waa Dede ee Ra CONSERVATIVE DEMO- CRATS RULE IOWA CONVENTION. Resolution to Reaffirm Kansas City Platform Voted Down in Committee and Afterwards in Open Meeting.-- Another to Indorse Government Ownership of Railroads Shares the Same Fate. J. B. SULLIVAN CHOSEN BY ACCLAMATION TO RUN FOR GOVERNOR. Des Moines, Ia. June 24.—The conservative wing of the democratic party in Towa controlled the conven- tion to-day, made the platform and secured a majority of the new cen tral committee, Men who have not been recognized as party leaders since before 1896 controlled the committee on resolu- tions by a vote of T to 4, and the platform reported by the majority was adopted without change A minority report reatlirming the Kansas City national platform was defeated by a vote of 4639-10 to 8541.10, Another, signed by but one mem- ber of the committee, giving a mod- ified indorsement to government ownership of railroads, was rejected 62RYy to 1994. J. B. Sullivan, the nominee for gov- ernor, has been aftiliated with the Iiryan wing of the party, but at the Union county convention he fathered u resolution, saying that acceptance of all the planks of the Kansas City platiorm should not be made a test of party loyalty, He was nominat- ed by acclamation, Other nomina- tions follow: Lieutenant governor—Johu 2B, Butler, lowa City. Judge supreme court—Juige Joln It Caldwell, Tama county. Superintendent of public instrue- tion—A, R, MeCouk, Howard county, Railroad commissioner— W. 3. Por- ter, Hardin county. The following resolutions were adopted: We, the chosen representatives of the democratic party in Iowa, dele- gate convention assembled, hereby declare anew our faith in the funda mental principles of the democratic party and renew ourallegiance there- to. We find much in the domestic affairs of the nation that. ought to be changed. OPPOSE PROTECTION. The tariff policy, originally adopt- ed for the avowed purpose of raising revenue to meet the enormous bur- dens of the civil war, has been turned to use of individual and class inter- est until it has become the creator of countless unearned fortunes and the shelter of huge combinations of capi- tal, orgaized in the form of trusts, which are strangling competition in many of our industries, destroying individual effort, crushing ambition zealous care and demand that itshall be sufficient in volume to meet the needs of the business of the country and that it shall be safeguarded by careful legislation so as to prevent the gamblers of Wall street from eor- nering the money market, thus inflicting untold injury upon the smaller business men, the farmers and the laborers of the land. We deplore the corrupt condition of the government service in the Postoffice department and demand a thorough investigation of that and other departments by congressional committee; publicity as to such con ditions, and punishment of all wrong doers. TRUST EVILS, As the most alarming features of our present conditions are the evils which come from trusts, and as these evils are made possible by legislation favoring one class and against an- other by transportation privileger and by monopoly of original sources of supply of natural products, there fore, to the end that the evils con ected with the growth of trusts may be eliminated, we call for the remoy al of the tariff from all trust-made goods, and demand that all tariff schedules be adjusted with a view to tariff for revenue only, We ask for such changes in our laws, statutory and constitutional, as will limit the charges by railroads to such an amount as will yield only a reasonable return on the capital actually invested and will render it impossible for transportation favors to be granted to any one, and such as will make it certain that all rail way companies will be treated alike, such statutes to provide penalties that will be effectual to secure a com pliance with them, When the source of supply of any product are in the ownership of those who combine to extort from” the people an unreasonable amount for such products, then we believe it ix the duty of the government to take such steps as may be necessary te secure an equitable distribution hereof, with fair compensation to the owners of the same, And so that the design of nature in making pro visions for the wants of man may not be perverted into means of his oppression.” The platform as it relates to state affairs, calls for economical govern- ment equitable taxation cf corporate and private property, the purchase of supplies from the lowest bidder, the substitution of a local option for the present mulct law, and state aid in the building of permanent high- ways.

It has been the-custom of the ruling outlawsof Breathitt county to main- tain their power not only by holding and prostituting to their desperate ends the offices, but by threatening to murder, and carrying out their threats, those who refuse to do their bidding. When any man was so careless or so honest and courageous as to dis please them they “marked” him for assassination and he was thereafter known as a “marked man,” whose doom was sealed. And sooner or tater the sentence thus passed upon him without judge or jury was exe- cuted, Those who passed it bided their time until they could drop him by a bullet fired either from ambush or behind his back in the sight of witnesses whose silence or perjury they commanded by threats of a similar fate. That is why it was impossible until the detail of troops to Jackson, to secure witnesses against these assas- sins or thelr tools, and why, even then, it was almost impossible to secure witnesses against Jets and White, two of the murderers of James Marcum, And even now these witnesses, the prosecuting attorney and the fore- man of the grand jury which indicted this brace of assassins, are known as “marked men,” But the Courier-Journal serves no- tice that there are other marked men of Breathitt to-day. The men who have marked for assassination, or who are believed to have marked, Ewen, Byrd and others who figured in the trial of Jett and White. are marked by the people of Kentucky.

They are known. And if they fail to heed this warning they will be held to rigid responsibility for the result. And their trials will not take place in Breathitt county.

'Up in Johnson County a Strange Dis- ease is Taking Them Off. | Warrensburg Journal-Democrat. J. W. Wall and wife were in War- |rensburg Monday from their farm in Chilkowee township. He informed the J.D. that a strange disease has broken out among the horses on the farm. During the last few weeks he hes lost four good animals, and Frank Byers, who lives on his farm, lost two. Dr. McLevy, of Warrens- burg, was called out to see Wall's horses, but was unable to determine the trouble. Mr. Wall sent for Dr. Bills when the last one died anda t mortem examiuation was held hey were unable to find the source of trouble. Whena horse or mule is taken with the disease they at once begin to act in a very strange manner, exhibiting none of the symptoms usual to asick horse. If confined or tied they rave and pound themselves to death. If running !oose, they keep going ina straight line, regardless of all obeta- eles. Should a tree be in their way and they butt square into it, of course, they stop and take a new track. But if they hit a tree to the side of center, the animal is likely to set its shouller against the tree or other obstacle and attempt to shove it out of the way. It will keep push- ing until it slips by, when it will go on till it hits somethin else. Acouple of dead animalsare mules. They seem to be affected slightly dif- ferent. The mules go around in a circle and try to hide themselves. The diseaxe has not made irs ap- pearance off of Mr. Wall's farm, and there is a great deal of mystery sur- rounding the matter. The Boodler's Organ. Eugene Brockmeyer, for years Jefferson City correspondent of the St. Louis Globe Democrat, is now publishing the State Republican, an anti-Kerens organ, at St. Louis, and in last week's issue gives a piece of history which, if anything could, should stop the —mendacious and hypocritical mouthings of the Globe-Democrat in regard to bood- He says in he session of 1899 w discovered a corruption among Republican Senators and repeatedly telezraphed the facts to his paper Justusoften did the Globe Democrat tura it down and suppress the truth, Yet every day, passing its own black sheep and ignoring the fact that five Republicans and only two Democrats have been implicated in the bribery scandals, it piles up columns of vitri- olic lies, making it appear that Dem- ocrats alone have done the stealing. It has at no time been inspired by a regard for public purity and has bent every energy to reap a narrow part- isan advantage.
