Dispatches,
Delayed Special to the News.
Chicago, Jane 21. —After the adop
tion of the platform and patting can
didates in nomination,tbeBepablican
convention adjourned until eleven
o'clock tomorrow morning.
Eight candidates were presented,
as follows: Allison, of Iowa; Alger,
Michigan; Depew, of New York;
Gresham, of Illiaois; Harrison, of
Indiana; Sherman, of Ohio; Bask, of
Wiscons ; n- Hawley, of Conuecticat;
and Fitler, of Philadelphia.
THE PLATFOEM.
The platform was read by Congress
man McKinley, of Ohio, one of the
strongest protectionists in the Bepab
lican party and chairman of the com
mittee on resolutions, and is a thor*.
ongh endorsement of his views. Un
like tho terse and vigorous express
ions of tbe Democratic platform, it is
very long and can only be synopsis
ed by papers whose space is value
ble.
It first hails Lincoln as the cham
pion of liberty and recalls the names
Grant, Garfield, Arthur, Logan and
Conkling as those which should be
cherished- pays a tribute to Sheridan:
rejoices and sends greeting to
people of Brazil upon the abolition
of slavery, hopes for the peaceful re
covery of home rule for Ireland.
The bloody shirt and tariff planks
being the most important, and the
ones upon which the campaign will
be fought, we give them in full:
THE BALLOT.
“We reaffirm our unswerving devo
tion to the national constitution and
the indissoluble union of States, to
the autonomy reserved to the States
under the constitution: to the person
al rights and liberties of citizens in
all the States and Territories in the
Union, and especially to the supreme
and sovereign right of every lawful
citizen, rich or poor, native or foreign
er, white or black, to cast one free
ballot in public elections and to have
that ballot duly counted. We hold
a free and honest popular ballot and
a just and equal representation of all
the people to bo the foundation of
our republiaan goverment, and de
mand effective legislation to secure
integrity and purity of elections,
which are the fountians of all public
authority. We charge that the pres
ent administration and the Democrat
ic majority in Congress owe their
existence to suppressions of the bal
lot by criminal nullification of the
constitution and laws of the United
States.
THE TARIFF.
“We are uncompromisingly in fa
vor of the American system of protec
tion, and wo protest aga.ast its des
traction a6 proposed by tbePresident
and his party. They serve the inter
eats of Europe; we will support the
interest of America, We accept thn
issue aud confidently appeal to. the
people for their judgment. The pro
teotive system must be maintained.
Its abandonment has always been fol
Inwed by goneral disaster to all in-
tersts except those of the usurer.
We denounce the Mills bill as des
tractive to tbe general business, la
bor and farming interests of the
country, and we heartily indorse the
consistent and patriotic action of the
Republican representatives in Con
grew in opposing its passage. Ws
condemn tbe propoeition of theDem
ecratic parly to place wool on the
free list, and we insist that the dnties
thereon shall be adjusted and main
tlined so as to famish fall and ad
equate protection to that industry.
“The Republican party would of
feet all needed redaction of tbe nat
krnal revenue by repealing tbe taxes
upon tobacco, which are an annoy
ance and a burden to agricnltore.and
the taxon spirits used in tbearts&nd
for mechanical purposes, and by
such a revision of tbe tariff laws as
well tend to check imports of such
articles as are produced by our peo
pie, tbo production of which gives
employment to oar labor, and release
from import duties those articles of
foreign production, except luxuries,
which cannot be produced at Lome.If
there shall still remain slsrger reven
ue than is requisite for the want of
tbe government, we favor the enlire
repeal of the internal revenue laws,
rather than surrender any part of our
protective system at tbe joint behest
of the whiskey trust and the agents
of foreign manufactrers. *
“We declare our hostility to the in
trouctioninto this country of foreign
contruct labor and Chinese labor,
alien to our civilization and our con
stitution. and we demand the rigid
enforcement of existing laws against
it. and favor such immediate legisla
tion as well exclude such labor from
our shores.
“Wo declare our opposition to all
combinations of oopital, organized in
trusts or otherwise to arbitrarily con
trol the conditions of trade among
our citizens, and wc recommend to
Congess rad State legislatures, in
their respective jurisdictions, such
legislation as well prevent tho excu
tion of all schemes to oppress the
people by undue charge ou their sup
plies, or by,unjust rates for tbe tran
sportotion of their products to mark
1 et.
‘We approve legislation by Con
gross to prevent alike unjuBt burdens
anfi unfair discrimination in oom
meice between the States.”
