Bosses the Democratic County Convention
and Heads the Delegation !
CITY TREASURER BROOKS REED DOWNED
Dlncnrd ItclKfin Stiprcmc nnd ( lie Ilcl-

Fight for Harmony , lint
1'nll to Secure It.
The convention held yesterday by the
democrats of Pottawattamlo county to elect
twenty-four delegates to the state conven
tion of the party at DCS Molnes , August
16 , proved even a warmer number than"had
been anticipated. The "banquet" of the
Joffcrsonlan club Tuesday night had failed
to heal the breach between the factions
headed by City Treasurer Brooks Reed and
Chief of Police Blxby , nnd the consequence
was that discord reigned supreme from start
to finish In the convention. Even the swelt
ering atmosphere of .tbo . superior court room
wns Increased by the personalities that were
flung back and forth and the entire pro
ceedings were marked by a lack of har
mony.
The trouble arose principally over the
contesting delegations from the First pre
cinct of the Third ward and about three
hours of the convention were consumed In
the fight that finally resulted In the defeat
of the Brooks Reed delegation and the
seating of the followers of Chlof of Police
Bixby. The Brooks Reed delegation , headed
by ex-County Attorney John P. Organ , had
the support of a large number of the dele
gates from the country precincts , but wore
outnumbered by the Blxbyltcs from the city
precincts , who controlled the gathering. The
winning faction , headed by C. J. Dobbins , a
Broadway saloon keeper ; P. B. Sullivan , ex-
boss of the city's sewer gang , and T. L
Comto , ex-sergeant of police , nnd Herman
Schurz , had the floor most of the time and
monopolized the attention of the chairman
to the exclusion of the country delegates ,
who were unable to get a word or motion
In edgewise. The convention , It is argued
by the bettor element in the party , will tend
to widen the breach and all chances
of restoring harmony In the bourbon ranks
are now cone.
Convention Open * .
The convention was called to order at 11
o'clock by Brooks Reed , chairman of the
county central committee , who before read ;
ing the call , said : "There Is one thing 1
like about democrats , no matter how many
times you are knocked down , you como up
smiling again. "
Rlley Clark of Ncola was named as tem
porary chairman and Prof. McDonald of Mln-
deu as temporary secretary. The former , ,
on assuming the gavel , jnado a short speech
in which ho said he was highly compli
mented by the honor thrust1 * upon him and
compared the members of the convention to
Kilkenny cats the more they fought .the
more there eeemed to be. He concluded by
hoping that good Judgment would rclgn su
preme.
On motion of Saloon Keeper C. J. Dobbins
the following committee on credentials was
appointed : C. J. Dobbins , Sylvester Dye , W.
B. Fisher , William Schilling and Henry At-
klna. On Chief of Police Blxby's motion the
following committee on resolutions was ap
pointed : Dr. Hempstead of Carson , John
Curry of Nor.walk . and John P. Hazen of
Knox. J I
Herman Schurz then moved that the tem
porary organization be made permanent ,
which was carried , despite a protest from
J. R. Dietrich. Then Chief Blxby , for the
sake of harmony , as ho said , proposed that
the contesting delegations bo permitted testate
state their case before the credentials com
mittee. This suggestion was agreed to , but
on protest being made by John Organ , the
final decision in the matter was to bo left
with the convention and not with the com
mittee. A recess was then taken to 1:30
in the afternoon.
Afternoon Sesnloii.
On reassembling the committee on cre
dentials reported that It had decided to leave
the case of the two contesting delegations
from the First precinct of the Third ward to
the convention to dispose of. Ex-Sewer Boss
Sullivan moved that a roll call be taken
and the secretary had read the list of dele
gates from a number of the precincts when
someone suggested that probably what Sul
livan Intended was that a roll call should be
taken on the two. This proved to be what
Sullivan had attempted to Imply In his mo
tion and the reading of the list of delegates
was discontinued.
