THE PLATFORM. . The llon. Richard W. Thompson, chairman of the committee on resolutions, submitted the platform, remarking that the committee had spent seven hours in consideration of the questions suggestedl as needing expression, with the following result: The Republican party appeals with pride and confidence to its past history, in proof of fidelity to its principles and its consistent discharge of duty to the country, in peace and war. These principles, and the measures growing out of them; have Deen stamped with public approval. Thére is no taint,of suspigion now resting upon its honor as a party. It has so conducted public affairs that, at the last Presidential election, one of the ablest and most earnest defenders of its policy was accepted as the Democratic candidate for the Presidency—thereby leaving that party no other hope of future success than may be found in a return to its original and abandoned organization, or in negative hostility te measures it has solemnly approved. It recognizes the fact that diversities.of public opinion will ex- | ist-in reference to details of public’ policy, and does not seek or expect precise agreement among its members in all such details. Unity in fundamental prin¢iples is all that can reasonably be expected in a country like ours, where the people are capable of intelligent thought. Unlike the democratic party, it lays no claim to politichl infallibility. ~But it. does claim that it has shown itself 'both ready and competent to resist every form of’ wrong and oppression—to restrain injustice, te remove the public ills when 1 they are known to exist, to condemn. the’conduct of faithless and dishonest agents, and to detect and expose. abuses in the &dministration of gov- ‘ ernment, even when practiced by its professed supportérs.. It has nev&r‘ failed in the work of reform, when shown to be necessary. No offender, | detected in corruption, has escaped its condemnation, no matter what party services he may have rendered. It has never endeavored to defeat’the public will, but regard’s(the people, and not mere party organizations; as the primary .source of all political power. By Credit Mobilier investigation, its repeal of the “salary grab,”. saw the abolition of the eorrupting moiety system, and of the Sanborn contract, it has shown how readily it pays obedience to the public judgment{ By its searchjng investigatiqn into' abusep in the District of. Columbia, and its prompt condemnation of administrative officers, it has demonstrated its unabated hostility to the demoralizing doctrine that *“to the, victors belong the spoils; of office.” And having thus secured a record which defies impeachment, and bro’t the country i%lto its present condition of peace and prosperity by measures which no party is reckless enough to assail, it has left no practical differences to settle except upon mere questions of administrative policy. And yet it is a progressive party —wedded to no class and the especial interests of no class—but, as the party of the people, it suits its policy to each step. in the progress of those developmentst whic}}; mark the advanecing eras of our prosperity. e '

- The.Republicans of Indiana, therefore, assembled in State Convention, do hereby declare their unchangable determination to adhere to all the fundamental principles of the republican party, ir§l so far as the.future condition of the country shall require their enforcement. - _ ' 1. As the Union remains unbroken, and the people of all sections are again bound together as brethren by a common destiny and under a common flag, we favor such measures as shall develop the material resources of every portion of it; secure to all, of every class and condition, full protection in all the just rights of person and property; remove all the acerbities of the past, and perpetuate the nation as the “Model Republie” of the world. 2. We recognize that as the true policy of government which shall harmonize all the diversified interests ‘and pursuits necessarily existing in a country: of such vast extent as ours; and as this can be done only by so directin% legislation as to secure just ~protection and reward to every branch

of industry, we are in favor of giving precedence to those measures which shall recognize agricultural and mechanical pursuits as entitled to 'the amplest protection and the fullest development; of putting a stop to large grants of the public domafn to rail-road-corporations, and reserving it for settlement and cultivation; of improving the navigation of our great inland rivers; of securing cheap transportation and profitable markets for the products of agricultural and manufacturing labor; of encouraging stich manufacturies as shall bring the producer and consumer in the neighborhood of each other, and thus to establish mntual relations between them and those engaged in commerce and transportation; of properly adjusting the relations between capital and labor in order that each may receive a just and equitable share of profits, and of holding those in the possession of corporate wealth and privileges in strict conformity to law, so that by these combined influences the people of all the varied pursuits may be united together in the common purpose of preserving the honor of the ‘nation, of developing .the immense resources of every section of the Union, and of advancing the social and material. prosperity of all its indtstrial and laboring classes. . 3. We are in favor of such legislation on the question of finances as shall make national banking free; as shall furnish the country with such an additional amount of currency as may be necessary to meet the 'wants of the agriculfural, industrial and commercial interests of the:country—to be distributed between the seetions according to population--and such as, consistent with the credit-and honor of the nation, will avoid the possibility of permitting capitalists and combinations of capital from controlling the currency of the country.

