yThe New York Tribune sees
grave danger to Radicalism in the Dem
ocratic platform adopted by our late
Convention, and avows it has no sneers
for the position Of the Ohio Democracy
on the subject of the amendments. The
odore Tilton, in the Golden Age, goes
further and declares that it has "no SYM
pathy with the disposition manifested by
those Republicans who want to see the
Democrats as much in the wrong and as
little in the right as possible. On the
contrary, The nearer right both parties
are, the better for the country The
Golden Age candidly admits that the
Ohio platform, so far as it relates to the
constitutional amendments, will probably
be the Democratic platform for the next
Presidential campaign, land it frankly ex-
presses its apprehensions Of the result.

days since he was off with young jim
Bennett in his yacht. Standing at
distance of twenty-five yards, Mf, Ben
nett held between his thumb and fingers
a small clam shell, which a ball from
Hackett's pistol broke to pieces. An

was also shivered in the same way. The
yacht meanwhile was rolling like q, era
