It has been n great disappointment to the democrats , and no less a gratification to the republicans , that the convention which closed to-night was one-of the most harmonious and enthu siastic In the hlstoiy of the party , ( lovcrnor tiivir remaiked this afteinoon : "I have never seen In twenty-live jears the republi cans of Iowa so ten Ibly in earnest as they are this > ear. " Tills determination and en thusiasm were visible In all the stages ot the convention. The republican paity in Iowa have had their little family quarrels occa sionally for the last few years , but this yearthey determined that factional strife and personal diireienci ! should be put under foot nnd republican success alone bo considered. So it has been a glorious convention , like one of the old days of IOWM icmibllcanlsm. Not for many > ears have tliero been so many of the stiong men of Iowa who take part In de liberations and shared in Its councils as in this convention. Tlio kej note of the campaign was sounded clcai and strong by Senator Allison In his opening speech as chairman of the conven tion. He lifted Its work at once to a high place by the dlunlty and strength with which he Introduced the national features which properly came beftno It. With a con vention stalling out on the high ground of national Issues and patriotic counsels , there was no chance for petty bickerings on irrele vant stilfes. There was some fear on the paitof a few timid souls that dissension might bo Introduced Into the convention by ix few distuiblng elements. The only possi ble occasion was in connection with a con testing delegation from Fremont county. This was composed of men who bolted the republican ticket last tall and aie now su | > - portlng the democratic candidate for con gress , and jet had the assurance to ask ad mittance to a republican convention. The proof that they were umvoithy of admission to icpublican councils was so strong that the committee on credentials unanimously re ported in favor oC excluding them , and the convention , witliout a dlsscntlnc voice , ap proved their report. This removed the only chance for dissensions , and the convention liad nothing then to do but to go forward har moniously and enthusiastically. There was no contest over any nomination except that for state auditor. Three candi dates entered the convention , with about equal chances , for this oftlcc. 'Ihcso were Chairman Beardsley , of the state central committee , who wus acting auditor during Urovvn's Impeachment ; Hon. J. A. Lyons , of ( itithrlo county , member of the last two gen eral assemblies , and Mr. A. 1) . Peek , forsov- cial jearsauditor of Sac county. It was plain to bo seen when the contest beiran that tlio soldier sentiment was still very strong in Iowa. Captain Ljons was a very gallant member of the Sec- end Iowa cavalry , and was nearly shot to pieces by rebel bullets. His old army comrades over the state supported him very enthusiastically , and through their heir chlelly huvvas enabled to secure the nomina tion. On the lirst ballot there was but little diirerence between the votes of the three leading candidates. The second showed little change , but the third showed steady gains tor Lyons , and HeanNley's filends fell over to him ami nominated him. All ot the other candidates , Bin- eluding secretary of state. tieas- uicr. attorney general , clerk and reporter of thu supreme court , were reiioin- inated acclamation , they having had bill one term each. The convention brought out some remark- ablcdlsplav of oratoiy. as Iowa's conven tions usually do. First was the solid ami fiubstantlal Hpeech ot Senator Allison on national Issues. Ho spoke for more than an hour , during the warmest part of the day , but the vast audience listened with unbroken attention and showed bv frequent cheers tin enthusiasm which Ids speech created. II was n stiong and masterly pieseutatlon ol the republican Issues nnd w'dl be read in the campaign with wldo spicad inten'.st am wry bcnoliclal results. Colonel Hepburn who was the permanent chaiiman ot tin convention , made a short speech on taklnt the chair , which was clear , stiaiglit forwau nnd forcible , rousing the enthusiasm whicli his speeches always do , Mr. J. / ' , Oliver , of Fort Dodu'e , who Is one of tlu } ouug oratois whom thu state delights t < honor , was called out during an Interim ol thu proceedings and icspondcd in a speech 01 unusually hapio eiloct. Ho Is the epigram atlc joungoiatoi who made somanyspceche' in the cast dining the Hlaine campaign. Hh ciittlnf wit , ( -cathlnc sarcasm , bright and Ir resistible humor , kept the convention It roarh of laughter and applause that conh hardly bo terminated. Several of the noinl- uatlug speeches were also happy efforts , be that all in all thu convention oiatorywa1 quite up to the average ot an Iowa state con volition. The platfoim , which Is qulto lonir , coven very completely the main issues bnforo tin Iowa people. It was received with very yen- enU tavorand satisfaction , there being n < minority toport except In one point , that relating lating to thu temperance question. OIK member of the committee , J. J. Andrews , o tlio Fouith district , dcalred to have the reso lutlon on that subject made n llttlo stronger but the convention considered that the orlgl nal draft was siuftlclcmtly stiong and m mlontcd it as reported by the commlttci without a dissenting vote. At 0 o'clock the convention adjourned wltl tlio best of feeling and a general determina tion to makoihu comlii.- campaign the mos nguicsalv u and successful for many j ears , nr.rAii.s op IIIK VVOIIK.

