that the issues growing out of the war for the union can never be called settled until they are settled rightBy ursurping and absorbing the rights of disfranchised colored men, white men southern states are ex erting double the political power of white men in northern states rebel, soldiers in the south are thus enabled to wield twice the lDliuence.in the nation, that union soldiers in the north can wield. We protest against union soldiers having one vote and rebel soldiers having two. Ihe second resolution set forth that the blacks thus disfranclused are degraded at will into forms of cheap labor, thus menacing free moor ih ine norm, ine third censures Cleveland for selecting as for eign representatives persons, who, during rue reoeinon, rougnt lor its success or justified its principles, and still continues to do so; declares his conduct is made more offensive by the persistent removal of dis abled Union soldiers from the government employment by the means of dis reputable, "offensive partisian" schemes. ihe fourth demands a modification of the pension laws, so as to date all pensions from disability, to in crease widow's pensions from $8 to $12 per month, and granting pensions to all soldiers disabled from securing support by their own labors, and all soldiers of the Mexican war; condemns the removal by Cleveland of the medical pension ex aminers appointed by Lincoln, Grant and uarneld, who have been steady friends of the union soldiers, and their replacement by men who generally opposed the passage of pension laws. The fifth favors protection from foreign cheap labor, and demands ample laws protecting labor and capital; favoring a state board arbitration for the settlement of differences; opposes convict labor competition in the state.

The sixth opposes the British policy advocated by the Democratic party in this country, under the guise of tariff for revenue only, and invites all the Irish people to join the Republican party in resisting an introduction of that policy into America, xne seventn lavors the enlargement of commerce, especially with Mouth America and Amencan shinners. The eighth endorses the civil service law enacted by the Republican party and pledges aid in any needed amendments; regards the failure of the present adnvn- istration to promote such civil service re form, began by the liepubhcans. The ninth demands, the restoration to the public domain of the forfeited and un earned railroad land grants; opposes the acquisitions of the public lands by aliens, Ihe tenth opposes any changes in the laws that will increase the burdens of the poorer class; favors a revision of the pat ent laws, the improvement water ways and the suppression or polygamy. The eleventh is as follows: The Republican par ty of Iowa while a steady upholder of the right and duty of the state to regulate the traliic in liquor by such methods as will suppress most of its evils, has never made the support of prohibition. a test of party fenlty.

It pledged its honor to enact, and alterward did enact, ut a non-partisan election, hnd fairly endors ed by an unquestioned majority, that came from the ranks of Republicans and Democrats. We declare now for a fair aud thorough trial of that law, that it may have time to demonstrate its ineffi-ency, before it is repealed to give way to some other honest and earnest method of dealing with the liquor traffic. We arraign and condemn the Democratic party or lowa tor its action in declaring for a $250 license, conipulsary on every conv munity, regardless of local option: for le galizing again in Iowa the sale of whisky and all other nlchoholic liquors, and for removing all restrictions from saloons. giving a freedom in the liquor traffic that has not existed thirty years. Ihe twelfth endorses the control and regulation of rail way by the people, as established by the republican law in Iowa, which has greatly benefited the state; opposing unjust and arbitrary discriminations aud poolings, and favoring their correction by legislation; favoring the creation by congress of a national commission for the regulation interstate commerce.

The thirteen calls for further state and national legislation for the protection oi the live stock interests and the control of the cattle plague. The fourteenth favors legislation that will keep litigation with corporations doing business within the state in the state courts. The fifteenth favors the establishment of a volunteer soldiers and sailors' home in the Estate. The sixteenth pays a tribute to General Grant and gives expression to the universal sorrow over his death. Troop Stationed at New Kiowa.

Kansas City, Aug. 28. The Journal's New Kiowa, special says: "Four companies of United States infantry arrived here yesterday, and three troops pf the 5th cavalry to-day. They have gone into camp one mile from town and will remain through the autumn. They have been stationed here to guard the borders on account of the recent Cheyenne troubles, though; perhaps, also in consequence of the president's determination to remove the cattlemen from the territory.

Three companies, one of the Eighteenth Infantry from Montana, and one of the Twenty-second Infantry, from Colorado. A difficulty occurred in a saloon here last night in which a soldier named Sohmidz was shot by a gambler named Black. The wounded man will die. He has a family with him at camp. Black was arrested.

Great indignation is expressed, as the murder was unprovoked. Also the Second Baptist "church of Man hattan, has the largest school in the city of mannattan, Kev. A. Cooper, Pastor.

At Kingston, asuberbof Atcihson, the Knights of La bor had rented a new of George Smart and were about to celebrate the event with a dance, and were awaiting the gathering Jof the crowd by drinking in Hobbies saloon on the first floor when Jim Kelly, a young man who is the leader of quite a gang in this quarter, became somewhat noisey and was requested by Smart to desist Instead of acquiesing he summoned his faction and attacked Smart who sent for Kelly's father to take the young man honie. When Kelly senior arrived and took in the situation, in stead of persuading his son to cease, he took up for him and both together at tacked Smart, who retreated out of the house and across the street followed by the Kellys, one of whom the young man presumably cut him twice in the breast with a knife.

At this juncture some one handed Smart a revolver and told him to use it in his own defense. He fired six. shot, four of which took effect on the person of Jim Kelly, and two in the body of Kelly senior. Jim was seri ously wounded, but Father Kelly's hurts are immaterial, (smart cume to town immediately after the shooting, and gave himself up. Jim Kelly was taken home, where he now lies in a serious condition.

The sympathy of the public is with Smart who is a quiet and inoffensive citizen, while Kelly junior, is the leader of a gang whose delight has bten to clean out everything in their drunken sprees.

FROM LANSING KANSAS.
