Tho Democrat entities tho Convention a groat
fact, respectable in numbers, and happily froo
from baao barnaolos and suckers who usually

DEs MONIES stare REGISTER.
DEs MONIES, H., Aug. t4.-ComMentinE on
the Convention nf yoatarday, tho Stato Register
Of this morning says: Tho ao-Rtyloa Anti-Mo-
nopoly State Convention was both failure and
SUCCESS. It was nothing but failure In the
farmers' point Of viow, in whose name it WAS
called. It was s''cceas to politicians, WHO
originated, planned, organized 1t, and carried it
out. Tho mnnipulatora Of the Convention made
snra OF scarcity Of farmers by calling it in har
vest time. 4 very fow good farmers would have
blocked their gRmo. There were but few farmers
present. and these few willing to accept Of tho
cut-and-dricd programme ticket and platform.
| Tho Convention was small, md all tho speeches
wore Democratic in tono, and bitterly antt-Ro-
publican. The Republican majority III Iowa this
full can now bo safoiy estimated at $4,000.
DEs MONIES LEADER
Tho Leader HnyB tho Iowa froemen have cut
loose, and in convention framed platform
Which reflects tho sentiments Of Iowa tug
payers, and which will be supported by tho peo-
plo. The representation was. good, much
aaologato a farmer. THO work Of tho Convention
was dono by .unschoolod politicians, while
caucuH-men and BchemerB woro given d back
scat. They camo here independent OF parties,
anu lree from party pfo1ndco, Tor the purpose
Of organizing and porfecting new party,
based upon tho living Issues Of tile day, which
will rostoro tho Government to tho people,
punish official thiovoa, frown. down Credit
hlobiltor schemes mud political rjng-mRators,
which infest evory department OF our State and
nation. 1t il pleased with the ticket and plat
form, and says victory is possible II the new
party fights.
DEs MONIES REPUBLICAN,.
The Republican says tho ticket placed in nomi-
/ nation does not fairly represent any party, or
any considerable portion Of tho people OF tho
State. Tho platform sets forth nothing now.
While 1t daro not oppose tariff system. 1t can-
not wholly give up FREQ trade. The talk Of an
expression OF wishes Of tho people by this Com
yonton il mere farce, az the far.nors were help
less in tho hauds Of tho Democratic political
HtagorB.
The Homestead. tho Grange paper issuod to-
day, makes no mention OF tho Convention.
