REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The state republican convention
day. It was largely attended by many
of the old regular workers throughout
Iowa, and as there was only one con-
test for state Office the convention
was more Of love feast than any
thing else. The convention was har-
monious throughout. The platform
was broad gauge, we'll written and
received the hearty endorsement of
Hon: A. B. Cummins. 1t adopted the
resolution prepared by Geo. H. Wood
son of the Sixth district and John L.
Thompson of the Seventh district and
Jasper Prince of the Eighth district,
which ask congress to reduce the rep
resentation in congress in proportion
to the actual number Of voters. This
resolution reads as follows:
Resolved, BY the republicans in
convention assembled, That we are
earnestly opposed to all legislation de-
signed to accomplish the disfranchiser
ment of citizens upon lines of race,
color or station in life, and condemn
the measures adopted by the demo
cratic party in certain states of the
union to accomplish that end.
That we recommend to the Fifty
ninth congress the reduction of the
representation in congress and men,
bers of the legislature shall be re-
duced in the proportion which the
numbers of such male citizens shall
bear to the whole number of qualified
electors according to the various state
constitutions.
The full report of the convention is
given elsewhere. This particular res
Olution, with much modification, is the
resolution that Mr. Woodson and Mr..
Thompson first caused to b adopted
by the republican convention assem-
bled two years ago. Also we seen to
it that it remain in our last conven-
tion. In the other conventions as
well as those delegates to this conven-
tion they were late in meeting or
even did not reach the resolution hall
in time to meet the committee. There
are always a number Of persons desir-
ing to be heard by this committee;
therefore it is quite difficult to secure
an audience with them.

The list of colored delegates and al.
ternates to the state republican con-

honest and highly esteemed citizens
from their various communities.
The list Of colored doorkeepers was
H. H. Lewis, JEFF Logan, and at first
the committee on ushers had failed
to select any colored men, but the
protest Of the colored citizens COM
PEELED them at a late hour to select s.

An Emperor,a WnIns.

Emperor Frederick William Of Prus.
sia sometimes would signify his re.
lection Of what he considered an
absurd petition by drawing on the
margin an ass head and ears. One
day, baron of ancient patent having
complained Of another baron taking
precedence Of him, the king wror- on
the petition: Mere folly; whether
man sits above me or below me, my
birth remains the same" Oftentimes
he would ask people in the streets
who they were, popularity which
made nervous people evade the royal
presence. One day when man saw
the king approaching he took to his
heels and ran. but Frederick William
pursued him in hot haste and when
he overlook him asked why did You
run away from me" From fear,
answered the man, whereupon his
majesty gave him q thwack with his
cane and said that he wished him-
self to be loved and not to be feared.
