TRYON, CLOSE OP VOLUME TWENTY-ONE With this issue the PLAINDEALER is Twenty-One years old, and it is with pride we point to its past, and with con­ fidence we look to its future. In opening the pages of Volume Twenty-Two next week, we shall have something more to say to our readers on this subbjrct. Suffice to say at this time that notwith­ standing the hard times its subscription list is constantly increasing which is as good an endorsement as we want that our efforts to please its large list of read­ ers as being appreciated. t@?*On the Elgin Board of Trude Mon­ day the offerings at the opening were not j as large as last week. First bids 14'/,c; later 15c placed on several lots. These withdrawn on call. Sales made at 14%c. Several factories refused to sell at these figures. t®* It is said that the silver men have applied for a patent on thedaiey as their campaign emblem--sixteen white petals aroud a yellow center. The emblem ap­ pears to be appropriate. As soon as the daisy heginstofade the petals wither and drop off, leaving the seed to ripen in the golden center. " THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM. The platform adopted by the Republi­ can party, at St. Louis, declares in ring­ ing terms for America and American interests, for the Union and for protect­ ion, for reciprocity, for honest money, genuine civil service reform, the building up of our merchant, marine, the rescue of Cuba from Spanish thraldom, and t-lje defense of the republics of America against European interference or dicta­ tion, There never has been any doubt, but that the Republican national con­ vention would speak plainly, directly and boldly on the vital issues now before the American people. The Republican party never has quibbled or equivocated from the day tbat it declared for the free­ dom and equality of man and pro­ nounced the doom of slavery. The Republican party declares once more with unanimous voice, in clear and clarion tones, for genuine protection to American industries and American labor. The Republican party pledges itself to "protect American labor from degrada­ tion to the wage level' of other, .lands," and at the same time to renew the recip­ rocal trade agreements, which, under the matchless statecraft of James G. Blaine proved so valuable an aid to the exten­ sion of the markets for American pro­ ducts. Protection and reciprocity are; declared to be the "twin measures, of Re­ publican policy."' It is .unnecessary to support that declaration by extended argumehts. The arguments for pro" tection are to be seen on all sides, in crippled ..industries, blighted farms, ranches bare of sheep, swallows nesting in smokeless factory chimneys. The American people demand protection, and t.heRepubliean party will give it to them. The Republican purty pronounces for money of the highest standard. On this, as on all other points, the platform is unequivocal, and should be satisfactory to honest men everywhere. The currency plank of the platform reads as follows: "We are unalterably opposed to every measure calculated to debase our cur­ rency or impair the credit of our coun­ try. We are, therefore, opposed to the free coinage of silver, except by^iterna- tional agreement with the leading com­ mercial nations of the world, which we pledge ours'elves to promote, and until such agreement can be obtained, the ex­ isting gold st andard must be preserved." Here is a call for the soundest of money, for a currency equal to the best the world affords. Other planks of especiel interest call for just and liberal pensioDsfor veterans of the Union armies, for a vigorous and dignified foreign policy, and for a free ballot and a fair count everywhere, in all elections. There is not a doubtful ulank in the platform. It is aggressively and soundly American. It shows the possession of definite party principles and the courage to stand by them. It is a platform up- j on which the Republicans can make an I aggressive fight; upon which they can achieve victory, because they deserve it. Fourth of July Celebration AT PISTAQ.UA BAY.

