REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
Adopted at Minneapolis, Sept. 10th, 1874.


We misrepresentation of the Republican
party of Minnesota, in State Convention as
sembled, do hereby adopt and declare the
following:
Resolved, That while reatfirming the prin-
ciples and renewing the pledges enunciated
and given by the Republican party in its
last State and National Conventions, and
recognizing the ability and general fidelity
which have mnrked both State and nation
al administrations in the discharge of the
public trusts respectively committed to
them we can point with especial pride to
the firm maintenance of our foreign rela-
tons upon the basis of justice and right,
and such as has secured respect and friend
ship abroad and peace and confidence at
home; the judicious enforcement of all
laws having for their object the protection
of all classes of our citizens both North and
South in their just, civil and political
rights, and the whole country against the
perils Of instruction and new rebellion,
the preservation of the public faith and the
constant improvement of the public credit;
the reduction of the public debt and the
consequent removal of the burdens of tax
alton; the preservation of sound currency
speculative interests, which may be hailed
as sure guarantee of the earliest possible
return to specie payment consistent with
the ust rights of both the debtor and credi-
tor classes of our people; and above all
the constant vigilance manifested in hunt
ing out and exposing to public condemna-
ton delinquent officials and corruption in
Office wherever and whenever found, re-
CARELESS of supposed party interests and
party relations, and the correction of all
abuses as fast as discovered its prompt re-
spouse to the popular demand by the repeal
of the Congressional salary bill and other
obnoxious legislation, and its readiness to
grapple with new issues growing out of the
relations of corporate power and produc-
tive industry by the Inauguration of meas
ures looking to the protection of the latter
against all unjust encroachments of the for
mer, and by the opening up of new and
cheaper channels of communication by wa
ter between the granaries Of the West and
the markets of the East, as sure guarantees
that the grand old party that saved the
country is still true to the principles that
gave it birth, in hearty sympathy with the
popular will able and willing to admins
ter the government in the interests of an
enlightened economy and just regard to
the public welfare, and is worthy the conf
dence and support of the people. a:.,~<
itesotued, That we heartily approve of the
action of Governor Davis in relation to the
prosecution of the persons charged by the
report Of the Senate committee with de-
fauding the school fund. Z - 2 1: .e-. 4! +.

old Lyman Beecher was once
urged by some friends to prosecute

II once threw a folio of divinity at a
skunk 1 got new suit of clothing,
and had to pay for the reminding of
the volume" We are not sure, but
Lyman Beecher's son may proftably
learn lesson from this experience of
his father. 1t is urged that he ought
to make reply to the last statement
Of Mr.. Moulton. But if he were to
do SO the result would probably be
another just such squirting of filth
as the whole country is now pro-
nouncing too atrocious and disgusting
to be tolerated in any decent circle

The tobacco growers Of Virginia
have been unfortunate this season.
In some of the counties where this
product has been extensively cult
waited there will not be one-twentieth
of the usual crop secured ; in other
counties the crop will seldom yield
more than one-half or one-third of the
customary product. according to a
correspondent of the Richmond En-
q4irer, who has investigated the mat
ter very thoroughly.

Searching investigation is being
made in Canada into the alleged cor

for the Dominion Parliament in the
recent election. At the London elec-
ton trial Edward Harris, solicitor for
Major Walker, the successful candi-
date, testified that he contributed &c.
900 out of his own pocket towards
election expenses. The Chief Justice
remarked: "For professional gen.

