democracy , then the veteran democrats of
Iowa have not been sulllclently instructed
In the meaning of the word.
Cedar Rapids Republican : No one seems
to desire nomination at the bands of th'e
popccratlc state convention ; neither Is there
any one holding out his hands for congres
sional nominations. And It Is said ten men
have refused the office of state chairman.
The vindication which these patriots de
clared would come In the future must be
sidetracked somewhere.
After many years of devotion to the
principles of the democratic party the
Charles City Citizen announces Its con
version to the opposition and in renouncing
Us faith of the past the Citizen quotes that
saying of President Lincoln : "Stand with
anbody that's right , stand with him while
he Is right and part with him when ho goes
wrong. " The Citizen will support the re
publican party in the future.
Grlnnell Herald : The Herald has not
been able as yet to voice tbo sentiments of
those journalists who blame anybody be
cause the Iowa soldiers were not In the

Adjutant General Bjcra , when nskcd this

would'bo organl/ed for Iowa said he could
not tell certainly but a movement In this
direction would bo made in the near fu-
ture. "We nro very likely to wait , " General -
oral Dyers said , "until the low a regiments

this jear the first opportunity to enlist In

The organization will bo upon the

allowed to enlist without first passing as
rigid rn examination as he would were he
about to enter the regular army. The
guard will thus bo kept up to standard
and be ready for a call nt any time. "

road construction In this locality Is now
quite assured. The first work of the survey
ors , who arrived last week , Is necessarily
largely preliminary. After they have taken
the measurements then they can calculate
the cost of building. The line they have
surveyed to Audubon Is from Manly Junc
tion , Worth county , and will run to Omaha
They are to pass through Jefferson , Coon
Rapids , Audubon and Harlan. In this
county they pass through to the Viola Cen
ter store and across J. C. Bonwell's farm
through Mrs. Miller's farm near Luckock's
farm , through Taggert's nursery and Into
the northeast part of Audubon east of the
Chicago & northwestern depot. Going west
they have run two lines. One goes down
to Blue Grass valley to near the poor farm
and then west. The other goes west of the
brick yard and gets on the hills west of
there , striking the Shelby county line near
Poplar , about three miles south of Flscus
Their leading Ideas seem to be to avoid
bridging streams , to keep on high ground
to make as straight a line as possible ant
as light a grade as possible. President

FORT DODGE , la , Aug. 22. ( Special. )
One of the most touching scenes that hac
taken place In this city In many years was
the arrival of the sleeping car Palmetto
this afternoon over the Central , having on
board six members of Company G , Fifty-
second volunteers , whose homes are In For !
Dodge. A number of parents nnd friends
were at the train to meet them , and as
they stepped down from the car with a
tottering , unsteady step , many could uol
refrain from saying : "Poor boys. " Each
In turn was greeted by a relative or friend
and as he extended his hand to meet that
of his friends a smile stole over his face
that told of the strife that was going on
within to appear strong and brave. The *
car left Chlckomouga last Wednesday night
with fifty-two aboard. They were put ofl
nt tbo railway connection that would get
them home quickest. All were suffering "
from the attacks of malaria nnd typhoid
fever.

CLINTON , la , Aug. 22. ( Special. ) The
village of Low Moor was the scene of an
exciting time which nearly terminated In a
riot. The Methodists , headed by their pas
tor , have become considerably worked up
over the liquor business and finally Mrs.
George How son filed Information under the
old prohibitory law against the two saloon
keepers , Naevo and Wenzle. The constable
proceeded to search the saloons for Intoxi
cating liquors. Naeve made no opposition ,
but Wenzel refused to let the officer of the
law enter his saloon. Those at the head of
the movement were determined to enter the
place and matters assumed a serious aspect
Low Moor , reaching there about 8-30 , and
order was restored. Nothing further was
done In the matter , which may bo taken up
later on. The president of the board of
trustees says both of the liquor dealers pay
the mulct tax regularly.
