The great Anti Monopoly State
Convention-thst gathering of the
pure and honest who were to prove
themselves the salt Of the earth-took
plsce 1t DesMoines last week, We'd
nesdsy. We publish on the outside
Of this paper, . sketch Of the conven-
ton and it's proceedings. All who
went into the movement with hon.
esty Of purpose must now be about
willing TO admit that the Republican
papers were right when they said it
had been captured bodily by political
tricksters and hungry Office seekers.
None Of the candidates who were put
in nomination have anything to com
mend thsm to particular favor, while
some Of them are absolutely below
par in al respects. The platform is
one Of the most duplex achievements
of that Prince Of political double-fac-
ing, VIM. n. Stone-the man who as
. Republican Office holder was charg.
ed by the opposition with fraud and
dishonesty 20 long and so loudly that
Republicans finally come to believe it
and dropped him, when where should
be turn up but running and making
platforms for that self. same old oppo-
sition party.

THAT OTHER CONVENTION

This, Of course, refers to the Re.
publican Convention for this county.
held in Upton, last Saturday. It was
4 political meeting in most marked
contract to the one held there Just one
week previous. Each Of the seven.
teen townships in the county were
represented BY delegates, and every
delegation save one we're reported q
bringing the proper credentials of
electi"n by . primary meeting. More
than th ., nearly every deieksre from
the several townships wss i bis sess,
the actual number presens not falling
. half dosen short Of the full repre-
zen, alton. A revival Of party inter-

JUDICIAL,

The Judicial Convention for this
District met At Cedar Rapids last
Monday. The District, which EN-.
braces Benton, CO dar, Iowa, Johnson.
Jones and Linn counties, WA fully
represented in the convention, which
did its business speedily and we'll.
Organization having been effected,
it transpired that there was no shad.
ow Of opposition to the denomination
Of James H. Rothrock for Distric,
Judge, and he was accordingly unan
imously declared to be the choice o,
the convention.
For District Attorney, an informa
ballot developed several candidates
but it only took seven ballots to set
tie that matter in favor Of Milo r
Smith, Of Iowa county, BY the decis
i've majority of fifty-nine votes out O
sixty-6ve.
The candidates thus nominated We
place herewith at the head of oul
columns the first named among the
standard bearers for the campaign o,
1874. We can say nothing, perhaps
that will SO strongly indicate the ap.
proval with which the public regard
Judge Rothrock's able occupancy o,
this important position, as to give the
following resolution which was adopt
ed without . dissenting vote by the
Judicial Convention Of the Anti-Mo-
nopoly party, which met at the same
time and place with our own;
RESOLVED. That belisvisg In the
policy and propriety Of . non partisan
judiciary. and rep0sing confidence 10
the integrity end ability of Hon. J. H
RoeosoCk, ~ recommend him n the
psopes elthis judicial district - . prop
sr candidate for Judge.
Mr.. NJ. p. Smith, the candidate for
Prosecuting Attorney,is . young man
who left IN advanced position in COL
Lge to participate with honor and
distinction in the war against rebel
lion. The war closing, he graduated
from the law department Of the Mich.
igan University, and has since been
practicing his profession 1t Msrengo.
He is . man against whom nothing
can be said-pesonally, professional
~ or politically, and we welcome him
to . place on the ticket which, for us,
must consist Of such men throughout.

The following is the best endorse.
ment which the editor Of the Clinton
Age, Anti Monop, is able to give to
the mongrel platform adopted BY the
State Convention. 1t does not need
A. Wards explanation. "The follow.
is wrote sarlkastic:"
"The platform adopted is . good
thing Of its kind. That is it il cum
ningiy and shrewdly drawn as those
documents usually are. How any
mortal man, possessed of his Ave
senses, can help finding something in
this platform to admire and approve
Of We cannot understand. It is .
sort of universal net with the holes 60
arranged that nobody can escape its
meshes. It has q single plank which
standing by itself is sufficient to bold
up party twice rs large, and it ha.
other planks which mean just any.
thing person wants them to. The
re-enactments of certain truths Of the
Declaration Of Independence, is op
perfume and full of meaning"

Farmers in Morgan and adjoining
counties Of Illinois are greatly alarm
ed ct the vast number Of chinch bugs
which have appeared among the corn
and spring wheat. Some fields Of the
latter have been entirely ruined, and
the corn, in many cases. is black
with them. The self-raking reapine
machines, in cutting winter wheat,
rake up bushels Of bugs. This wheat
10 entirely harvested, and the bug.
cannot hurt it, but they are going &c
adjoining fields. A heavy rair
would wash them away considerably
and there is good prospect of tina
soon.

The burning Of the bodies OF The
dead, instead Of covering them up in
the earth, is now matter Of discus
sion. The cemeteries near to large
cities like London for instance, are
said to have become nuisance, an
actual injury TO the living, and 80 the
subject is mooted Of burning the bod
les. Upon the threshold of The con.
treversy religious views arc urged in
opposition, and ALEC the natural re-
vnlsion OF human feelings to thus
blotting out the forms of the loved
and lost
ltcan hardly be question to inter-
est us here in the Great West, whera
there Is so much room for the conve.
nience Of both the dead and living.