4. We are in favor of such a revision of our patent right laws as shall destroy the oppressive monopoly incident to the present system, and shall regulate and control the manufacture, use and sale of patent right articles, for the benefit alike of the inventor, consuiner and manufacturer. L 5. That the republican party -continues to express its gratitude to the soldiers and sailors of the Republic for the patriotism, courage and selfsacrifice with which they gave themselves 'to the preservation of the country during the late civil war; and will especially recognize the services of the enlisted men, by favoring the extention from time to time, as the ability of -the government will permit, of the pension and bounty laws. 6. In thé opinion of this convention intemperance is an evil against which society has a right to protect itself; that our whole system of legislation throughout all the history of the State has asserted and maintained this right, and it cannot now Dbe surrendered without yielding up that fundamental prineiple of American government whieh places the power of passing laws'in the hands of a majority; therefore, we are in favor of such legislation as will give a majority of the people the right to determine for themsizl.ves. in‘their respective towns, townships or wards, whether the sale of intoxicating liquors for use as a beverage shall be permitted therein, and such as will hold the vendor responsible for all damages resulting from such sale. : ‘ .

7. We favor the enactment of a law limiting the power of township trustees, county commissioners, and municipal authorities to assess taxes, and increase township, county and muniecipal indebtedness. 8. Inasmuech as great abuses{ have rown up under our present system gf fees and salaries, we demand such '§egislation as will so reduce and reguate all fees and salaries as will allow no more than a fair and just compensation for services rendered.

9. We look with pride and satisfaction upon our common school system, and regard its munificent fund as a sacred trust to be faithfully and honestly administered, so that all the children of the State may be educated in the duties of citizenship, and thereby become the bétter able to perpetuate our popular institutions; and whosoever shall seek to strike it down, or to impair its usefulness, will meet our ceaseless and unrelenting opposition.

10. We have entire confidence in the President of the United States; and our Senators and Republican representatives in Congress are entitled to our thanks for the zeal with which they have tepresented the prineiples of the Republican party during the present session of Congress; and the Republicans of Indiana view with especial pride and hearty approval the course of Senators O. P. Morton and R. D. Pratt, and the fidelity and ability which they have represented the sentiments of the people of this State. - Hon Lon. Sexton moved that the report be adopted, which was carried with a whirl, and then ratified wilth three rousing cheers. .

THE CANDIDATES. . . The Journal gives the nominees of !the convention the following flattering certificate of character: . - Of all the nominees of the Convention save the Superintendent of Public Instruction, it is unnecessary for lus tospeak. They are men well known ‘throughout the State, as honest, faithful and capable Republicans who have been tried and not found wanting.— ‘Prof. John M. Bloss, the candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction, is not so well known and needs a little

introduction at the hands of the Jowusrnal. John M. Bloss is a native Hoosier and is a descendan?,of Hoosiers.— His grandfather, John MecKnight, came to Washington county, Indiana, in 1809, and his grandfather, Dorman Bloss, settled in Jackson county in 1817. Mr. Bloss was born in Washington county in the year of 1839 and consequently is 35 years of age. He graduated in the régular course from Hanover College with the class of 1860 and immediately began the practice of his chosen profession, teaching. In 1861 he entered tlie army, enlisting in the 27th Regiment, and served through the-entire war. After leaving the army he took a full course of lectures at the Ohio Medical College. In 1866 he began teaching ggain, as principal of the Orleans Academy. This position he held for four years, during three of which he was also Examiner of Orange county. In 1870 he was-called to take charge of the public schools of New Albany, and has satisfactorily filled the position ever since. T Mr. Bloss has a fine, scholarly appearance, in stature is erect and commanding, and he inspires confidence in all with whom he comes in contact.— ITe will prove a worthy compeer of the other members of the ticket, and his nomination by the convention is a guaranty of his/ qualifications for the oflice. .

Dr. Singrey, of Albion, and Mr. John Lewis, of Morrow county, Ohio paid us a pleasant visit to-day. Time passes very fast in company with Deacon Lewis. ] : ' | - I see some of your correspondents mention the name of J. B. Smith as a candidate for county Clerk. DBeing well acquainted with him for some time, we think a better choice could not be made,as he isin every way qualified, a good citizen, fine scholar and agentleman inevery sense of the word, honest and upright in all his dealings.

