at the sometime protect the con.
sumer BY disconnecting tho wool
tariff from all other tariffs, for the
benefit Of the manufacturers.
And finally, it SHOULD be borne in
mind by every tax payer and every
patriot who has the good Of tho
country at heart, that the speakers
Of the Democratic party openly
avow that their hope for the success
OF that party lies only in financial
disaster to the country, whether
caused by failure Of crops, BY the
discrediting Of the national curren-
cy, by preventing the Nation from
meeting its obligations, or however
resulting.
We earnestly hope that every
Union paper Of Ohio will keep
these facts before the people con
tinually, until after the next election
shall have rebukcd the iniquity of
the Democratic party by the largest
Republican majority ever given in
the State.

why DEMOCRATS HATE HIM.

The unrelenting war wage(
against me by the Democracy is Ii
able to be misunderstood if looked
at specifically. 1t is not because,
as has been suspected by some,
was Democrat and am ore no
longer. Dying out as it has been,
slowly but painfully, for the last s
years with the dry rot, that party
have become too much accustom-
ed to see men Of sense withdraw
their aIlegience from it to make my
instance a source of serious irrita-
ton. The true reason which OK
plains the maleyolence with which
they pursue me will he found in the
fact that while the recent war was ra-
ging the honorable distinctionwas
awarded to me Of having put to the
sword my full share Of their party
who fell fighting in front Of my
command under the spotted flag Of
treason, to support their sentiments
and principles. Loud applause
from the floor Of the House.

went out in the garden to hunt him.

snake. Her cries did not reach the

free, however, than he made for the

The Madison (Ind. Courier says
that at a dance in that city the Other
night, two youths became struck
with the same girl. She, not will
ing to show special favor to Ell
ther, declined dancing, and seated
herself in the backpart of the room.
Being chilly, the fair maiden wore
a large shawl. One ofher admirers
concluded to slip his hand under
the shawl, and try what effect squeez-
inc her hand would have. With
nervous trepidation he made the at
tack, and succeeded He was bliss
ful. He squeezed and she squeezed.
He felt glorious, too. After quite
a Joyful time spent in this way, the
lady threw back her shawl, and re-
vealed to crowd standing near,
the two youths squeezing one an
others hands most lovingly. 1t
don't do to say "squeeze" to either
one of them since.

Hot Shot from Gen. Logan.

Gen. Logan made speech i

paragraphs which exposes the Dem

UNION PLATFORM.

The Republican Union party Of Ohio
in Convention assembled declare,
lst. That one of the great lessons Of the
war is that the American people are ma
tion and not merely confederacy of soy
ereign and Independent States.
I'd. That our existence as a nation is bas-
ed on the great principles announced in
the Declaration Of Independence, and vim
dicated by the proclamation of emancipa-
tion. the constitutional amendment abol-
ishing slavery, and the spirit ofrepublican
democracy and justice, which underlies
the reconstruction policy of the 39th and
10th Congresses, which we hereby fully
indorse. and which we demand shall be
carried into complete effect by every need
ful act of additional legislation.
Sd. That while we will always cherish
and defend the American system of local
and municipal self-governments for local
purposes, and national government for
national purposes, and while we are unal-
terably opposed to all attempts at central
ization or consolidation ofpower anywhere,
we hold that liberty and human rights
constitute our great national boon, which
local or State organizations must not be
allowed to abridge or take away.
4th That imbued with the spirit of true
Democracy, and believing that the powers
necessary for the purpose of attaining the
ends of government, ought not to be re,
stricted to a privileged class, but should
be vested IN the whole people, without un-
just or odous distinctions, orqualifcations or
not equally attalnable by all; and further
hal bot /.
strict accordance with the spirit aud tend
enoy of modern civilization, we place our
selves on the simple and broad platform of
impartial manhood suffrage, as embodied
in the proposed amendment to the State
Constitution, appealing to and confiding
in, the intelligence, justice and patriotism
of the people of Ohio, to approve it at the
ballot box.
5th. The American people owe debt of
lasting gratitude to the brave soldiers and
sailors who in the late struggle for ouI ma
tional existence, so nobly fought for our
liberties and for the privqtions. sufferings
and sacrifices which they endured. The
loyal men of Ohio hereby pledge to them
and to the widows and orphans of those
who fell in defense of the nation, our sym
pathies and substantial support,
9th. That we approve and endorse the
military administration of our distinguish
ID fellow citizen, Major General Phil. II.
Sheridan, in Louisiana and Texas, and
pledge him and the military commanders
n the South, the cordial support of the
Union men of Ohio ir their efforts to protect
he loyal people of the late rebel States,
md to secure the organization of loyal and (
government in said States.
7th. That we fully indorse and approve
If the administration Of our present Gov
rnor, j. D. Cox, and extend to him our
learty thanks for the faithful manner in
which he has discharged his Official duties, {
nd sustained the credit and honor of our
loble State.

