Poor Y was suffering terribly. Fl
had never been caught so fairly be-
fore. The perspiration was pouring
down his forehead, and the air Of tn,
room seemed terribly confined. Fl,
mentally cursed masquerades, domin
Oes, bewitehing widows and his OWL
stupidity, and it was a relief whe
his wife intimated that they had bet

sunk away like whipped school-boy
Democratic Platform.
l. Resolred, That the exemption
from taxation of twenty. five hundred
million of dollars in Govern
ment bonds and securities is un-
just to the people, and not to be toll
Grated, and that we are opposed tC
any appropriation for the payment Of
interest on the Federal bonds unit
they are made subject to Fedora
taxation.
2. ResoEUed, That the claims Of
the bopdholders that bonds bought
with greenbacks, and the principal Of
which Is by law payable in currency,
should nevertheless be paid in gold.
is unjust and extortlonate, and if per.
sisted in will inevitably force upon
the people the question of repudia-
ton.
3. ReSolUed, That we denoubce til e
national banking system as one of the
worst outgrowths of the bonded debt,
in that it unnecessarily increases the
burden of the people thirty million of
dollars annually, and we demand its
Immediate repeal.
4. ReSoZUed, That We denounce the
present high protective tariff enacted
in the interests of the New England
manufacturers for its enormous inn
position on duties on salt, sugar, tea,
coffee, and other necessities as are
oppressive, especially upon the people
of the vest, and that we demand It's
repeal, and the substitution Of anoth-
er based upon revenue principles
alone, approximating free trade as
closely as possible.
5. ResolUed, That the Democratic
party of the United States has always
been. pre-eminently friendly to the
rights and interests Of the laboriag
man; that it is in favor OF a limited
number of hours of labor in all Gov
ernment workshops, hours dictated by
the physical and mental we'll being of
the laborers; that it is in favor of the
most liberal laws in regard to house,
hold and homestead exemptions from
sale and execution; that it is also in
favor ofliberal grants of land from the
public domain to actual settlers with
out cost, and opposed to donating
these lands to swindling railroad cor
porations, and is generally friendly to
the measures advocated by the Labor
and Industrial Congress, and as par
ty it pledges, if restored to power, its
influence to give them practical ap-
plicatiOn.
6. Resolred, That it is the right of
each State to decide for itself who
shall possess the elective franchise
within it, and that the attempt to
regulate suffragein Ohio by means of
the so-called Fifteenth Constitution
al Amendment, is subversive of the
prin~iPl~s-vf the Federal Constitu-
ton.
z. Resolred, That the policy and
losiglation of tho Radical party tend
to destroy all the reserved righes of
the States, and converts the Republic
into a consolidated despotism; that
such despotism, whether exercised
by President, Emperor, or a Con-
gress, is fatal to liberty and good
government; that consolidation in
this country means the absolute DOM
ination of monopoly and aggregated
capital over the lives, the liberty and
the property of the toiling masses.
8. ResoEred, That the numerous
palpable and high handed usurpations
of the party in power, and their many
public and private acts of tyranny,
trampling under foot the civil law and
the guarantees of the Constitution,
and their continuing to deprive the
sovereign States of representation in
Congress-governing States by mill
tary rule, prove them to be the party
of despotism and unworthy of the
confidence and support of a free peO-
pie.
8, ResoFUed, That the trial and
sentence to death by a military COM
mission of citizen of Texas, not in
the military service, while the civil
courts are in the unobstructed exer-
else of their functions in that State,
and in time of profound peace, and
the approval of that sentence by
President Grant, are in violation of
the most sacred rights of American
citizens guaranteed by their Consti-
tuition, both State and Federal, and
deserve and should receive the Sc
verest condemnation of every lover
ofliberty and constitutional govern
ment.
10. Resolred, That the attacks of
Governors Hayes and Lee upon the
doings of the late General Assembly
are false in statement, malicious in
spirit, and unworthy of their posi-
ton.
IL. Resolred, That the Fifty-
eighth General Assembly was called
upon to make large and extraordinary
appropriations to rebuild the burned
Lunatic Asylum, to provide a Re-
form School for girls, to construct a
new Blind Asylum, to make an ap-
preparation to meet a judgment of
more than eighty thousand dollars,
recovered in the Supreme Court of the
State, in favor of the Life and Trust
Company, and to supply deficiency
of more than five hundred thousand
dollars of the preceding Republican
Legislature-all of which, together
with the extra compensation paid to
members under law passed BY a
Republican Legislature, without an
increase of the State levy notWith-
standing all these things, their appro-
priations are much less than those OF
the preceding Republican Aegisla-
