The announcement OF the final adjustment OF the
Cabinet appointments produced very little sensation

expected and consequently discounted" HIS
name is a popular one with the street. and quiet
satisfaction is felt with his policy as nnancier He

ideas and in favor OF protective tariff. The mar

the eject OF his nomination. while better reports
from Europe assisted this upward tendency, when
carried 6as to Il9k. At the first board there was
lively disposition TO invest and the market came out
OF the dulness which characterized II during the eA-
plred portion OF the week. better feelng was
created by the announcement through tue cape
that the Bank Of England had decided
not 10 raise the discount rate n step which was
doubtless prompted originally by the large diversion
or English capital into American national seeuriues
aud railroad enterprises, but rendered unnecessary
by the relapse In our bonds which occurred just pre-
y,ous to the meeting Of the directors This relapse
was followed by recovery al the late LONDON poara

John Moore, the murderer Of Mrs.
McAdams, a beautiful young married
woman from near Greenville, Illinois,
says he enticcd the lady into the
house from tho porch where she was
washing, and attempted to violate
her, but she struggled so hard that
he released her. He thon endeav-
ored to persuade and bribe her not to
rovea, his act, but she refused, and
he went home with the intention of
leaving the country. He could not
abandon his wife and child, however,
and returned to Mrs. McAdams's
house for the purpose of again plead
idg with her not tosdisclose his con-
duct. When ho approached, she ran
away. He followed and caught her.

Democratic Platform

The following is tho Dcmosratic
Platform adopted at Des Moines
Wednesday,. The reader will look
in vain to find any dcnunciation of
Negro suffrage in it:
Resotred, That the Democratic par.
ty view with alarm the action OF an
unscrupulous majority in Congress
in their attempts to absorb the pow
ers Of the Executive and Judicial de-
partmcnts Of tho Government, and TO
annihilate the rights and functions
reserved TO the State Governments.
Resolrea, That we favor reform
in the National Banking system,
looking to an ultimate adjustment
of that pernicious plan for the ag-
grandizement of tho few at the ex-
pense Of the many.
Resolued, That now as in times
past, we are opposed to high pro-
tective tariff, and that we will use
every effort to prevent and defeat
that system Of National Legislation
which would enrich small class of
manufacturers at the expense of the
great mass of producers and consum-
ers, and that we are in favor of such
reforms in our tariff system as will
promote commerce with every ma
tion in the world. afa
Resolued, That the trial, conviction
and execution Of persons not belong
ing to the Military or Naval service
OF the United States by Military
Commission is in direct conflict with
the Constitution and we denounce
the same as unworthy OF q free peo-
pie and disgraceful to the American
government.
Resolved, That we demand no
more, and will submit to no less than
the settlement of the Alabama
Claims according to the recognized
rules of International Law, and that
we declare it to be the duty of the
government to protect every citizen,
whether naturalized or native, in
perfect right of liberty and property,
throughout the world, without re-
gard to pretended claims of foreign
nations to their allegiance.
Resolyed, That we are in favor of
and insist on an economical admins
tration of the National and State
government, and that the people may
be as speedily as possible relieved
from the load of taxation with which
all are now oppressed, and that pub
lie officers should be held to strict
accountability to the people for all
