FOE GOVERNOR, WILLIAM LARRABEE, of Fayette County. FOR LIEUT. GOVERNOR, J. A. T. HULL, of Polk County. FOR SUPREME JUDGE, JOSEPH M. BECK, of Lee County. FOR SUPT. OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION, JOHN W. AKERS, of Linn County. REPUBLICAN PLATFORM The committee on resolution* reported the following: HI PLATFORM. 1. The Issue* growing eut of the war for the Union css never be settled until they are settled right. By usurping and absorbing tbe rights of the disfranchised colored men, tbe white men of the southern states are exerting double the power ef tbe white men in the nor thern statea Tbe rebel soldier in tbe south is thus enabled to wield twice the Influence In the nation that the Union soldier in the north nan wield. We protest sgalust the U nion soldier having one vote and the rebel soldier having two. 2. The menace of this crime against the ballot In the south Is also a menace to iree labor in the north. With the black mau robbed of the elective franchise, their power to protect themselves Is gone and the south ern white man can degrade them at will, Into a form of cheap labor. Labor in tbe south cannot be pauperized without the wages of la bor In the north being necessarily affected. It is already driving the southern blacks to the north to And both liberty and employ ment. and lowa has received thousands of such men, who here have sought and found a chance to live as iree men, and to work at good wage a The republican party declares In the interest of honest and safe govern ment, that there can not be a political Ine quality maintained among the citizens of s free republic and that there can not be a minority of while men in the south ruling a majority of white men in the south. 8. The adhesion of the democratic party to the doctrine of state rights, is evidenced by tbe character of tbe diplomatic appointments made by (‘resident Cleveland; and we cen sure his selection of persons to represent ibis government at the foreign eountrles who deny ttie Indissoluble unity of this nation, ana who. during toe rebellion, either fought for its success or justified the principle on which it was based, and still continue so to do, and we declare that his conduct in this regard is made ail the more offensive by his persistent removal of disabled union soldiers from gov ernment employment by mean, of the frand ulent and disreputable device of the “offen sive partisan” scheme formulated by bis post master general and practiced by tbe other heads ef departments and by the president himself. 4. Time Joe* not bar the claim* of the *ol‘ dlere who fought down the rebellion, or the gratitude and iustic of the country, and there fore we aemand euch modification et the penalon law* a* shall secure e .ual treatment to all such soldiers entitled to pensions under said laws, by commencing payment from time of disability: the increase of widows’ pensions from eight to twelve dol lars tier month; and the granting of a pension to all such soldier* as are disabled from secur ing support by their own labor; and to those who served in the war with Mexico. We con derat the removal by President Cleveland of the medical pension' enamiuers appointed by Line In. Orant and Garfield, who have been the steady friends of the union soldiers, and their replacement by men who generally opposed the passage of the pension laws. 5 The American laborer la the unitv, the prosperity and stability of the republic The cld world theory of classes is sdborrent to the American mind, no peasant class can ever be credited in America. The republican party has protected and fostered the labor of this country. 80 that its compensation Is larger than is realised In any other nation It nas guarded and saved it from the degraded com petition of contract lat>or from China la pleJged te protect it from the pauper la lor of Europe We demand that ample provisions shall oe made bv law for the protection of labor and capital, including the question of screening coal and others peculiar to the min ing Interests of the state in order that the miners may be assured pay for all work done •y them. And labor should have its just proportion of representation on such board c 1 we further declare that provision should bwmade by law whereby convict labor should not be brought Into competition with the other labor within the state. 6 We are opposed to the British policy, advocated by the democratic party in this country, under the guise of a tariff for reven ue only. The English theory of free trade, which has degraded its labor at home, ana been sc successfully used, as s means to de stroy the industries and oppress the people of Ireland, cannot be Imposed forXngllsh inter ests upon the peonle of the t ufted States We invite all the people of Irish blood who know the wrongs of tneir native country, its fate under English rule, to join with the re publican party and the great body of Ameri can workingmen in resisting the introduction of the free trade policy in America. 7. We favor closer commercial intercourse with all nations end the enlargement and ex tension of American commerce in all possible quartern We especially urge the establish ment of better commercial relations and the enlargement of our trade with South Ameri ca We favor the increase of American shipping by all practical means 8. The republican party Inaugurated civil service reform, and enacted the civil service lsw. It will faithfully maintain it and cheer fully aid in anv needed amendments to give it full fores. We look with regret upon the failure of the present administration to pro mote the reform of the civil service so sut pice >usly begun under s republican adminis tration. 9. We demand that the public domain In cluding forfeited ana unearned landa within the limits of grants made to railroad or other cor orations, shall be disposed of only to ac tual settlers In limited Quantities, pro Tided by the law and the bona flae settlers on the un earned lands within the limits of the Sioux Ci*.v and St. Paul Railroad com daily should have their rights amply and apeeally* provided for bv the prompt enactment of congress to •fieri that result. We are opposed to the ac quisition of public laud or any part thereof by non -resident aliens. 