THE OMAHA BEE OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY. BEPTTBLICAH PLATFOBM. WHEREAS , The Republican party , by Its coarse for tha put thirteen rears as the domi nant political organization of the United States , has allied Itielf to the liberty-loving oass of tbe world , and has made a record which invites scrutiny , and challenges all his tory for a parallel in derating i ununity , and establlihing on a firm basis "a government by the people In the people ; " and WHEREAS , Its several acts in preserving tte Union , in promoting and strengthening a com mon ailegience to tue flag and government of this republic have passed into history and elic ited the approval of the Itepublicin rentimcnt of the age , therefore we , the representatives of the Republican party of Nebraska , in conven tion assembled , do resolve as rollers , riz : 1st. That all honest labor should be rrotected , and receive its last reward 2d. Inat we earnestly desire that the credit of our giTernniout shall be fir.L-ly maintained , in order that tbe commercial and industrial in terests of the country mar not sutler injury by fluctuations in values or by impairing in ny drgrea that confidence whlth iiow .revailslu regard to our circulating medium which we hope will , at no d btant day , be based .pon cieullc currency , the rec'gnizad money of tbe wo. Id. Za. That we believe that banking , under a well-guarded national system , fhould be free , and we counsel reform and economy in all de partments of the public service , am a reduc tion of the public debt in such a way and as rapidly , as ft may be < lei e w thout imposing burdens upon tbe industries of tbe country 4th. That we demand a rigid accountability in the discharge of official duty on tbe part oi all office-holders , whether State or National , and thLt rs delegates , tpelting for constituents whniu we represent we disavow any sympathy wi h , or for dishonest public ofuciaJs , in what ever capacity they n.ay bo employi d. 5th That while vre rccc nize und appreciate tbe advantages derived by the people from a well-regulated sysUm of railways we demand that those public highways thould bo rendered subservient to the public good. 1 hat while we disavow any hostility toward railroad coi | > ora- tluns we proclaim our d teru instion to resist by lawful means all efforts to impose oppressive or extortion te transportation toln. Cth. That taxation , to be just must be equally imposed upon all dashes of property ; we therefore detnaud such Natiouul and State legislation as will compel i ai < roads and all other corporations to pjy the same proportion oi tax as is Imposed on individuals 7th. That we favor tbe pro , er exercise of tbe powers couferred upon ihe national govern ment by tbe coustltutioii to rcgulaio oommeirc between the States , aud to ihl , end we reco.n- ineud that the government o tabllsh aid ope rate a double tiacK. railway from the Missouri rive' to toe Atlantic sejtxurd. gth.

That the present so-cal'ed Quaker In dian policy has failed to aflord either benefits to the Indians or protection tu the front ! r set tlers , and we therefore demand the transfer of tbe management of the Indians to lha War De partment. 12th. That wo favor the renpportlonment of State representatives through the cnactuieut of a new constitution at the earliest practicable day consistent with cur present fundamental law , and that wo recommend the submission to tbe direct vote ot the people In a [ separate arti cle at the time the proposed new constitution voted the of "Pruiibltlon " is upon , questions , "Local Option , " and license 13th , That we approve the acts of Congress arbich put tbe rights o' all citizens under pro tection of the National authorities when they are assailed by hostile legislation , or by the vi olence of armed associations , whether open or secret , and in view of the recent ontrjgesln the touthern States , we demmd the enforce ment oi tbe laws that these r'gbta may be se curely and amply.brotected whenever and wher ever Invaded ; we do , however , disapprove of all unconstitutional legislation , lor the cure of tiny of the disorders of society , or evils which preiall in our land. 14th. That we are in favor of and most cor dlally invite immigration ti our State. Ne braska needs Immigration , thit its vast agricul tural , mineral , and manufacturing resources may be developed , with an area sufficient to make ten Stales ss large as Massachusetts , and a soli unsurpassed for fertility , we C ve a hearty welcome to the down-trodden masses of the old world.and assure them that they shall be secur * it thrlr lives , liberty and prop erty , and free to hold and express their relig ious and npllt.csl opinions without restraint. 15th. That , relying upon the intelligence of the people of our young and prosperous com- raouwcalih , which is soon to take high rank in the great family of Mates , wo hereby renew cur allegiance to the party which wo represent and call upon its classes , and conditions of men to unite with us In j erpeluating tbe bl ts- ings of free government in accordance with the cherished principles which actuate and control the creat bolr of our oeonle.

