-Alf. Burnett, the humorist, bears
testimony for'the South. He says the |
negroes sleep around in sheds and low
doggeries, producing disease and |
death, to an extent dangerous to the
community, and, of the white people,
that allowances must be made for
their preiudicies, and if Northern men
would visit the South, and be with
them a few months, they could not

turning thanks for public favor, says:
[ can honestly state'as the result of
nv observation during our extended
tour of over six months through the
States of Tennessee, Georgia, South

The Democratic State Conventions
| in California and Ohio engrafted in
| their platform of principles strong and
| emphatic resolutions in favor of the
| rights of wOrkingmen-in both in
stances taking grOnnd in favor of the
reduction of the hours of labor, the en-
largement of the privileges and eleya-
tion of the laboring classes. This fur
nishes a striking contrast with the
practical workings of the Republicans
since they have been in power. The
legislation of that party has had the
effect to increase the burdens OF the
working classes and reduce the value
of the compensation which they re-
ceived for their labor. In every sec
ttion of the country the Democracy are
taking sides with the masses against
the rule of the privileged classes, who
are laboring to add to their own wealth
and power at theexpense ofthe labor
| ing classes. al =lfrFr uFt
