The Iowa PlatfOrm-Why Not Go n
Step Furthers

The "platform adopted by tho Rcpub-
lean State Convention Of Iowa declares
that "the Republican party of Iowa de-
mands that every qualified elector in every
State, South and North, Democrat or Re-
publican black or white, shall be permitted,
undisturbed by force and unawed by fear, to
vote at all elections, at the place prescribed
by law, and nowhere else, just once. and no
more than once; and that every vote 50 cast
shall be honestly counted"
Now that is all very well, so far as it
goes; but, suppose every qualified voter
does vote once, and that hisivote Is counted,
and after having been counted the returns
which include it are thrown out what then
avail the voting and the counting
Clearly the Iowa Republicans have not
gone far enough. They should have re-
solved that all the votes having been cast
and counted, any man getting into the
White House by means Of certain returns Of
such votes having been rejected ought to
be impcachod and ANONYMOUSLY cast out Of
his high Office,
The address Of the Iowa Republicans Is
tcrse and spirited, and couchod in such
terms as might ilttngly be employed in
dcnouncing title fraudulcntly acquired,
like that OF Mr.. HAYES. 1t was Il
great mistake for the author of this
State address to stop at the half
way house Of merely counting the votes lie
should have insisted that the votes having
been cast IA counted, the returns should be
honestly made and not traded of, as thoy
| were IN Florida and Louisiana, for promises

The socond session OF the Forty-ffth Con-
gross has shown US OF what kind Of material 1t
is largely composed. Times are hard enough.
everybody knows, and the depression in
business has continued long enough, we all
feel. Yet in the very midnight of this bust
ness darkness we find men sent to Congress
by constituents who think they have enough
tobear. voting for the widest schemes for in
crcasing the expenses of the Government.
Public expenditures have to bc paid out Of
private purscs; and member OF Congress
who advocates cxtravagant appropriations,
or votes for them, helps to increase the pres
sure Of the times.
However people may differ on other qucs-
tions it would seem practicable for all to
agree in n crisis like this in favor OF econ
omy 1t would be wiso in both political
parties to refrain from rcnominating any
Representative who in the late session voted

mist. is the chief question which should be
asked In reference to every candidate Mt the
coming election; and If that cannot be an
swcrcd in the Affirmative, he should be re-
jccted.

labor and the business OF the country Will
