IOWA UKMOCKATS,
The democratic state convention of lows
met lust Wednesday and nominated Gov
Boies for a second term by acclamation
and much enthusiasm. The remainder of
the ticket Is as follow: For lieutenant
governor, Samuel L Bestow; supreme
judge, L G Klnne; surerlntendent of pub-
lie instruction, J A Knoepler; railroad
commissioner, Peter A Day.
The platform adopted is as folic ws:
The repeal of the prohibitory liquor law,
and n the interests of true temperance fa
vors a carefully cuarded license law; fa
vors such changes of laws as will insure
full and equal taxation of every species of
property, alter allowing me present ex
emptions; favors the Australian ballot
system and denounces '.he republican party
"for the defeat of this salutary reform in
the twenty-third general assembly;" re
affirms adherence to the doctrine of the
control and regulation of railroads, as now
enacted Into law, with such changes as ex
perlence may show to be necessary to pro
tect the people frum invasions of the law;
calls for statutes which provide stringent
safeguards In the organization of all cor
porations, protect the people f rem fraud
ulent concerns, and when any such arti
ficial creature of the law is found engaged
in harmful practices, the law shall prompt
ly put an end to its existence; denounces
all trusts, pooU, and combines, and favors
such action,state and national, as will for- ,
feit to the nublicall franchises and property
made use of by corporations or others to
lorm trusts ot inanutactures, traue or com
merce to the Injury an Jspouation of the
people, and also to insure the punishment
criminally of individuals thus conspiring
against the public weal, declares mat in
the division of the products of labor and
capital, labor does not receive a talr pro
portion; renews that devotion to the in
terests and rights of the laboring and pro
duclng masses which has always been i
fundamental doctrine of the democratic
party; favors all fair and lawful methods
by which labor may secure laws establish
ing free public employment agencies and
adequate compensation, unaiminisneu oy
any device for the enrichment ot the tew
at the expense of the many; condemns the
practice of importing contract labor ior
work in mines or elsewhere; favors the
election of United States senators by a di
rect vote of the people, and holds in de
testation the alarming corruptions so wide
spread, in senatorial elections by legislatures.
vvc reiterate our demand of a year ago
tor the tree coinage ot silver, and tnat it be
made a full legal tender for all debts,public
and private, and denounces as unjust and
dishonest the provision ot the law, recent
ly enacted, allowing parties to stipulate
against payment in silver and silver cer
tificates, thus setting up one standard for
creditor and another for debtor; one for
the poor and another for the rich; favors
liberal and equitable pensions; denounces
the McKinley bill, the motives of its au
thors and defenders, and the theory under
which it is submitted for the approval of
the American people; Insists that every
expressive feature of the tariff be elimina
ted to the end that our merchant marine
may be restored to the sea and the market
the world opened to the producing classes.
The sugar bounty is not a tariff; it 1 as
spoliation of the treasury for special classes
and interests, which are no more entitled
to be aided by the government than the
farmers in their hardships and sufferings
as the vanguard of civilization ; denounces
the wasteful and lavish appropriations oi '
the last congress; declares unalterable op- i
position to non-resident alien ownership
of lands and of foreign syndicate owner
ship of our Industries; demands all un
earned land grants to be reclaimed and
held for actual settlers; sympathy i' ex
pressed with the Irish in their struggle for
home rule; abhorrence is expressed of the
Russian persecution of the Jews, and the
belief that all civilized nations should pro
. te6t; a liberal appropriation for the Iowa
exhibit at the world's fair is lecom
mended. The contest in that state will he of un
usual Interest as both parties arc hopeful
of success.
SQl'AIiE BACK DOWN.
The New Yotk Tribune which has here
tofore had much to say on the subject of
tin-plate, from a high protection stand
point recently Ictr its enthusiasm get the
best cf Its judgment, and now on its edl
torial page It makes the following ac
knowledgment of error;
"The Tribune will frankly say that In i
short paragraph In Its editorial column of
April 24 a statement was made that tin
plate In this country and had been so large
as to compel the v eisn irust to shut
down. That assertion was a mistake and
should never have been made. No one
regrets more than the Tri&rme that an in-
accurate item of that kind should have
been printed in Its columns.1'
The court of appeals oi New York has de
cided that a pledge to abstain from intoxicat
ing liquors, if kept, is a good enough consider
ation to enforce the payment of money prom
ised in a will under these conditions. It does
not matter that the abstainer is benefited by
his action, lie is even more entitled to the
money than as if h were injured. Indeed the
promise of money to perform an act injurious
to ones self or others could certainly not be
enforced, as it would be cltarly against public
policy,
What has become of the democratic party
of Portland, Albina and East Portland anyhow?
Hereafter the consolidated Portland is to be
run on good business principles. Capital
Jour fat.
Indeed, Mr Journal, pray tell us what has
become of the republican party of Portland,
and Its great leaders S B Fairish, Jim Lotan,
Joe Simon, M C George, John II Mitchell,
and J N Dolph? See?
Nearly every day brings additional evidence
that the better informed members of the
farmer's alliance are refusing to sn dorse the
tub-treasury scheme, providing for loaning
money by the government to farmers upon
non perishable products at a rate of interest
tot more than 2 per cent.
A butcher of Seymour, Ind, is said to have
found in the stomach of a slaughtered cow a
tiirer half dollar, several small bones a lot of
needles and pins, and a quarter of a pound of
iron nails.
The water cf the Great Salt Lake, Utah, Is
one of the purest and strongest brines known,
holding in solution 22 per cent of chloride of
sodium (pure salt), with but a slight mixture
of other salts.
The republicans of Ohio claim for their
party that "its aoh.evtmei.ts have no para
llel.' This is true, No other party ever spent
a biUbn dollars in two years.

A dispatch from Indianopolis says:
A secret political conference was he'd
tins city yesterday by prominent republicans
from Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois and Michigan
opposed to the re nonv nation of General Har
rison. General Alger was represented by
three Michigan repubrcans, who propose to
combine with the Gresham elcntnt in the
state named, and send a solid Gresham dele
gation to meet the national republican con
vention. Ex Congressman Conger was here
from Ohio, James MrNulty from Illinois,
Bradley from Kentucky, ann C W Fairbanks
and Otto Gresham of Indiana. Nearly every
county in Indiana was represented. The
cheme is to thoroughly organize every county
Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and
Kentucky as against Harrison It is regarded
as a formidable movement.
The republican platform ol Ohio may be
properly denominated as an cmatgam, with
very little silver, much tin, and no end of brass.
