THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

We give on our outside the platform
of the Ohio Democracy entire, but its
great length will deter many persons
from reading it. For their benefit we
give its substance in more condensed
form:
1st. Unless the bonds are taxed in
violation of the contract and the decis-
ions OF the Supreme Court, we will repu-
diate the interest.
I'd. Pay the bonds in greenbacks OF
repudiate them.
Sd. Free trade for British manufac-
lures.
4th. Favors limiting the hours of
labor in manufacturing workshops and
nowhere else,-and will help the labor
ingman if he is Democrat, on the Bu-
chanan principle of 10 cents for a days
labor.
5th. Governor Hayes speech hurts
our party.
9Th. The Legislature spent a great
deal of money but they intend to build a
Lunatic Asylum, Blind Asylum, and
Reform School for girls, which will make
it all right.
7th. We endorse the economical ad-
ministration of the Legislature.
sth. 1t is unconstitutional TO amend
the Constitution in the way provided by.
the Constitution.
9th. The Republican party wouldn't
let the Democratic States secede, and
have thereby turned our government
into consolidated despotism.
10th. The National Banks are not.
owned by Democrats and we demand
the repeal of the law under which they
are created. .-.....
11th. We denounce the hanging of
rebel outlaws because they are all Dem
oerats, and Grant is an accident "
President because he doesn't pardon
such felons. E.s -
18th. The Republican party has
trampled under f,ot the civil law in.
Mississippi, Virginia and Texas, and
wouldn't let the rebels do as they pleas
ed in recognizing those States.
18th. All the offiee-seeking Republi-
cans who have been disappointed in not
getting an office are invited to join the
200 900 Democrats who sent greeting to
the Southern Confederacy in 1861, and
help to give them the offices.
We don't see why all the scoundrels,
rebels, and cut throats, draft-sneaks and
heads in the State can't stand on
that platform.
How about this being "A White
Mans Government?'i Not word said
about Niger Equality!! These
Time -Honored" planks have been
omitted. Why 81 Echo answers, Why?

THE Richmond Enquirer declines to
claim the result of the Virginia election
as a Democratic victory. 1t declares
that there was no Democratic ticket OF
Democratic party in the field. On the
contrary, the 'Conservatives"-
wise Democrats-it alleges, withdrew
their ticket and supported "the Repub-
lican ticket put forth by true Republi-
cans"

For Diseases OF the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds. Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,


ouch ss Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before In the whole history Of
medicine, has anything won SO widely and SO deeply
upon the confidence Of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through . long
series ofyears, and among most Of the races OF
men it has risen higher and higher IN their estima
ton, as Il has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made it known q
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mler forms of disease and to young children It is
at the same time the most efectua remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dam
gerous affections of the throat and lungs As pro-
vision against sudden attacks Of Group, it should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as al
are sometimes subject to colde and coughs, al
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consssnsptio7s Is thought m
curable still great numbers Of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry Pecforot. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee
toraI they subside and disappear.
Singers and Pubic Speakers find great pro-
lection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it. FfsEr -
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry PICTORIAL In small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here, do more
than assure the public that its qualities are fully
maintained,

WILL the editor of the Gazette inform
its readers why the Democratic conven-
ticn didn't put the usual plank in the
platform denouncing "nigger" equality,
and declaring that this is white
mans government" 1t looks little as
if the party were going to try to get a
portion of the negro vote next year
when by the adoption of the XVIII
amendment they will all become voters.
A coIored man without the right to vote
is "nigger, but with the right to vote
he is IAN American citizen of African
decent,u and hence the absence of the
"nigger" planks in the Democratic
Platform. .tse.

Rosecrans Took Care of the Woundcd
at Chickamausa.
From the Toledo Blade.
EDITOR BLADE--On the 18th and Goth
days of september, 1853, we fought the
terrible battle of Chickamauga. Actual
ly driven from the field, and saved from
ruin only by the heroism of General
Thomas and his gallant command, we
fell back to Chattanooga, carrying with
us all that our ambulances and wagons
of all kinds could hold of the wounded
of the two days fierce rain of mlnie-
bullets, shot and shell.
On that fatal field we left great num-
bers of the more severely wounded, con-
signing them to the tender mercies OF
the wicked rebels, because We had not
means of transportation, or because
their wounds would not admit of their
being transported.
All this shattered army fell back to
the little city, or, more properly, village
of Chattanooga. In about ten days
ambulances were sent out, and all that
renamed OF our WOunueu comrades
were brought within our lines, and cared
for tn the besr of oiIr ability Their

GENERAL RosECRANs' Imposing
aits" FLOURISH

1t is reported by telegraph, on the
strength of letter from Murfreesbors,
that General Rosecrans has issued an
order prohibiting the Cincinnati En-
quirer and Chicago Times from circulate
ing in the Army of the Cumberland. AS
the Cincinnati Enquirer is not dWqre
that it has any circulation IN the Arn.y
of the Cumberland, the question whether
or not the report be true is not one in
which we are practically much interest
ed. The act of prohibition, however
much comfort it may. afford the officer
by whom it is published, is rather an
imposing flourish than IA damaa ing
blow. 1t may, if carried into vigilant
execution, diminish the sales of the En-
quirer by dozen or, so; and if, at this
very limited expense to US, General
Rosecrans is enabled 10 get up a bril-
liant exposition of his own loyalty and
patriotism, we are willing, in considera-
ton of old friendship, that he shall pro-
hibit until he is entirely satisfied.

robust young man elbowed his way through