The platform of the republicans ot tovva in state ronvontlon assembled togetherdee lares : 1. We renew our adhesion to the princi ples of icpubllcanlsm as enunciated In the republle-iii national platform ot lsj. . J. 'I he eighteen months just passed have * proven the uulHiiess of the democratic pait > lor national eontiol It promt < cd to mince ihp expenses ot the u'oYeinment. but It has Incieased , In tlio session just ended , the np- piopriutioiis by MVWO.OOO. It promised to advance civ II service reform. It undoes that promise by crippling the efllclfiicy ot the commission having that leforin In charge. It piomlsed that tlio espiessed will of the people ple should bo obeved. It iireH'uts a lecord of a larger number ot presidential vetoes In thu eight mouths of the congiesslonal session than has aggregated under all pre ceding administrations slnco our gov- einmcut was instituted. It promised the leductlon In thu uumburof govcinmentat officials. H presents , as a fullillment of such piomlse , an incicasoln the number ot gov ernment Piuplojes at Washington. It promised tarlll ictorin. It has proven Its In- iihlllty under the pressure of presidential and cabinet inlliifiice to airiee Uou ] such a muas- .iro. . much less pass it to enactment. It pie- idits .i spectacle of an admlnlstiatlou which tias utterly tailed to tedcein any ot the num erous pledges which the people were deceived Into plncini : it In power. 3. We declare the administration of Presi dent Cleveland to have justly merited the censure which It lecelved nt the hands of conuress In the passage , by over a two-thirds vote ot each tiranch of congress , of the reso lution compelllui : payment upon the Interest bearing debt of the Increasinc surplus In the treasuty Wo condemn the pocket veto by the piesideutas In violation of the expressed will of the people , and preventing its passage ovei an open veto , and we commend the action of the republican administration In applying the surplus to the lapld reduction ; ri the Indebtedness of the government. 4. We demand that the public domain , in cluding foi felted and tineained lands within the urants made to railroads and other corpo rations , shall be disposed of only to actual scttlcis In limited quantities piovlued b > law. We condemn the veto ot President Cleveland whereby congressional aid was ptevented for the relict of settlers on the lands known as the Des Moines river land crant , from cruel and oppressive vvroncs committed on those settlers , for which aid the legislatiue of Iowa had repeatedly and vigorously petitioned. We sincerely deplore the failure ot the dem ocratic lioiisf of representatives to pass over such veto this bill , which the republican pu- ate had alieady pissed over such veto. Wo condemn the neglect in action of the demo- ciatic house of representatives whereby the bill passed by the icpublican senate for the redemption of unearned lands within tlio limits of the Sioux CHv & St. Pauliailroad company nt the last session ot congress , We arc opposed to the acquisition of public lands , or any pait thereof , by non-rcsldeut aliens. 5. llesolvcd , That we arraign the demo cratic majority in the national house of reiv reseiitatlvcs for Its wanton desertion of the Interests of the i-roduceisof the northwest , asillu tiateil in their icfusal to aid them by meetlni : the questions and controversies be tween the common carriers and shippers of tlio country by the prompt passace of the bill passed by the senate , known as the Cutlom Dill , the substantial declarations of which WG reconni/o as being In harmony witli the dec larations ot the republican state convention of Iowa at its last session , and the joint reso lution of instructions to our congressional delccation , passed by the tvventy-lirst general assembly of this state , and as oirering a de gree ot relief not afforded by any other pro posed legislation. 0. To the people of our adjacent territory , Dakota , we extend the assutanccof our co operation and support in their efforts for ad mission to the sisterhood of states , and we respectfully but earnestly urge our senators and repiesentatlves in congress to continue to labor to the best of their ability and power to secure for Dakota territory the place to which hoi population , Imlnstiy and Intelligence entitles her as a state in the American union ; and we arraign the demo cratic party for its unjust and democratic and blttcily sectional hostility to tlio admis sion of the teriitory of Dakota as u sister state. 7. Time does not bar the claim of tlio sol diers who subdued the icbclllon nor the grat itude and justlcoof the country toward them. Therefoie , wo demand such modification of the pension laws and the passage of such others as shall sccnie equal treatment to all soldieis entitled to pensions , by commencing payment fiom the date of disability , and granting pensions to all soldiers as an ; dis abled from securing suppoit by their own labor , vvitliout reference to the date when such disability occurred ; and we condemn the present dcmociatic administration for vetoing pension bills passed by congress for the relief ot such soldiers , their widows and 01 phans , and for tlio removal of union sol dieis and appointing rebel soldieis and sym pathies in their stead ; and wearo In favor of the mss.tge of a law granting pensions to all soldiers of the Mexican war who are not laboru ! < : under political disability. b. We tlenounco the abuses of the elec.tlvo piivllego which , In the southern section of our country and In many cities ot the north , continue to make elections u mockery and delusion , and the fraud and suppression which continually defeat thn popular will and prevent ialrand proper representation ; and wo insist upon the right of every Ameri can cltl/en to fteely cast his ballot and to have the same honestly counted and truly declared , tl. The republican party , standing for that pilnclplo of equal cltUenshlp to which Is duo the superiority of this ovei all other actions , and recoirni/.lng tlio necessity of protecting against the aggression of capital , heartily en dorses evpr > legitimate effort of organl/.ed labor to secure equal and exact justice be tween labor and capital. 