and became dominant in their exec
utivc, Legislative and judicial depart
! ments. The yagrant and labor laws
virtually re-enslaying the emancipa
ted, followed by murders, outrages
riots and massacres, crowned the
Whole. Loyal men we're underfoot,
and the reviviiied spirit Of rebellion
was triumphant. With our duty to
our country and our oaths wc
could not affirm and legalize this
policy, and hence the Legislative ac-
4 ton we have since taken. Approy-
ed in the past we have been. can
not doubt even a more triumphant
endorsement hereafter. Applause. |
The President appeals to the ballot
box, so do we; and by its decision
we are willing to stand or fall. In
1862, in the darkest hour Of the war
and disaster and reverse, the ballot
box sustained us and returned a
Republican majority to Congress.
In 1864, we were compelled to ac-
ccpt all the odium of conscription,
the heavy burdens Of taxation nee
essary for our national credit and
to keep our flag flying in the field,
the charges Of our enemies that men
were being drafted from their homes
to free negroes and the denuncia-
tions against the war as a failure;
but with the simple motto Of sour
country" under the lead Of our no
bic President--would to God he
were living to-day-we won mag
nificent triumph. Applause. In
1856, when President johnson turn
ed his back on the party which elect
ed him, traversed the country max |
ing speeches to be read by millions,
denouncing us, but with an honored .
exception applause, and cries of
Stanton" with the whole power
and patronage of the government
thrown in the scale Of our enemies,
we appealed again to the ballot box,
winning the most magnificent yicto-
ry ever known in our political his
tory. Applause. But this will be
eclipsed by the coming victory of
1868, when we shall place in the
office Of government one who will /,
be faithful to liberty, justice and
oyalty, We ask no more and will /,
accept no less, and the victory will /
De swelled by the votes Of the re
South. When they re-
urn, as they will, in accordance

ave been faithful to the Union in
is darkest hours. They will join

The Democratic papers keep
up a perpetual howl about the
swarms Of officers, and the immense
expenses, incident to the collection
of the internal revenue. The truth
is, it is the cheapest system of tax
collections ever devised. Accord.
ing to the showing of Commission
er Rollins, = per cent. paid all the
eXpenses.Of as essing and collecting
in 1860; and in 1866 and 1867 j
per cent. will more than suffice. It
costs more than twice that per cent.
to collect the taxes in Ohio, under
the revenue system of Ohio, devils
ed by the Democratic party. And,
thanks to that party, that system is

CHILD SUIo1DE-A few days since
a man, in good circumstances, in or
near Olney, Illinois, had his little
daughter, twelve or fourteen years
of age, with him hoeing corn all the
forenoon, and when he returned to
the house he ordered her to get his
dinner while he laid down to rest
The child said, "Father, l am too
tired" Her father again ordered
her to get his dinner. In return,
she informed him that there was
nothing in the house for her to pre-
pare. He then repeated the order
in a more peremptory tone, where
upon the child left the front room.
A few minutes later a neighbor wo-
man came in and search was made
for the child, who, after a little
time, was found under the stairway
hung by the neck.
