REPUBLICAN PLATFORM-1880.
Tbe republican party in national con-xi-ntiou
assembled, at the end of twenty
years -inec the federal government wab
iirit committed to its charge, submits to
the people ofthe United States this brief
report o it administration. It sup
pressed a rebellion which bad armed
nearlv :i million of men to subvert the
national authority. It reconstructed the
union of tin Mates with freedom, in
stead of slatcrv a it corner-tone. It
tran-formed 4,"ooo,ooo or human beings
from the likeness of things, to the rank
of citizens. It relieved congress from
the iu famous work of bunting fugitive
slaves and charged it to see that slavery
does not exist. It has raised the value
of our paper currency from US per cent,
to the par of gold. It ha restored upon
a solid basis payment in coin for all the
national obligations, and has given us a
currency absolutely good and equal in
Tcry part of our extended country. It
has 1'itted the credit of the nation from
whereC per cent, bonds sold for 86 cents,
to that where 4 per cent, bonds are
eagerly sought at a premium. Under
its administration railroads have in
creased from 31,000 miles in 18G0 to more
than 82,000 miles in 1879. Our foreign
trade has increased from $700,000,000 to
$1,150,000,000 in the same time, and our
exports, which were $20,000,000 less than
our imports in 18G0, were $204,000,000
more than our imports in 1879. Without
resorting to loans it has since the war
closed defrayed the ordinary expenses
of the government, besides the accruing
interest on the public debt, ana has
annually disbursed more than $30,000,
000 for soldiers' pensions. It has paid
?sy,000,000 of the public debt, and by
reluuding the balance at lower rates has
reduced the annual interest charge from
nearly $151,000,000 to less than $89,000,
000. All the industries of the country
have revived, labor is in demand,wages
bac increased, and throughout the en
tire country there is evidence of a
coming prosperity greater than we have
ever enjoyed.
Upon this record the republican party
asks for the continued confidence and
support of the people, and this conven
tion submits for their approval the lol
loping statements of the principles and
purposes which will continue to guide
and inspire its efforts:
1st. We affirm that the work of the
last twenty-one yean has been such as
to commend itself to the favor of the
uation, and that the lruits of the costly
victories which we have achieved thro'
immense difficulties should be preserv
ed; that the peace regained should be
cherished; that the dissevered union,
now happily restored, should be perpet
uated, and that the liberties secured to
this generation should be transmitted
undiminished to future generations;
that the order established and the credit
acquired should never be impaired; that
the pensions promised should be ex
tinguished by the full payment of every
dollar thereof; that the reviving indus
tries should be further promoted, and
that the commerce, already so great,
Mliould be steadilv encouraged.
2d. The constitution of the United
States is a supreme law not a mere con
tract; out of confederated states it made
a sovereign nation. Some powers are
denied to the nation, while others are
denied to the states, but the boundarv
between the powers delegated and those
reserved is to be determined bv the na
tional and not bv the state tribunals.
"d. The work of popular education is
one left to the care of the several states,
but it is the duty of the national gov
ernment to aid that work to the extent
or its constitutional duty. The intelli
gence of the nation is but the aggregate
of the intelligence in the several states,
and the destiny of the nation must be
guided not by the genius of any one
Mate, but the average genius of them
all.
4th. The constitution wisely forbids
congress to make auv law respecting an
cutablUhme nt of religion, but it Is idle
to hope that the nation can be protected
against the influence of sectarianism
Vhilc each state is exposed to Its domi
nation. We therefore recommend that
the constitution be so amended as to lay
the same prohibition upon the legisla
ture of each state, and to forbid appro
priation of public funds to the support
ot sectarian schools.
rth. We aflirm the belief avowed in
1S7G, that the duties levied for the pur
pose of revenue should so discriminate
as to lavor American labor, that no
further grant of the public domain sho'd
be made to any railway or other cor
poration; that slavery having perished
in the states, its twin barbarltv, polyg
amy, must die in the territories; that
everywhere the protection accorded to
citizens of American birth must be
secured to citizens by American adop
tion, and that we esteem it the duty of
congress to develop and improve our
water courses aud harbors, and insist
that further subsidies to private persons
or corporations must cease; that the
obligations of the republic to the men
who preserved its integrity in the hour
of battle are undiminished bv the lapse
of lifteen years since their final victory
to do them perpetual honor is, and
shall forever be, the grateful privilege
and 6acred duty of the American peo
ple. tith. Since the authority to regulate
immigration and intcrcouse between the
United States and foreign nations rests
with congress or with the United States
and its treaty making powers, the re
publican party, regarding the unre
stricted immigration of the Chinese as
an evil of great magnitude, invoke the
exercise of those powers to restrain and
limit that immigration by the enact
ment of such Just, humane, and reason
able provisions as will produce that
result.