10. Wo demand protection for American labor against competition with pauper labor abroad and against the product ot convici and imported contract labor at home. 11. The republican paity of Iowa , ever sympathetic with the just ampliations of u nation for freedom , and < 'ratofully niiiidfu of the faithful services of tlio Irishmen of this icpubllc. heartily sympathise with the people of Ireland in their efforts for thu re covery of a homo legislature ; that vvoexteni ! to William K. Gladstone and Charles Stuvv- art Painell congratulations on their grand achievements ol the recent past , and IIOIKI that the immediate future will crown their etToits with their full mcasuie of success. I' ' . That the laws lor the suppression of Intemperance were enacted as n part of the general legislation of our state In obedience to the will of the majority ; that wn behold vv ith alarm the continued efforts of the demo cratlo party of Iowa to encourage resistance to tlutse law sand to Inllamo the passions ol the lawless classts In regard to them , thereby menacing social order and leading to thu pprpetratlon of murder nnd other outrages. While fully recognizing the right of the l > eoplo to agitate for the repeal of these 01 any other laws which time may prove in effectual for the beneficiary purpose of their enactment , we insist that thee laws and al other laws of this state shall be faithful ! ) and fearlessly cnfont'd. 1H , We declare It to bo the duty of all public olliclals to honestly and conscientious ! } gnaid the public treasury against nil Imprope * 01 unauthorized drafts from whatever dlrec tlon , and that no ollicial Is or can bojustl lied in drawing or accepting salaries as fees tint-allied by him , or to which ho Is not en titled.

It Is learned that bherman will tot aiilvc In time to pciform the duties of chalrmin. deneial Kolfcr. from the rommlttce on resolutions , made a icport. It condemns tlio Ipmocratic party for Involving the United states In a quarrel w ith a sister republic , Mexico , when arbitration was at liana ; con- lemns the removal of old soldiers tiom oillcc on the ground ot offensive paitlsaiiRhip , as alleged ; endorses thu present general as sembly in providing a state homo for dls- iblcd nldiorsof the aate , and nUo making Ilieral appropriations for their cnie. nnd con- lemns the wholesale veto ot pension bills In lit'interest of soldiers by the president.

Tattan ; memb'T ot the boaid of public works , W. M. Halm. TIIK ri.ATroiiM. The platform declaies : . 1. That the democratic administration of Cleveland lias tailed to keep the plcdi'cs upon which It came into power. It promised rcticnchmcut and economy , but has been the most extravagant ever known. It promised to uphold the dignity and honor ot the IP- iiiibiic and motect American citUens and their lights ot pcison and piopcitj , both at home and abroad , but lias proven iUsclt In capable of seem lin : the honorable adjustment of the lisheriesquestion , and witli seeming Indltfcrcncc has subjected us to the humil iation of seeing our tlac Insulted and the vessels of our cltl/ens conuscatcd by the authorities of Canada ; while , with rasli haste nnd blundering , it has involved us in unjustifiable complications with our friendly neighbor and sister republic , Mexico a. fact which seriously calls attention to the icpublican national arbitration for international ( infer ences , and to the importance of the recent action ot the senate ot the United States in unanimously passing a bill for a congress of the American nations in the interest of peace and commerce. It promised civil sen Ice re form , but has made that phrase odious by not only rcmovinc , but attempting to blacken the character of thousands ot our best citi zens , many of them old soldiers , who have been removed from ollicial positions upon thccowaidly subterfuge ot ' offensive parti sanship. " We reaffirm that to the Union soldiers and sailors of the late war we owe a debt that can not bo computed , and it is the duty ot thegoveinment to giant pensions and estab lish homes for all such as are disabled or In want. We condemn the heartless and whole sale vetoes by Piesident Cleveland of the private pension bills recently passed by con- glPsS. Wo believe in the republican doctrine of taritf , not only for revenue , but also for the protection and development of American labor. We demand in behalf of the great wool glowing interests of our state the re storation of the wool tariff of IMVI. and de nounce the recent attempt of the democratic majority In the national house of representa tives to pass the Moinson bill , reducing the tariff duties and