while the latter, with lSS votes, ruled
the Convention and dictated the
Platform.
Hon. J. C. Knapp, of Van Buren
County, was nominated for Governor
by acclamation; M. NJ. Ham, Of Du-
buque, for Lieut.. Governor, and
Edward M. Mumm, of Lee County,
for Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton, both by acclamation; and Hon.
John F. Duncomb, of Webster Co.,
for Supreme Judge, on second ballot,
by majority of % votes over Walter
J. Hayes of Clinton. Hon. John P.
Irish was chosen Chairman of the
State Central Committee, by accla-
nation and with great applause.
The Platform adopted embraces
thirteen Resolutions. Our columns
being so much crowded this week i,
we defer publication of itin full until
next issue. The gist of it, or rather,
the most prominent points, are in
the first and second Resolutions,
which read in full as follows:
Resolreol, That we recognize our
binding obligations to the Constitu-
tion of the United States as 1t now
exists, without reference to themeans
by which the same became the SUI
preme law of the land.
Re.olred, That we will faithfully
support the Constitution of the
United States as it now exists, and
that we demand for it n strict con.
struction SO rs to protect equally the
rights of States and individuals.
1t is worthy of remark that these
Resolutions were adopted unani-
mously. Thus have the Democracy
Of Iowa surrendered Internationally
to the Republicans-and stolen their
old clothes. Thus do they belle all
their past record, and declare in SO
many words that they have been
wrong aud wrong only and utterly
from tho beginning. But their
repentance-as it might be called il
there were any real repentance about
twill prove very much like that
of the Down-Easter who came into a
Chemists Office in Boston with big
bundle of stuff tied up in n yellow
bandanna handkerchief. "DOctOr,"
says he, ~ wish yeou'd jest kinder
examine that, and tell me what yeOu
think Of it," "Certainly," replied
the Doctor, opening the bundle and
looking'at the contents; II can dc
chat without examination. YOU
probably think it to be gold, but it''
nothing but iron pyrites, and utterly
valueless." "Not gold, did yeou
say, Doctor?" "Nothing like gold
my good fellow, am sorry to tell
YOU" "Well," sighed the poor
fellow, with wOe-begone air,
"there's an old widder woman up in
our town that has hull hill full OF
that stuff, and I've been and married
her!" The Democrats Of Iowa have
"been and married her." but the
gold they hoped 10 gain will hardly
buy the sackcloth and ashes with
which they will adorn themselves
next October.
Our worthy neighbOr Of the Demo
crat, who was one Of the reputed
fathers of this "New Departure"
bantling in the State Convention,
will doubtless permit US to refer to
the subject hereafter during the cam
paign-though he cannot but be
sorry that we have kept file of his
paper.

a top buggy wagon and started down 10
Lexington on business You see they
lived about twelve miles out of Iexing-
ton One was named Burr-the other
Clark. About six miles from Lexington
they passed track of land belonging to
man named Baker. 1t had a brook
running through gully on it.
"'Tom,' says Burr, coming TO the
gully, IF Baker wanted to build pond
all he would have to do would be to
throw wall across that gully
"'1es,' saya Clark, but Tom don't
want a pond

GEN. LoGAN's STAFF.-Just before
The capture of Savannah, Gen. Logan,
with two or three of his staff, entered the
depot at Chicago one morning, to take the
cars east, on his way to rejoin his COM

upon the platform of a car, and was about
to enter it. but was stopped by an Irish
man with;
''Ye'l not be goiI' in there"

How IT WoULDN'T WoRK.-Good Mr.
Snake had been talking to little Calvin,
in Sunday school, about the evils which
result from using tobacco, and told him
how, when he was little boy, he had
met a gentleman in the street with
segar in his mouth, and he asked him to
throw it away, and how the gentleman
said
''My boy, you have taught me lesS
son." and never smoked again.
So little Calvin tried it. He asked the
first man he met to ''Please throw away
that filthy segar," but the man was not
on the throw, and all he said was, "Pll
learn you manners, you little fool you,"
and he cuffed little Calvin's ears till his
nose bled.
Little Calvin thinks things are changed
since MIR. Snake was boy.

a GOOD story is told of an eccentric
old gentleman, who, although occasionally
addicted to the habit of swearing, was
still punctilious in regard to saying grace
at the table, and this duty he never omit

on a certain occasion the old gentleman
invited sea captain, jolly old weather
beaten tar of his acquaintance, to dine
with him. They sat down to dinner, and
the old gentleman, according to custom,
commenced saying grace but the captain,
whose attention had heen diverted for the

a MEAN AND AMUSING TRANsAC CrIoN
COMBINED AT recent sale of real es-
tate in Vernon, VT, house was sold that
was occupied by a widow and a sick
daughter. After the sale the mother ask
ed the purchaser to allow her to remain
in one Of the rooms until her daughter
was better able TO be removed, but was
met with decided refusal. Kind hands
were at once enlisted in her behalf and
the sick girl removed to the south par: of
the town, which of course retarded her
recovery. This was the mean part,
and now for the amusing one. The next
day the purchaser was surprised by the
reception of n box neatly addressed to
himself. He at once opened his prize,
and, to hia astonishment, was mot by the
compliments of living skunk-a fitting
companion for such mean specimen of
humanity. The last heard of the man lie

HOW 1T HAPPENED.


/ pray you, pardon me, Elsie,
Aud smile that frown away
That dims the light of your lovely face
AS thunder-cloud the day.
Ireally could not help it,
Before thought, twas done
And those gray eyes flashed bright and cold.
Like an icicle in the sum-
was thinking Of the summers
When we we're boys and girls,
And wandered in the blossoming woods,
And the gay winds romped with your curls.
And yon seemed to pe the same little girls.
kissed in the alder.path,
I kissed the little girls lips, and alas
l have reused woman's wrath.
There is not SO much to pardon
For why were your lips so red?
The blonde hair fell in a shower OF goid
From the proud provoking head
And the beauty that flashed from the spien-
did eyes,
And PLAYED round the tender mouth,
Rushed over my soul like warm sweet wind
That blows from the fragrant south.
And where, after all, is the harm done?
believe we were made to be gay,
And of all the youth not given to love
Is vainly squandered away.
And strew through LIES low labors,
Like gold in the desert sands,
Are loves swift kisses and signs and VOWS
And the clasp Of clinging hands.
And when you are old and lonely,
In Memory's magic shine
You viii see on your thin and wasting hands.
Like gems, these kisses of mine.
And when You muse at evening
at the sound of some vanished name,
The ghost Of my kisses shall touch your lips
And kindle your heart to flame.