7th. That the purity and patriotism
which characterized the earlier career
of Rutherford B. Hayes in peace and
war, ind which guided the thoughts of
our immediate predecessors to him for a
presidential candidate have continued
to inspire him in his career as chief
executive, and that history will accord
to his administration the honors which
are due to an efficient, just and cour
teous discharge of the public business,
and will honor, his interposition be
tween the people and proposed partisan
laws.
8th. We charge upon the democratic
party the habitual sacrifice of patriot
ism and justice to a supreme and insa
tiable lust of office and patronage; that
to obtain possession of the national and
state governments and the control of
place and position they have obstructed
all efiorts to promote the purity and to
conserve the freedom of suffrage and
have devised fraudulent certificate! and
return; have labored to unseat lawfully,
elected members of congress, to secure
at all hazards the vote of a majority of
me siaies in me uouse oi representa
tives; have endeavored to occupy by
force and fraud the places of trust given
to others by the people of Maine, and
rescued by the courageous action oT
Maine's patriotic sons; have, by meth
ods vicious in principle and tyrannical
iu practice, attached partisan legisla
tion to appropriation bills, upon whose
passage the very movements of the gov
ernment depend, and have crushed the
rights of individuals; have advocated
the principles and sought the favor of
rebellion against the nation, and have
endeavored to obliterate the sacred
memories of the war, and to overcome
its Inestimably valuable result of na
tionality, personal freedom and individ
ual equality.
The equal, steady and complete en
forcement of laws and the protection of
all our citizens in the enjoyment of all
privileges: and Immunities guaranteed
by the constitution, are the tirst-duties
of the natiou. The dangers of a solid
south can only be averted by a faithful
performance of every promise which the
nation has made to the citizen. The
execution of the laws and the pualsh
ment of all those who violate them arc
the only safe methods by which an
enduring peace can be secured and
genuine prosperity established through
out the south. Whatever promises the
nation makes the nation must perform,
and the nation cannot with safety rele
gate this duty to the states. The solid
south must be divided by the peaceful
agencies of the ballot, and all opinions
must there find free expression, and to
this end the honest votes must be pro
tected against terrorism, violence, or
fraud.
And we affirm it to be the duty and
the purpose of the republican party to
use everv legitimate means to restore
all the states of this union to the most
perfect harmony that mav be practica
ble, and we submit it to "the practical,
sensible people of the United States, to
say whether it would not be dangerous
to the dearest interests of our country
at this time, to surrender the adminis
tration of the national government to
the party which seeks to overthrow the
existing'policy under which we are so
prosperous, and thus bring distrust aud
confusion where there are now order,
confidence, and hope.
The republican party, adhering to the
principles affirmed by the las't national
convention, of respect for the constitu
tional rules governing the appointment
to office, adopts the declaration of Pres
ident Haves that the reform of the civil
service shall be thorough, radical and
complete: to that end it demands the
co-operation of the legislative with the
executive departments of the govern
ment, and that congress shall so legis.
late that fitness, ascertained by proper
practical tests, shall admit to the public
service.
For the Journal.
IVetev of PresrrefcR-
Gradually the waves of agricul
ture are reaching out over the valleys
and creeping up the bluffs and hill
eideB, there to meet with other waves
that have extended themselves over
the uplands till fields and groves
blend harmoniously like mosaic Iu
traveling across the country, one is
iu a state of perpetual surprise at
the groves and lines of trees that
seem to have come up in a day as it
were, and we exclaim in wonder
ment that eo much land is broken
here, and trees springing there when
only a year or two ago it was naught
but wild prairie. The plowed fields
sometimes lie iu plain squares and
covered with vegetation in syste
matic order they resemble the patch
work spreads made by our "sisters,
our cousins and our aunts," and
again others viewed from a distance
take on fantastic shapes, now cir
cling round the foot of a bill, the
long rows of corn or trees giving
them the appearance of a huge neck
lace embroidered with emeralds.
