MaeVicar was defeated and Mr. Chaffee has worked day and night assiduously for the nomination of Mr. Parr of Mltchellville, who is also a good man and who showed his republicanism Jn the convention when his opponent was nominated on the eleventh ballot by moving- that the nomination -be made unanimous and urging that all his friends get out and labor for the election of Mr.

Britton at the polls. Britton is a prominent river fronter on the court house question and believes in allowing the people to rule, and since Supervisor Chaffee broke faith with the people of Polk county and tried to defeat the will of the majority of the voters an effort has been made to down him and any candidate that he might favor, and this effort has been successful in the selction of a man whom everybody who knows him loves and respects. Britton is all right and will be elected by a handsome majority, no matter whom the democratis nominate for the position. THE RESOLUTIONS. Large Number Presented to tlic Committee for Adoption.

The committee on resolution met in the Capital office. The following were adopted by the convention: The republicans of Polk county in convention assembled congratulate the nation upon the successful and triumphant termination of the war with Spain and are proud of the valor displayed by our soldiers and sailors on land and sea.

CROPS ARE SERIOUSLY HURT Items of Interest to All the of Importance. Grand Junction, June On Saturday evening at a late hour a hail storm spread over a certain area two miles west of here, creating considerable damage to crops and buildings. A funnel-shaped cloud was also observed in the region of Dr, McWllUams' farm. It picked up a barn almost new, 30x60 and completely destroyed the same, but did not harm other buildings near by.

The damage to crops by the hail is considerable as the strip of hail is reported to have been fully two miles wide and extending for ten miles in length. Iowa Briefs. Webster City.Juce 39.

It seemed to be the general impression we ri that ihe mayor by his persistent andj a obstinate iloor management in the convention destroyed every semblance of chance Williams may have had for securing the nomination for m-asurer. The making of the motion to lay the report of the credentials committee- on the non-debatable was the first blow.

It was a most foolish motion and aided materially in lining up the McKay forces. The mayor followed this motion up with inquiries and motions and counter motions until everybody became disgusted with his style of conduct. His action as the Williams floor manager materially aided the McKay forces, and nothing- was required on the part of the McKay people except to let the mayor have the rope.

At the morning cession there had been appointed the usual permanent organization and th'3 whole battle seemed to hinge around the report of the committee on credentials. Previous to hearing the credential report, the convention listened to a aeric-fi of speeches from Hon. A. B. Cummins, Lafe Young, County Superintendent Brenton, T.

A. Cheshire and Jud George Carr. When the committee on credentials appeared and the report stated that in their opinion th-3 convention should all the delegates as returned by the judges at the two eidss began to buckle on their harness for the affray.

Then came the vote for treasurership resulting on the first ballot 02 for McKay, 93 for Williams and 16 for Babcock. At 4:20 the second hallot resulted in a vote of 133 for John McKay, 16 for Williams and 52 for Babcock. A stampede was made in the convention by the Williams forces to their vote to Babcock, but it failed ir purpose, th-2 McKay forces standing firm and solid. After the announcement the vote for county treasurer giving a majority to McKay, the delegates went wild Cheer after cheer went up aTid the victorious hosts rejoiced as they rarelj do at a convention. When order was obtained the chair ir.ah announced that a ballot was necessary for the gel-action of a candi date for sheriff.

He had more than got the words out of his mouth than the of H. C. Windsor and Sheriff Stout were withdrawn. This was fol lowed by a declaration on the part the delegates that the nomination George Matters be made by acclama tion, which was accomplished jiffy.

Such a cheer went up when the chairman of the committee on resolutions ead the hearty endorsement or the lection of Hon. A. B. Cummins of this ity for the position of United States enator that the very rafters in the Tabernacle seemed to acknowledge the alute. The reader could hardly finish nd when he did some one yelled with lelight, "What's the matter with Cumnins!" It was followed with cheer af- er cheer.

The republicans of Polk county take pride in the record of their distinguished fellow townsman, Hon. A. B. Cummins. They recognize his valuable services to the party, his rrreat ability, the vigor of his manhood, the honesty and courage of his convictions, his services as a member of the national committee in the great campaign of 1S96.

which brought the magnificent victory for honest money and has resulted in greater wages for the laborer and unexampled prosperity for all. He has lived in our midst for nearly a quarter of a century. We know his public spirit, his private character, and public career. We realize his devotion to the principles of the republican party and how forcibly and persistently he lias maintained them in the past. He is alive to all the gi-eat questions that now demand solution at the hands of the American people and their representatives, and is possessed of that broad statesmanship, that clear insight, rthat manlj vigor, to properly represent this great state and all its interests in the councils of the nation.

Therefore, Be it resolved. That the republicans of Polk county, in convention assembled, take pride and pleasure in presenting the name of Hon. A. B. Cummins to the republicans of Iowa, and to the republican members of the next general assembly, as a candidate for the position of United States senator from Iowa.