UOXTE , of Culfax county ; ACCORDINO to reliable advices from Maine , Senator Hamllu will be re-elected to the United States by an overwhelming majority. How Mr. JamesAV. Davis , a pro nounced and uncompromising infla tionist can stand'on a hard money platform , is one of the conundrums which the Credit Mobilier orator will doubtless be able to explain sat isfactorily in his stump speeches. TIIE most brilliant plank in the Independent platform is the gib resolution , which reads as follows : That our candidate for Governor is hereby pledged to tbe people to veto in all cases those jobs , that un der the pretense of subserving the public interests are mere schemes of individual gain. Iu other words , our candidate for Governor is hereby pledged to do his sworn duty. This is decidedly original and instructive. We venture to say this is the first platform in America that pledged a Governor to do what under his solemn oath of office and the con stitutional prerogative he could not fail to do unless he was either a natural born kiiaveor an idiot. THERE is a slight difference be tween the finance plank of the In dependents as adopted at their first convention at Lincoln , on August 12th , under which their call was issued , and the financial plank adopted by them Wednesday. The plank of three weeks ago reads as follows : ; . * 1st. That we are opposed to any policy or legislation which seeks a speedy resumptionof specie pay [ ment in the present financial condi tion of the country. > The plank adopted Wednesday declares : . That we are in favor of x the restoration of gold and silver as the basis of the currency and the re sumption of specie payment at the earliest practicable day without in * jury to the business interests of the ? pountry. : THE EEASOH WHY. While the BEE is in the business of defining certain planks in the repbblican platform , let its editor , who framed the following , tell us whether he has in the past , or ever expects in the future , to practice what he preaches : "First , Tbat all honest labo , should be protected and receive its just reward. " If ' 'all honest labor should be pro tected and receive its just rewaid , ' why did Mr. Eosewater raise his voice in opposition to allowing wo'kingmeii representation in the Republican btate Convention , a fa vor which thej asked because it was deemed no more than just in vie\\ of their numbers and strength Ihe names sent to the Eepub lican convention were men who have always acted with the dominant party , and being intelli gent as well as faithful Republicans there would have been no inconsis tency in the convention selecting a least mie of them , which , no doubt , "would have been done had it not been for a few leading spirits in the party like the editor of the Br.n , who are fond of prating abou protection and reward to hones labor , but take good care not to grant anythingof the kind. Union This transparent tissue of absun falsehood is simply an ingeniou effort to array Omaha workingmen against the Eepublican party. I only furnishes another striking illustration of the cotemptiblc coursi pursued by the Union in this connec tion. It is decidedly contempt ! ble and absurd to ask Mr. Eose water to explain why he raised his voice in opposition to allowing working men representation in the Eepublican State Convention when it is well known that he was not a member of the Couutj Convention , and therefore couh not raise his voice eithe : for or again-st any proposition before that body. It Is also an established fact that there were several work ingmen among the dplegates to that Convention , and why did thej not raise their voices in behalf o that proposition ? Is not their si lencp.a striking proof that tae at tempted dictation of delegates by an outside non-political organization did not meet their approval ? Again , why did the Trades' As sembly discriminate against the Eepublican party , by demanding the privilege of naming six dele gates to its State Convention ? Anc why did they fail to demand the same privilege from the Democratic and Independent Conventions ? This flagrant discrimination against the Eepublican party justly deserves to be condemned by the honest workingmen , irrespective oi partizan attachments. And now wo propose to brielly explain why the Eepublicans did not act upon the recommendation of the Trades' Assembly. It was understood some time before the convention assem bled that certain applicants for com missions in the postal service were seeking these positions on the representation that they con trolled the Trades' Assembly. It was also understood that these par ties were the originators of the proposition to send six workingmen to the Bepublican State Convention The fact that some of these hunters after postal clerkships were among the parties selected by the assembly furnished conclusive proof that the whole affair was mauipula ted in the interest of these spoils hunters. Another reason why no action was taken upon this matter was becau e the convention could not consistent ly establish a precedent by which an organization composed of Dem ocrats , Eepublicens , Liberals and Independents could dictate the del egates to a