Iowa is in this city 1 When asked if a large attendance was expected at the convtion Clarkson said: have re ceived over seven thousand applications' for tickets and about every other mem her of the committee has been similarly appealed to There never has" been such a clamor for tickets Republicans every where seem to look on this as the most important convention of the party since Lincoln was norrinated on its de liberations the whole future of the party will depend It promises to be a delib erative council of men who will seek by conference and concessions the best in terests of the party rather than those any man It will be' a body that be stamped by any sensational move ment We have had enough dramatic conventions and tragic about the one is wise enough to predict that now I can only toll you the gen eral party feeling in tho west more cs peciallytin Iowa In tlie first place wo consider Blaine absolutely out of the race by his own motion 'Admiration and esteem for him in Iowa has not abated but increased I I know person ally that he did not want the nomina tion in 1884 and yielded only to the earnest appeals of his friends to become a candidate I I about the other talked of aro Depew His cock Sherman Harrison Gresham Aljer Rusk Hawlev Stanford and Al lison There is a good deal of talk i of (Julloni and oraker as background can didates question should be solved chances of nartv success could be a party vote that is if the re publican party could itself be a candi there could be little doubt that it would because of its business and pa triotic policy and good record receive a majority of (lie votes: Tho candidate should be one who most nearly repre sents the policy of the republican party who has the maximum of pergonal'and party strength and the minimum of per sonal and factional animosities He must be a man sound ion the tariff and finance and true to American industries and labor He must be a man whose nomination would exalt no faction and humiliate none Above all he must have superior strength in I New York New Jersey Connecticut Indiana aqd the Pacific coast If Depew who sis Jone of thp three or four greatest Americans of his daj'Avas in private life he would un doubtedly be the candidate His weak ness is that of his business relations in its effect on the anti monopoly states of the west Sherman who has grown up contemporaneously with tho great party and figured prominently in all its great acts will go into tho convention with more votes than any other candidate 1 do not know whether the old animosities against him in New York have died out nor do I know if his record on silver arid the Chinese question would weaken him inithe Pacific states I Either Harrison or Gresham would make a good presi dent If either had Ihis state for him without any of the local quarrels in volved he would make an acceptable cahdidate Harrison is especially pop ular in the states west of the Missis sippi and Gresham is upon' as one of the rising men' in American pub lic affairs In Iowa we think that Mr' Allison with his twentyfivo years! of level headed record' in congress always standing by the business interest of tho country and by the protective tariff I would fill the measure of party strength He was the one senator in the west who inithe days of inflation stood squarely by hard money and i resumption But he and the republicans of Iowa believe that the main thing and the first duty is to unite" in selecting a man who can most certainly be elected Wo have ino desire to press a candidate against party judgment or interest but