Barnett, Chairman of the State Republican Committee, of Ky., says of the outlook in that state: " Ken­ tucky will give a majority For the Repub­ lican ticket in November of from 25,000 to 30,000 votes. 1 expect to see a Re­ publican elected in every Congressional district save one--the first--and it is doubtful whether the democrats will carry that." The electoral votes of Colorado, Idaho, the Dakotas, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Washington and Montaua com­ bined are 30. Senator Mitchell fears the loss of Oregon on a gold Platform. If the four electoral votes of that state are added to the 30 above mentioned, the vote of the entire ten states will be two short of New York's 3G in the electoral college. tST' During the forty years existence of the Republican party the state of New Jersey has had two nominees for vice president, Wm. L. Dayton iu 1850 and Garret a Hobart in 1896. During this period Maine has had a candidate for president, James G. Blaine, and a vice president, Hannibal Hamlin; Massachu setts, a vice president, Henry Wilson; New York three vice presidents, Wm. A. Wheeler, Chester A. Arthur and Levi P Morton, one of whom, Chester A. Arthur became president, and one candidate for vice president, Whitelaw Reid; Iudiaua a president, Benjamin Harrison, and a vice president, Schuyler Colfax; Illinois two presidents, both re-elected, Abraham Lincoln and L lysses S. Grant, and a can­ didate for vice president, John A. Logan; Ohio two presidents, Rutherford B Hayes and James A. Garfield, and one presidential candidate, Wm.. McKinley Tennessee a vice president who afterw ard became„president, Andrew Johnson, and California a presidential candidate, John C. Fremont, JACOB B0NSLETT tSar* There is nothing the matter wi th the Republican platform. There is no­ thing the matter with the Republican party, There is nothing the matter with the Republican candidates. McKinley and Hobart will be elected by the largest majority given to any candidates since the war. This election will mean Pros­ perity, Patriotism and Protection on a gold basis. tST'The Democrats of Illinois have de­ meaned themselves to .such an extent as to renominate the anarchist John P. Altgeld for governor on a free silver plat­ form. The.administration of Altgeld has been a disgrace to the state of Illinois. He has pandered to the.reactionary and vicious elements during his entire term as governor. The people of Illinois now have a chance to bury him beyond resur­ rection beneath a multitude of hostile ballots. And thousands of decent Dem­ ocrats will aid in administering this re­ buke to him and his disgraceful admin­ istration. NOx'ICE TO THE PUBLIC. It being freely advertised by poster and otherwise that captain John K. Tan ner, the Republican candidate for Gov ernor, is to be in Bloomington on July Fourth and address the people-, it be­ comes necessary to hereby publicly and emphatically deny that any arrange inent to that effect has been made with Captain Tanner. He will neither speak in Bloomington nor at any other point in Illinois on the Fourth, and will not be in the state on that occasion. It is th d- sire of the state central committee to have the impression that Captain Tan ner will be in Bloomington the Fourth corrected as widely as possible, as he would not knowingly be a party to deception on the public. Republican papers are requested to publish this cor rection, as Captain Tanner may be ad vertised to speak in'other places. 'h M I®"President Diaz, of Mexico has just been renominated for a fifth term with .scarcely any opposition. President Cleveland feels badly that he is not ac­ corded a third term by the people of the United States. Dia? is a patriot and a statesman, whose rule has been most beneficent and under which the people of Mexico have prospered. Cleveland has done his best to ruin the industries of this country and reduce is working peo­ ple to penury and want. He has i ncreas- ed the national debt and by his cowardly foreign policy brought this country into contempt in the/eyes of other nations. It is no wonder that even his own patty repudiates him and the people are eager to be rid of him and his poyerty produe jug administration. 1 * PATENT SPRINGFIELD * have If WHITE jWM !P AT E H T WI, O I K , Fiom the Roller ftfiilis of Springfield, Minn. 17 Frock Suits, men's worsted corkscrew, in plain blue and plain black, former prices 15, 10 and $18., all going-at $1'0 0 Suits men s all wool diagonals, blue and brown mixed, 10 u „ " " grey mixed . ............. 7 " u plain black, going at . ./.... 8 " " blue and black, fine check, worth $18, 12 " extra fine all wool Scotch tricots, blue grey.... 12 " plain brown mixed, all wool, worth $12, going for 0 2 suits boys' black diagonal, formerly $15, now 10 0 suits youths' square cut, all wool, brown mixed C 1 " black worsted, corkscrew, $12,50, 9 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 50 00 Every sack of this Flour is Guaranteed, and will Low or Lower than any other Good Flour on the market.
