One OF General GHrlcld's apt illustrations to

Cedar Rapids. May 30.-The platform
which was adopted yesterday congrat-
ulates the country upon the restoration
of home rule to the South and the era
of peace brought about in response to
the demands of the national Democracy,
and makes this declaration of princi-
pies:
First-Tarifff for revenue only; honest
and economic home rule; the supremacy
of the civil over the military power; the
separation of church and state; the
equality of all citizens before the law;
and opposition to the granting of sub
sides to any corporations whatever.
Second-We denounce the financial
system of the Republican party, its
measures and its men, as responsible
for the financial distress, misery and
want which now affiict the nation.
Third-Labor and capital have equal
demands upon and equal responsibility
before the law.
Fourth-Public officers should be
held to a strict accountability, default
ers be severely punished, and riot and
disorder promptly suppressed.
Fifth-We deprecate the funding Of
our non-interest bearing debt, and in
sist that the bonded debt be refunded
at a rate not exceeding four per cent.
Sixth-We favor the equal recogni-
ton of gold, silver and United States
notes in the discharge of public and
private obligations, except when other
wise provided by contract; and to the
end that the same be secured, we favor
the unconditional repeal of the resump-
tion act, and the coinage of silver on
equal conditions with gold. We op-
pose any further retirement of United
States notes now in currency, and ia
vor the substituting of United States
Treasury notes for national bank bills.
Seventh-It is the duty of the Gov
ernment to take immediate steps to i'm
prove our great Western rivers, and the
means provided should be commensu-
rate with the Importance and magni-
tude Of the work.
Eighth-Thorough investigation into
the election frauds Of 1876 should be
made. Frauds should be exposed, truth
vindicated, and the criminals punished
In accordance with law, whenever
found. We accept and reAflirm the

Decoration of the Graves OF the Gallant
Dead

Decosa alton of the Graves Of the Gallant
Dead.
Washington May Decoration
Day was generally observed as holt
day. A national salute was fired this
morning. There were services at the
Congressional cemetery, Soldiers Home
and Arlington. All soldiers graves
were decorated at Arlington. Repre-
sentative Williams, of Wisconsin, de-
livered the memorial oration. The at
tendance at several places was not as
large as heretofore, owing, in meas
ure, to the absence of the President and
other dignitaries at Arlington.
New York, May 3O.-A detachment
of marines and seamen from the navy
yard visited the grave of Admiral Far
ragut early in the morning, and marked
it with profusion of flowers.
The observance of Decoration Day,
beginning early in the morning and
ending with the ceremonies in Booths
Theatre this evening. was perhaps
more elaborate than any celebrations
in recent years. The great feature of
the day was the parade of the FIRST di-
vision of the National Guard, but the
exercises in different cemeteries, and
the ceremonies attending the decora-
tion of different statues and monu-
ments were also extremely interesting.
The decorations of the Washington
Monument, Union square, were Of the
most profnse and elaborate description.
Gettysburg, May 3O.-The annual
tribute to the national dead, at Gettys-
burg, was paid under circumstances
of the greatest interest. Not since
President Lincoln dedicated the ceme-
terry has it been graced by SO many dis
tinguished citizens. The weather to-
day was fine, flags were everywhere
displayed, and the streets were thronged
with visitors. The Chambersburg
Grays arrived about one a. M, after
a twelve hours march. They are a
guard Of honor to President Hayes.
The morning was spent by the Presi-
dential party in viewing the battle field
and visiting prominent points, under
the guidance of Gen. Crawford and
Col. Bachelor. About noon the Pres.
ident returned to the residence of Mr..
Mcpherson, where he remained until
the beginning of the memorial exer.

WASHINGTON.


Washington, May 30.-Representa-
tives Cox, Reed and Hiscock, three Of
the four Republican members of the
Potter committee, had consultation
to-day regarding the fraud investiga-
tion, and will act understandingly at
the meeting tomorrow. Up to this
time the Republican members of the
committee have not been made aware
of the character of the documents and
testimony to be offered by the Demo-
Gratis, but enough has leaked out to
convince them that the Democrats
themselves do not regard their case as
very strong.
The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1878-05-31

THE Cheyenne Sun has a long article
"Do we want railroad to the Black
HillsY" 1t says that "a railroad would
deprive Cheyenne of large share Of
its trade and would ruin the freighting
business, and concludes that the city
does not want the road ''nnless there is
a prospect that it will be built from
some point on the Union Pacific. In
that case we want it, and not under
any other circumstances. Incredible
as it may seem, that is the argument.
and we cannot think the Sun particu-
larly bright. Omaha Republican.
The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1878-05-31

THE Omaha Herald appears to forget
that the electoral commission which
seated President Hayes was a Demo-
cratic measure concocted by them, en-
gineered by them, and carried into
effective operation only by Democratic
votes. The party gloried in the shrewd
scheme it had invented. The Presi-
dent was installed, and the Democracy
have been largely benefited by his ad-
ministration. They, however, did not
lind him a plant tool, and, having
squeezed all they were able from the
administration, they plead the baby
act, and go back upon their record and
say they were cheated, and wall pitt
iully because the Republican press do
not sympathize with them.
