Tho 0ate City n1so comments at some length
upon tho pink Of tho platform relating to the
control Of corporations. 1t says:
Tho statea, not Congress, create tue railroad cor
noraonH. Hence, says tho valetdinarian plntforn.,

power that created them. But tho Supreme Court Of
tho United States says that tho States avo not power
to do this that Interstate transportation must ho

tho people no relief OH this score at all.
KEoKuK CONSTITUTION.
Tho Constitution, tho organ OF the anti
monopoly movement IN Lee County, tho editor
OF which, Thomas W. Claggott, was ono of the
candidates boforo the Convention for tho Office
Of Governor, in its issue of this evening, says
Tho nominees for tho different officers aro all well-
various Offices for which they have boon nominated
above cavfl dispute. Politically Mr. Vnlo IL
III tho 8tata Senate ~ representative from
eSsr an nn5sa ooSnx ,s ~ s r'9 s a
Legislature during hs term, proves him
to DO an unilnching friend of the people, and Do
tho rtgts and privileges Of tho farmers Aul o.hur
working c1asEcs. Tho Convention could not have
selected for tho office Of Governor Of tho State man
better qualified to fill the position with credit to the
6lato than Jacob Vale.
After reviewing at considerable length tho
history of the nominees for tho yarious other
Offices, it concludes as follows:
We reserve further comn,ons upon the action Of tho
Autobiography Convention and tho candidates Of tho
anti-monopoiy party until we have had IN opportunity
to rcad tho platform Of principles adopted by tho Con-
vcntion which Inns not yot como to hand Tho candi-
dates are all good mon, and well qualified to I'LL tho
spcctive Offices fur which they nominated, and wo
by all the an-nonopoista III this State. II 40 We can
zee no good reaBou for holding a Democratic Slate
Convention aud nominating another State ticket