to hobble from the house, cursing to
himself for shame, while 'Tenty buried
her face in her apron and cried as
if fifteen, instead Of fifty, assailed her
with its sorrows.
Why did she cry? Who knows =?
Perhaps, if you, my dear friend, long
ing for the face that bloomed, the lips
that kissed, and the eyes that smiled
for you, years ago, should suddenly
be confronted by those features, after
years of death and decay had done
their CHASTITY work on them, bones
grinning from their clinging morsels
Of clay, you too, might hide your head
and cry with terror and disgust and
regret. And again you might not.
As I said before, who knows?
But after this, Content subsidized in-
to her peaceful routine. Ned Parker
drank himself into the delirium-tre-
mems, spent all his money, and came
upon the town. But at that juncture,
the Reverend Everett Goodyear,
Parson Goodyear's son and successor,
interfered in his behalf, hired a
room and a nurse for him, and had
him taken care Of in the most gener-
Gus and faithful way for the remain
ing year-and-a-half of his life. Mr..
Goodyear said he was acting for Park
er's friends !; some said he had rich
uncle, who was moved to compassion
at last; some thought it was Hannah
Ann Hall |; but only one person
knew, and she said nothing.
The day Ned Parker died, the
young minister stepped in to see
'Tenty Scran', and told her he was
gone. Content did not cry nor smile.
"I'm glad he's rested" said she ;
though I haven't no certainty about
his state hereafter"
"You must leave that with the
Lord, Miss Content" said Mr.. Good
year. "You have done what was
right; you can't think He will do
less"
That's fact; and now I expect
my last trouble is over"
"But it has taken almost all your
money" hesitatingly replied the minis
ter.
"Well, that's the least Of my con-
Germs, Mr.. Goodyear" smiled 'Tenty.
I'm spared my hands yet, and I
sha'n't want for nothing while they
last. When I get helpless, I expect
the Lord will take care of me.
sha'n't worry about it till it comes. -
''That is philosophy, certainly" said
Mr.. Goodyear.
II don't know as it's that; but
guess it's six of common-sense and
half-a-dozen of religion; I always
thought they was near about the same
thing. Fact is, people don't die Of
troubles in this world they die o.
frettin' at 'em, only they don't seem tc
know it"
According to that rule, you won't
die this long time, Miss 'Tenty," said
the minister, unable to resist smile.
"Well, don't know, Sir. I guess
shall live as long as I want to; and
I expect I shall die content. I ant
troubled"
Blessed are the meek, for they
shall inherit the EARTH" murmured
Mr.. Goodyear, as he walked away.

Miss Mary Louise Hulburt, the
beautiful and accomplished daughter
Of the Rev. Victor Hulburt, of Stone
ridge, New York, met with sudden
and painful death fortnight since.
She sang in the gallery, and the last
notes of the first hymn she sang with
great clearness and precision. AS
she touched her seat she threw her
arms around her brothers neck, blind
and unconscious, and died soon after,
her death being attributed to the
breaking Of blood vessel in the
brain, superinduced by the exertion
of singing.

While in attendance at the State
and Congressional Conventions last
week, we took some pains to ascertain
the feeling throughout various por~
tinns OF the State in regard to our
next United States Senator and from
all that we can learn-and we sought
to got at the facts whether favorable
or unfavorable to our notions-we
think that in a great minority Of the
counties, Gov. G. X. Davis is the ia
vorite.-Duluth Tribune.
Gov. Davis is pre-eminently the
most popular man in Minnesota-a
fact all the more pleasing to contem-
template as he is in every respect
deserredy so, There is no public man
in the State who possesses so entirely
every capacity and trait of practical
usefulness as he, united with his bril-
liant abilities which are unquestioned,
and which would give him at once
front rank with the first men of the
nation and added honor to the State
that selects such man to represent
her in the United States Senate. We
do not think any Republican can
openly and honestly obtain Legis-
lative nomination in this county this
fall unless he is distinctly known
with other necessary qualifications
to be in favor of Gov. Davis and to
the people we would say, be careful
phom you select! His enemies carry
the longest political purse in Mime
sofa, are utterly INSCRIPTIONS, and
will not hesitate to use every possible
means to defeat what is Enthusiastically
the popular choice.-Lake City
Leader.
The popular candidates are d.
Wis and Ramsey, and the much moot
ed question is, whether the people
will return Mr.. Ramsey, who only
asked his present term, because he
was getting old, sand wished to step
aside for another and a Younger man,
after the expiration Of his present
term," or whether they will send Mr..
Davis, young gentleman Of unques-
toned ability, and one of whom our
State might feel proud. We do not
question the faithiulness in the per-
formance of duties heretofore devolv-
ing on Senator Ramsey, but accord
ing to his own previous statement he
should now step aside. No one ques-
tions the fitness or ability Of Gov.
Davis for the position and the only
point to be decided is, whether the
people will countenance the audacity
and cheek Of Ramsey in again asking
the position, or whether they will
come boldly to the front and openly
rebuke him by sending Davis. Ram
sey must step aside. The people will
send Representatives that will push
him aside if he does NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Enterprise.
The prospects of Gov. G. K. Da-
Wis, for the United States Senate, are
Frightening daily. Many of the
most influential journals Of the State
are expressing themselves in his favor,
and enough has already been devel-
oped to show that he is the popular
J candidate among the people, and so
far as they are concerned he will be
emphatical]y endorsed for the posi-
ton and if their Representatives in
the Legislature are true to their trust
he will be elected in all probability.

The railway which is soon to be
constructed from Naples to the top of
Mount Vesuvius will be about six
teen miles long. From the city to
the base of the mountain-fourteen
miles-ordinary rails will be used, but
for the remainder Of the way the sys-
tom Of traction by iron rails will be
adopted. The terminus, which will be
within few steps of the crater, will be
sunk lively metres under the lava. In
case Of eruption, the current would thus
be turned away from the rail, which
throughout its whole course will be
raised above the level of the soil.
