POLITICS IN IOWA. Meeting of the Democratic Conven- tion at Ottumwa, VARIOUS VIEWS OF PARTY LEADERS Columbia College Freshmen De- feat Yale and Harvard. COMMENCEMENT WEEK SCENES IOWA DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. An Enthusiastic Gathering Called to Order at Ottumwa. Orremwa, Iowa, June 24.—What is probably destined to be the most decisive campaign ever waged for political supremac Iowa was opened at 10 o'clock today, when Chairman Fuller rapped to order 1.000 of the most enthusiastic democrats ever assembled in convention in the hawkeye state. The campaign is decisive becauxe it is conceded by both political parties that |as Towa goes in the coming election so it will probably go in the presidential elec~ tion of "92. Should the democrats carry the state and re-elect Gov. Boies. the claim of Iowa as « pivotal state in the great national campaign of next year will be too well established to be disputed even by the republicans, aud the voice of the hawkeye state will consequently bea power in the coming national convention. BOTH PARTIES CONFIDENT. Both parties are entering upon the present campaigh with equal confidence. ‘The demo- crats have one point of vantage, Gov. Boies will be renominated by acclamation, while there issharp rivalry for the republican guber- natorial nomination and some bitterness may be engendered in the ranks of that part Added to this is the further advantage thai the democrats by declaring for the r the prohibitory liquor law have attracted the almost solid support of the enemies of pro- hibition. While the prohikiting vote is divided between the republican and prohibition par- ties the latter have recently nominated a full party ticket. CONVENTION HALL DECORATIONS. The Grand Opera House was beautifully dec- orated for today’s convention and to the right of the chairman, festooned in evergreens, hung the motto, “A public olfice is a pub- lic trust,” while to the left was sus- pended the. injunction, “No backward step,’ & reference. to the free silver piank of the democratic state platform of last year. The crack band of the state played a few e ing airs just before the opening of the convention, concluding with “Yankeo Doodle,” which caused enthusiastic applause. CHEERING THE PRAYER. The convention was opened with prayer by Rey. J. H. Lloyd of Wapello county, whose in- vocation that the convention might be inspired by the sentiment of that grand man who de- clared that “a public office it public trust” was cheere: by the delegates at the conclusion of the prayer. Mayor Burgess delivered the address of wel- come and extended the freedom of the city to the delegates. $20 Suite, $18.75 Suite, $17.75 Suits, $16.50 Suits, 815 Saits, GO AT 10 4 SUIT. ‘Those who are familiar with our prices will open their eesin wild wonderment.

[Ap- plause.} ‘The republican party compares our country with the other nations of the earth and for shame, delares our inability to compete with other lands on equal terms in the ordi- nury business of life. It holds the industrial centers of our lands as pauper communities ouly able to survive in the struggle for wealth by the assistance of the tax gatherer, who col- lects the tithes from the homes of til to scat- ter fatness in the larders of its masters. [Ap- ase. | “To this end thet party has increased taxa- tion, which absorbs the substance of the peo- ple, and bas declared such taxation to be the very essence of individual and na- tional wealth. The republican party sees dauger in commercial intercourse with foreign uations and counts the oj highway of the seas a menace to our prosperity- it been consistent in the laws which have driven our ships from the commercial world and given over all ocean carriage to be han- dled under foreign flags, but inconsistent now attempts to build up by subsidies the very commerce it destroyed by tax.

