So it seems that the Anti. Monopo-
~ party of Iowa has the Infamous
Tammany, ofNew York, for guide
to its feet, and the platform of that
ring for its footing. One-half of the
stump speech against the Republican
party in the Bill Stone platform was
borrowed outright from an address
lately issued TO the faithful, by Au-
gustus Schell, Grand Sachem of
Tammany. These "few lines'' from
Mr.. Schell will suffice to show the
source of Ex-Governor Stones inspi-
ration: "The foundation of the
greatness and the glory of the Amer
lean Union are imperilled to-day by
usurpation of an administration
more personal in its temper, and by
the encroachments of a party more
audacious in its contempt of limits
and of law, than have ever before
been known in our history" APPLY
enough the Council Bluffs Nonpareil
remarks: " Seeing the country is in
such a dreadful state it is really too
bad that Tweed and Connolly can't
come to the help of Stone and his
crew" -Registsy.

Ninety-three of the one hun lred
counties were represented in the
Republican State Convention last
week. The Register reports it the
largest and most enthusiastic con-
vention of the party for years.
"TEere were nearly twice as many
delegates present as were in the con-
vention Of last year." and fully
three times as many as were in the
Anti Monop. convention. The pro-
ceedings were enthusiastic and spir-
tied in all Of their features, while in
not a single instance or incident was
there the least evidence of discord or
want Of harmony. The business OF
the body was transacted in saga
cious and yet expeditions manner,
while everything was free from all
trace or mar of cut-and-dried pro-
gramme or ring manipulation. II
was, in short, such gathering as the
grand Conventions we had in Iowa
following the war days-when all
Republicans were radically in earn
est, and the party was aroused in all
of its power. Our report of the pro.
ceedings elsewhere will inform our
readers fully as to what was done"

The Fourth.

AT PLEASANTvILLE q Grange cele-
bration was held. A large throng of
people attended. The speakers were
Capt. VIM. Blain, Il. Il. Ruckman,
John Elliott, Rev. Shafer, L. NJ. Ed
wards and Miles Jourdap.
MARYsvILLE.- The celebration was
held in the woods on the banks of
Cedar river, one-fourth mile below
the town. Our estimate, on personal
observation, placed the numbers pres
ent at 1900 to 1900. The Columbia
Brass Band and Marysville Choir,
with organ accompaniment by Miss
Josie Runyon, furnished excellent
music. Prayer was offered by Rev.
Canine; Bev. J. w. Kitch read the
Declaration, and the Grafton was de-
livered by Rev. ii. f. Wallace, of
Knoxville. These exercises were fol-
lowed by basket dinner. In the after
noon Rev. J. III. Slough, of Knoxville,
delivered an address. The whole af-
fair was conducted In the most quiet
and orderly manner, and was appar-
emily highly enjoyed by all present.
KNoxvILLE. -Celebration was held
on the Public Square. The exercises
were opened at 2 p. m. with singing
by the Knoxville Musical Association.
Ed. J. II. Bly, offered prayer; b. w.
Clark read the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, and Rev. viii. s. Frackle-
ton delivered the Grafton, The eXer-
cises were interspersed with singing
Of patriotic airs. At p. m. compa-
ny of mounted masqueraders paraded
the principal streets; and in the eve-
ming there was an inferior display of
fire works. The crowd was variously
estimated at from 2000 to 5000 persons.
We cannot boast that the celebration
was grand success or that all present
were satisfied that they had enjoyed
the occasion in any extraordi nary
degree; though so far as we have
learned no serious accidents occurred,
and nothing TRANSFERRED to mar the
general pleasure. The lack of shade
was the greatest source of discomfort.
The singing, reading and speaking
J were generally complimented.
| 1t is to be hoped that the next cele-
bration attempted here will be in the
Centennial year of 1876, and that 1t
will be held either on the FAIRGROUNDS
or in some grove adjacent to the city,
where there will be no want of space
or shade. 1t il better not TO invite
people here from the country by
thousands on the 4th Of July if we
cannot offer them these two indispen-
sable elements Of comfort We are al
ways glad to see them here on such
occasions, but regret to see them go
home justly complaining that they
have not been well entertained.

have ever seen is Lyman's Historical
Chart, which presents the worlds his
tory by centuries, aud gives all the
prominent events OF the civil, relig-

from the earliest times to the present
year. The study of geography Is
aided by maps, and the study of his
tory il facilitated in IA similar manner
and degree by the use of this chart,
the plan of which may be better un-

top of each page, and the date in that

reader has spread out under his eye
the history Of century, and in such
shape that at a glance the mind takes
in the general aspect OF the whole
period, the relative Importance OF each
nation, the particular history of each,
and the contemporaneous history OF
all; and the mind is compelled to inn
