Illinois Republican Platform.

The delegates and representatives OF IN.
Republican party Of the State OF Illinois ~ n
convention assembled do hereby declare.
l. Our unfaltering faith In tho prlncin,o.
and patriotism of the Republican nart'
State and national, and IN its permanent X,
ness and ability over all other parties to nd.
minister the government OF both State and
nation wisely and successfully.
2. That the Democratic party, being largely
COMPOSED of recent rebels and their SWINE
thizers, can not be safely intrusted with Tia
administration of the affairs of Government:
that the partial success OF that party IN Com
gress, as well rs in several OF the states. onlv
shows its grossly partisan character and zen.
eral incapacity, and lack OF honor and patri.
otism.

spite Of the Violent opposition of the Demo.
cratic party, we express our unqualified al,
miratiOn. BY Its provisions the people have
been supplied with larger amount Of paper

than they have ever before enjoyed; Tia
credit OF the nation has steadily improved.
while both the principal and interest OF tina
public debt, as well as the burdens of nation.
III taxation, have been steadily diminished.
Such results can only be produced by hon.
esty, economy and wisdom in the manage.
ment of financial affairs.
4. We are also opposed to any further con.
traction of the greenback currency, and are
In favor of such currency as can be main.
tanned at par with, and convertible into, coin
at the will of the holder; we are in favor Of
such currency being received for import du.
ties, and we deprecate the defeat OF the 70.
cent bill for that purpose by the Democratic
House OF Representatives.
8. The permanent pacification OF the South.
ern section of the Union, and the complete
protection of all its citizens in all their civil
political, personal and property rights, is a
duty to which the party stands sacredly
pledged. In order to redeem this pledge Il
placed the recent amendments in the Consti.

righteous basis of said amendments 1t will

Foot Gear in Japan.

Among the first things that strike the
traveller in Japan are the wooden san
dals worn by these $4,000, 900 of peo-
pie. They have separate compart-
ment for the great toe, and make a clack-
ing noise on the street. Straw slippers
are also worn, and traveller setting out
on a journey will strap supplyof them
on his back that he may put on a new
pair when the old ones are worn out.
They cost but three farthings pair,
and leaving the foot free to the air, we
never see those deformities of the foot
IN Japan which are so frequent in this
country. They are never worn in the
house, being left outside the door. Pass
ing down a street, you see long rows of
them at the doors, old and new, large
and small. 1t is surprising to see how
readily the Japs step out of them, and
pick them up again with their feet,
without stopping, when leaving the
house. Constant habit makes them dex-
ferrous.
