"I have spent iom time ' tn my own
Dubuquo district ri Iowa, and from my
observation there and elsewhere I feel cer
tain that tho state will not vary Its old
timo majority the republicans managers
aro estimating It as high as 75,000. The
Davenport district Is the only one about
which uneasiness Is felt. Vollmer, tho
democrat who Is runnlnc for congress there,
was bitterly opposed to Bryan four years
ago and now he Is trying to get buck into
the organisation.
He relies upon being j
able to secure the sound money Germans,
but bo Is finding that that thrifty class
which works for Its money and saves It
when It is .earned are not as ready to flop
as Is tho candidate.
"The republican opposed to Vollnir Is
Captain Rumple, captain of the Second Iowa
cavalry at 23. and a former member ot the
Iowa senate. He ha neer tlopped on any
qupstlon involving the prosperity or happi
ness of the American people.

myself, and the enthusiasm was something
surprising. 1 tell you the fear we had
that the vote wouldn't be out Is a mistaken
one; the reoplt know their best Interests
thoroughly and Intend to preserve them.
During the meotlng I took Roosevelt to
several points where he could get a good
view of the crowd and asked him what he
thought of Iowa republl;ans. 'Wonderful.'
he said, growing more explosive with each
word, 'wonderful, wonderful." "

regarding his expected appearance In

notified of the arrangement. "I was work

that I broke an appointment with them. It
was never suggested to mo that t would bo

"In Wisconsin and Minnesota there has

CULLED from the Field of POLITICS
Walter H Stalcv. staff correspondent of
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, met the
Rooseell train in lowu last Friday and
obtained from the accompanying corre-
pondetits their Impressions of the effect of
Governor Roosevelt's tour of tho west and
northwest and the political complexion of
the electoral votes of the states traversed.
A summitry follows.
"North Dakota remains republican
Wyoming and Kansas are gained.
This Is the first proposition. It may
almost b said to be conceded by the
oj position. Democrats not blinded by party
optimism generally ngree that the present
outlook tn these, three states will give their
votes to MeKlnley.
"It by no means follows that the other
Mates in this group will stand for Bryan.
There are probabilities and there are fight
ing chances tn the view of the newspaper
men who have been with Bryan and Roose
velt. One of the fighting chances 1 in
t'tah. Thl will surprise many republicans
who have heard little of that state and who
have thought that if gains were made tn
the Rocky mountains they would not be de
cisive In t'tah. It uppears. however, on
newspaper Judgment, by uo meant certain,
that Mormon church influences are to bn
cast solidly tor Bryan. Tho flocks and
herds on a thousand hills are political ob
ject lessons that outweigh the personal In
terebts'ot silver mine owners in the number
of voters affected. Utah has come Into a
large measure of good times. And so the
who have traveled with the special
trains and have kept their eyes open are
Indicating I'tah as the foremost uncer
tainty. "Next they rank Nebraska. it seems
strange to talk of Bryan's home state re
pudiating blm, but the tour ot Roosevelt
Just completed there has shown that a po
litical crisis prevails. The campaigning
did not arouse the rigor ot enthusiasm
which was shown In Kansas. Indeed, no
where that Roosevelt has been, the corre
Hpondents agree, has such a thrill of inter
est been shown as tn Kansas.
"Without the personality of Bryan, Ne
braska today would be as surely repub
lican as Kansas Is But tbe exlstenee ot
the current has been growing more evi
dent, it showed Itself so plainly In the
series of meetings Just concluded by Roose
velt that hope ot republicans have greatly

a week that he regards the result in Ne-

chances slightly favoring the republicans
His explanation Is that the state of Bryan
Is now showing In marked degree the in-
rllnatlon which has been so plain In the
adjacent states.
"In tbe general opinion of the corre
spondents tbe most, to be ald ot South
Dakota Is It remains doubtful, with cer
tain influences favoring Pettlgrew. The
senator, whoee career has been so unsatls-
factor)' to the people ot his state, has made
himself ueful to certain corporations which
are disposed to let him continue ln offlce.
South Dakota may be for MeKlnley anil
at the same time may elect a legislature
which will return Pettlgrew. The cutting
down of the enormous free silver majority
In Colorado Is n matter of common fore
cast without regnrd to politics. That Colo
rado will 10 far reverse the conditions ot

ing newspaper men."
Tbe share the farmers have had in the
prosperity that has come to the country
since Is as great If not greater than
has been received by other classes ot th
population. This fact Is made plain by tho
comparative figures concerning tho value
of farm product. In 1S94 and In l!59. which
are to be found ln tho reports of the dl-
vision of statistics of the United States