Nowhere does a grove spread itself
in such magnificent array and show
to such advantage as when it crowns
the crest of some hill, penciling the
sunny slopes with long colonades of
dark green, where swaying branches
whisper of rest to the tired laborer,
the weary pilgrim or thp inquisitive
school-boy, looking at the drifting
clouds through the vietas made by
the patting leaves, little dreaming of
the undeveloped power hidden in
these monarrtiB that arc to be. Only
a few years hence, a decade perhaps,
and these forests in embryo that
might appear to a casual observer
so unimportant now, will so modify
the climate, improve and beautify
the landscapes that the expectations
of the most sanguine will without
doubt fall far short of the actual
change.

Editor Journal: The introduc
tion of blooded stock into Platte
county will bring into notice some
of our laws which thus far have been
as a dead letter. For instance, the
following :
"Sec 79. If the owner or owners,
keeper or keepers of any bnll, boar,
or buck shall knowingly and pur
posely or carelessly allow the same
to go at large out of his, her, or their
enclosure and keeping, he, she, or
they shall forfeit and pay a fine of
five dollars for such offence."
In other sections of our laws the
imposed fine is according to circum
stances, as high as fifty dollars, but
I have not time at present to copy
them. These regulations seem to
be but just and right. Men expend
ing hundreds of dollars and even
thousands to get good stock are
great benefactors to the country,
and their interest should be pro
tected. Supposing a man bring in
a cow from the east worth say $300,
intending to raise good stock and
his neighbor's scrub bull comes
along and instead of a calf worth
$100 at birth he gets one worth $10
what would even the $50 fine
amount to? Breeder.
Garfield aii Back: Pay.
Washington, June 27. The fol
lowing letter explains itself:
Treasury Department,
Office of the Secretary,
Washington, June 22. )
To H. D. Dusey, Esq., Des Moines, la.:
Sir. In reply to your letter of the
17th just received, asking to be in
formed on what date James A. Gar
field paid into the treasury bis back
pay snd bow the treasury books
show this transaction, I have to
inform you, it appears from records
of this office, that the sum of $4548
was deposited to the credit of the
treasurer of the United States in the
name of James A. Garfield, on ac
count of increase of salary of the
22d of April. 1873, And that this
amount was covered into the treas
ury by a miscellaneous covering
warrant number 704, second quarter,
1873, and cannot be withdrawn ex
cept by act of congress.
Very respectfully, yours
J. K. UrTON,
Assistant Secretary.
The following facts are worth
noting: The number of electoral
votes in 1880 is 369, the same num
ber as in 1876. It requires 185 to
make a majority. The electoral
commission in 1877 awarded to Mr.
Tilden 184 and to Mr. Hayes 185.
The votes of the southern States
with that of New York will not
elect a candidate. He must bave in
addition to the entire southern vote
and the vote of New York that of
either Indiana, or Connecticut and
New Jersey, or the equivalent vote
of other Northern States.

AN ACCOMPLISHED YOUNG LADY.
Failing to get Employment as
Teacher She Hires out as a
Cattle Herder.
Pawnee Enterprise.
One of the youug lady herders
mentioned by the Enterprise a few
weeks ago, writes the following in
teresting letter to the Humboldt
Sentinel:
Editor Sentinel : I saw in your
paper a short time ago that the Paw
nee Enterprise had stated that a
young lady near Table Rock had
taken charge of a herd of cattle. As
I believe I am the person referred
to in the Enterprise, I would like to
explain why I am herding. Last
spring, after my school had closed,
I was examined 'by the county su
perintendent and marked "A." My
parents desired me to teach in our
owu district that I might be at home,
and I accordingly applied for the
school. The directors gave me ev
ery encouragement, and I was given
to understand that if not underbid
I should be employed. There were
but two applications for the position,
myself and another lady, until a
person in the form of a man applied
and secured the Bcbool. Being out
of employment and my pareuts iu
limited circutustauces, I concluded
to herd cattle, that being the best
situation offered me. I have a herd
of 90 head of cattle, and am receiv
ing $18 per mouth. My father takes
my place with the herd Sundays
and rainy days. My sister assists
me with the herd, so that I have
company the greater part of the
time. Very respectfully,
Young Lady IIekder.