puiely Bepubiiean con vention. Had this privilege been conceded the Omaha Turner's Society , the Emmet Association , the Brewers' Union , any other influential organ ization could consistently claim the same rights. Wo apprehend that these reaionB will fully cover tbe ground and spare us all further dis cussion of this subject. WESTEBK INTERESTS. The manngers of the Lincoln CanCan - Can treated the West with the most careful contempt. They picked up poor Eoberts for Attorney General , and threw Webster overboard , in order to punish an officer for trying to recover scores of thousands of stolen money from the old ring. But beyond this they did nothing but insult Use representatives of thc western portion of the State. Her ald. This is Just about as near the truth as any statement yet made by the ijferatd touching the Eepublican nominations aud platform. The fact is that those representatives of the wcbtern portion of the State , who participated in the Eepublican State Convention , werp forced to admit that the West bad secured more than it had ever asked for or expected. Look at the Bepublican State ticket , if you please , and you will find that Silas Garber , the candidate for Governor , liails from Webster county , in the extreme West , while Joseph C. McBrSde , the candidate for treasurer , i icsides in Colfax county , within thirty miles of the sixth principal meridian. Leaving out Eoberts , of Red Willow , for attorney general , we also find C. J. Dilworth , from Phelps county , and M. E Hoxle , . frpm Colfax county , as nominees for district attorneys. To sum up , Western Xebraska , witli about one- third of the population of the State , has secured three out of the seven principal candidates on the Repub lican ticket , and two out of the three district attorneys. So much for insulting the Western Kepresenta- tives. s IP the delegates to all the opposi tion conventions , including the ndepcndents Prohibitionists , Dera- ) cratic and people's parties , had if lonsolidated into one harmonious > dy they would still have had some fifty , delegates less than were PIPI PIP i issembled at Lincoln last week iis P < epresentatives of the Bepublican PI V arty. And this Is a fair index of he popular sentiment IB tbe State , of f PERSONALITIES. Hon. Judah P. Benjamin's law practice in London brings him $40- 000 a year. President Grant will give a State dinner to Postmaster General Jew ell on the 14th hist. Whitelaw Eeid , of the New York Tribune , is reported as dangerously ill of congestion of the brain. George C. Gorham , secretary of the United States Senate , and Mrs. Gorham were in Salt Lake city last weet. General John C. .Breckinridge still continues in very poor health , and his physicians are very anxious about his condition. Bev. Henry Ward Ececher will deliver the address before'the fair of Grafton county at Plymouth , N. H. on the 22d inst. Anna Dickinson is going to Eu rope soon. She had better huiry up with her statement about that silk dress of Susan Anthony's. Mr. J. A. Froude has started on his tour of the world. He sailed on the 23d ult. from Dartmouth , Eng land , on board the Walmer Castle , bound for the Cape of Good Hope. Senator Morton's health has not improved by his Hot Springs visit. He is now ? t his residence in Indi anapolis quite poorly. The health of Senator Pratt is also giving out , and it is doubtful if he will be able to work the canvass through. Ed. House , ot Evans , is one of the most versatile men in the coun try. He is station agent for the railroad company , express agent , telegraph operator , Justice of the Peace , Town Clerk , local editor of the Evans Journal aud runs a hot house and a henery besides. Thurlow Weed may be seen every morning walking from his house on West Twelfth street , near Fiftli avenue , New York , with his poc kets full of fruit , which he deals out with a generous hand to crowds of little urchins who besiege his resi dence. Mr. Weed counts this RS one of his greatest pleasures. The "Drummer Boy of Chickamauga - mauga , " whose bravery on the battlefield tle-field hasbeen the theme of many a sonc and story , is now known as Lieutenant John A. Clem , of the 24th United States Infantry. He was only twelve years of age at the time he became famous , but his ad mirers did not lose sight of hmand ! in due time he received his present commission from the President. Mr. Murat Halstead writes as fol lows in one of his letters on the Iceland celebration : "Mr. Bayard Taylor was introduced as the Skald of Amirica. He quite surprised the people by addressing them in Dan ish briefly but fluently , expressing sentiments of respect and congratu lation. When he had concluded , the King who was standing ia the thick of the crowd , led the cheer ing , giving the Skald the full aud regular three times three. At the Geysers a few days afterward the King told Mr. Taylor ho was ex ceedingly surprised to hear him speak in Danish , and complimented him upon his command of the lan guage. " General Garibaldi has only three persons with him on the Island of Caprera ; First , M. Basso ; next , a countryman , about 20 ; and , lastlv , an old female cook. His dwelling , as is