10. We oppose any change In the laws of cnrrrncy ana finance that will increase the burdens of the debtor class. We favor a re vision of the patent laws for the better de fense of the people against the frauds now pra tlced thereunder. We favor such practi cal improvements of the national waterways as shall secure the element of competition in the transportation of the country. We favor the rigid enforcement of all laws for the sup presaion of polvgamy. 1!. The republican party of lowa, while a steady upholder of the right and duty of the state to regulate the traffic In liquor by such metuods aa will suppress most of its evils, has never mad* the support of prohibition a test of party fealty. It pledged its honor to « na* t, and afterwards did enact a law which th> . -eople of lowa at a nonpartisan election falriv held had ordered by an unquestioned tns. irity that came alike from the voters of republicans and democrats. We declare now for a lair and thorough trial of that law that K may have time to demonstrate the efficiency or prove its inefficiency before it is required to give way to some other honest and earnest method in the line of finding the true and successful system of dealing with the liquor traffic. We arraign and condemn the demo cratic party of lowa for its action in declaring for a fi'Jf-J license compulsory on every community regardless of local opinion for legalizing again in lowa tbs sale of whisky and all other alcoholic liquors and for removing all restrictions from the saloons, giving a freedom in the liquor traffic that has not existed In lowa for thirty vears. IS. Ws hold steadily to the doctrine of the control and regulation of railroads hz the peo ple, aa first established by a repnblffiin law in lowa wntcb was finally approved by tbe su preme court of the United bla Lee. This prta cl pic gives to the gene al assembly the power to regulate state commerce, and to oongres* the regulation of inter-state commerce. Un der republican rule and republican methods tbe cost of transporting produce has been de er* »»«*i from three cents per ton per mils in I*7o to eight mills per ton per mils in 1886. We are opposed to all unjust and arbitrary discriminations, poolings and combinations which prevent legitimate competition or work injustice to communities or individuals of the slate Tbe full measure of prosperity for tbs agricuitusal manufacturing. commercial and mining interests of our state de pends upon the Just and impartial aervic- of the great rail wav systems ope rating within its borders, and holding their corporate privileges under Its statutes and any j<uiicy of railway management designed to e . barrass a single industry of our com monwealth for tbs direct benefit of corrwe ponding interests elsewhere, Is a fit subject fur legislative inquiry and correction.

OSKALOOSA TOWNBHIP. SCOTT, JEFFERSON. MONROE TOWNSHIP. REPRESENTATIVE “I hop* tkst mo soldier who goon into tbe abolition war will ever return to lowm nliwa.”— ICopperhead 1 Copperhead whiting, Dem<> erotic Candidate for Governor, during the war. —The Albia Democrat is very in offensive in its partisanship just now. It is laying low for a duck of a post office. —We cannot help it, but Sherman, of the Newton Democrat, cannot and will not get that postoffice. He is not able to knock down that persimmon. It is beautiful only for Flowers. —Charges have been filed against some Alaskan officials on the score of drunkenness. If that commits, 3ome of the lowa Democratic officials can be taken in. Specifications can easily be obtained. —One of the things that President Smith should have on exhibition at the State Fair should be a specimen of the “offensive partisan.” How would Ag new do, removed at Osceola to make way for a tramp? —The Kellogg Enterprise, Green back, tremblingly squeaks out of the high grass: “The Greenback party is as much in control of bosses as either of the old parties. The bosses should be relegated to the rear, or the party will die.” And die it will! —Among the Democrats the matter most in demand is Mr. Gillette’s letter accepting the Democratic platform in its entirety, or a declination. Mr. Gil lette will have to “take suthin,’ ” with or without sugar, as he pleases, but he will have to tip the schooner—and that right quick. —The re-nomination of Senator Hutchinson by the Wapello Repub licans presages victory. He is backed by Hon. F. M. Epperson aud Mr. La Force for the House. Tbe Republicans of that county know how to make a hard fight and will do it. They will win, and win handsomely. —The Chicago News, independent for money at all times, says: “In his speech at Mount Gilead, Ohio, Senator Sherman was justified in saying that no act in President Cleveland’s admin istration had done more to lower it in the opinion of conservative men than the pardon of Lieut. Mullen, of the Cincinnati police.” —You do not hear any Democratic paper suggesting the name of any Democratic soldier for appointment to such a place as the Pension Agency. Why don’t some editor forget copper head Whiting long enough to suggest that brave soldier, Col. Mackey, for the place? We can endorse his bravery, for we saw it tested grandly and to his lasting honor. —The Poweshiek Republicans have nominated a splendid ticket, and will elect it from top to bottom. It is headed by W. H. Redman for the House, one of the hard lighting, hard hitting boys, who will run like a pr.iirie Are. The other nominees: Treasurer, VV. J. Johnson; Auditor, Joseph Satchell; Sher.ff, A. M. Hogan; Superintendent, S. W. Heath; Survey or, Arthur L. Kemper; Coroner, H. Whitcomb. —Dr. Beardsley, the new Chairman of the Republican State Central Com mittee, was formerly editor of The Herald— and is the second editor of this paper so honored—the late Henry 0. Leighton, having served in that re sponsible capacity. Dr. Beardsley will make a splendid chairman, and one who will cause a brilliant campaign. George Roberts hs secretary will be found a most efficient man there as he has been so found in all other places. —ln 1884 the straight Republican vote in lowa was 197,069, and t he fusion vote, taking in Democrats and Green backers or Democrats and Butler men, was 177,316. This gave the Republi cans a plurality of 18,311, in a total vote of 375,877. Still, some very fool ish fellows think that under the cry of free whisky they can carry lowa in this year of grace. They cannot do it, and they know it. What a cursing of fu sion there will be by Democrats in No vember, when the certainty of defeat will be a