The platform reaffirms tho policy
of appropriating the public lands of
the United States to be homesteads
for American settlers; demands the
immediate admission of South
Dakota, and tbe admission of the
other territories as soon as possible;
denounces the Mormons: favors tbe
use of both gold aud silver money;
demands one cent letter postage;
favors State and national aid to
schools; recommends rehabilitation of
our merchant marine, but protests
against the passage of a free ship
bill; demands appropriations for the
navy, for coast defences, for the pay
ment of pensions, for rivers and
harbors, for encouragement of our
shipping interests and for payment
of tho public debt; denounces the con
duot of ali the foreign affairs of tho
present administration; arraigns tbe
administration for its treatment of the
fisheries question; declares that the
Democratic party has broken its
of civil service reform, and
its own pledges of 1884;
and closes with the following plea for
UNLIMITED PENSIONS.
“The gratitude of the nation to the
of the Union cannot be
measured by laws. Congress should
to the pledge made bya loyal
aud the laws be so enlarged
extended as to provide against

WONDERFUL FERFOMAN CE.
By the Steen -Renclere Company at-
Patterson’s Hall Last Evening,
There was a very good audience
assembled at Patterson^ Hall last
night to witness the interesting enter
a in ment of the Steen Rouclere Com
pany and to say that they were mysti
fied and pleased would be telling the
exact truth. A committee of six
of our prominent citizens were select
ed by the audience 1 to see that every
thing was conducted fairly and
squarely, and remained upon the
stage during the entire part of the
programme. The marvelous Steens,
Prof. Chas. M. and Martha, opened
with their remarkable act of mental
telegraphy, mind reading, spiritual
communications, second sight see¬
ing, etc. A number of people were
told the exact date of their birth,
what they were thinking of and many
other things connected with their
history which caused them much snr
prise. To night they introduce tbe
materialization of spirit forms, spirit i
tappings and also will tbe ‘
expose
tricks of the so called mediums.
Mr?. Steen can indeed be called
the “worlds mystery‘ and onr citi
zen? ;ire puzzling their brains as to
how she accomplishes these almost
supernatural feats. Tbe blood writ¬
ing test of last night was one of the
finest things on tbe pragramme and
one of our prominent doctors ex¬
claimed that his ‘‘satanic majesty 4 *
mast certainly have something to do
with the accomplishment of it. A
pleasing finish to this fine entertain
ment was the act of the prince of
jagglers Hiiry Rouclere. There is
noting tiresome about this part of
theperformance and the deftness and
agility with wiich be handles bottler,
knives, cigar boxes, blocks and plate,
is redly remarkable. He is exce. ..
ingly graceful and merited tbe np
plauso bestowed apon him.
We bespeak a packed bouse to¬
night at this is their last appearance
here this season and it would be wii«
to have your teats marked and check
ed at tbe nsual place witboot extra
charge.

CHALLENGE DECLINED.
Mr. Weaver Gives the RepaMleaat a
Chance To Disease aa Du*
question.
Wash nston,. J une 22. — (Special.)
■The Republicans in tbe House to
day declined a challenge which was
given them by tbe other side and
declined it in a burry. Both aides
had been pitching into each other**
record in dealing with railroads and
with tbe public lands. Weaver, of
lows, was making a speech, when be
was interrupted by a Republican
member who cried oat, “One of year
leaders, Mr. Scott, is a railroad mono
polist!“
“The man,“ answer i Weaver,
“fled to Canada to er *r ppearing
before a Congressioti.. . . .. stigaiing
committee." It was right there the!
tbe Republicans stopped. They did
not follow up tbe lead opened to
them and fora very good reason.
Weaver, in hia retort referred to
Thurston, of Nebraska, tbe Tempor
ary Chairman of the Republican Con
vention now in session in Chicago .
Thurston was one of the lieutenants
of Foppletou, of the Union Pacific,
and was by him sent to Lincoln to
boy up the Nebraska Legislature, in
order to receive from it the legisla
tion which the Union Pacific Com¬
pany wanted. He sucessfttliy per
formed his mission. The matter was
afterwards tbe object of a congress
ional investigation. Thurston was
subpoenaed to appear before the ocas
mittee, but did not. In order topre
yent tbe summons to appear bring
served upon him, he skipped to Cane
da and remained there until the in
vestigation closed. This is why the
Republicans shied when Weaver
made his apparently innocent remark
about journeying to Canada.