known , is of the most simple kind Thepnncipal room , that oc cupied by himself , contains only a fireplace , a bed , a few chairs , a side board , and in a corner a heap of books. There is also a plaster bust of Colonel Nullo , who died in Po , land , and a largo portrait in oil of the American General Flores. This is the richest chamber of the house. The island produces plenty of almonds mends , tigs , and grapes , but only a few orange and lemon trees , trans planted thither by Garibaldi , and Cultivated by himself. Goats abound , and there are a consjdera- b.e number of wild cats , Of Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher , it is said that she is ruddy-faced , with a profusion of gray hair , and some what stout in figure One summer Mr. Beecher had gone to Peekskill in advance of his wife , who remain ed iu Brooklyn to see that the house was left in proper condition for the vacation. A new coachman was hired in Peekskill who had never seen Mrs. Beecher , and on the day of her expected arrival he was sent to the station to fetch her home. After a time he returned alone , and , in auswer to Mr. Beecher's en quiries , he said that Mrs. Beecher di'l not come on that train. "That's impossible , " said the astonished par son ; "sho telegraphed this morning that she would take the 5 o'clock train. Did no one get out at the station ? " "No one except an old Irish woman. " "Go right back , ' ' said Mr. Becober , "and fetch the Irish woman. She's m ; wfo. { " CROPPINGS. { The Louisiana rice crop is a partial - tial failure. Sew cotton is pouriiiR into Aus tin. Over 40,000 pounds of slippery elm bark were in one week shipped from BoscobelVis. . , for New York. According to the Galvcston JVeii's the climate of Texas is particularly adapted to the cultivation of al monds. A farmer near South Bend , Ind. , has over 200 swarms of bees and sells nearly 2,000 pounds of honey per year. The nyishroom crop in Anglesby was so heavy this season that for a three days the London and .North ac ac western Railway Company were c obliged to run special trains for the a conveyance of the crop to the English - 1 < lish market. 41 .

In Galicia and ir Bukovina the rye harvest is over irU and those of wheat and barley in U progress.

Proclamation by Governor Furnas A General State Committee Ap pointed. The following proclamation has been issued by His Excellencj * . E. W. Furnas , Governor of the State of Nebraska : STATE OF NEBRASKA , 1 EXECUTIVE DEPAKTMENT , , > LINCOLN , Sept. 8,1874. J As Governorof the State , uo pow er is in me vested to provide for th relief of those among our citizen who have lost their crops this sea faon. The money in the Treasury cannot be applied to the purpose , however urgent the need. iJut I have taken A deep interest in tbj matter , and have endeavored t' ' learn all of the facts. It is a subjec for gratitude that , notwithstanding the unfavorable agricultural year , the State , as ii whole , has reaped fair harvest. Though our corn crop has been greatly damaged by grass hoppers , aud also by the drouth which has affected the whole coun try , we have saved our wheat , and generally , other crops , and there is nothing in the event of the year to retard the progress of the State. But the poorer immigrants push west. They settle on the frontier and , by the necessity of the case , several years must elapse before they can cease their dependence upon corn as the staple crop. This year's visitation , therefore , falls oi the frontier countieswith particular force. Numbers of our citizen ! : there resident , in losing the bulk o theii corn , lose their year's labor : and they have not the means to maintain themselves and their fain ilies during the coming winter with out outside help. They must be aided , or they must quit the coun try Unilcr these circumstances it ii the duty , and I beliuve the.desire , o the people of the older and richer portions of the State , to contribute from their abundance towards sup plying the wants of the pioneers on the frontier. This duty is pressing , for the need is now present and se vere , and by private benevolence it can most promptly be met. 1 there fore invite all the citizens of Ne braska , who may be so disposed , to give liberally to their suffering fel low citizens on our western border. Money , food and clothing , aud seed for next year's crops , will be needed , and nothing but prompt help will place those , who otherwise would be obliged to leave homesteads and the State , above absolute want , aud enable them to remain on their farms. In order that all who give may feel assured of the proper and wise application of whatever is donated , I hereby ask the following well known citizens of the State to act as a general committee for the re ceipt and distribution of all con tributions and request them to meet at Lincoln on Friday , tbe 18th day of September , for organization , and for biich other action as may seem to them proper : Governor Al vin Saunders , Omaha. J Sterling Morton , Nebraska City. O H Irish , ' " W B Porter , Plattsmouth. D H Wheeler , 'j Mayor S W Little , Lincoln. Amosa Cobb , " Judge E S Dundy , Falls City. A S Paddock , Beatrice.