fact backed by Republican majorities ! —With the tail of the ticket, Moore, rampant to kick tbe Bible out of the public schools, and to prevent the chil dren from singing “In the Sweet Bye and-Bye,” and the copperhead at the head in favor of taxing all churches and institutions of that character, what a bouquet of loveliness is pre sented to the decent voters of lowa by the Democracy and their handful of greenbackeis. The “Sweet Bye-and- Bye” will have nothing sweet for that outfit after November shall have come with its 200,000 protecting ballots. —Sam Evans, in his measly Ottumwa Democrat asks: “Will some kind friend send us the name of the regiment and company in which Mr. Larrabee served during the rebellion ?” Well, Sammi vel, Mr. Larrabee tued to go, and was rejected because of an accident to an eye in his boyhood. He did his duty as a patriot during all the days of the war, admitted by all. Now, tell us what copperhead Whiting was doing during the war, and while you are about it give us the soldier pedigree of Gillette, Moore, and Brannan. Away down in your heart. Sam, you have no admiration for the copperhead, and you would make au affidavit to that fact, confidentially, now wouldn’t you? You may decline to answer! —Superintendent Akers has recently rendered a decision regarding the hours school elections must be held in this State. When an election was called in a sub-district to vote a sum of money to build a school house, the polls were opened at 2:30 and closed at 3:00, and it was claimed the election was void on ground the polls were not open three hours. The State Superintendent to whom the appeal was made, decides that there is no law requiring the polls in sub-districts to be kept open three hours. The statute ouly requires that they shall not be opened before 9 a. m., or closed before 12 m. They may be opened at 11 and closed at 12 m., or opened at 12 m. and closed at 9. The intent of the law is to prevent the hold ing of an election at a very early hour in the morning by a few persons, transacting business and adjourning— in other words to prevent jobs and schemes. For independent districts the polls must be open three hours. —The Marshall Statesman don’t feel over happy about the Weaver capture of the Democratic convention. It says: “The resolution that Mr. Duncombe introduced in the State Convention directing the State Committee to noti fy the nominees of their selection, coupled with the statement that if Messers. Gillette and Moore accepted the nomination they were in honor bound to stand by the platform, leaves tbe matter of fusion in the proper light. If these gentlemen can in ho n or stand on the Democratic platform for the repeal of the prohibitory law and the enactment of a license law, they will except the nomination. If they cannot accept the condition im posed by the platform upon tbe other nominees of the party they have only to say so, and their places will be prompt ly filled by the State Committee.” This is tbe only honorable way out. But honorable ways and fusion politics are divergent, and candidates of that breed do not crowd that high-way at any time. —The Drs Moines Ameiger says : “No greater insult was ever given the Germans of lowa than the Republican managers of the State University per petrated in the removal, without just cause, of the most gifted, most learned and most devoted of its faculty, Pro fessor Hinrichs, simply because he was a German.” Why not quit demagog ing and tell the truth about Prof. Hin richs—the truth as every Democratic member of the Board of Regents knows it? And it is that the Professor had become so inflated with his own great ness that he concluded that he was the whole faculty; that he treated the President in the most shameful way, and when remonstrated with dared the Regents to bring him to task. Men may be able, smart and all that, but tljey never grow so big but that they owe, at least, common courtesy to those with whom they are associated. No man is necessary to any institution, and a most capable successor has been found in Prof. Andrews. It is an in sult to the Germans to claim that they always stand up for the protection of every bull-headed member of that na tionality, when he is brought to proper judgment for his own lack of courtesy and judgment. Nationality had noth ing whatever to do with the case, and no one knew it better than the editor of the Ameiger. The only blame that can be put on the Regents is that they failed to act as promptly as they should. —As to the Brown-v Sherman difficul ty, an effort was made at the State Convention to settle it, with the hearty consent of Gov. Sherman. As we have taken an interest in one side of the difficulty, we quote the following from the Burlington Post, which has not beeu an advocate of either side: “Dur ing Wednesday forenoon an effort was made by friends of either party to bring alKMit a Qnal adjustment of all differences, personal and official, be tween the two men by referring the matters in dispute to a committee of leading Republicans with Senator Wil son as chairman. Brown refused to accept this entirely reasonable prop osition, and when pressed to the point, did not appear to desire a settlement of the unfortunate affair. He pro posed, however, to submit the ques tions to Senator Larrabee, and allow him to decide them. This was such an extraordinary and unheard of prop osition for Brown to make under the circumstances, with Larrabee just en tering upon a spirited campaign for election to the highest office in the State that even the deposed auditor’s staunchest friends were greatly dis gusted with his obstinacy and unrea sonable bearing. The futility of at tempting to deal honorably with Brown was then at once recognised and he was dropped by all the leading men of the convention and suffered to go his way without further attention from anyone.” —For the benefit of the Times, and to aid it in its newly born love for the colored man. we recall a few Demo cratic favors extended to the colored men in several sections of the country. It knows about the Mullen case : Last fall Lt. Mullen, of the Cincinnati po lice, imprisoned 113 men—voters—all day in a cellar, for the purpose of keep ing them from voting the Republican ticket. After the polls were closed they were all released. Mullen was arrested afterward, indicted, convicted and sent to the penitentiary for one