Boies af “that grand old tribune of the people, who, in the executive office of our great commonwealth, jas demonstrated a ith of statesmanship worthy of presidential honors. [Cheers.} “‘Sumptuary legislation,” aaid he, “has placed upon our statute books the laws which assume to control the appetite and persona habits of our people. While thus interfering with man's inherent rights, it has so far failed, thus, whereas there were in lows, in’ 1883, 3,914 places where liquors were sold, in the present year of grace there are 5,868. Believers in the true and practical temperance can tolerate the farce no longer. The work of the democratic party in Iowa will not be fully done ‘until this greatest of all farces is swept from the of our code, and a law sball be enacted for the strict regulation and control of the traffic in intoxi- eating liquors.” RECESS UNTIL AFTERNOOX. After the announcement of the various com- mittees the convention adjourzed to 1:30 p.m. emid great applause. THE PLATFORM BLOCKED ovr. Immediately after the adjournment the com- mittee on resolytions went to work and soon | blocked out the platform, with the excep- tion of two or three points. It indorses Gov. Boies’ administration: reaiirms the probibition pledges the party to pass an Kustralian or other ballot-reform measure; de- nounces the McKinley tariff law: indorses the principle of a tariff for revenue only; recom- state and national control of railroads; favors iiberal pensions for disabled Union Jicrs and recommends an ample and liberal ppropriation for the state exhibit at the world » fair. : Upon the silver question there was a long dispute, but the committee finally decided to recede from the platform of a year ago and merely favor the “free conage of silver upon a jest ratio,” making it'a fail legal tendor for all debts. public and private. ‘This will probably be contested in the con- vention, as the extreme free silver men will de- mand the reaffirmation of the “free and unlim- ited coinage” plank of two years ago.

Axuxnst, Mass, June 24.—President of Amherst College in his inaugural address to- | day said: “the pressing want of our time is manly men, of liveral culture and sound head and heart, in every walk of life. The influence of such men ameliorates all the relations of life und lends to it richness and tone. Christian manhood isa greater thing than any profession. We do not need a greater number of doctors or lawyers or merchants. We do need a greater number of liberally edu- ates above dollars and cents. What else can dispel the awful cloud of ignorance and vice that biackens our census map of tho south and storms at all our ports of immigration? “If the dangers which threaten us from these sources are to be averted we must look not to ‘home missionaries’ alone, not to clergymen only, not to the efforts of politicians or etates- jen, but to the increase of the number and the fluence of those liberally educated Christian men whose standard of judgment and action, in every vocation, shall raise the tone of pub- lie opinion and purify the publie morals.” Wittiamstows, Mass., June 4.—the gradu- ating exercises of Williams’ College took place this morning. iobert N.

Ellyson and other members of the commit- tee of the chamber of commerce, who have just had a conference in New York with Mrs. Jefferson Davis with regard to the question of removing her husband’s remains to this city, reached here this morning.

New Loxpox, Coxx., June 24.—In the fresh- man two-mile race today Columbia won by three lengths, time, 9.41; Yale second, time, 9.5834; Harvard third, time, 9.56. The referee sent the crews away on a ragged start, Yale on the wost side and Columbia in the center, getting the best of it, Har- vard’s boat being at an angle across the course. The three crews struck up a fast stroke, Columbia and Yale pulling 40 and 38, while Harvard pulled 37. For the first half mile it was a very pretty and excitiny race, the three crews being well buuched, C limbia having a slight adv Harvard, about a length — bebind. In xecond half mile Columbia and Yale drew away from Harvard, showing nearly three lengths of elear water. ‘The race between Columbia and Yale in the second half tuile was a very hot spurt, in which ch erew kept the strok ute. None of the crews were doing any very pretty rowing, Columbia's quick, snappy sroke throwmg water badly, while Yale seemed unable to keep their bout on an even keel.