placing wool on the tree list. The republican party has ever stood as the friend ot labor against all who would either oppicss or enslave it , and every measure , state or national , which will protect the laborer from dangerous foreign competition , or impiovc and dignify his condition at home , will meet our unqualilicd approval. We are unservlng In our hostlllt ) to an archism , socialism nnd communism. We favor such wis < > legislation as may insure har mony , which ought alvvavsto prcvallbctwcen the employer and employe. We recognize the right of ail men by association to promote tholr mutual good and protection in every way that does not Infringe upon the rights of others. Wo favor the cicatlon by congress of a national department of labor , the head of which shall be a cabinet oflicer , whose duty it shall be to collect , sjstematUe and publish statistical Information relating to the social , sanitary , educational and commercial condi tion of the workinirmen ol the nation. We demand that all officials , state or national , charged with the duty of enforcing the liws which provide for the proper security of the lives and health ot woikingmen , sluill be practical men. ' The United States senate , in refusing to order an Investigation of the means by which a seat In that body wns procuied by Henry 13. Payne , has disappointed the just and reasonable enable expectations of the people 01 Ohio. The eighth resolution Is as follows : FavorIng - Ing , as we do , every legitimate and constitu tional means for diminishing or eradicating tlio evils resulting from the tiaftlc in Intoxi cating Illinois , nnd recommending such legis lation as will keep abieast with enlightened public sentiment on this question , wo com mend the Dow law as a wise and practical measure tending to that end. The republicans ot Ohio relolce In the pro gress of the cause of homo rule for Ireland , and send cheer and greeting to Uladstuue and Parnell witli the hope that the struggle they are making mar be ei owned with success. We at thu same tlmo commend lie ) wisdom ot these national leaders In declaring that only u native parliament can properly pro tect and foster native Industries which have so long laid paralysed under the pernicious iullnenccs of the prevailing free tiado s > s- tcm and doctrines. In common with all the loyal people of this land wo mourn the loss tooui country of that great republican as well as gicat soldier nnd statesman , Ulysse.sS. ( Jrant. The remainder of the resolutions relate to state nlfnlis. Illinois Democrats Gathering. Si'WNOFiKi.D , III. , August 2. > .

The Sun says ) : "Untsofai as lllalne's first speech In the Maine canvass shows he retains the same disposition to Iocali7o the prohibitionist issue as he mani fested tw o > ears ago vv hen ho neglected to vote either ye.s or no on the piohlbltory amendment to the Maine constitution , ills able addicss at Sebago tieats on the tariff question , the labor question , thu fishery dis pute mid the Mexican complication fiom a national point of view , ills remarks on prohibition may bo read am. ) read again without discovering a principle or an Idea designated for applica tion south of latitude 4'5 degress or we t of the Pescataugna river. Hlainu has promised to speak ten or a docn times more during the present campaign. He rarely repeats himself. Perhaps he may be preserving until a later date the positive expression of those broader views on prohibition which every body is waiting so impatiently to hear. " The Herald s.i > s : "As the speech was in tended for tiie nation rather than the state of Maine , and for future rather than present ends , the failure of the speaker to deal v\ith other issues that are likely to bo more lively mid important than these treated by him will be gencially remaiked. Its readers will also baldly fail to notice that yesteiday's effort at Sobairo Lake is tamer and less clfectlve than might have been expected from the plumed knight. " Tne Tribune sayai "On all topics of the day Mr. IJIame dpaalts with candor , vigor , sound judgment and excellent taste. " The Times says : ' 'Throughout the long ad dress , which is a very fair mid n very dull one , the speaker's mind has plainly been di rected not so much as to what he should say us to what he should leave unsild. Uy this means he has succeeded In disappointing those , whether friendly or hostile , who ex pected a brilliant oration , charged with , the personality of tlio ox-candidate. " The World bays : "At Sebago Lake yester day Hlaine delivered bis first speed ) in the Maine campaign. It mav be said to be , as a matter of fact , tlmoponing sun of the cam paign for lbs.s , for nobody doubts that Ulalnc is in the field astun for n presidentiaj'renau- ) illation.

" Blntno's Second Speech. XOIITII UEIIWICK , Me. , August 23. Blaine made his second speech ot the campaign here to day. He twitted the prohibitionists ot inconsistency and Ingratitude toward the rcpuollcan party which had given the state all the prohibitive legislation it ever had. The prohlbltibnlsts did not ex pect to elect anybody of their own party. They could only dcteat the republicans. Passing to the fisheries question Blalue said : "Canada is In n very peculiar position. She wants to enjoy the pride mid sentiment of bclonglm : to tlio Itritlsli empire and to pocket the piollt and advantage of having nn American market at the .same time. We don't think that fair.
