Our Candidates and Platform.

The Bradford Reporter, in reference to
the Republican candidates and platform
says:
The candidates placed in nomination are
men of moral worth and political integrity.
Both of them served in the army during
the rebellion-Dr Stanton as surgeon,
and Col. Beath enlisted as a private and
came out with a co!onel's commission, earn
ed by gallant service in the field. The plat
form is all that could be desired. Every
plank is of sound timber, capable of any
test which our opponents may apply to II,
and broad enough TO accommodate every
man who is a Republican from principle. 1t
is the doctrine of the Republican party to
do what is right for all men and all inter
ests. But that VIC have triumphed hereto
| fore and by 1t We will be victorious as long
as we are faithful to its noble teaching
Aside from the merits of our candidates,
and they are well established, We go into the
campaign animated and controlled by the
absorbing truth that it is necessary for the
| Republican party to succeed, because such
success is essential to the well being and the
perpetuity of the Republic. There can be
no good government in this country unless
1t is administered by good Republican states
men. All that we are as State and a na>
tion we owe 20 Republican policy. Had the
Democratic party beea continued in power
in 1860, we would have ceased to exist as q
united nation in 1870 These are the prin
ciplcs on which we 90 into the contest, and
on the single issue that the people cannot
do without the Government administered
by the Republican party, we will win anoth
er great victory in October.

AND now comes the appalling announce
meut of another most terrible calamity at
sea, whereby five hundred Kidnapped coolies
were literally roasted alive. 1t seems, from
the accounts, that these unfortunate human
victims to the avarice Of man were entrap
ped aboard slave steamship at Macao, a
Portuguese city On the coast of China, at
the mouth of the Canton river, and we're
heing carried off in bondage to some mar
ket. They were confined in the hold, and
when out at sea one of their number fired
the vessel The officers and crew at once
closed and fastened the matches, and left the
ship and their victims to the flames. The
fate of the five hundred was terrible one,
and calls for swift and certain vengeance
on their cruel murderers.

The sorrows Of the Democracy in Ohio
are something fearful 10 contemplate 1t
seems that the proverbia raSCaity of the
organization is beginning to turn on itself,
just as serpent IS said, when perplexed, to
bite its own body. 1t is freely rumored that
the nominations made at the Democratic
Convention in this State, and more especial
ly the platform adopted, were carried by
false counts of the votes on the part of the
Secretary. In Ohio, au open rupture has
been reached for the same reason. 1t is now
claimed that the nomination for Governor
was secured to the announced candidate by
a double count OF votes. SO serious is the
trouble That the State Committee has deter
aimed to meet and settle the trouble This
is not all indicative Of successful cam
paign. Out of the misunderstanding will
come heartburnings which, added to those
already engenleFed by the difficulty over the
platform, will scatter and disperse the party
and give to the Republicans an easy and
triumphant victory.

EARL RUSSELL moved an address to the
Queen from the British House of Lords op-
posing the Treaty OF Washington. Earl de
Grey and Ripon merely mentioned the pro-
gress of free trade in America, and Earl
Russell withdrew his motion. Now Earl
Russell is notorious for his dislike for this
country nor, indeed, are Englishmen, as a
body, believed to be in the habit of acting
against their own interests. Why then does
the prospect of free trade with this country
quiet them so completely, if we are to be
benefited thereby? Has true Christianity
So imbued the House of Lords that the
prospect Of the prosperity of rival nation
will induce them, like the wicked to cease
from troubling"

Ed. SCULL, of the Somerset Herald, thus
plants stunning blow in the tenderest spot
of his neighbor the Democrat,
A few years since the Somerset Demo
Cr0t was embellished with cut OF 'Scull
swallowing a negro We suggest that it
again be produced Tor the edification of the
Democrats of this county who are now, by
their State platform, ordered to attempt the
same feat. 1t would happily illustrate the
immutabe and Interchangeable principles OF
the Democratic party, and at the same time
prove, as Sam Patch did, that some things
can be done as well as others.

TIE Lincoln Institute of Jefferson City,
Missouri, is one of the proudest monuments
to the colored people in the country Some
six years ago, deeply impressed with the
importance of education, number of col
ored soldiers subscribed six thousand dollars
towards the establishment of college in
Missouri. The money was invested and a
fine college building worth 500, 900 is the
result, and besides the State has endowed
the Normal Department with an annuity of
So 600. The new building will be dedicated
on July 4th next The trustees are anxious
to secure we'll qualified instructors for the
coming year, and in order to accomplish
that end Rave issued circular stating that
Principal (maie) and assistant, either male
or female, are wanted. Applicants may be
white or colored The salaries are $4,000
for Principal and 81, 200 for Assistant.

The New York Evening Iost says ''the
United States raises by taxation about nine
dollars per head Of the population, and
pays off its debt out of this, at about eight
million dollars month; and that the city OF
New York raises by taxation twenty-five
dollars per head Of the population, and in
ours new debt al rapid rate besides. -
Would the finances Of the nation be safe in
the hands Of the Democracy? They would
double taxation and increase the national
debt at the same tino. Let Us have Grant

to the work of removing al difficulties in
the way of the transit in bond of foreign

licate fee business has been overcome, so
that now the goods only have to pay one set

THE difference between our plain Repub-

Earl de Grey and Ripou Is to be made Mar
quis of Ripon, as an acknowledgment Of
his services IN connection with the treaty of
Washington. Secretary Fish is generally
conceded to have done more than Earl de
Grey in developing the treaty. He will
probably never receive so much as vote Of

The New Hampshire Democrats have
determined TO hold the Granite State for a
few years if possible. The plan IS 10 CON
test the seats and turn out twenty five Re
publicans of the present legislature, and
then re-district the State for Congressman

Judiciary, and gerrymander to the iurthe>t
limit OF partisan calculation. And why
not? Rascality is a cardinal doctrine Of

THE free trade Democracy tactics are thus
exposed by the Reading Times:
The Democratic party has always been
opposed to the policy of protection, as their
votes fully attest. OF course there are a
few Democrats (as in the case of the last
session of Congress) who voted for low
tariff, but the bulk of their party are now,
and have always teen, committed to free
trade, which, in other words, means the de-
basement of the labor system OF this coun-
try, the contraction Of wages, and the inc
vitable ruin aud bankruptcy of every man
who is compelled to toll with his hands for
the maintainance of himself and family.
