The Negro On. ar Politics.

---.-
The Radical papers continue to perpe
trate their pet conundrum: What will
the Democratic party do now that the
Negro is out Of politics?
We do not profess to be Chanrch
lion OH puzzles, but We remember A little
and have read more Of what the Demo
cratic party did before there was any
Negro in politics.
The Democratic party used to succeed
in the elections when there was no Ne
gro in politics.
The Democratic party use.l.ts admin
i,ter the g,vranant successfully at
about one sixth of the present cost
when there was no Negro in politics.
The Democratic party used to give all
branches Of industry equal chances tor
success. without robbins laborers for the
benefit of capitalists, when there was no
Negro in politics.
The Dem ,cratic party used to pre-
serve the public lands for the benefit of
the hndless, without placing il out of
reach of the poor by granting hy mil
lions of acres TO wealthy corporations !;
this, too, before there was any Negro in
politics.
The Democratic party used tn take
caro- that ballots instead of bayonets
were used for voting and that the legally
elected candidate got his Office, without
regard TO his politics; this, too, was be-
fore there was any Negro in politics.
The list might be extended through
out this page, but it is large enough to
illustrate what the Democratic party
used to do when there was no Negro in
politics, and it indicates about what the
|paty viii again do with the Negro out
of politics.
If we were to retort the question, and
ask what the Radical party will do With
out the Negro, We suspect the answer
wouldsbe that as there never has been a
Radical party without the Negro in pol
itics, there probably never will be ono
that amounts to much.

Sound Democratic Platform.

The platform Of principles adopted
by the Democratic State Convention of
Ohio, and which we publish this morn
ing, is as sound, and has about it ring
as clear, as one of those old fashioned
Mexican dollars that our people used to
see before they were driven out of cir
culation by deprecated greenbacks.-
There is not plank in it that should be
altered or removed, nor is there room
for any other. Under that flag the De-
mocracv of Ohio will conquer in Octo-
Der, and the people of the Union will
conquer in the elections that are to come.
1t is impossible that any party can long
stand reaking with the corruptions, and
guilty of the crimes, that mark the Re.
publican party. A high tariff, opprcss-
i've taxation, stupendous land frauds,
usurpation of power, and utter disre-
gard of the Constitution are crimes that
cry to Heaven for redress, and the pray.
ers of the people will be answered

More Land Robbery.

The land grabbing scheme is still ma
king progress in Congress TheIIouse,
on Friday, pissed the Senate bill grant
ing land to hid the construction of a
railroad and telegraph from Portland to
Astoria and McNIinnviIle, Oregon. Mr..
Holman, of Indiana, spoke at length in
opposition to the bill, which he said APP
propriated tiine hundred and forty thou
sand acres of land He had stated on a
former occasion, he said that there were
nine bills pending appropriating over
100, 100000 of acres, but he had since
learned that the estimate was far lelow
the reality, and that the number of bills
was over ITO, arprupriatirg over 250,-
100000 of acres. Since the establish
ment of the government there had been
given away, for purposes of education.
n 100000 acres of public lands and
1S5,000,000 to build the fortunes of
crafty and unscrupulous men, No less
than 150,000,000 have been granted to
corporations within the past ten years. If
that policy was continued, he went on to
say,it would not be long till there would
be no public lands left for homestead and
pre- emption purposes, for which over
10000, 900 acres had been taken in the
last year. Mr.. Holman continued to
argue at length against land grants.
These figures speak for themselves,
against the iniquity of this wicked squan-
dering of the nations patrimony. 1t is
growing to be gigantic evil. BY the
way, the carpet-bagger from Mississippi,
Ames, makes his first peep in the Senate,

The Political Revelation in New
York;

The extent of the political revolution
which has taken place in New York may
be judged of from these facts The
counties of Chadtauque, Monroe, Gen
esee and Essex have not given Demo
cratic majority for forty years until this
election. They were overwhelmingly
Anti Mason, then Wing, and afterward
Republican. Their politics have been
similar to our Western Reserve. A
Democratic majority in Ashtabula and
Geauga Counties would not be in any
respect more extraordinary event
There are dozen other counties whose
Republican majorities for fifteen years
have been counted by thousands that
now have voted the Democratic ticket
Such incidents mean nothing more nor
less chan that wonderful political
change is in progress all over the United
States.

singular Accident.

Col. Coruthers, United States Assess
or of Internal Revenue for this District,
met with very singular and painful ac-
cident at his residence in Wellsburg on
Saturday night. He wears on his finger
a very heavy seal ring and while carry
ing one of his children from its crib 20
its bed, slipped, and to save himself
from falling caught at the door. This
closed, the finger with the ring onFi it
catching between the door and the jamb,
his falling weight caused the ring to
strip the flesh from his little finger as
slick as one would take the skin off a
squirrel. "A physician was sent for who
took the quivering flesh and replaced it
on the finger, sewing 1t on. We were
informed last night that circulation had
commenced in the finger and that the
probabilities are that it will be saved
