REPUBLICAN STATE PLAT
FORM.lS75.

We, the representatives of the Republican party
of the State Of Iowa. in convention assembled, dc
adopt the following platform of principles;
Resolced, l. That we declare it cardinal prin-
ciple of Republican faith that the Republic is a
nation. one and indivisible, within which the con-
stitutional rights of the States and of the people
to local self -gOvernment must be faithfully MAIN
tanned
,. That we favor the early attainment of cur
rency convertible with coin, and therefore advo-
cate the gradual resumption of specie payments
by continuous and steady steps in that direction.
3. That we are in favor of tariff for revenue,
so adjusted as to encourage home industry.
4. That the earnest effort of the government to
collect the revenue and prevent and punish frauds
has our unqualified approval.
5. That we are opposed to further grants Of
lands to railways or other corporations and We de-
mand reservation OF the public domain for set
Element under the homestead laws and for other
bon dde settlers.
9. That we demand such a revision of the pat
ent laws as will relieve industry from the oppres
sion fmOnOpOlies in their administration.
z. That We cordially approve the policy of the
present administration in the settlement Of diff
cnltles between ourselves and other nations by
bitration instead Of appealing to arms.
8. That the Republican party of Iowa is oppos-
ed to a third term in the Presidency.
9. That We demand that oil railway and other
corporations shall be held in fair and Just subjec-
ton to the law making power.
10. That we stand by free education. our pub
lie school system, the taxation of all for its sup
port. and diversion of the school fund from the
public schools.
II. That our National and State administration
of public affairs has our hearty approval
II. That we cordially invite all who are oppos-
ed to the restoration of the Democratic party to
power. to forget all past political differences and
unite with the Republican party in maintaining
the cause Of true reform.
49, That the persistent and tyrannical efforts
of the enemies Of the Union, by murder and in
tmidation of the newly enfranehised citizens, and
the ostracisms and prescriptions Of the white Re
publicans of the South for the purpose of render
ing null and void the Constitutional Amendments
merit the condemnation of every honest man.
That we heartily endorse the action of President
Grant in enforcing the laws when called upon to
do so by the proper authorities of the State.
Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1875-07-30

The Dubuque Times has been
making inquiries from official sources
.ot information, concerning the opera
ton Of the law under which Gov.
Kirkwood received pay for filing out
the unexpired term Of Mr.. Harlan,
about which the Democratic press
have raised a concerted howl, and
built structure of Misrepresentation.
The result of the Tines investiea-
tons is embodied in a table giving
the names of the members of the
lower House of the last seven Con-
crosses who have been elected to fill
unexpircd terms. This table shows
that in the past IA years, every men,
Der of Congress of whatever party,
who was elected to fill vacancy, re-
ceived pay precisely as Gov. Kirk
wood received it, according to rule
that has stood undisturbed for wears
and which nobody now proposes to
change. That rule was simply that
their pay should date from the death
or resignation of their Predecessors.
The table given by the Times en-
braces the names of A members who
were SO paid, 10 of whom were DEM
ocrats, among the latter some of high
standing in the party, like Judge
Woodward of Pennsylvania, S. S.
Cox of New York, and others. This
statement shows how flimsy are the
charges against Gov. Kirkwood's in
tegrity, and exhibits in its true light
the consistency of the Democratic
organs who have for IA years been
silent over the matter that they now
denounce so relentlessly.

The Sioux City Journal having
convicted the Dubuque Herald of
pirating special telegram from the
.1o"yeoi and palming it off as edi-
torial, the Herald amidts the theft,
abut with characteristic impudencc
ENDS back the Parthian thrust that
flc article in question was "the only
item it ever found worth stealing
from the Journal" Considering
that the Herald ordinarily quotes
as freely from the journal as from
any other Republican paper, the i'll
ference is that it is only fastidious
in regard to what it steals. In other
words when it is particularly brilliant
it is a sign that it has been exception
ably larcenous.

Anti.AbOIiti0n.