Tia-Liaed Stomachs.
"Yes" said a well-known chemist
to a World reporter last evening,
"people will hare tin-lined stomachs
before long." Then the chemist
went to a closet and took therefrom
several small bottles, which he held
up before a strong light. He exhib
ited several sheets of tin which had
been extracted from 6iigar purchas
ed from extensive dealers in this
city. "This," said the chemist, "is
what they use in the adulteration of
sugars, and I am informed that some
of the dealers buy tin by the ton.
This tin has been cut with muriatic
acid and was, used in sugars and
syrups. I have here exhibiting
some other small bottles samples of
glucose. From 25 to .10 per cent, is
used in sugars and 75 per cent, in
syrups. Poor starch and flour are
also used by some of these wealthy
sugar dealers, and I am informed
that such adulterated sugars produce
skin diseases. Here is a bottle ex
hibiting a reddish brown powderj
that I cannot describe. I don't
know what it is, but intend to find
out. It was taken from sugar." The
chemist is yet at work, and in a
short time expects to make his
report public. JV. Y. World.
The Omana Herald calls npon
Nebraskans to support English be
cause he was the author of the Kan
sas and Nebraska bill. Yea, verily.
The Kansas and Nebraska bill was
gotten up for the purpose of giving
about 150,000 square acres of land to
the South as a slave market. It was
just such northern statesmen as
English that encouraged the South
ern Democrats to push their plans
for the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise, and the enactment of the
fugitive slave law. These two Dem
ocratic measures broke up the old
Whig party, organized the Republi
can party as a protest against the
extension of slavery in the north
west, split the Democratic party in
two at the Charleston Convention,
and caused the war that followed the
election of Lincoln in 1860. What
Nebraskans, and all other citizens of
the United States, owe this man
English and the rest of the northern
dough-faces that assisted him and
his bill, and in tbe furtherance of
the base policy it represented cannot
be easily reckoned. They will pay
the debt, however, in some other
way than in giving him the second
highest office in the gift of the nation.
Nebraska will especially-lay herself
out to reward this eminent benefac
tor, -that plotted to make her prairies
the heritage of the slave driver. We
are obliged to the Herald for this
timely reminder of our obligations
to English. Lincoln Journal.
A London tourist in Scotland met
a yonng woman of Falkirk going to
the kirk, aud, as was not unnsnal,
she was carrying her boots in her
hand and trudging along barefoot
ed. "Jiy girl,' sam he, "is it cus
tomary for all the people in these
parts to go barefooted?" "Pairtly
they do, and pairtly they miud their
own business." In this town of
Falkirk there lived a very notor
ious infidel who gloried in his pro
fanity. On one occasion be was
denouncing the absurdity of the doc
trine of original sin, and the beadle
of the parish, perhaps, thought him
self bound officially to put in bin
word, although the other was so
cially his superior. "Mr. H.," 6aid

Nebraska.
Two brief articles have been pre
pared and published, aud left stand
ing in the Journal, relative to
Nebraska, its advantages and pro
ducts. Oue more short article must
close the series for this season.
To persons who never saw a prai
rie country, to look over it is rather
an interesting sight ; as a general
thing the absence of timber gives to
it the appearance of waste and bar
renness to those who are accustomed
to live in a timbered country. Tim
ber of every kind common to this
latitude can be cultivated on the
prairies of Nebraska. Near the wa
ter courses and river bluffs a large
quantity of trees are gencrolly found
growing in great luxuriance.
Among the varieties found in such
localities are cottonwood, box-elder,
buckeye, maple, locust, ash, hickory,
oak, willow, poplar, sycamore, wal
nut, pine and cedar. The shrubs
include common juniper, pawpaw,
prickly ash, sumacs, red root, spin
dle tree, plum, currants and goose
berries, dogwood, butter bush, buffa
lo berry, mulberry and hazlenut.
