THE ADDRESS OF CHAIRMAN STONE. Secretary Blaine’s Name Greeted With Repeated Cheers. ADMINISTRATION INDORSED. THE IOWA REPUBLICANS. Conventior ate. Crpan Rariws, Iowa, July 1.—Oune of the asinstic repnblican conventions ever parties that this enmpaign is to be a dec one and its effect on national polities is fully appreciated by every politician of the hawk- eye state. The republican party ix -thor- oughly united for the first time in many years, and today's convention was distinguished by its harmony and good feeling. ‘The nomina- tion of Hiram ¢. Wheeler for gov- ernor was assured in advance, and upon the platform there was substantially a reiteration of the party _ princi of two years ago. By the arraignment of the democratic party for connivance with the law- less element in the violation and nullification of the prohibitory law an attempt is made to s| place that party on the defensive in the coming campaign. The threatened break over | the financial question never came, and it is likely the free coinage question will be almost | lost from sight in the other stirring issues that [ure to agitate Lowa politics for the next four months. ‘The convention was held in the opera house which was tastefully decorated for the occa- sion. Among those present were many per- sons of state and national reputation. Senator Allison, Congressmen — Hender- Flick, Dolliver and wernor Gear, ex-Governor Larrabee and Solicitor of the Treasury Hep- | burn occupied seats on the platform, and Mrs. of Non-partisan Woman's Christian Temperance Union, headed a delegation of entlusiastic lady republicans, who occupied a private box. Chairman Mack of the state central commit led the convention to order promptly at Ll o'clock. Prayer was invoked by Rev. Julius | Ward of Cedar Rapids. Chairman Mack's | speech was short and crisp. | (It consisted in announcing J.T. Stone of | Mills county as temporary chairman. In assuming the chair Mr. Stone made a | rousing speech of nearly an hour's duration. He was frequently interrupted by applause, Dut the culmmation point was reached when the name of James G. Blaine was uttered. AN OVATION To BLAINE. “There is but one reciprocity,” said he, “and James G. Blaine is its prophet.” At the first mention of Blaine the loyalty of hawk- eye republicans to the man from Maine was more than demonstrated. Cheer after cheer arose from the vast audience and the ladies in the galleries went wild with their political brothers in their manifestation for reciprocity and admiration for the distin- .guished Secretary of State. CHAIRMAN STONE'S REMARKS. Mr. Stone, having thanked the convention for the conspicuous distinction of being called upon to preside over it, said: “The determined purpose seen in your faces is consistent with the work before ‘you. ‘The most important crisis is upon us. The political power of the state is at stake. The good re- | sults achieved by the republican party during its rule of thirty years are endangered. The democratic party of Iowa was in battle and in ambush. Masked behind the pretense of seeking the decision of local questions it is aiming by a brilliant stroke of craft to turn re- blican Lowa over to the national democrac {the control of the executive and le islative branches of state government, and it will so group the counties into congressional districts as to give it the greatest possible opportunity to capture the delegations in the congressional elections next year. “fe will so. reorganize the representative districts next winter as to give it the greatest { chance of winning the general assembly lin 1893_ and the consequent election lot a United States Senator in 18%. | More than i it successful it is, will imitate the stroke of the Michigan de- mocracy end provide for the election of presi- dential electors in its gerrymandered districts, and thus give to the democratic presidential candidate « portion of Iowa's vote in the elec- toral college in 1892. “Are the republicans of Iowa ready for a consummation like this? It is the policy of the democratic leaders to create dissensions among republicans on local questions and to agitate disturbances of minor and subordinate controversies in order to divert attention from the large range of national issues to con- ceal their ulterior purposes. Irretrievably di- vid-d themselves upon the question of high cense, low license and no license at all of the liquor traffic they constantly precipitate upon the republican party the issue of prohibition in studied and defiant disregard of the fact that the people of Iowa in a fair and non-partisan election, in which no other issue was at stake, issued « solemn decree com- manding their legislature to enact a prohibi- tion Inw. “As a party built upon obedience to the ular will the republican party has feit in duty bound to respect this supreme expression. ‘This judgment of the people stands unre- versed. No democratic voice has ever been raised for a resubmission and retrial of the question. Until it (the democratic party) is to unite in such 8 demand, its arraignme: the republican party for ‘enacting the prohibitory law ix the ment of the le of Lowa.