year. President Cleveland has just pardoned the scoundrel out. It was no crime, in Demoratic eyes, to rob these colored men of their right to vote, and not a single Democratic paper has condemned this act of the President. In fact, the Times has not mentioned the matter at all. Democratic papers know when to keep up a clam-like stillness. As a fur ther sample of Democratic love for the colored man we quote a Nashville dis patch to the New York Times, which states that in Humphreys county, Ten nessee, a negro who recently attempted to escape from a crowd who intended to administer a beating to him was shot, and the next morning his body was found near his cabin ; that another ne gro, Samuel Low. was dragged from his bed by seven disguised men, who took him to the woods and gave him more than 100 blows with iron wood switches, lacerating his back horribly ; that a third negro, West Regan, was given twenty-three lashes by the same crowd, and warned to leave the county; and that John Gorin, a colored school teacher has received a note warning him to leave the countv or take the consequences. We insist that the Times shall give the boys a chance to see how well the Democrats carry out their pre tence. Will the Judge kindly call the attention of his organ to these little things. —ln Davis county the Democrats and Greenbackers used to be very lov ing in their fusion embraces. Last year the Democratic brother kicked the Greenback sister out of bed, and went it alone—carrying Davis county by 300 majority on the county ticket. The Democrats stood up for a straight county ticket, and won. This year’s program is the same, and Harry Evans says in his Democrat this sort of gos pel- “There has been considerable talk pro and con in reference to fusion on the county ticket. We can only speak for tbe Democracy on this subject: We’ll have it straight, thank you. The old Jackson standard of worth should be remembered in the making of the ticket, which is: Democracy, Honesty, Capability.” Another phase of fusion is shown in this admission: “Repub licans and a few disgruntled Green backers are.endeavoring to enter into au unholy alliance with intent to fuse. Such a course is denounced by Weaver, Trebilcock, Bader, Stokesberry and others prominent in the Greenback ranks.” in other words, so long as fusion was a helper to Democracy, Weaver was a fuser. Having gained that point, the scheme in Davis to send the whole Greenback party over to the Democracy, with Jim at the front swearing that he is as good a Demo crat as any of them—not even except ing the mossiest fellow out iu the wilds of Soap Creek. Evidently clear to all men not altogether given up to the asinine is the duplicity of Weaver, and the desire of people to be hum bugged. But the Davis eounty Dem ocrats act with good sense and judg ment, aud will win. The Democratic Green backer has gone home, and he will stay there. They will monkey no more with the ism that is now only used by a few honest men as a sincere belief, but by Weaver and his gang for demagoguery and personal gain. —Keokuk date City: “The Demo crats have been saying that the Repub lican party was just as big as prohibi tion, and the latter just as big as the former, and that nobody else belonged to it or had any right place in it. Will these Democrats please observe that Lee, Pottawattamie, Scott, Das Moines, llutler, Calhoun, Cass, Clay, Clinton, Crawford, Dubuque, Jones, Mitchell, and Winneshiek counties had a major ity of anti-prohibitionists in their dele gations to the Republican State Con vention. That many other counties had half or less. That in the discussion upon adopting tbe substitute resolu tion on this subject, tbe Convention heard both sides with equal courtesy. And that bard as it is to get any con vention to refuse to sustain a report of its platform committee the substitute got 250 votes. Let the discussion go on and go on inside of the Republican party. That Is the American way. And what is happening shows that prohibition and license are non-parti san. And that tbe Republican party in low aas elsewhere is broader than either s f do of this question. It is broad enough i*» include both prohibitionists and anti prohibitionists, both license and anti-1 iesnse men.” fc SENATOR LARRABEE’S AC CEPTANCE. HU Views and Position aa Stated at the Republican State Convention -A Plain Frank Speech. Mr. President and gentlemen of the Convention: You have conferred a high honor upon me and 1 thank you most sincerely for it. 1 accept the nomination which you have so gener ously tendered me, with much diffi dence and with a deep sense of the ob ligation under which you have placed me to you and to the people of this State. If elected I promise you my best efforts for faithful, efficient and unselfish performance of the duties of the office. I know the people whom you repre sent generally understand well the im portance of giving attention to political matters. They realize how much tbe prosperity and happiness of the people depends upon the wisdom with which its government is administered. They demand from their officers , A FAITHFUL PERFORMANCE of the duties in accordance with the highest standard of official service, and we refer with pride to the manner with which the Republican party has always responded to the wants and needs of this State and the service rendered thus far has been gratifying indeed to us. What have been the results? UNEXAMPLED PRQBPERTY. Our State management has been the pride of all, not only of Republicans and Democrats, but even of Greenback ers. Our State is out of debt. We have a low rate of taxation. Our revenue is judiciously collected and economically expended. Our State in stitutions are all in a thriving con dition aud meeting tbe wants of our thriving population. We all admit tbe wonderful accumulation of material wealth; the great intellectual develop ment that has gone on in this State, and the grand moral progress we are making at the present time. HAS THIS BEEN ACCIDENTAL? Has it come by chance? No. Chance never would have ministered to our wants with the consistency wirtf which our wants have been ministered to. It has been the result of intelligent l>eople enacting intelligent laws, pro tected under the laws and policies adopted by our national and State ad ministration of the Republican party. CAN A VALID REASON be given that there should be a change? Is