The Plain Dealer WAS able TO stand the mech
anism vi two DeraocraIic Platiorms-one laid
down by the Central Committee in its call for
the SiUir Convention. and lhe secnnd eoncncted
by the Convention iself-but when it ca le 10
a third pla!k,rm a> laid down by The new Cen
irai Committee ct lis late meeting called to NIL

Harrison oar ntighbor threw up his iail-yar-

I';e following is from Yesterdays Pam

Platform No. 8.
Platform No. l, male by three Breckinridge
full hoods in the absence of the balance OF the
twenty-ihree State Committee men. (for which
| absence they have u fearful account to settle IN
the day Of judgmeni) we promptly repudiated
and slIll repudiate. Platform No. =. was a
better one, but contained Two planks TO which
We excepted. more because they were inoppor-
time than for lack of t-uth. We thought the
"whiie leather stack uEi, and w.iied io see 1t

We will shoulder our shot gun and start for the
Kanawha. Our politics run that way this year
anyhow. If Antony could say, "My heart is
in the coffin there with poor dead Cesar" We
can say, "our political heart is entpmbed in the
prairie State" So welcome are the words of
wisdom from that great Douglas that We let his
words close The paragraph: -.
whoever is mol prepared TO sacrifice party
organizai ions and platforms Oh The altar OF his
country does not deserve the support and coun-
ienance of honest people. How We to over
come partisan ami ipatii;e. in the minds of men
OF ali parties as to present united front IN

sing party issues. make no illusions todd par
ty tests have no examinations and recrImIna-
tiuns. indulge i'll no tauns one against the 9th

biCs.
when we shall have rescued The Government
and country from lis perils. and seen its flag
floating in triumph every inch OF Ameri-
can suiI, it will then be time enough 10 inquire
Us to who and what has brought these troubles
upon u.s. When we shall have a country and
Government for our children TO live in peace
and happiness, it will be lime tor each of us to
return 10 our parry banners according to our
own convictions OF right and duty. Let him
