Shaw, the platform continues:
eve commend the Iowa delegation
in congress in its support of protection
and the Dingley tariff, of the mainten-
ance of the gold standard, and its faith
full support of the administration OF
President Mckinley in his policy in
peace and war.
eve rejoice at the prospective cleo
ton of David B. Henderson to be
speaker of the house of representatives.
eve readopt the following declara-
ton from the republican platform or
1898: The monetary standard of this
country and the commercial world is
gold. The maintenance of this stand
ard must be assured by congressional
legislation, giving it the validity and
vitality of public law. All other money
must be kept at parity with gold
We urgently call upon our senators and
representatives in congress to lend their
best endeavors to enact these PROPOSE
tons into law.
eve denounce the Chicago platform
and it's declaration for free trade and
free silver. The enormities of that
platform call for the resistance OF all
good citizens. AS republicans we com
mend the loyalty and exalted patriot
ism of the sound money democrats and
men of all parties who put aside parti-
sanship in order to maintain the good
faith of the nation by resisting the
Chicago platform and it's candidate,

'Industry and commerce should be
left free to pursue their methods when
observing the national laws OF the

known as trusts prove hurtful to the
people, they must he restricted by ma

purpose of the president. We admire
the skill and courage of our officers and
glory in the valor, constance and
hereditary heroism of our soldiers of

Arrested in U. S. Legation.
Porto Au Prince, August 3.-The po-
litical situation here is causing anXi-
ETY.. Numerous arrests have been
made, among those having been taken
into captivity being M. Doubillon,
former minister of the interior, and
Duviver, a newspaper man. DuVlVer
made a strong resistance and succeeded
in entering the United States legation.
Officers arrested him and he was got
ten away. United States Minister
Powell entered a protest, demanding
the release of the prisoner. Eventu-
ally the Haytien government save way
to the protest of Powell, releasing Du-
viver who re-entered the United States

No Disorder Exists.
Washington, August 3.-Commander
Logan, of the gunboat Machias, which
has Just arrived at San Domingo,
cables: "The United States consul
says the death Of the president in San

significance. The motive of the as
sassin, it is supposed, was personal re
venge. The vice president succeeded
without political disturbance and re-
arpointed the former cabinet. No dis
order exists"
The state department fully approves
of the action taken by United States
Minister Powell at Port all Prince in
enforcing respect for the United States
legation. The point now involved is
the breach of propriety shown in MAX
ing arrests within the legation
premises.