not every Republican proud of the history of the Republican party? Would he blot out one single page from its history? On the other hand, is not every Democrat ashamed of the history of the Demo cratic party, and would he not wish that its history was entirely out of ex istence? Can the Democratic party give us anything but blank promises, and lias its sincerity been such as to give us assurance of carrying out its promises? Has our friend Hendricks disturbed the several millions of dollars he pr mised us several years ago? Will the Democratic party insure to the la borers of this State better wages ? W ill it enhance the value of the products of the farm and workshops? Will its re lations to us either tend to the develop ment of better mining or better agri cultural interests? Will the advocacy of the State right heresy tend to se cure to us the fruits of the war? Will it give us more wholesome laws or better administration of them? Will it better promote the cause of educa tion? Will it prove a better guardian for the temperance cause? Upon THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION generally there is but little difference of opinion among Republicans as to the results desired to be accomplished. It is about as rare to find a Republican iu our ranks to-day that is not sincere ly in favor of the temperance cause as it was to find a Republican in our ranks during the war who was sympa thizing with the rebellion at that time. [Loud applause.] We all acknowledge the great evil of intemperance and de sire to find the best remedy. We have had on our statute books a law pro hibiting the sale of strong liquors and permitting the sale of wine and beer and permitting license by municipali ties. That is local option to a certain extent. The Democratic party PERSISTENTLY ATTEMPTED to repeal that law. This provoked op position and a large part of our people petitioned for entire prohibition. This question grew from year to year until at a non-partisan election a large ma jority of the voters voted for prohibi tion, and had the women of the State voted for it as well as the men, I have no doubt but that the majority would have been three hundred thousand in stead of thirty thousand. [Continued applause.] It is a well established rule of political tactics of the highest author ity that the faithful representative should represent the non-voting popu lation as well as those who vote. [Ap plause] In accordance with this our legislature enacted our present law. The advocates of this law believe in its efficiency; they believe it will suc ceed; they request that it have a fair trial. That is all we have asked, as I understand it, and as 1 have heard the platform read, that is the extent of the platform adopted here to-day, and it is a reasonable request. Had the people of this State voted in favor of a SI, OOO license, or of the Democratic standard, a #250 license, I say it would oe but fair that we should GIVE TnEM A FAIR TRIAL. I was pleased with the discussion upon this resolution, which shows that the parly can discuss and abide by resolutions. I trust that will be the result. Some of my temperance friends who are inclined to be radical upon the subject, and I respect their zeal iu the matter, are thinking that the liepublican party goes too slowly for them. They are not willing to leave anything for the next generations to do, or anything for us next year to do. On the other hand are our friends who believe we are going too fast and there is danger of wrecking the train. I ask you to exercise your spirit of toleration and this question will be settled all right. Give the people a chance at it and you need not fear the result Give the people a chance to understand it thoroughly and they will decide it AND DECIDE IT RIGHT just as long as the Republican party is in the ascendency. [Continued ap plause.] All know the question that the Re publican party has had to deal with from its infancy. Its first victory was over the well-planned and organ ized force of the slave power which attempted to force slavery with all its attendant curses upon tbe fair fields of Kansas. From that time to this you can all refresh your minds upon the questions upon which the Republican party has stood and acted —statutory, constitutional and military. They have all been met with courage and dealt with in wisdom, as has been proven by the test of time. We know that the Democratic party has opposed nearly all these questions from begin ning to the end. HAS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ever been wrong upon one question? Can you name to me a single instance where the Republican party has been wrong? On the other hand can you name a single instance where the Democratic party ias been right? I put the question X) you, my Demo cratic friends, as I see a few of you here to-day. Has there been a ques tion for the last thirty years where the Democratic party has been right re gaiding this great nation? As I hear no response, i will propound the ques tion and extend it back fifty years and ask you to name a single question where the Democratic party has been right Gentleman, I ask you to .»n --sider this. It is rather a hard conun drum, because I have no response, and [ ask you to take the matter home with you. The Democratic party HAS BEEN WRONG ALL THE TIME. Any party is expected under the rules of chance, to be right at least half of the time. [Laughter.] Now, so long as civilization is progressive there is always contention between the old civilization and the new. Everv one familiar with history knows that this is tbe fact. The old civilization always struggles for its existence long after Rs usefulness is gone—the Democratic party under civilization of the South and the Republican party under the progress and civilization of the North. Civilization depends upon growth and progress. The vote of the South de pends upon the methods peculiar to themselves and which have been intro duced to a certain amount in the North and which we even find here in lowa. The Republican partv has not only the temperance question but it lias other questions to treat with of equal and even greater importance. It is important that this nation should be ?overned by those who have been Its riends for the last thirty yean. What do you find In the platform that was adopted In Cedar Rapids the other day? There were two planks: one