There are a number of vacancies in the cler- ical force of the Post Office Department which are to be filled by promotions. A large num- ber of clerks, both male and female. are natu- rally anxious to secure a promotion, which is nearly always attended by an increase in the pay. They have therefore beenactively engaged in marshaling all the influence they could pos- sibly command in order that when the selec- tions were made they would stand well in the eyes of the promoting power. Thescenterpris- clerks will be grieved, not to ay pained, to learn that all their hustling for influence has been in vain. EXAMINATIONS TO BE HELD. Postmaster General Wanamaker has decided to inaugurate in the department the holding examinations for promotion. The clerks seeking promotion will be required to appear before a board, and upon the decision of the board rather than upon the papers on file in their frvor will rest their chances of promotion. Influence will hereafter be at a discount in the Post Office Department. Many of the clerks are not at all pleared by the proposed change. asan examination is not an event that they look forward to with any satisfaction. But Mr. Wanamaker thinks that by holding examinations merit will have more influence in securing the reward of a promo- tion than the letters and personal solicitation of geutlomen who are prominent in politics. Mr. Wanamaker found upon investigation that in one or two of the departments promotions were based upon examinations, and he con- cluded that if the system worked well in other branches of the government service there was no reason why it would not flourish in the Post Ofice Department. ‘THE EXPERIMENT TO BE TRIED. At least he is going to make the experiment, and in the course of m week or so the gentle- men and ladies who are anxious to be advanced in their official careers will have an opportu- nity to appear before a board and give such evidence as they can muster which will evtab- lish their fitness for the honor of drawing a few hundred dollars additional from the United States treasury. 2 SRICTLY COMPETITIVE. There is a feature about the examinations in the Post Office Department which will make them still more interesting, and that is they will be strictly competitive. Clerks will not be designated ior promotion and then examined, we isdone in one of the departments. But when a vacancy occurs in any grade in any of the bureaus of the Gapextenant all the clerks in the grade next below will have a right to be examined for promotion. The head of the bureau can also desiguete clerks in lower grades for examina- tion for promotion at the sme tim should consider that they ere capable. examination will not be obiigatory, but will be open to clerks independent of whether they have influence or not. THE BOARD OF PROMOTIONS. Postmaster General Wanamaker today issued the following order: Juxx 24, 1891. That there bo and is hereby established in the Post Office Department a board of promo- tions, to consist of the chief clerk of the Post Ofiice Department, the appointment clerk of the Post Office Department and three clerks of the fourth class, one from the office of the first assistant postmaster gexeral, one from the office of the second assistant —_post- master general and one from — the office of the third assistant postmaster general, to which board shall be referred all questions of promotions in every clerical grade whatso- ever. ‘The three last’ mentioned members of the board shall be designated vy the three as- sistant postmasters general revpectively, and Yaeuncies in these three places shail be tilled in like! Mannér, subject to the approval of the Postmaster General. Tn ease of a vacancy oceurring in any one of the grades of clerks the said board shall deter- mine and report tu the Postmaster General the name of the person who, according to the standard to be hereafter prescribed, is best fitted in their judgment to fil the anid vacancy by promotion, and such promotion shall be fo icreepective of the induence of friends. ‘The decision of the said board shall be based upon their ratings of examinations to be held under their direction,and the form and mode of such examinations shall be determined by said board subject to the approval of the Post- master General. The examinations shall be | such as to show by their resuits whether, since appointment, the applicants have retrograded, or whether by experience and application they have become fitted for advancement, and they shall also take into account health, hubite, in- dustry and adaptability to the work. The examinations prescribed by this order shall in ali eases be competitive, aud oppor- tunity to take the same shail be afforded to all applicants from the next lower grade in the same bureau or office, without special designa- tion, and to all applicants from still lower grades in the same bureau or office, who may be speciully designated by the head of the bareut or office in which the vacancy occurs. ‘The head of each bureau or office shall, from and after the Ist of July next, keepa record of each clerk, which record shall be kept in the mode prescribed by the board of promotions and approved by the Postmaster .d shall show markings upon attend- ance, ability, application, habiws snd adapta- bility and such other subjects as may be pre- scribed by the board. ‘the board of promo- tions shall review these records at the close of each month andshal! report quarterly to the Postmaster General whether in their judg- ment, based on said records, any reductions or promotions should be made.

Great interest is felt in official circles here over the cabinet meeting called for Friday to consider the financial condition of the treas- ury. It is on the eve of a new fiscal year and treasury official are busy Preparing data upon which the President and cabinet ma; come to some conclusion as to mapping out line of policy to be pursued during the fiscal ear. 2 From the books of the treasury it is ascer- tained that the total recespts for the eleven months of the present fiscal year have been $369,808,967, and for the twenty-four days of the present month (June) “$23,497,000, making actual receipta so far 593,305,967. With the six remaining days to hear from the total receipts will foot up in round numbers 400,005,000. ‘The total appropriations made tur the Ascal year commencing July 1 are 407,266,851. Unless the revenues for the next fiscal year increase considerably over the revenues of the present fiseal year all these appropriations could not be paid. ‘The present indications are that the custom revenues will be about $20,000,000 less than the resent fiscal year, the receipts for the first Eve months of the presnt. caleudar year show- ing a decrease of $13,000,000. 'n-addition to the $47,266,852 appropriations to be paid ont of next year's receipts is the su unty, which is estimated at $7,000,000 ‘his will run the expenditures to $414.000,000 with estimated receipts of not over 2400,000,000 ‘The pension payments will be $135,000,000 and must be paid, as in addition to the running expenses of the executive de- partments, which figure as permanent appro- riations und amount to ¥132,000,000.

