Ofthe platform it gives US pleas
ure to speak in terms Of unqualified
endorsement. The financial plank
is as sound as nut, inpregnable to
assault, and points to a record Of
which the Republican party may
justly be proud. 1t calls for "specie
resumption at such time as is con-
sistent with the material and indus
trial interests of the country" and
proposes to make banking free to
the end that the volume of currency
may be regulated by the natural
laws of trade. 1t gives out no un-
certain sound concerning the nation
al debt, like its Anti-Monop coun-
terpart, offering to pay according to
"the letter of the contract" but in
terms as unmistakable as necessary
to the public credit, declares that
payment must be made according to
"both the letter and the spirit' Of
of the obligations which were Id
sued.
All the other planks are equally
clear and distinct. Congress is
asked to protect interstate commerce
from the extortion Of monopolies,
and to aid it by the Improvement OF
great natural waterways. The exc.
cution of the State law for railway
regulation is demanded, until modi.
tied or repealed protection Of civil
rights for "white and black, native
or foreign born," is imperatively re-
quired !; the exposure Of "corruption
in office, sparing neither friends nor
foes" is emphatically endorsed and
the reduction of twenty-seven mil
lions in the government expenses Of
the coming year is pointed to as evil
dence that the Republican party is
redeemlng its ,,ledges of retrench-
ment and reform.
These utterances have the ring Of
true metal. They place the Repub-
lican party on advanced grounds.
Not only hassit been the great party
of freedom in the past, but it is the
only reliable party Of reform in the
future. 1t presents noble ticket,
such a. the people should delight to
honor and its platform is one that
any citizen may proudly step upon
| as he approached the polls. The
! old flag is once more unfurled let
every Republican rally around it
once more and march on to victory.

ROW IN THE CAMP.

Good Hope Grange, No. 1913, of
McDonough county, III, has disband-

work, &C., to the State Grange. The
numbers thereof published in series
of resolutions the reasons for their
course, of which the following is a
sample:

have assumed powers that are tyran-

in the community that the officers
composing our grand or State organ
ization are not the true representa-

that the officers of the National

ANTI.MONOP PORTRAITS.

1t is pretty certain that the late
virtual Democratic convention of
farmers (?) at Des Moines put one
farmer on their ticket, viz, David
Morgan of Oskaloosa. But he is
more than a farmer, namely a rail.
road man plus chronic office-seeker.
His home paper, the Herald, says he
is an ex-President of the Iowa Gen.
trail R. r., present Director of the
M. w., candidate for President of
another railroad, and lives on 40
acre farm soorked by has SON. He

ger from the South, and the aaeat
gear aoas q candidate for Congress.
He has itched tor a nomination ever
since, but being sighted by the Re-
publican party, this railroad man has
anti-monopped. The last straw that
broke this ex-Republican's ex-R. r.
Presidents back was the failure to
get from Grant an appointment as
Indian Agent, when Quaker stock
stood so high at the White House.

that he was associated with Grinnell
in building the Iowa Central r. R.,
and Gin view of the fact that Grin
nell secured Morgan's nomination, it
is right to consider Grinnell's views
on railroad legislation. We heard
Grinnell, lately, denouncing the
Changers and their demands. He

A California Story.

In 1850 young man named Os-
borne, who had recently arrived at
the mines from the East, penniless
and friendless, was taken sick. He
told his condition to fellow adven.
turer named Hitchcock, who was q
little better off, and the latter prom
ised to'"see him through" The
promise was kept, and when after
two months of illness, Osborne arose
from his bed, his friend handed him
$3.50 to pay his expenses and pro-
cure tools, saying to him, eff you
ever get able you can pay me back,
but do not worry yourself and injure
your health in trying to make the
money, too quick" One year and
half from that time Osborne sent
Hitchcock $l,250, with the following
note: "I'll pay interest on friend
ship" His labors proved remuner-
ative, and by 1873 he was worth
$35O,OOO. While in San Francisco he
met and recognized his old friend
When they parted, after several
days companionship, Osborne gave
Hitchcock sealed package, with
the injunction that it was not to be
opened until he was on the oars.
There Hitchcock found that it con-
tanned deed for one sixth of rich
silver mine with small note con.

COLD WATER.

Farmer Clarkson, his Agricul-

The absolute dearth of good and
reasonable cause for complaint on
the part of the opposition against Re-
publican rule, has led to holding up
before the public continuously the
wrongs now occurring in South Car
olina and Louisiana. The prime
cause of all wrongs now committed
In the South, of course everybody
knows, was caused in the first in

sition but the devil is devoid of
shamefacedness, and is no sooner de-
tected and defeated in his wicked
acts than he plies bis arts in finding
fault with the situation. No reason.
able man expects that good govern
ment free from errors can at once, or
perhaps for years be maintained in
all Southern States. The trouble is
there are too many late democratic
rebels there to expect good works
very soon In that country. While,
however, the opposition are bowling
so about misrule in some Of the
States which have cast Republican
majorlties, it is quite we'll that we
should refer to the situation in Dem

1t is favorite mode of argument
with Democratic journals to refer to
South Carolina and Louisiana as hor-
hible examples of Republican rule,
and at the same time, to point to Vir-
ginia, Tennessee and Georgia as
specimen bricks of Democracy. But
what is the financial history of these
States, as developed in the increase
OF their public debts from 1860 to
1870 ? The debt of South Carolina
was $6,l92,74s in 1860, and it was in.
creased to $7,866, 900 in 1870. The

Opinion of the Chicago Press.
nntpr-OcaaD I

The platform adopted by the Re.
publicans of Iowa yesterday is most
admirable. Its utterances are not
only unmistakable, but broad, COM
prehensive, and in every way excel
lent. We commend the resolution
touching the finances and the pay
ment of the public debt to the con.
sideration of those who profess so
much admiration for the milk.and.
water avowel of the late "Reform"
Convention of the same State. What
was said by the Republicans of
Iowa ye 'terday requires no explana.
ton. The language speaks for itself
and no one can make its meaning
palmer. 1t is evident that this ban
ner State of the Union has abated
none of its old love for the party of
it's choice or for the principles which
have grown and strengthened with
its strength. We congratulate the
Republicans of Iowa on the auspic-
ious beginning of the Campaign of
1874.

Ever.faithtul Iowa.! The resolu-
tons adopted by its Republican
State Convention yesterday may be
accepted as the watch-words of the
Republican party of the whole ma
ton. They are wise, patriotic, just
covering the whole ground of cur
rent political discussion, and meeting
every issue fairly, squarely and fully.
With the excellent State ticket NOM
mated, and platform that thus sat.
isfactorily expressed the popular de-
mand, we predict a glorious victory
for the Republicans of Iowa in Octo.

The platform is tair, honorable,
and one which reiterates the senti-
ments of majority of the people of
this country. 1t embodies the prin.
cipleS which have made the Repub-
lican partystriumphant. in war and
peace. The section relative to free
banking and return to specie pay
ments at the earliest practicable day
is repetition of the expressions Of
the late Republican Convention of
this State. The platform is an ex-
cellent one, and with it the Republi-
cans of Iowa can win the coming
battles against rotten Democracy

party is managing.