was spoils and the other the repealing of our present prohibitory law. I am satisfied during the coming election we shall meet tne Democracy rallying with all the enthusiasm that is pos sible with spoils and free whisky to bring men tefthe polls. With the plat form that you have adopted here to-day, we are ready to meet them, and we ac cept the issue. Gentlemen, I thank yen most kindly lor your attention, and I desire to thank the honorable gentlemen whose names were mentioned with mine in the late canvass for their gentlemanly treatment. I have endeavored to be a little modest in this campaign, but 1 hope not to be accused or it between now and the 3rd of next November. [Cheers and applause.] OREGON AS IT IS. Reliable Information for All- Issued by the Oregon State Board of Immigration. Assuming that you are coming to Oregon, with a view of locating, we de sire to call your attention to a few of the more important features of the State. For further information, and such assistance as is afforded in maps, records of farms for sale, or rent, and personal attention, you are requested to apply to tbe Secretary of the Board, upon your arrival in Portland. Mr. C. A. Carlisle is Secretary. climate. Nature has struck a happy medium between the climate of California, with its alternations of wet and dry seasons, and that of the Eastern States, with their shifting and uncertain changes. We do not have, here in Oregon, the torrid heat of California, nor do our winters remind us much of eastern freezings and thawings. The trade winds of the Pacific moderate the heat and cold, and with the great Japanese ocean current, serve as a regulator of temperature. The thermometer rarely rises above eighty degrees in summer, in the hottest day, and scarcely ever sinks below twenty in winter. So the most active outdoor labor may be per formed throughout the year. Strictly speakiug, the distinction of the seasons does not exist in Western Oregon as in the Eastern States, nor is the applica tion of the terms dry and wet season entirely suitable. The rains, beginning the last of September, fall with in creasing frequency say from Novem ber 20th, and reach their maximum in January. Diminishing in February, which is usually mild, they continue through June, falling semi-occasionally and exerting no ill effect, excepting in case that the grain crop may suffer if far euough advanced. The rain-fall during a summer mouth is very light. Only twice in forty years have the grain crops been injured by untimely rains, for the season of harvesting is pre-eminently the dry time. According to the mortality statistics of the census of 1880, Oregon stands at tbe head of the list of States for health fulness, the percentage of deaths to population being .69, Missouri standing Another strong argument in favor of our climate is in its relation to agricul tural production. The superior quality of our wheat, famous the world over, clearly establishes and enforces the fact that we have the sunshine, long days, cool nights, less intense heat in maturing months, necessary for the perfect growth of the highest grade of wheat. Not only this cereal, but the best climate for oats, rye, barley, corn, hops, grasses, flax, vegetables, fruit of all kinds, and berries of every kind imaginable, as belonging to the tem perate regions. VALLEYS. The principal valley in the State is the Willamette, lt is 150 miles in length and has an average width of about fifty miles. Throughout its length numerous lateral valleys de bouch upon it. The valley contains au area of about 4,500,000 acres, one fifth of which is held by actual settle ment, or used as grazing lands. With the exception of Maine, the area of the Willamette Valley is greater than any one of the New England States, and nearly a dozen times as large as the smallest of these States. The Willa mette, a navigable river, rises in the Calapooia Mountains and flows the entire length of the valley. Its gener al course is north, and its* flow gathers up the waters of forty-two streams, several of which are navigable for steamboats of ordinary sizes. Umpqua is another of the famous valleys of Oregon. It is north of Rogue River country, and between the mountains of the Calapooia Spur and the Coast Range. The climate is geni al and very even throughout the year. The Umpqua Valley has au agricultu ral capacity equal to any we have here named, except the Willamette and Umatilla. Rogue River Valley lies midway be tween the Willamette and the Sacra mento Valley. It is especially noted for its fruit, ranking, in this respect, above most of the favored places in the country. The climate is splendid the whole year through, and the soil is prolific. Aside from the Willamette, no val leys attract more attention than that through which flown tbe Umatilla River. It embraces the famous wheat growing region of the northern portion of Eastern Oregon. Umatilla Valley is very extensive, and its agricultural capacity is simply enormous, its only drawback, it may be said, is want of rain in some localities, during early spring and summer, to properly mature the crop. Another of tbe fertile and pleasant ly located valleys in Oregon is Grand Ilonde, in Union County, Oregon. It contains upwards of 280,300 acres of the best farming lanes; the soil adapted of wheat, rye, oats, barley, and all kinds of vegetables. As a stock rais ing region it is unsurpassed. It is in the midst of a mountainous regiou, and is traversed by numerous streams of water. Adjoining Grand Ronde on the east, and really a part of it, is Wallowa Valley, a very rich and ex tensive country, with the same general characteristics as to soil, timber, stock, grain and the like. South of this great valley is the Pow der River country; a valley fertile, and especially adapted to stock raising. The railway to Baker City is bringing this land into prominence, and making it very valuable. Harney Valley is the largest body of agricultural land in Grant county. It is 240 miles southeast of The Dalles. There are numerous streams in this valley, and most of the land is very productive. The climate iajjimilar to that of Eastern Oregon generally. The chief interest is stock raising. There are upwards of 200,000 head of cattle on the ranges there at all seasons of the year. The timber on the margin of the valley is among the best. FRUIT. Oregon excels as a fruit country. No finer