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 tlje possibility of any man who hon¬ wore the Federal uniform become an inmate oi an or dependent upon private In the presence of an over treasury it wculd be be a pub scandal to do less for these who served to preserve the We denounce tbe spirit shown by bis numerous vetoes of measures for pensions, and the action of Democratic represents tires in refusing even a consideration general pension legislation. “In support of tbe principles here enumerated we invite tbe co¬ of patrotic men of all and especially of all working whose prosperity is seriously by tbe free trade policy of present administration.” Are you weak and weary, overworked and Hood’i Seraaparilla U Jast the medi¬ to purify your blood and give (?) jam I FRESH MELONS am KOLB GEM 1 Fresh Fish.

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. NUMBER 189 •mm HHSW-V-- 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. POWDER Absolutely Pure.