John M. Coons of Macedonia , who thought
the members of both delegations were hon
est democrats , suggested they be given a
half vote each. This did not suit Blxby's
followers and the suggestion was howled
down by Dobbins , Sullivan , Comto and the
chief's other henchmen. T
At attempt to solve the difficulty was made
by the introduction of an unlimited number
of motions , amendments and substitute mo
tions and things 'began ' to get a trifle warm.
Comto objected to Organ having a voice
In the convention , accusing him of being a
goldbug and falling to vote for Bryan. Or
gan retorted by Informing Comto that he
never took money for his vote nnd referred
to the ox-sergeant of police as "a nice ouflt"
to dictate to him.
A motion 'by Schurz that a committee of
one from each precinct bo appointed to dis
pose of the contest finally carried , but not
before Pat Sullivan and Jeff Dietrich had
a wordy tilt.
After an hour's deliberation the commit
tee returned with a majority report recom
mending the seating of the Blxby delegation ,
and a minority report recommending the
seating of the Brooks-Reed delegation. On
being put to the vote the majority report
carried by a vote of 75 to 51 , and the Blxby
delegation was admitted to scats In the con
vention.
The HcNolutloiiH ,
The committee on resolutions then pre
sented the following , which wore adopted
amidst much enthusiasm , this being the only
time there was anything like harmony in the
gathering ;
That wo endorse the Chicago platform as
adopted by the national democratic conven
tion at Chicago In 1896 , nnd that wo recog
nize William Jennings Bryan as the mo t
able patriot , statesman and champion of true
democracy of today.
That we condemn the pollry of the repub
lican administration as "criminal aggres
sion" in attempting to extend by conquest
the Jurisdiction of the United States over
foreign lands whoso only crime has been
that they opposed Spanish tyranny and
fought for freedom.
That we further condemn the policy of
the administration for sacrificing American
principles , treasure and blood wholly for
the aggrandizement of trusts and monopo
lies ; and that we , as a nation , if true to
the principles of Justice , need no alliance
with England or any other nation on earth.
Wo favor the election of United States
senators by a direct vote of the people and
for Its \\lsdoru point to the present condi
tion of the party in power In this Plato ,
which U at the present time called upon to
determine , not as to how the people shall be
best represented , but only which railroad
shaH have Its representative In the United
States senate.
We emphatically demand an adjustment of
the matter of raising public revenue whereby
railroads , banks , telegraph nnd insurance
companies and all other corporate Interests
bear their proportionate taxation , basr-d on
actual values with the man of modernto
means.
That v.c condemn the duplicity nnd hypoc.
rlsy of the republican party In Iowa In Its
so-called "moral regulation. " While falling
to icpcal the arbitrary and oppressive pro
hibition law of 18S4. It , In the passage of
the mulct law , licensed Its violation. Later ,
the republican legislature passed what Is
knonn as the Manufacturers' law , but
falfed to repeal the enactment known ns the
Clark law , which outlaws the products of
the brewery and distillery , rendering It Im
possible for a brewer or distiller to collect
pay for his goods and , later , an act making
the product of the brewery and distillery
subject to Injunction from transportation by
corporation or Individuals from ono point
within the state to another.
That the derogates from Pottawnttamle
county to the democratic state convention ,
to hp held at DCS Molnes , In. . Aug. 16 , 1809 ,
bo and are hereby Instructed to vote as a
unit upon all propositions coming before
said convention , n majority to rule , nnd that
the delegates present shall cast the full vote
of the delegation.
On motion of Schurz a committee of five
was appointed to place In nomination a list
to the state con
of twenty-four delegate ! )
vention. The following' were named
and the report waa adopted : P. A
Blxby , George S. Davis , John Stock-
ort , Lee Evans , Henry Atkins , W. II
Ware , 0. P. Wlckham , C. J. Dobbins , P. B
Sullivan , T. H. Comto , L. A. Devlne , S. G

scn , Dr. Toby , Sylvester Dye , Dr. Hem
stead , Roscoe Barton , M. G. Jones , Johl
Black , J. W. McDonald , T S. Fonlon and
George Hcggerty.
