Yesterday ticket-peddlers sold good seats in the convention, at Chicago, at $lO apiece. The republican platform adopted by the Chicago convention favors chep grog and cheap tobacco, and high prices on the necessaries of life. The republican platform declares that it is the duty of the hard-handed sons of toil to pay tribute money to the monopolies of the land. Committeeman Clarkson and Serge ant-at-Arms FitzSimons, of the Chicago convention, came to blows yesterday. Republicans are getting belligerent. Mahone and Wire, delegates from Virginia to the Chicago convention, had a disgraceful knock down in the, presence of the committee on credentials. Other delegates, black and white, got mixed up in the row. A policeman put a stop to it. ' - The democratic party has revised the improvident and unwise policy of the republican party touching the public domain, and has reclaimed from corporations and syndicates, alien and domestic, nearly one hundred millions of acres of valuable land to be sacredly held as homesteads for our citizens.- National Democratic Platform. 1

Odd! —A citizen started in on the lengthy “leader” i + he 'Dem ocrat!’ but before he ge t half t'uro thought he had read it, or something like it, recently Odd! • - * -—♦ -e •► • In his oration at S'. Louis, Mr. Dougherty put a large size of truth in useable shape when lie said: “To lower the tariff i uot free trade, it is to reduce the unjust profits of monopolists and bo s manufacturers end allow cum-um-ers to retain the rest. The man who asserts that to lower the taw IT means free trade insults intelligence We brand him as a falsifier. It is furthest from thought to imperil capital or disturb enterprises The aim i.-> to uphold wages and protect the rights of ail.”

On the day following the jubi '■ee held over the election of Cleveland end Hendricks. Horace E. James, then republican postma - ;er, wrote on his bullet, u board: “The vandalism committed last night are the legitimate, organized, deliberate insults of Democracy for Reform.” In the interest of Reform th • Democracy of Jasper County de iiborately, wantonly insult every soldier who lost a leg or arm, or who was wounded the line pf duty in defence of the Union.” There is out one thoi’ovgbored’ full blooded, stalwart, staunchprincipled, clear-ringing, clarion toned Rer.ublican newspaper published in Rensselaer; with political doctrines so clearly defined, so prominent and so symmetrical as not to need a label to (listing!’.]’ b them,and that paper is The Message—June 30, lob h The writer of the above choice morsels desires, bodv, soul and material, to be unloaded in the democratic camp, through the Trade Agency of Farm Wright, of equal “Stalwart” claims, under the ponderous hulk of Jno. W. Sickels.

“You Tickle Me, and I’ll Tickle You,” seems to be the policy governing the intercourse between Bro. Sickels and our dear friend Mike Halloran. Mike has given out: “There wuz a. toime when McEwen moight have gone out of this town with two thousand dollars in his pocket, but he would not. Now we’H break him down and droive him out without a domned cint!” The above tickled Sickels, and he in turn tickles Mike tbusly: * “He thinks that the election of the democratic national ticket this fall will insure to the country a long term of commercial prosperity, and he expects that the Democrat will start a boom for Rensselaer that will thoroughly shake up some of “the dry bones in the valley,” to use an expression which seems to be a favorite with him.” Mike will be for “condmercial prosperity,” and a “boom for Rensselaer,” provided they advance his interests, without refererence to the party that ‘ will iusure” the one or the paper that “will start” the other.

Mike and Sickels seem to be equally posted as to their status in the Democratic party: Let us see; it was Mike, we 1 elieve, who got out circulars and traversed this senatorial d’strict with the declared purpose of defeating Fred Hoover. In this strong republican district, however, Fred was elected in spite of the combined powers—the reuub lican party and Mike’s influence.— Mike has been a frequent “kicker.” We believe it was Bro. Sickels who, to explain his political acrobatic pro ’ess, boasted that in his time he “had been employed on republican and democratic papers —when in Rome 1 do as Rome does. ” In their adhesion to party Mike and Sickels and James—the real editor and publisher of the paper erected over the remains of the defunct Message—are equals.

The late republican Message appeared ester ’ay, same editor and publisher, bearing the n me: “The Rensselaer Democrat” A three weeks effort has been made to resuscitate it and it 100 s much the worse for the wear. It’s outlook is anything but encouraging. - -♦ ♦ - Newton Township Items. Generally speaking, health is very good. Owing ti our late rain and very warm weather corn i doing exceptionally well, and the farmers are getting in some good work. Mrs. 8. B. Moiiltt, of Fair Oaks, is visiting W. L. Bringle’s family and friends of her former neighborhood. The new dwelling house of M s. Bowman is progressing finely, and " ill soon be ready for its occu pants. Childrens’ Day was observed with appropriate exercises and decorations at the Saylorville school house. Pea Ridge S. S. assisted S. S in the elercises. Rev B. F. '•' i gusoD and others were there. Under the superintendency of Hain Suyler the programme was well arranged and handsomely carri-d out. Plenty of baskets on the ground, and it is needless to -ay that gi*»v were well filled with deheious foods of al! kinds. Can’t some one give the Republican editor a ‘pointer’ so that he may be able to print something about the next Vice President, Ko .A G. Thurman? Mori is Thomas is improving bis farm by getting in a large amount o f tiling. Ed. Griggs is superinten ling the work. We are informed that Morris is going to put a nev, outfit in the threshing line in the field this fall.