The open air meeting of the Sixth WarJ
Republican club last night at Twenty
fourth and Grant streets was addressed
first by Judge Vlnsonhaler. who referred to
lne a'i'Jress or .Mr. uryan at matanapolis on
matter of the disfranchisement of the ne
groes of the south, showing that tbe only
hope of these people lies In the action ot
the people of the states where a free and
fair ballot will permit the election of
ago be took to tbe woods to escape the silver
infection. After his nomination last month
he camo out hotly against Imperialism, but
suddenly cooled off when the papers dug up
a ipeeca delivered by blm before the
Amheist club. In which be unequivocally in-
uorseu tne rntnppine policy of the ad
ministration. He then tried to take a fall
out of the trusts. Again bis record
paralyzed him. While a member of the
legislature in IS95" he worked and voted
to maintain the telephone monopoly, which
charges $240 a year for telephone service In
Greater New York. Stanchfleld Is shown
to have smothered In committee a bill de
signed to reduce the rate, which had the
Indorsement of seventy-two commercial
bodies In tho state.
The Philadelphia Record, an old reliable
democratic paper, taken to task by a cor
respondent for lt independent position ln
this campaign, replied as follows.
"tho Record remains steadfast to democ
racy as it was before the party was
Bryanlied In 1396. It prefers Jefferson.
Madison, Jackson and Cleveland before
Bryan and Stevenson and populism. It
knows that a very large proportion of tho
voto cast for Bryan In 1S? was made up of
silver republicans, and that a still larger
proportion wa made up of unwlllln? demo-
crats who followed tbe flag though they dls-
trusted the flag-bearer.
"The democratic dissent and disgust of
1S9$ hate been intensified In 1900. The
Kansas City platform was Imposed upon the
puny againu its Detter Judgment by the
Insistence of the candidate already named hv
me populist party, and was carried In com
mlttee by the casting vote of tho delegate
irora Hawaii.
"In tbe present contest tbe Record has no
candidate. It prefers to stand aloof, giving
both sides a hearing and neither side advice
It would be false to Its readers It It should
be false to Itself, and It would be of no

Adopted as Presented.
' IMPEACHMENT OF JUDGE UNDER WAV

and Mlspenslou of the
Acensrd,
Five members of the city coum.ll voted
last night to hae the tmpeachement charges
brought uglnst Police Judge Samuel F. Gor
don by the Hoard of Education Oled
In the district court. Thi. charges were
signed by tht Hve councllmen and as soon
as the mayor's signature has been secured
they will be placed In the hands of one of
the district Judges by the city attorney,
who will Hsk that Judge Gordon be sus
pended and rraoed In accordance with the
prayers of the petitioners.
The matter was brought before the coun
cil by a majority report of the Judiciary
committee, in which It was recommended
that the charges be sent to the district
court. This report was signed by Council -men
Hascall, Mount and Whltehorn, Coun
cllmen Zlraman and Burkley. the other
two members of the committee, refusing
to sign It.
On the motion to adopt the report the
three committeemen were supported by
Councllmen Karr and Hoye. Mr. Trostler
was excused from voting and Zlmman.

thU resolution because tt hardlv seems to
me to be a b jMtiessllk- proposition. It
seeeins to me that the mayor and clt
eo'iu.-el ought to know for what purpos-s
the.sp men are to be employed and th
method. which thev win use In the work
thuy are to undertake and above all. we
should know in a grtieral way what the
cr.rrpensatlon Is to be. The matter could
be viewed in so many different lights that
the ideas, in relation to the attorneys' fee.,
might vary widely. We should know. I
believe, whether the fees are to be J100 or
11. The matter Is too vague and In
definite to warrant the muklng of a con
tract which might bind the city for a good
manj- thousands of dollars.
I am tn favor of taking whatever action
may be desirable tn the collection of spe
cial taxes. I have no sympathy wtth the
effort of somo of our property holders to
evade the payment of such assessments
and would be ulad to take anv step which
would compel the Immediate payment of
the amounts dplinqjent But this resolu
tion is 100 vagie ana 1 inerefore veto It