truit of the kinds raised here, is produced in any quarter of the globe. Fruit trees will grow from six to eight feet the first year; bear fruit the second, third and fourth years, according to variety. Apple trees commence bearing very young, sometimes producing flue fruit the second year after grafting; and, if properly cultivated, are always in bear ing when four or five years old. The fruit is large, highly colored, and of the most delicious flavor. Pears also grow in great perfection. Tbe trees begin to bear when remarkably young, and are exceedingly healthy and vigor ous, and being entirely free from disease, will live to a great age. The trees are very productive and the fruit highly flavored. Pears have been grown weighing over three pounds. >regon is the very Eden for cherries, plums and prunes. Any smart,active, capable man, with only a little money, but accustomed to work with his hands, is sure to succeed in making a comfortable home in Oregon. Wages are good; land foot! and no use materials are still relatively cheap. If such a settler has a strong heart himself, and is blessed with a common-sense wife used to country work, he may confidently look forward to becoming even rich. He need not long remain in the condition of a labor er. This certainty of rising in tbe social scale must stimulate the im migrant Farmers themselves, with limited capital, who are uneasy about their own future and that of their children, and are prepared to emigrate, should consider the advantages which Oregon affords, irrespective of climate, which must be attractive to all. They should have at least sufficient capital to be in dependent for twelve months. FARMING. The question is often asked; “How do you farm V” It is simply impossible to give any general rule. The farmer in Marion County carries on his occil lation in accordance with the charac ter of his soil and climate surroundings. The farmer in Douglas. Lane or Benton Counties adopts the mode best suited to his soil and climate. The drat thing is to dnd the real character of the soil or climate; the second, to farm in ac cordance with that character. Farmers who have followed mixed husbandry in the older Eastern States, are needed here to introduce diversi fied agriculture and demonstrate that “some things can be done as well as others.” Wheat is the great staple, but we need the experience of men who can establish a judicious diversity in production. The class of farmers we have here already carry on mixed farm ing to some extent, but they depend chiefly on wheat for the income of the farm, growing oats, barley, hay, fruit and vegetables for their own use* but not demonstrating, as a rule, that the farm can have something as a source of income every month in the year. Along the foot-hills there are some sections of Government land denomi nated “brush land,” and here and there in each quarter section a dozen or fif teen acres of open land. This is true of the locality between forest Grove and Astoria, on the Central grant (now forfeited); it is true of some portions of Columbia County, Clackamas Coun ty, Washington County, Linn Connty and Tillamook in Western Oregon. In the Southern portion of the State, in the Rogue River aud Umpqua Valleys, in the Counties of Jackson and Jose phine, are large, accessable stretches of this line of land. A part of this land lies along the small streams and in the valleys putting into the Willamette. The immigrant will find now and then an excellent location on Government tracts in tbe localities named here under this heading. If he must have Government land, the new-comer will have to take his share of the heavy timbered and such as is removed some what from the lines of transportation. These claims will be very valuable by and by, and for the present will, if properly looked after, provide a good home for the immigrant and his family. LAND OFFICES Government Land Offices are located at Oregon City, Clackamas County, Oregon; Roseburg, Douglas County, Oregon; Lakeview, Lake County, Ore gon; The Dalles, Wasco County, Oregon and La Grande, Union County, Oregon. The State Land Office for Oregon is at the seat of government, Salem, Ma rion County, Oregon. EDUCATIONAL. The people of Oregon are manifestly and justly proud of their educational institutions. No State in the Union makes a more generous provision for its public schools, or has a more com plete or effective system. CHURCH INTERESTS. The church interest is a dominant one in the State. There is scarcely a community or locality, no matter how isolated, but has its house of worship and a large and growing membership. PRICE OF LAND. A good deal of observation and in quiry inclines us to believe that the average price of improved land in Ore gon is about 815 to S2O per acre. Un improved land in the valleys is esti mated at from $8 to sl2 per acre, though large tracts are for sale at much lower figures—as low as $4 per acre. Improved land in the foothills is worth from $8 to $lO per acre, and this is among the best iu the State for a man of small means. School land is sold at $2 per acre; government at $2.50 and $1.25; and railroad lands from $3 to SB, as an average. The immigrant will find plenty of such lands iu all portions of the State, convenient to market and easy of access to transportation lines. OUR MAHASKA REPORTS. Gleanings by Herald Reporters.

Weather permitting, there will be a general turnout from this part of the kingdom. S. Norris, J. H. Shultz and R. Redman have each taken several head of horses and colts to exhibit. Threshing grain Is about a thing that was In this vicinity. A few of the farmers came very near losing their grain by careless stacking. It will probably teach them a lesson not to go and pile up or poorly stack their grain, ex peetiug to thresh In a few days, for at such an hour as you think not the rain cometh and woe unto that grain. John Walton spent several days last week in the southern part of the State on business. Miss Catlte accompanied him as far as Bussy, and visited a few days with her cousin, Mrs, Carrie Stein. Dr. Whitacre has treated himself to a new carriage, manufactured by Jones h Co., of Os kaloosa. S. Nelson went over to Talntor to-day to take in some stock. It looks as though be is enlarg ing his circle of business somewhat. He lias his Ross house all Uxed up in good shape, and it will now make quite a cosy residence.

