Redbook-1893 (24GA).Pdf NOgse>?3 class IOWA STATE TRAVELING LIBRARY JAMES W. GRIMES, OOVERNOR OF IOWA. 1854. IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER BY THE SECRETARY Of STATE. BY ORDER OF TEE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. 1893. Introductory- HE IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER, compiled and published for the past few years through the State Department, was, by an T act of the Twenty-fourth General Assembly, made a State document; thus its future publication was assured and its distri- bution definitely provided. Heretofore the editions have been limited to comparatively few volumes, consequently their judicious distribution, placing them where they would accomplish the most good, was a task not easily executed; hundreds of applications for the book have been rejected because the edition was inadequate to meet the demand, and a newspaper notice from persons wishing to purchase one or more copies to complete the set, is not unfrequent. The marked approval of the OFFICIAL REGISTER by the news- papers of the State, as well as by scores of letters from individuals who regard it as invaluable in their business relations, is of itself a matter of pride to the department, as well as a reasonable motive for its existence. The following is the act of the General Assembly: CHAPTER 64. PRINTING AND DISTRIBUTION OF IOWA OFFICIAL REGISTER. AN ACT to provide for the printing and distribution of the IOWA OFFICAL REGISTER. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Iowa: SECTION 1. That the Secretary of State is hereby authorized and directed to compile and publish annually, ten thousand copies of the IOWA OFFICIAL REGIS- TER, to contain historical, political, and other statistics and facts, of general value, but nothing of a partisan character. 4 INTRODUCTORY. SEC. 2. The distribution for the year 1893 shall be as follows: To members of the Twenty-fourth General Assembly, forty copies each; the balance to be dis- tributed to the newspapers of the State, to county and school officers, school principals, public libraries, colleges, seminaries, and State institutions, and other citizens or institutions, either private or public, at the discretion of the Secretary of State. After 1893, the distribution shall be made as above, except as to the members of the General Assembly, which shall be to the members last elected. SEC. 3. The cost of said printing and binding shall not, in any case, exceed the legal rate for printing and binding as established by law, and the bill for the same shall be audited by the Secretary of State and approved by the Executive Council.

He did not attend college, but did educate himself enough to become a school teacher in Tennessee. In 1855, Stone moved to Eastport, Mississippi, where he served as the station agent for the Mississippi and Ohio Railroad at Iuka. Upon the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, he joined the Army of the Confederate States of America in April and fought in several major battles, including “Sharpsburg” (Antietam) in Maryland, “The Battle of Wilderness” in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, and “Gettysburg” in Pennsylvania. In 1865, he was dispatched to Mississippi to round up absentees and deserters, and was eventually captured during a fight in Salisbury, North Carolina while trying to return to his command. He was sent to Johnson’s Island, Ohio and then released on July 25, 1865. After the war, he returned to his position as station agent for the M. & O. Railroad, and was later elected mayor and treasurer of Tishomingo County, eventually serving in the Mississippi State Senate. Stone is the longest serving governor in Mississippi history with two terms – 1876 to 1882, and again from 1890 to 1892. When Governor Ames resigned in John Marshall Stone Papers, 1899-1900 PP-002 2 1876, Stone was made President Pro Tempore, or acting governor, of the Mississippi Senate.

Wilson and Party Politics, 1855-1895 LEONARD SCHLUP ONE OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS of Iowa Republican- ism, James F. Wilson (1828-1895) represented his party and his state in the United States House of Representatives from 1861 to 1869 and the United States Senate from 1882 to 1895. A number of his contemporaries have been the subjects of excellent studies, and various memoirs and autobiogra- phies have helped to illuminate certain personalities and events of the period. ^ Yet Wilson's political career has re- ceived comparatively little notice. In the accounts of his con- temporaries, he appears in scattered references to isolated fragments of his life, while the general surveys of Iowa history either ignore him or mention him only briefly.^ He deserves better treatment. This essay sketches the outlines of Wilson's political career and suggests his role as conciliator in Iowa's Republican party politics. I hope the essay will help readers see Wilson's political career in a broader perspective 1.
