DIES MONIES. July 25.-The largest and
most enthusiastic Republican State con-
vention held in Iowa met to-day at the
Calvary Tabernacle. John n. Bald win,
temporary chairman. in a speech said Fed
eral muskets had driven the Democratic
doctrines of States rights and treason into
their loathsome homes.
The prayer by the Rev. j. l.. Weaver
was sensational. He prayed that the
country's enemy, the Democratic party,
would be as merciful as possible. and ap-
pealed to the OmnipOtent to assist in
expecting the infamous Democratic
party" from power, lay the hand of divine
displeasure on them and restrain them for
ever from the exercise of governmental
authority.

Z. Deemer Of Red Oak; State Treasurer,

At o'clock the convention adjourned
to meet at P. N. to complete the ticket.
It was nearly O'Clock before the dele
gates reasssmbled, and the heat was so
intense that all suffered greatly. The
committee on resolutions reported and the
platform was unanimously adopted.
The Republican party comes again before the
people OF Iowa with every promise performed
and every prophecy fulfilled. The history of the
past year has again demonstrated the unfitness
and incOmpetency Of the Democratic party TO
administer the affairs of the nation, and has
again indicated the eternal truth of Repub
lcan principles. From the universal disaster
that has accompanied Democratic supremacy
we turn with confident hope to the sacred duly
OF restoring peace to a distracted and dis
ordered country. We again declare for a sys-
TEN of protective duties so adjusted that every
American resource can be dev eoped by Ameri-
can labor receiving American wages, and we
insist upon a tariff that will accomplish these
ends. We have but to mention the disastrous
results which have followed The mere menace
of free trade as conclusive evidence of The
wisdom of the Republican policy in the past
upon this subject. We adhere 10 the declara-
non of the national Republican party in 1891
upon its monetary policy.
We affirm our belief that the interests of the
country, its farmers and wOrkingmen demand
that every dollar, paper or coin, issued by the
Government shall be as good as any other dol
lar. We favor the largest possible use of silver
as money that is consistent with the permanent
maintenance OF equal values of all dollars In
circulation. We don't want monome tallism
either of gold or silver, and we pledge ourselves
to continue TO work for bimeIalism to be
brought about by all the means within the
power Of the Government The welfare of the
laborer aud the maintenance Of the dignity OF
labor have been the constant care of The Repub-
lican party since Its birth. Its whole history Is
an effort to secure for the wageWOrker his just
share of the fruits of his toll, and il now
renews its pledge TO defend the wOrkingman
not only against the assaults of foreign compe-
titlon but against The attacks Of domestic ava
rice.
Resolved. That the honest and industrious
immigrant who comes to our land with the in
tent to become good, faithful and American
citizen is always welcome. None other should
be permitted to come We favor the amend
ment and more stringent enforcement of the
immigration laws so as TO exclude criminal,
pauper and all other undesirable classes. whose
presence tends to degrade American labor and
incite disorder.
The Republican party, ever mindful Of the
patriotic service and sacrifices of the veteran
soldiers of the republic reafIirms its position
in favor of liberaiity TO the nations defenders.
We favor the granting OF pensions TO all
honorably discharged Union soldiers and sail
ors whose disabilities or necessities justly en-
title them the reto.
The filling of the ticket was proceeded
with as follows: Railroad Commissioned,
c. L. Davidson of Sioux City; Clerk Of the
Supreme Court. Chris Jones Of Washing
ton County; Reporter of the Supreme
Court, B. l. Sallinger of Pott County.