While a portion of the Democratic
papers of the State are denying, with
considerable heat, that their candi-
date for Governor, Mr.. Letter, did as
charged by correspondent of the
Monticello Enpress, in a speech in
ls49, liken the negros to ''dogs," and
protest against their emancipation,
here comes Sam Evans, of the Ottum-
wa Democrat, leading paper of the
Democratic party of Iowa, whose ed
itor was member of the committee
that framed the platform Of that par
ty in the late Convention, and who
is better representative of the party
to-day than Shepherd Letter, and
thus expounds has idea of sound
Democratic doctrine, and sets forth
the principles Of the party and Its
purposes when 1t shall have attained
to power. 1t may be easy, at this
late day, to deny that LETTER uttered
the sentiments attributed to him, but
what shall be said of the outspoken
words of the equally representative
man, Evans:
1T is well accepted, whether it be
expressed or not, that the Democrat
ic party is and always has been, an
anti-Abolition party. 1t recognized
the fact that England committed a
blunder when it transformed the
blooming gardens of the West Indies
into jungles where the emancipated
negro led worthless life and became
a pest to civilization, barrier to hui
man progress. 1t fought against alb
clifton in the United States to the
bitter end, and held up the example
of West Indian emancipation as
warning to the fanatics who were de-
termined OH abolition, though it
should destroy the Union. And its
last protest against the miserable
policy was its determined opposition
to the Fifteenth amendment which
was rudely forced upon the people
revolutionary methods
the Democratic party has,
through the action of cowardly lead
ers, seemingly accepted the condition
Of things, yet, to-day, the masses OF
that great and powerful organization
regard the Fifteenth Amendment as
,corth no more thon the paper upon
,chich 1t IS printed, and that when
the action Of the conspirators who
forced it upon the country has been
reviewed by an impartial tribunal, it
will be s,cept out Of existence as sum
as it acas ushere0 in."

WE hear nothing more about the phe
nomenal age of Shepherd Letter. The
Republican press did itself no honor in
the first place by taking it up. And since
it is found that Mr.. l.. is but Cd, and only
two years older than Gov. Kirkwood there
is nothing left of the tune at all, and the
sound of it is no longer heard humming
In The land State Register.
Doubtless the Republican press
will accept with due meekness, the
above rebuke from the State REGISTER,
itself so shining an exemplar of dig
nifty and courtesy in its treatment of
political opponents. If the Register
has not found out that the illusions
to Mr.. LETTERS age by its Republi-
can contemporaries are only intended
to be illustrative of his Anticipated,
hide-bound Bourbonism which antag-
onizcs every step of human progress
accomplished during the past genera
ton, and which mourns for the old
slave driving era, and aspires for its
revival; if the Register does not
know that this, and this only, is in
tended to be typefied by the mention
OF Mr.. LETTERS phenomenal age"
its obtuseness may only be properly
Iocoriho1 Inv tho game term nhunOm-
email. As an illustration of Mr.. Lief
fler's unprogressive ideas, and his
tenacious adherence to the tenets OF
a former and barbarous age of our
politics, his characterization by the
Republican press rs a political Me-
thuselah, is Legitimate and not dis
honorable, the Sir Oracle of the State
Register to the contrary notwith-
standing.

Hon. CHRISTIAN WULLwEBER of
Dubuque has received the appoint
ment and been commissioned as
United States Minister of Ecuador,
South America, the salary of which
is $1,000 per annum. No person
who knows the sterling worth and
fine abilities OF Mr.. Wullweber will
withhold his need of commentator
for this fit and appropriate appoint
ment. By it the State Department
does itself infinite credit, and at the
same time pays a graceful tribute of
recognition to the German citizens of
Iowa, of whom Mr.. Wullweber is one
of the most distinguished and able.
1t is not always that positions Of this
character are SO fittingIy apportioned,
and it is all the more honor to Mr..
Wullweber that in this case the Of
hce OF trust and responsibility comes
to him unexpected and entirely with
out solicitation by him. Mr.. Wull-
weber has not yet signified his &C
ceptance of the appointment. Being
troubled with weak lungs, he has
some hesitation concerning the nee
essary passage Of the Andes at u
high altitude in order to reach Quito,
the capital of Ecuador. The rarified
atmosphere in those elevated regions
-15, 900 feet above the sea-is trying
to the pulmonary apparatus OF the
most robust. 1t Is probable however
that Mr.. Wullweber will accept.