Pat Surilvan then made a motion that a
chairman of the county central committee
bo appointed to succeed Brooks Reed. This
brought on the old fight again. Roscoe Bar
ton attaaptrd to pour oil upon the troubloc
waters and finally succeeded , and the nami
of W. C. Boyer , that had been put forward
by the antl-Rcedltes , wawithdrawn. . A
motion to adjourn prevailed and the con-
ventiou was over.
COST TO 11 UN IjIGIITIO I'l.ANT
Council Committee l.lnteim to Itcport
on the Subject.
The city council met last night as a com
mltteo of the whole to hear the report o
Engineers Israel Lovott and G. L. McKlbben
on the Installation of an electric lighting
plant to bo owned by the municipality. The
reports were exhaustive , covering the mi
nutest details and treated the subject thor
oughly , showing the cost of managemen
and maintenance and giving the necessary
Information as to the proper methods the
city would have 'to ' pursue to secure the
plant In the manner proposed by the Mu
nicipal Construction company of Chicago.
The report Is baeed on a plant costing
$100,000 , which is from $40,000 to $30,000
higher than President Draffen of the Chicago
cage concern has led the aldermen to be
lieve It would cost. The city at present
pays annually close upon $11,000 for Its
street lighting , but the report figures on an
annual payment of $12,000.
Figuring on a payment of $12,000 by the
city annually the report gives the follow
ing estimate of the stages by which the city
would acquire ownership under the plan pro
posed , In thirteen years , the figures being
the amount now paid at the end of each
year : First year , $94,000 ; second year , $ S7-
510 ; third year , $80,898 ; fourth year , $73,751 ;
fifth year , $66,193 ; sixth year , $58,164 ; * jv-
enth year , $49,653 ; eighth year , $40,632 ;
ninth year , $31,009 ; tenth year. $20,933 ;
eleventh year , $10,188 ; twelfth year , $10,799.
According to the report the cost of run
ning a plant such as proposed by Engineers
Lovett and McKlbben would too as follows :
Fuel , $7,460 ; superintendent at $100 per
month , $1,200 ; ono day engineer at $65 , $780 ;
ono fireman at $45 per month , $540 ; ono
engineer at $60 per month , $720 ; ono en
gineer at $50 per month , $600 ; one lineman
at $60 per month , $720 ; one boy at $30 per
month , $360 ; oil , waste and Incidentals , $360 ;
carbons , $225 ; lamp repairs , $100 ; total $13-
065.
065.Tho
The earning capacity of the plant Is placed
at $29,000 , made up of 150 arc lights ( presenl
city light levy ) , $11,000 ; 3,000 incandescent
lights to private customers at 50 cents per
month , $18,000. Against this would bo sel
the cost of operation , $13,715.25 , nnd intoresl
on Investment , $6,384 , leaving a balance ol
18,900.75 to be applied as sinking fund and
to provide for payment on principal. The
method under which the plant would bo
secured to the city la shown In the conclud
ing portion of the report , which is as fol
lows :
Now as to the plan necessary to ha\o
this plant installed , it will bo necessary fnr
the council to grant a franchise under an
ordinance to an Individual or a firm to In
stall a plant under the terms and condi
tions laid down In your specifications. A
locar company Is organized. The investment
of the local company Is merely nominal.
The money will be furnished by some com
pany seeking the investment. By the terms
of the ordinance the local company Is au
thorized to mortgage the plant for aa agreed
amount. This mortgage represents the In
vestors' security. The mortgage is made
payable In Installments and the amount of
each instalment is stated in the ordinance.
Mortgage bonds representing each install
ment are issued. These bonds , and Intel st
thereon , are made payable at an agreed
time and place , usually some trust company.
The city , by the terms of the ordinance ,
immediately assumes the management and
control of the plant , paying seml-annually
a stated sum for light rental. This sum is
appHed on Interest and principal of tbo
mortgage. When the agreed rental is paid
for the stated number of yc.ira the tiust
company turns over to the city thu entire
stock of the company , thus scouring you
the plant In fco simple. All fixed charges
for running the prant are paid by the city
and all revenues are received by the elty.
The investor's security is the plant alone.