Tobias Castor , AVilbur. A E Touzalin , B & M E E Co. O F Davis , U P E E Co. J N Converse , M P E E Co. It is my duty and belief that all of those here named * will be able aud willing to act in this behalf , ana will at once , on their organiza tion , devise the most efficient ma chinery for managing this very much needed charity. EGBERT W. FURNAS , Governor. Iron Trade Prospects. The following clipping from the Pittsburg Dispatch will prove of interest to business men and manu facturers : The outlook of the iron trade is a matter of great importance not only in Pittsburg and Western Pennsyl vania , but also in Eastern Ohio and We-t Virginia. The Bulletin of the Iron and Steel Association , a competent authority in all matters pertaining to this business , dis cussed in an able article which ap peared iu its issue of yesterday the questions involved. The paper quoting its review of the market on July 30th , said that the stock of pig iron was then large , the im provement In prices scarcely per ceptible , their prices not being suf ficient to compensate the producers , it and that there would not be any general revival of business before September. The following com ments are then made. The opinions expressed a month ago we see no reason to modify to day. There is no general improve ment in the iron trade of this coun try. H rc and there is an Increased local demand , caused by the giving out of orders which cannot longer be withheld , but the general revival of biiainess in the iron trad-- , which can only come from the giving out of large orders for railway supplies , and from the re-establishment of confidence and activity in all pro ductive and commercial channels , lias not yet taken place. What this month of September and October may bring forth we cannot prognosticate , but the indi- T 3atious are that they will not greatly idd to the volume of business. The leading railroads are buying spar ingly , and they are not likely to jhange this policy for one that is less conservative. Our abundant harvest will not lielp the general iron business to my appreciable extent , for the ab sence of a large foieign demand will lepress prices ot produce and com- jel the farmers and those directly lependent upon them to buy all xinils of manufactured goods with he utmost caution. It is clearly a mistake { o suppose hat a good harvest necessarily helps u. iness ; it does not. There may Ki W e n surplus of agricultural products , th there has lately been a surplus of ron products , and we know what hat means. Tljon , too , wp hitve 25i nany thousands of unemployed vorkingmcn in every State in the Jnion , and so long as this is the ase general business will suffer , md the trade must sympathise with ither industries. Still another unfavorable indica- ion of the immediate future of the ron trade is the plethoric condition the banks of the country. Money In not in the channels of productive InH ndustry , but in strong vaults , where H ( is earning nothing for the people , long as money hides Itself In the ity banks , from which it ventures nly when tempted by a well-se- ured call loan , there can be no gen- ral stimulus' to the Iron business or any other business. Ra tui # * # # # Frankly , we do not look for much revival in the business of mailing iron before next spring. What is there to produce it ? If the railroads were heavily in the market we would take courage , but they are not , and we cannot believe that they are soon going to be. Clearly the iron men must wait , and in wailing the winter will come and CO. It is no time to put in blast a furnace that is now idle ; it is no time to pile up bar iron or railroad iron in the hope that there will be an iron hunger throughout the land before Christmas. There won't be. Go slow. It is some comfort to know that prices are at the bottom. If they could go lower , the bottom would fall out of everything. Next year will see better times than these , and 1876 still better , but 1874 may be depended upon to maintain the bad reputation with which it began its luckless career. BANKING. EZRA MILLARD. 1 J.