Cedars arc found on the islands of
the Platte, and aloug the Loup, and
on the Niobrara there is a large
quantity of pine.
But the iutcresting point we want
to make is the fact that all this
yariety of trees will grow aud flour
ish on the prairie, and that as much
timber as may be needed by each
farmer can be raised on his farm.
It is not a little surprising to know
that the early travelers, and, among
others, Gen. Fremont, should have
formed the opinion that the prairies
of Nebraska were a sandy desert,
unsuited for farming purposes, when
in these times it has been examined
by competent judges and pronounc
ed without any hesitation to he a
region which is to be the great grain
and stock -producing area of the
continent. Men don't mako bread
of saud, and they don't, as a general
thing, settle in such localities. The
United States cover 23 degrees of
latitude ; away to the fiwen north,
and down to the semi-tropic south.
With all this choice, from the be
ginning of western settlement the
great current of movement has been
within a "central belt five or six de
grees in width, and nearly corres
ponding with the latitudinal length
of Illinois, which lies between 36
degrees, 5C minutes and 1y, degrees.
This is the belt in the United States
in which industry obtains the most
certain and highest rewards. It is
temperate in climote and a man
can work tip to his best notch. The
land is fruitful, and bears in great
abundance those products which are
necessaries of life, and which there
fore have a steady commercial value.
The population of Nebraska in the
beginning of 1856 was 10,716, and at
tbe close of 1875, 259,912, which was
a twenty-five-fold increase in twen
ty years.
Corn in Nebraska is most bounti
ful in production ; with fair cultiva
tion the yield is from 50 to 60 bush
els pur acre. Wheat from 15 to 25
bushels per acre. Barley from 30 to
40 bushels. Rye 25 to 30 bushels.
Oats 40 to 50 bushels. A country
which is adapted to the raising of
corn ; small grains ; good for grass
and hay, and has at all times a fa
vorable climate, must be a good
location for stock-raising. Live
stock is in great demand the civilized
over, and it is in live stock the far
mer finds a great deal of his wealth.
It has been demonstrated among
the Nebraska farmers that mixed
farming is the most profitable, there
fore every farmer should combine
grain and stock raising. In fact
every farmer that has carried cattlo
upon bis farm and handled them
with judgment for any length of
time is now enjoying the rich profits
of his investment and labor. Look
around among your neighbors and
in every case where money has been
invested in stock and handled with
care it ha brought the largest in
crease iu dollars aud cents to those
who have invested. Aud there is
room in Nebraska for hundreds of
thousands more farmers.
A cord, more or less, of wood,
grown on the farm of ex-Governor
Furnas,-was received at the B.& M.
land office department, yesterday.
They are cut in pieces about two
feet in length, aud labeled. The
labels show the kind of timber, the
time planted, and when cut. The
varieties are hickory, elm, ash, but
ternut, and in fact every tree that
can be made to grow in Nebraska.

It is generally understood that
democrats vote for the nominee, and
the democratic presidential candi
date whoever he may be, is pretty
Btire to get the entire electoral vote
of the tiouthern atates 138. There
is a bare possibility of a different
result iu Florida, but. it is too slight
to count. In the lat preshlenli.il
election, Hayes received 166 of the
electoral votes of the northern states,
and we count these same states as
sure for Garfield. Four northern
states gave their votes to Tildeu.
New York 35, Indiana 15, New
Jersey 9, and Connecticut 6 total
65. These are the debatable votes.
It takes 185 votes to elect; therefore
of these debatable votes the demo
crats must secure 47 to succeed
while the republicans need but 23 of
them. In 1876 Connecticut gave a
democratic plurality of 2,900; Indi
ana, 5,514; New Jersey, 12,445 and
New York 32,818. The enthusiasm
with which the Chicago nomination
is received presages that the Repub
licans will 6weep away these major
ities and secure New York, Indiana,
and Connecticut, at least, with a fair
show for New Jersey. Iu this couut
New York shows a decided demo
cratic majority, but since that time
the state has elected a republican
Governor aud the machiuery of the
government, which is a power in
the Empire state, is in the hands ot

cratic party. It is the spirit that
saved the Union against the, spirit

This is the coutest as the people will
see it, and in this contest, though
they love the Union soldier, they
will vote against the democratic