sSee Deuteranomy, Chap. xii, Verse 23. The blood being the source from which our systems are built up and from ‘which we derive our mental as well as our pliysical capabilities, how important that it should be kept pure. 1f it contains| vile festering poisons all organic functions are weakened thereby. Settling upon important organs, as the lungs, liver or kidneys, the effect is most disastrous. Hence it behooves every one to keep their blood in a perfectly healthy condition and more especially does this apply at this particular season of the year than any other. No matter what the exciling cause may be, the real cause of a large proportign of all diseases is bad blood. Now Dri‘]Pierce does not wish.to place his Golden, Medical Discovery in the catalogue of quack patent medicines by recommending it to cure every disease, nor does he so recommend it, on the contrary, there are hundreds .of diseases that he acknowledges it will not cure; but what he does claim is this, that there.is-but one form 'of blood diseases that it will not cure, and that disease is cancer. He does not recommend his Discovery for that disease, yet he knows it to be the most searching blood cleanser yet discovered, and that it will free the blood and system of all other known blood poisons, be they animal, vegetable or mineral. The Golden Discovery is warranted by hima to cure the worst forms of skin diseases, as all forms of Rlotches, Pimples and Eruptions, also all Glandular Swellings, and the worst forms of Scrofulous and Ulcerated Sores of Neck, Legs or-other parts, and all Scrofulous diseases of the Bones, as White Swellings, Fever Sores, Hip Joint and Spinal Diseases, all O%Which belong to Scrofulous Disecases® o .

"HIP JOINT DISEASE CURED. > W. GrpVE STATION, lA, July 14, 1872, Dr. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y..—My wife first became lame nine years ago. Swellings would appear and disappear on her hip, and she was gradually becoming reduced, and her whole system rotten with disease. In 1871 a swelling broke on her hip discharging large quantities, and since that time there are several .openings. Have had five doctors at an expense of $125, who say nothing will /do any good but a surgical operation; B ' July 16th, 1873, he writes thus: My wife has certainly received a great benefit from the use of your Discovery, for she was not able to get oft the bed and was not expected to live a week when she commenced using it, a year ago. She has been doing most of her work for cver six months. Has used twenty bottles and is still using it.— Her recovery is considered as almost a miracle, and we attribute it all to the use of your vsd\‘l.uable medicine. I can’ cheerfully recommend it as a blood purifier and strength restorer. : ! J. M. ROBINSON.

How a Girl Helps to Clean House. She is perfectly willing to help, she tells ‘her mother she would just as leave stay at home a week as not, and informs her teacher, with a semi-tri-umphant air that she has to stay at home next week and help clean house. ~The carpets are taken up first, and that girl, delicately reared though she be, bravely sits down in the middle of the floor, and reads the paper while her mother and hired girl take out-the tacks and make franticefforts.to use the same form of prayer that the hg'ad of the house uses when his boots don’t ‘come on easy in the morning. =~ - The carpet is rolled up and taken into the back yard.and hung on the clothesline to be dusted. Now, that girl comes out strong, and shows the latent energy that is her’s. ‘She siezes an old- broom and starts toward that swinging carpet with an air of determination. On her way she spies her friend Kate passing, and. goes off to the side fence to talk about an hour and a half—well, about whatever girls do talk about undér the same circumstances; then she goes into the house and eats her dinner, and coriplains of being tired. i TEiGeT

In the afternoon she begins dusting and arranging the books in the bookcase. She finds: pretty soon, one of Quida’s novels, and she sits down on the floor to read, while the ink, from a bottle she knocks over when she throws her duster . on the table, runs .all over the-parlor curtain stuffed unider the chair near by.. Her mother lsees her,and sends-her into the parlor to gather up her music ready for tomorrow’s campaign. She gets along well enough with finger exercises and marches, but I§l‘es6ntly> she. comes across, “Don’t be angpy with me darling,” that Robert" gave her last week, and begins to hum if. She opens the piano to find the key mnote, to be certain she can take the high note nicely, and begins to sing. It don’t sound well without the accompaniment that Robert thought so sweet, so she sits down and begins to play.. While she is practicing Robert comes along. “He hears her. He enters. She stops. ‘He wants to hear that'sweet song. She is too hoarse. She could not think of singing with her hair tied up in a towel—but she does. -~ . 5= Lo Robert sighs “as the song ends, and she proposes a game of ecroquet.— They go out and play croquet - until téa time. )/ e e

Taif, Fsq.; captured a number of potato bugs and putting them in an empty bottle, closed the bottle to prevent the escape. He placed the bottle by a post on the ground, making the remark that he would ascertain “how. long the ‘eritters’ would live anyhow.” The:summer passed away and the winter followed, bringing no thought of the incarcerated bugs. ILast week in passing, Mr. Collins observed the. bottle and picked it up. It contained the intact though motionless forms of the potatotop. In the caprice of thé moment, he took the bottle to the house and held; it over the fire. ‘lmmense was his astonishment on perceiving the bugs take to themselves legs and walk. In a few moments the interior of the bottle was a writhing mass of Colorados. Eight months without food éxposed to the extremes of summer and winter and still living.

