The Iowa Republican convention
was held at Des Moines, Iowa, on
the 9th, 900 delegates present.
John Ii. Gear was nominated for
Governor, Frank T. Canpbell for
Lieut.. Governor, James G. Day for
Supreme Judge, Won Corlen for
Supt. of Education. There was 8
good deal of a contest over the
platform, which was finally adopt
ed. First, It declares America q ma
tion,not league, and declares it the
duty of the government to protect
all citizens at home and abroad. A
failure to protect either is crimi-
nal neglect of the highest obliga-
tons. Second, Declsrs the Repub-
lican party has preserved the gov
eminent, and will enforce princi-
pies Of Declaration of Independ-
ence, and until these principles are
enforced throughout the land the
mission of the party Is not ended,
and "the Republican party of Iowa
will stand by its cOlors and fight
the good fight to the end" Third,
Declares it to be the duty of Con-
gress to enforce the constitutional
amendments, with view of secur-
ing complete liberty TO every cili-
zen of the country. Fourth, The
public credit should DO sacredIy

resumption should be reached by

reconciliation of silver, and for
maintaining present volume of cur
rency until the wants of trade and
commerce demand its further con-
traction. Sixth, Opposes snbsi-
dies for corporations or private use.
Seventh, Rigid economy demanded

How IL works In Kansas.

The Topeka Commonwealth, in
an exhaustive article on civil SER
vice reform and the Presidents
ideas, says:
carried out, then in Kansas he must re-
move such officers as Anthony, StOtler.
MURDOCH, Ewing, Wilkinson aud others
or they should quit the newspaper BUSH
ness. Is there any danger of their re.
moVal providing they uphold the poiicy9'
And the naughty Wichita Eagle
makes this reply:
"We declare we don't know! Has the
Commonwealth heard anything? II IL is
necessary to the triumph of civil service
reform. and the preservation OF the par
y, let Anthony, Stotler, Ewing ana Will
ktns0n be bounced. From reading their
papers we are satisfied that they would
not object to any personal sacrifice that
would prove their disinterested loyalty 20
the Presidents policy. As for ourselI the
Eagle being regularly read in the cabinet,
we stand ready TO point out the adVanta.
ges TO be derived from the decapitation Of
all the other postmasters in the state"
o. B., of the Commonwealth, is
hard to please. We remember that
when Grant ran for President the
last time o. B. was red hot reform
er. He started a paper in opposition
to the Republican nominee and par
ty, and just more than "whooped it
up" for civil service reform. And
now, when Mr.. Hayes is trying to
inaugurate reform In the public SER
vice, the Commonwealth man is
tearing his hair for fear the Repub-
lican party will be ruined. If it.
will ease his pain any at all we hope
he will not miss any sleep on our
account. Of course we appreciate
his kindness, and all that, but if we
are removed we will try and get
along. We shall wait and see what
Mr.. Hayes policy brings forth.
When he came into the Presidential
chair he either had to adopt the pol
icy he did, or raise large standing
army for the south. He chose the
latter, and we think he did right.
OF one thing we can assure our
friend of the Commonwealth, and
that is that we have not the slight
est notion of quitting the newspa-
per business. If that thought trou-
bles him he may lay down at night
and sleep soundly. We are tolera-
bly, well satisfied with things as they
are running, and will not borrow.
any trouble about the post Office.
We suppose everything would go
right if all the above postmasters,
except the one at Wichita, were re-
moved. His removal would be
calamity which the public could
hardly endure, and if the Common
wealth ''hears anything" we hope it
will break the news gently. Mean
time, if we see any chance to help
the Commonwealth man to q fat
Office, we shall surely put in our
best ticks for him. er