Representative Breckinridge of Arkansas ar- | rived in Wi yesterday and is at bis | winter residence on North Capitel street. He | is here to take bis children for a vacation after the close of school. Mr. Breckinridge is fond expects tocamp on the north shore of the Superior and fish for trout im the famous Nepigon. Speaking with a Stan reporter today he said that in his state people are attending to their crops and letting politics alone. Viewing national polities, he says that the third party movement is so far an unknown quantity that Ro one can find the basis for judgment as to, its extent and consequence. Noone ean tell, | he «ays, how long it will last or what it will ac- | com, There have been many movements | among the fe that have been widespread | and over ‘which there has been popular excitement, but they have been aimed | at some particular object and they | could be measured. At present, | however, he says, the condition ix that of gen- | eral unrest: for thirty years the public mind | has been clouded by the smoke of ge: | lic sentiment in all matters of politics has been | more or leas influenced by the remembrance of the war, and prejudice has entered into every process’ of reasoning. Now the people are | throwing off this influence and beginning to | think for themselves—to use their minds—and $comomic questions, not sentiment, are oceupy- ing their attention. The popular mind, he says, hus become active; the people have begun to arouse themselves | to move, to turn over and stretch themselves, | and somebody is going to be disturbed by it— | some one's crockery is going tobe broken. | What we see is the evidence of @ genetal di content. The people are not satisfied that | things should stay for all time as they are; the know that there is something wrong and they are determined to right it. ¥ will this in their own way. ‘The great mass of | eople—the great common people—are not | im the habit of thinking over matters of political economy: they have not been making a study of statesmanship; but seeing a wrong, which they baveendured as long as they intend to, they are gomg about to make a change and tocorrect the evil in the best way they can. They will go at it awkwardly, not being used to dealing with sueh questions, an] they 1 mistakes aud do some things that will ful, but in the end they will accomplish the re~ form they seek. ‘They know wha? to do, but may not have Knowledge of the best methods. A TRIUMPH FOR DEMOCRACY. He sayshe can see thatas a final result it | will be a triumph for democracy. ‘The discon- | tent which causes the upheaval is a discontent | with present existing conditions, not with con- | ditions that are not. The present conditions are, he says, what have been established by the republican perty and are a part of their principles. The democrats have never had a | chance to repeal any of the laws the republi- | cans have put upon the statute books, and the | most they have been able to do was to’ prevent | certain other legislation in the | line, #o that the growth of the institu- | tious of the republican party has been | checked, but those institutions have not been | changed and still exist. Discontent with pres- | ent conditions, therefore, he says, is discontent | with the doings of the republican party, and the contest must be between paternal govern- ment on the one hand and government by the people on the other. He does jnot think that the people who are now moved by a irit of unrest will try to correct the evils of paternulism by ex- tending it. Reason will show them that it par- ternalism and partiality is an evil to extend it to other classes will not help matters any, but that the ouly way to correet the evil ia ta do away with all paternaliem and establish equality for all and favors to nowe—which brings thet | back to the principles of democracy. Speaking of the contest in Ohio this fall he says he thinks the fight will be mainly on th tariff question, and that McKinley's success is very doubtful.’ The best democratic campaign document in the fight, he says, will be the frank statement of the Home Market Club, which, while intended to help the dem- ocrats, shows just the results as to the duty on wool which the democrats have been pointing out-—that the high duty on a grade of wool wuich must be mixed with our native wool: und which cannot be produced here | lowers the price of the native wool without cheapening the cloth, and makes the munutac- | ture of cloth so Yxpensive as to restrict the demand; whereas if these grades were | admitted free the price of cloth | could be reduced from 20 to 50 cents on the | yard and an increase of probably 2 cents per pound be paid for native wool. He says this | statement, coming from the source it does, is | very apt to weaken McKinley's position among the sheep raisers of Ohio. Action to Be Deferred Rose Returns.

New Yous, June 24.—The dealings on the stock exchange this morning were on a smaller scale than for several weeks past.
