ltcanism. Many things about this
Convention proved surprising % many
people. Party fealty b ct low eoo;
the season y IN extremely busy one;
the nominations azs forsgone conclu-
sions; the reduced iArs on railroads u
abolishsd-all these reasons and many
more wsrs given BY the Ill wishen Of
the Republican party Why the ap-
preaching CONVENTION would prove
tame. lame and slim aflair. All the
Democratic cohorts. no matter under
what nag they may just now be en-
rolled, laid this dattering junction to
their souls and uttered prophesies IN
which the wish was parent Of the
thought. 6ome weakened Republic
cans listened, and, hesitating rashly
to enroll themselves with men known
. late enemies and ct the best but
unsafe leaders, for time hardly knew
where they were.
But this uncertainty has now all
passsd Into certainty. The Conven-
ton proved moro even than it, met
sanguins friends hoped. The voice OF
the would-bs prophets Il hushed In
confusion, and the unsettled Republic
cans feel that the prompting which
involuntarily pointed their course to-
ward the party whore they had assist.
ed In the accomplishment Of 20 much
good W. but the turning Of the ever
true needle to the pole. Not only
strong In number and msterial, but
also wise and prudent In action, the
Republican CONVENTION Of Iowa
proved . proper and true exponent Of
the masses Of the people. and q such
its result will be hailed with saeisfac-
ton ftom al parts Of the State. Az
atated elsewhere, In . quotation from
paper published ct the capital, "the
farmers OF tho State had an over
whslming majority among the men-
bers and guided the policy and shaped
the cosrse Of the Convention" which
may to no small extent account for the
eminent honesty Of that policy and
practical good sense Of that course.
Neither the platform adopted nor
the candidates nominated need encon-
iums 1t our hands. The former 10 the
outspoken convictions Of right and
justice made By men who were from

not fail to represent them correctly.

tionable throughout.

Hon. Joseph Dyssrt, . man Of the
people. practical farmer - well ~ an
legislator, is named for
the second place on the ticket with
the perfect confidence which "tried
and found not wanting" alone can
give.
J. NJ. Beck for Judge Of the Supreme
Court and Alonzo Abernethy for
Of Public Instruction,
come both Of them with the satisfac-
tory record of honest and able service.
We are not OF those who draw any
portion Of their satisfaction at the
from the fact that nom.
ination or denomination was due this
or that man. 1t is not to what is due
the Office holders, but to what 10 due
the people whose servants they are,
that We look. When, - In this case,
men are nominated Of whose ability
70 serve the public most efficiently
and Of whose integrity to serve it most
there 10 no reason for doubt,
then they are good ones-as good a.
mans short sighted wisdom will
permit any party to make, no matter
by what high sounding name it pro-
claim itself. Such are the nominees
Of the Republican Convention, and -
such they will be triumphanty elected
over any and ali opposition.