In conclusion wo will say that the plant
wo have designed has a capacity of 150
street lights and C,000 Incandescent. The
number of cither street or Incandescent
lights can be diminished , increasing or di
minishing the other light power as the case
may bo. You will have sixty miles of pore
line , some of the polo lines with both arc
and Incandescent line ; the power house
equipped with the best of high-grade ma
chinery , with all modern fuel and laborsaving -
saving devices. The cost of this plant would
nt the present price of materlar be about
$100,000. We would suggest that If any
changes are made the capacity of the plant
be reduced only in such way as will permit
of extension being cheaply made In the fu
ture and that the quality of material bo
left the same.
The committee decided to refer the report
to the council for Us consideration and Al
derman Casper recommended that the Coun
cil Bluffs Gas and Electric company bo re
quested to submit a proposition for the sale
of Us plant to the city.

LEXINGTON , Ky. , Aug. 2.-A political re
volt In Kentucky was organized hero toda >
The antl-Goebel conference hero today fo
the purpose of calling a state convention am
nominating another democratic state ticket
or part of one , was In some respects , per
haps , the most remarkable political gather
Ing over hold In Kentucky. The conferonc
was composed of leading farmers and pro
fcsslonal men , only a few politicians being
in the assembly. It was composed of qutel
conservative democrats. b
There iw as Intense Indignation against th
alleged methods of the Louisville conven
tlon and a stubborn determination to checl
the operations of the alleged machine. I
was manifest from the beginning that th
fooling was not against the whole ticket
but against Us head , and although othc
nominations may be made against those o
the Loulsvlllo convention , the main oppo
sltlon will be mainly directed toward the de
feat of Goobel.
The gathering was larger than expected
There were 720 men by actual count In the
auditorium. Thirty counties were repre
sented. W. B. Kinsolvlng called the meet
ing to order and made a strong speech. Dr
J. M. Poyntz of Richmond was made perma
nent chairman and W. H. Polk of Lexlng
ton was made permanent secretary. A com
mlttco on resolutions composed of one from
each district and two from the state a
large was appointed.
While this committee retired to drat
resolutions , John Young Brown was cscorte <
to the platform , and jnado a vltorous , Im
passioned speech. He was constantly Inter
rupted by applause. He reached a dramatic
climax , when , amid profound and impres
sive silence , ho raised aloft an excerpt from
the state constitution on a slip of paper ant
said :
Pronil to Tic n. IJoltrr.
"I am called a bolter ; my record , both
private and official , is known to all men
If ho who professes to stand by the con
stitution of ihls state and defles those who
would subvert it be a bolter , then I am
proud to bo one. "
The resolutions committee returned recom
mending the endorsement of Bryan and the
Chicago platform , denounced the methods
of the Loulsvlllo convention to secure the
nomination of William Goebel , declared that
the report of the committee on credentials
of the Louisville convention was eecured
by shameful and fraudulent tactics , de
nounced "McKInleylsm" and other national
affairs and provided that a convention beheld
held In Lexington on Wednesday , August 16 ,
at 1 p. m. to declare principles and nomi
nate candidates for the November election.
Each county and legislative district was
urged to appoint delegates to said conven
tion , each county being entitled to one vote
for every 200 votes or fraction over 100
polls cast for W. J. Bryan In 1806. It was
further resolved that Major P. P. Johnston
Is now the regular and legal chairman of
the state democratic committee and ho is
urged to take legal steps In accordance
with this position. The convention ad
journed after being In session two and a
half hours , to meet August 16.
Strife for Democratic Kmbleni.
LEXINGTON , Ky. , 'Aug. ' 2. 'At ' the conven.
tlon to be held hero August 16 the unit-
Godbel democrats will claim the regular
party emblem. According to law this em
blem must bo claimed every fourth year
by the party and the secretary of state must
grant the claim. This must be made In con
vention. The convention at Loulsvllfo was
fourth In the series , but It failed to claim
the emblem. The antl-Gocbol men will make
this claim and , aa the secretary of state Is
a republican , It Is believed ho will grant the
request.
