The republican national platform is
Reputation of the central principle
upon which this government was found
ed. If it was true in 1776, that "gov-
ernments derive their just powers from
the consent of the governed" it is true
today, and will be true for all time to
come. If the Declaration of Indepen;
dence is not o glittering falsehood, then
the massacre of the Filipinos and
the grasping for world power by the
agency of the sword is monstrous

Mehitable at Davenport.

DEAR READERS OF THE DEMoCRAT:-
We quite agree with the party in the
Grand Army Advocate, who said: "Get
ready to go to Davenport, for you
won't have any hotel rackets up there.
They know how to treat you right"
We have been there ourselves, and we
now fully believe it, for during the
Seventh Annual Convention, the 18th
and 18th of June, Davenport did its
whole duty, and did it cheerfully. We
participated in that event and noted
with interest many pleasant occasions,
and found the Davenport people social,
kind hearted and polite. The streets
and places of business were beauti-
fully decorated with flags floating in
the breeze everywhere, and, who but
Americans, feel their hearts swell at
the sight of starred and striped cloth
waving in the wind. OF course it was
late when we arrived in that grand old
city Tuesday evening, and there were
crowds of people present, the hotels
and boarding houses were full, and we
were getting nervous among strangers,
as we were waiting around Armory
Hall, where the].headquarters of the
w. r. G. were, we having gone there to
witness the exemplification of the rit-
uallstic work.
But a sweet-faced little woman, who
composed one of the committee on en-
tertainment, must have noticed our
anxiety, for she stepped up and ques-
toned US and found we were without
accommodations, and very soon quieted
our fears by inviting us to a share in
her Inequalities. SO we got aboard an
electric motor and after pleasant ride
arrived at her beautiful home up or
near 18th avenue, where we were very
kindly entertained during our stay in
the city. And as 1 noted a.number of
interesting things, would like to speak
of them through the columns of the
Democrat.
Please understand, we were expected
to attend every session ri the conven-
ton, but how we werSgoing to crowd
every thing into those two short days
. was beyond MY comprehension. How.
ever, on Friday afternoon Mrs. Carter
and myself were summoned to the
door, wondering for what purpose we
were called. When, 10 and behold! a
carriage awaited us, containing Mrs
Calf, Jour worthy hostess) and Mr.. and
Mrs. Shaw, of Nashua, Iowa, gueste
also at the Gaff home, who were attend
ing the encampment. Mr.. Shaw served
through the war of the rebellion, car.
rying disabled arm, and he exhibited
to us the grape shot that tore through
his lung and was cut out on the other
side. They were very pleasant and
patriotic people. Mrs. Calf kindly
hurried us, telling us we had very little
time to see everything, which.we found
was quite true. Our first stop was
made at the old arsenal, and many were
the interesting relics we found in con.
nection with it.
The scenery was grand among the
shops on the island and we alighted and
went through one Of them where they
were manufacturing all kinds of army
supplies, and it is said that 100 men
are employed In these shops.
Objects Of interest here were old