[Great applause.] But one other person can be here mentioned—the right arm and loyal friend of his chief—the fearless and incomparable WILD ENTHUSIASM FOR BLAINE. At the mention of the Secretary's name the convention went wild with enthusiasm. “The first citizen of the republic, he is its greatest civic hero.” The speaker then commended the record of the party on pension expenditures and tended sympathy to the Pdisfranchised” Publicans of the south. DISCUSSING THE TARIFF. Turning to the tariff he said: #The demo- cratic leaders insist that the tariff is not an isxue in Iowa this year; they were never more mistaken. It never was an issueso much as now. The democratic party in the country is now organized to overthrow the tariff law. ever before waa the issue more clear! drawn before the two parties than now. It will continue to be an issue till free trade is dead and the country placed beyond the di of its resurrection, or till protection is buried and free trade has turned the country over to ‘The speaker having analyzed the tariff pol- iciey of the two parties brought up with reei- proeit reciprocity,” he said, mes G. Blaine is its prophet. applause.] When he first announced the Gospel, the democratic party under the spur of the'mo- ment thought it saw freo trade standing ins more dazzling light than ever before. But when the spell was broken reciprocity was in the republican camp, and J. G. Blaine was its chief high priest.” (Here the convention again becajne wildly enthusiastic. } The speaker then concluded by an arraign- ment of the democratic party for, ita policy of “deception and falsehood” and with commen- dation of the McKinley bill, which, though up to the full wish of every republican, he believed to be a noble tariff law and one which now meets the approval of all the people. APPOINTMENT OF COMMITTERS. At the conclusion of the temporary chnir- man’s speech the new state central committee and the various committees of the convention were appointed. GREETIN + FROM WASHINGTON. Wm. Hill, vice president of the Iowa Repub- lican Association of Washington, D. C., was introduced to the convention and brought words of cheer from the Iowa contingent at Washington. He said that time would prove the wisdom of the McKinley tariff Dill, and nothing could defeat the republican ty in the coming campaign. — In conclusion ir. Hill presented the chairman for each county delogation with a small tin plate, the product of American mines, as a sample of the good results brought by the McKinley tariff law. e re- EX-GOV. GEAR PERMANENT CHAIRMAN. The convention took a recess until 2 p.m. and a meeting of the committee on permanent organization was at once held, at which ex- Gov. and ex-Congressman John M. Gear of Burlington was selected as permanent chair- man of the convention. ‘The committee on resolutions also met im- mediately ufter the adjournment of the con- vention. ‘THE PLATFORM. The platform as finally adopted for pre- sentation to the convention indorses the McKinley tariff law in the warmest terms and particularly commends the _ recip- rocity provision and its interpretation and observation by President Harrison and Secretary of State Blaine. Liberal pensions to disabled soldiers and their widows are urged. The financial question is bricily disposed of by the indorsement of the present silver law, of which Conger of Iowa has the credit of being author. The Harrison administration is endorsed and the large appropriations of the last Congress fulfillment of the obligations, welfare and de- velopment of the country. ‘The prohibition plunk of the platform of last year is reaffirmed and the dem: party nd democratic local officials are arraigned for conspiring with the law-breaking ele for the violation and nonobservance of the prohi- | bition law. The course of Iowa Senators and Rep- | resentatives in the National Congress is com- mended, and particular eulogy is extended to Senator Allison fo> his liberal and patriotic course as chairman of the Senate committee on appropriations. A liberal appropriation for the state exhibit at the world’s Columbian ex- position is urged CHAIRMAN GEAR'S SPEECH Immediately after the reconvening of the convention permanent chairman Gear was in- troduced and made a brief speech predicting party success on the tariff and local issues. The nomination of state officers was de- clared in order and the convention declared that no nominating speeches should be per- mitted. WHEELER NAMED FOR GOVERNOR. For governor Hon. Hiram C. Wheeler of Odebolt, Sac county, was nominated on the first ballot amid great enthusiasm. pis 2 latanaay WEARIED OF LIFE. Attempt of Alexander Weisse to Kill His Mistress and Himself. New York.

New York, July 1.—The stock market opened with a continuance of the upward movement of yesterday and first prices were allfrom \ to 44 per cent higher than last evening's figures, while Louisville und Nashville were up 13, per cent. The demand from the shorts, however, ceased at the high figures attained, and the market, with the exception of St. Paul, Louis- ville, Atchison, Burlington and Chicago ga fell into dullness and prices retired small frai tions from the opening figures, the recession being helped by another small lot of gold taken for export.

The permanent board of assessors as contem- plated by the act of March 8, 1891, buckled on their armor and entered upon their official duties today. Assessor Cook was the first to arrive, and ho was almost imme- diately followed by Messrs. Moore and Dawson. After paying their respects to the Commission- ers and taking the oath of office they adjourned to the room which has been built for their eape- cial occupancy and there organized. Assessor Trimble has moved his office to this room and here also the board of equalization will meet. The board of assessors were not offi- cially appointed until this morning. It was found some days ago that thelaw required each person appoini to file within ten days after such notice his bond, and failing to do this the appointment shall be void. In, view of this 1 Commissioners did not officially appoint the board of assistant assessors until this morn- ing. A TALK WITH MB. MOORE. In conversation with a Star reporter this morning Assistant Assessor Moore said that he realized the importance of the office and kne’ that there was a great deal of work in store for the board. ‘There is @ clause in he added, “which says that assessor shall view each piece of property before assessing e sume.