Small grain here, where threshed, has made an ordinary yield: oats from 20 to 40 bushels per acre, wheat from io to 20, and rye about the same. The first was badly damaged by grass hoppers. The amount per acre was generally fixed so as to bring the amount produced to 40 bushels or more per acre. It undoubtedly would have been the largest crop ever produced bad It not been for the grasshoppers, they say. Campmeeting at Rose Hill still continues. Good order prevails, considering the vast crowds, but we doubt if grove meetings carried on by any denomination result in as much good as evil. LAND. About a score of our young folks gathered at the hospitable residence of Michael Augustine and his good wife, last Saturday eveuing, and spent the hours in chattlug ana in feasting on ice cream and cake. All expressed themselves well pleased with the party and the way In which they were received by Mr. aud Mrs. A. Upon departing for home, a number were much alarmed l>y the sudden disappearance of one of the party, supposed to be lost, strayed or stolen, but was found to have strayed in a misunder stood joke. Friday Night. September l. East Dm Moines. Alonzo Ellis, a young mau of this vicinity, who has beeu working In the mines since he was a small boy, met with the misfortune to get a leg broken last Saturday. He is under the care of Dr. Cross, of Given. The Edwards affair created considerable ex citement in this vicinity. After his experience we should think that he would endeavor to re main on the shores of time until his Maker's call Mrs H. Whitsel, of your city, Is visiting rel atives iu this vicinity. Our watermelon men have been reaping a rich harvest during the past two weeks. While at the fair just take a look at those melons entered by J . E. Barnett. They are a sample of what East Des Moines can do in the way of raising melons. Most of our people will attend the county fair during tbe week. We understand that Miss May Mobley, who weut to Washington Territory with her brother about a year ago, has entered the state of mat rimony. May her future life be one of peace and happiness is the earnest wish of her many old friends and school-mates, Tbe apple crop is almost an entire failure Our farmers will have to sell corn and buy ap ples this time Our spellers, being so old and infirm, did not attend Normal this year, but are patiently awaiting the acceptance of a proposition made to W. H Brown, of Monroe. Early corn is about out or the way of frost, but late planted needs several warm days yet to mature. The iron bridge over Much&kinock creek north of Eddyvllle has fallen into the creek, while the bridge at Given was washed out sev eral months ago, and in case of high water we would he hemmed in. The public needs call for these bridges to be replaced at once, we trust that the Board of Supervisors will see to it. Pastures are Improving with the recent rains aud stock is doing well. August si.

Seven Sabbath-schools iu Des Moines town ship report a total membership of 334 and aver age attendance of 212, and two schools not yet reported, and two others, near Excelsior, were reported in Garfield township, all of which wou'd make a total of about sooforthe member ship of Sabbath-schools in Des Moines town ship, which I think is a pretty good showing. How many can go ahead of it ourside of Oska loosa? The last rains did a great deal of damage to grain stacks where they were not well stacked. Some are wet nearly to the ground. B. Martin has 28 acres of oats that yielded about 40 bushels per acre, the best yet in these parts. J. F. Harrold threshed 525V* bushels oats in 3 hours, with horse power aud 32-inch cylinder.

Threshing is about finished, and wheat is making about 15 and oats 40 bushels to the acre. No other grains were raised here to amount to anything. We had a grove meeting here last Sabbath which was a grand success in the way of a crowd. Miss Ella Barnes, of Oskaloosa, was visiting with her country cousins during the Sabbath. Miss Carrie 8. Smith, of California, and Mrs. Moran, of Nebraska, are staying with T. M. Price and circulating among their old ac tuaiut auces in our parts of the county. Rev.

Splintkks. —With the irrepressible Vaughan, of Council Bluffs, running independent Democratic, and Doty, of Cedar Rapids, running independent Greenbacker, pol itics are beginning to look lively. —Washington Press: “Larrabee is tbe best equipped man for the place, in point of general business ability, legislative experience, etc., that has been named by any party. He is a man of great parts; he is bis own man; he isn’t owned by anybody; be has al ways paddled his own canoe, and to some purpose, and he would administer the office with independence and ability; he is clearheaded, and not a bit of a crank, aud can’t be wound round anybody’s or corporation’s, or any ring’s finger; his record is clear and honor able, his character Al. He has the mental stature to fill that office plum full, as Grimes filled it, as Kirkwood filled it.” —Des Moines Register: “The one particular bugaboo of average Green backers is a railroad attorney. They conjure with his name to frighten little children. They regard him as the in carnation of corporate greed and official corruption. They thinlc his presence a blight on everything he touches, and they see no redemption for him here or hereafter. It may please the dear Greenbackers who were desirous of fusing with their friends, the dear Democrats, to know that the Demo cratic State convention at Cedar Rapids wan managed and controlled bv five railroad attorneys representing tiw of the strongest railroads of lowa. Green backers and Democrats will please join hands and sing, Mown with monopolies/ while rail! oaa attorneys pass the hat.” t : - Peoria. OCSERVER. West Dos Moines. Olivet. Chicago Markets.
