To THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
BLUE EARTH COUNTY:


BLUE EARTH COUNTY:
Your committee, appointed at last
meeting of the board to examine into
the condition of Barnes bridge, east
of Mapleton village, would report that
they found the approach at east end
in q somewhat unsafe condition, quite
portion of the piling having been
raised by the frost throwing the long
approach out of shape. Your COM
mittee is of the opinion that this ap-
proach in the near future should be
all rebuilt on different plan, and in
the meantime the town authorities
should make some temporary repairs
| with view to continue the use of the
bridge during the year.
We also examined the Cramer
bridge, and we would recommend
that the stone work on the small
bridges near the main one be put in
good state of repair without unneces-
sary delay, by rebuilding the piers,
which are nearly fallen down.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The following is the platform adopted
by the republican party Of Oregon in
tsss convention assembled, at Astoria,
THURSDAY April IA, 1898;
't'I' the republican voters OF the
state OF oregon, in convention assem-
bled, congratulate the people of the
state as well as of the whole nation on
| the unmistakable fact that the dark
cloud of iversity, which has hung like
| pail over our fair land, has been dis
| sipated. We recognize that the return
of prosperity is due to the restoration
of the republican party to power
1--WE are in favor of the ma aintenance
OF the present gold Standard; we are
unqualihedly opposed to the lree coin
age of silver and to all other schemes
booking to the debasement of the cur
rency and the repudiation of debt We
believe that the best money in the
! world is none too good to be assured
by the government to the laborer as
the fruit of his toll and to the farmer
as the price of his crop. We condemn
the continued agitation of free silver
as calculated to jeopardise the prosper
| ity of the country and to shake the
confidence of the people in the main
| tenance of q wise financial policy; we
particularly condemn as unpatriotic,
the e.lorts of the free silver agitators
to al. ay class against class and sec
ton against section; we declare that
the interests of all classes and of all
sections of our country alike demand
a sound and stable financial system.
while we deplore the imminence OF
war, we recognize that the country is
on the eve of a war. undertaken for
the vindication of the national honor
and the performance OF work dictated
by every instinct of humanity; we de-
clare that the administration is en-
titled in this conflict to the confidence
and support of the entire people.
I'VE are firmly attached to the prln-
ciples of the federal constitution; we
recognize that representative govern
ment is one of these principles, and we
are opposed to any change in law or
constitution which will abrogate this
| time-honored principle.
I'VE are ih favor of retrenchment
and Ieform in state and county mat
ters.
1--WE demand strict economy in pub
| lie aiishs, and the abolition Of all
needless offices and commissions.
"The salmon fishing industry, so
state, should be fostered and to that
end we favor state aid in the artificial
propagation of salmon. and their dis
tribution in the waters of the state.
I'VE reaffirm our allegiance to the
principles of the republican party OF
the United States, as enunciated by
the republican convention in st. Louis
in 1896.
I'VE denounce the fusion party OF
Oregon as an aggregation of spoils-
men, who are ready to subordinate
| principles to offices. Each of the par
ties to this compact is willing to stul-
tlfy itself and form alliances with sls-
ments which it has heretofore de-
nounced as dangerous and unfit to be
intrusted with power; we declare that
good government cannot come from
such an alliance"
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1896-1899, 1898-05-30

level of prices of labor and production.
We favor such legislation as will pre-
vent for the future the decentralization
Of any kind OF legal tender money by
piivaie contract.
We demand that the government, In
payment of its obligations, shall use
its option as to the kind OF lawful
money in which they are to be paid
and we denounce the present and pre-
ceeding administrations for surrender
ing this option to the holders o. gov
eminent obligations
We demand that there all be nc
further issue of ,ited States interest
bearing bonds.
We demand that postal saN ngs banks
he established by the government for
The safe deposit of the savings of the
people and to facilitate exchange.
We demand the election of United
states senators by direct vote of the
paopl
We demand the Initiative and refer
endum system of |, W nakir in its
optional form, local, state and national
and the submission by congress of all
important national questions for an ad-
visory vote of the people, until such
time as the national constitution shall
have been amended so as to provide for
direct legislation.
We condemn as dangerous and un-
just the surrender in all departments
of the government, to the influence of
trusts, corporations and aggregations
of wealth generally; and the packing OF
the highest courts of the land with cor
poration lawyers, too ready to do the
will Of their late employers, and to set
aside valid and wholesome laws passed
by the legislative departments of the
states and government, upon fiimsy
pretexts, at the behests of such insti-
tutions.
We are opposed to government by
injunction.
In state matters, we demand:
A simple and well-guarded registra.
tion law.
more equitable mode of appointing
judges of election.
Stringent laws to regulate the opera
ton of fish traps, fish wheels and all
fishing gear in the waters within the
Jurisdiction of the state.
We denounce and condemn the cor
rupt and extravagant republican legls
lative assemblies, and charge that tn,
republican party, in its eagerness 70!
the spoils of office, has become divided
into warning factions, so that 1t is In
capable of government as eXeinplifieC
by the condition existing in the Office
of the state treasurer, there being al
this time more than S50O,000 thereli
wrung from the people by the process
IF tsxatlon, while state warrants are
stamped mot paid for want of funds.
We demand that all district and
county officers be placed upon salaries
commensurate with the duties to be
performed by them.
Inasmuch as railroad and other cor
porate property is not bearing its pro-
portion of taxation. we demand that
such property shall bear its just and
equal share Of the expenses of govern
ment.