Appointments by the President, THE ATTORNEY'S OPINION. The petition of the vestry of Washington Parish for the revocation of a building permit issued to Wm. Yost & Bro. to build nine dwell- ing houses in Mark's alley, in square 877, on the ground that the permit was irregularly and improvidently granted was referred to the attorney for the District several days ago for n opinion on the points raised and the power Of the Commissioners to revoke the permit. ‘The complaint states that the are twelve feet in width by twenty-six fect in depth and are but two stories in it. It is also alleged that the buildings are to be of the lowest and cheapest clase and will ultimately be inhabited by the lowest and most vicious class of people, filthy and erimi- nal in their habite.

In other Commissioners are usked to cipate a nuisance that it is supposed will arse when the proposed buildings shail have been tenanted and to prevent it by a revocation of the permit. The license or permit to build the proposed building, says Assistant Attorney ‘Thomas, who rendered the opinio: # the build- ing owners a right to do everything that ix proper and necessary for the enjoyment of their license, but they cannot vary or depart from its terms. All men auder certain conditions, he says, are entitled to use their property as they please. In conclusion he recommends that the applica- tion to revoke the permit be retused. kcal INGALLS TALKS ABOUT RICHES. He Says He is a Statesman Out of a Job— Attractions at Glen Kcho Today. Correspondence of The Evening Star. Grex Eouo, Mp., July 1, 1891. Yesterday was a red-letter day in the history of the Glen Echo Chautauqua, for the crowd in the amphitheater was larger than ever be- fore and a more enthusiastic audience couldn't be found. Senator Ingalls commenced his lec- ture at about 3 o'clock and spoke for over an hour on “The Probleme of Our Second Cen- tury.” He began by paying a very high trib- ute to the genius which had conceived this vast enterprise and the skill which had com- pleted it. He said it was one of the brightest jewels of the many in Washington's crown. He spoke very enthusiastic words about Wash- ington, the capital of the Union and the most nearly perfect city in the world in climate, in society, in politics. He took occasion to declare that the capital of the republic would never be moved from its present site. The first problem which he dis- cussed was the danger of paternalism in the government, and he paid his respects unique way to the class of people who their debts paid by act of Congress and wonld have money as plentiful aswutumn leaves in the forest. He did not believe, he said, in having the government doing everything and the people nothing. Referring to the problem of the unequal dis- tribution of wealth he said that it was not right that 10,000,000 people should never have enough to eat in this country from one year's end to the other; nor abould it ever happen that 4 man went hungry when he was willing and able to wi ork. “And yet the reason,” he continued, “wl have not €1,000.000 ix’ because Ido not know how to get it’—a frank confession, which seemed to greatly amuse the audience.” In his own uniqne way Senator Ingalls drew @ pen picture of himself and Jay Gould, first characterizing the latter as the test object of public execration — to- t} He and I,’ he said, amid laughter and applause, “are about the mune age. We came into active life about the sume time. He entered Wall street with a patent m trap as the sum total of his capital, set it and has come pretty near catching the whole worid with it, f started west. with « grip sack, and today Iam a statesman ont of « j Tt was quite evident from Mr. Iugalis’ talk that he id not expect the present condition of affairs to speedily change, for he said that i all the wealth in the Unitec States were to be equally divided now in six months there would be soma people riding in palace cars, some in buggies, some would be walking end some would be sitting iz the fence corncrs watching | the procession go by. | “Above all,” beaded, “there would be heard ¢ of the irrepressible reformer livelihood by the :crapiration of his j r than by the sweat of his brow. He said that he would like to have a private car, a steam Yacht und other luxuries, and that the’ reason why he did not have them was in himself. If some men were rich and others were poor it Was the fault of the Creator. He would not, he said, disguise the fact that the present wax a momentous crisis in the history of this country aud that all the forces of demoralization were marshaled for the con- test. He had no doubt of the outcome of the fight. There would be in the future a broader liberty, larger opportunities for happiness and greater prophecies for the development of the nation the mind of man could now con- ceive. THE ATTRACTIONS TODAY. The long prophesied rain came at last this morning in a gentle shower which laid the dust and cooled the air, making Glen Echo doubly pleasant. ‘The first lecture was by Dr. Wright on “Palestine as It "and immediately following Dr. |L. K. Sanders, who has been on the grounds since the opening, and who has very successfully conducted the’Greek und Hebrew cluxses, gave an entertaining lecture on “The Village and Folk Songs of Southern India.” Dr. Sanders has spent several years in that in- a country, and his lectire was very on- joyable. Instead of alecture at 2:80 there was acon- cert by Rogers’ Band and the assembly soloists, Giuseppe Vitale played an exquisite melody | and Miss C. Gertrude Smith saug a bewutiful soprano solo, “Aris From St Cecilia's Day.” Then Prof. Baker and Miss Smith sang a duet, which was heartily applauded. Prof. Woodruff played a solo on the organ and Prof. Baker sang’a tenor solo. ‘The chorus was absent, as a great many of them are unable to reach the grounds before evening.