“THE AMERICAN” OR ANTI-SECRET ¢inil Y L SOUTREY PAREY. Inspeaking of the newly organized ‘American’ or anti-secret society party, the! Vincennes Sun observes: “They pledge themselves to vote' for no man for office who helongs to any secret: society, whether Grangers, Masons, or Good Templars. We rather think ‘they have undertaken a heavy contract, as when the Grangers, Workingmen, Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pyth« ias, Good Templars, Greek Fraternities and Red Men, unite to resist this anti-secret party it will be found that secret organizations are a- power-in this country, and when united for politiegl purposes, might become a dangerous ong.” It is not probable that secret societies will find it necessary ,tov“unite for political purposes” in order to frustrate the designs of the new party. There is no occasion for alarm. - The Troy Daily Times of the 4th inst. makes the following reference to this movement:

Three hundred persons constitued the assemblage in Syracuse yesterday, calling themselves the National Christian Association, and declaring I‘elenf;less war against all secret societies,. especially * free masons, which .they' mercilessly resolved to resist, depose and exterminate, ' We do fivm’%kq%\;’ who these three hundred determine people-are, but there are many thousands in the United States, the equals in character and standing, who are continually declaring eternal warfare against - masonry, odd-fellowship, and kindred societies, because at some period in their lives they were “blackballed.” - Itis a slight consolation to our masonic fellow citizens, however, to know that while these three hundred exterminators were venting their rage in Syracuse, a convention of from 800 to 1,000 of their own brethren; representing 80,000 members'in the State, were peacefully deliberating in New York, not for' the extermination of any people, sect or class, but in behalf of peace, good order,’ morality and religion. And having survived severer opposition than this of thé Syracuse three hundred, it'ig likely that they will hold on to life for a time yet, while the chronic malcontents, who see only eyil m that which is hiddén frem their own narrow vision, wage their impotent warfare of high sourds ing resolutions for people of common sense to langh at. il

; * DeKalb County items. -, {From the Waterloo Press, MaylBth.] ' The democratie. county committee have decided to call a convention, to mnominate county officers, on Saturday, August 8, 1874, - o : : ~The abolition of the Common Pleas Court deprives the county of all docket fees, the docket fee of that court, under the old judicial law, being,assigned to the county fund, and that of rthe'yCircuit Court to the State fund. " The Board of Commissioners of Steuben county, af thelr recent session, we understand held that only actual voters at the previous election were eligible persons to sign petitions for “permit,” thereby overfuling a decision of the Supreme Court. It now depends entirely upon which court has the highest authority. o 0 ~ln the following article, the ILaGrange Standard expresses the situation in this county, as well as though .we had spoken ourselves: “The present plan of assessment is quite unpopular with the people of this county.— They want the old way restored, town--ship Assessors, chosen by the townships, and real estate gppraisement less frequently. .

; -METHODIST . FRATERNAL' RELATIONS.—The report: of the Committee on -the: Fraternal Relations. of the Methodist Church, South, with refer--ence to fraternity and union with the Methodist Chureh North, is summed up.for usas follows: The Methodists South, while they express a willingness to fraternize, are honest enough to let their Northern brethren understand that they have no idea of uniting with them. The great obstacle to union is the negro, and the negro free is just as great an obstacle as he wis -when a slave. lln a condition of ser--vitude, there was no hope for union, because the Southern . Methodists would not free him. - Now that he is free, the Northern Methodists have inaugurated mixed conferences, congregations, and schools, to which the ‘Southern Methodists will never consent. “A union once formed, there would be the danger that the majority would thrust. the mixed plan upon them. - Thus the unfortunate negro, in whatever position he finds himself, is.the same old bone of contention.

Mz, I. N. Jaquess, in a communicationto the Mt. Carmel Register, gives the following' method for removing caterpillars from fruit trees: “Secrape all the loose bark from the trunk of the tree; then take a strip of woolen - cloth, and after saturating it with sul- - phur and grease, tie it around the body of the tree just below where the branches start' out; then take a- - brush and paint a strip. two or three inches wide at the band on the tree; the caterpillars after being shaken ‘ out, will again endeavor to mount the tree, but will stop at the sulphur line, where they may be destroyed by the bushel. A week’s labor could have been saved had I known of this plan at the start. I believe it worthy of publication.” : . Nl
