Des Morxzs, May 17.—The Democratie State Conventlon met ut 11 o’clock with a pretty full attendance, there being nearly 800 delegates. More counties are represcnted than have been ina Demoeratic Conventfon for years. Judge Kinnc, of Tama, wus chosen termporary Chair- man, and T. O, Walker and W, W. Garner Sec- retarfes. Committees were appolnted on cre- dentlals and rosolutions, and the Convention ndjourned. At the afternoon session the Hon, I, II. Trim- DLle was elected permanent Chalrman, On a roll-call thirty-four counties fafled to re- spond. The Credentinls Committee reported 826 delegates preseat. After a protracted contest, it was decided to hold two State Conventions, and to do nothing but elect delegates to St. Loutw at this Conyentlon. The Committee on Resotutions reported the fol- lowing resolations, which were adupted without debate. TIHE PLATFORS. The Democracy of Jowa, in convention azsem- bled, while pledging earncat support to the declara. rutfon of principles that will be given to the coun- try by tho 5t. Louin Convention, declare as follows thielr views tpon the vital questions now before the Republic for discusslon anu sdjustment: Adterolred, That inthe wenknesn of Ita adminis- tration of justice aud the corruption which recka in every partor the public service, dlsgracing us at home andl degrading us abruad, [ witnessed avi- dence of the untitness of the party in power longer to bear the responsibliities of Government, 2. That we acmand and wlill enforce honesty and reform in the Government, and demand of our Notlonal Convention such earnest pledzen of up- rightness and decency for the administration of the country o8 shall command the confidence of its purest and most patriotic men, and the selection of siandnrd-bearers whose liver, private and official, are a guaranice to the country of thelr bility 1o carry forward the great work” of reform made tm- medlately necessary by the corruptivn and crime of the Republican party. 3. That, inssmuch s Enld Is the recognized atandard of values throughout the world, and fur- nishes the basis for general trade and commerce, we favor an early retarn 1o specle payment, bo- cauve it will place tho business interests of the conniry on a sure and satisfactory baels, and secure us from the uncertalnties attending the existonce of two moneyed mediums of unequal vaines. Attho same time we belleve that a forced and sudden re- sumptlon of specic-payment, such as contemplated by the so-cailed *“Bherman Resumption act of 1875, will conne widespread disaster and ruin to our bualness interest, hus had and §a now having blighting effect on all induoatry, and, being ane i the many bluudecs of the Hepublican party, aboul be repesled, DELEGATES.
