THE ORGANS ON THE PLATFORM.
[From the Cleveland Lcader.l
The resolutions adopted by the Union
Convention Of yesterday are excellent as
far as they 60. We endorse every one
Of them. The platform is, however,
remarkable for what it omits to
say, than for what il says. II weakly
and timidly ignores The only oital issue Of
day-Mc great question Of negro SUI
frage. Besides this there is no other
live issue on which parties arc divided.
In doing Ibis Me Convention has proved
itself tro gears behind he times, and has
inflicted a bitter disappointment upon all
