The following is the platform of the labor re-
form party of this state, adopted at their CON
ventOn in South birmingham on Wednesday
Preamble-We affirm as a fundamental princi-
pie, that labor the creator Of wealth, Is entitled TO
all It creates. Affirming this, we avow ourselves
willing to accept the final results Of the operation
of principle so radical, such as the overthrow of
the whole profit making system; the eX tinction OF
all monopolies the abolition OF privileged classes
an extended rather than restricted franchise /;
universal education and fraternity perfect freedom
OF exchange; and, best and grandest of ALL the
final ObiteraiOn of that foul stigma upon our chris
tian civilization, the poverty OF the masses.
Resolved, That we demand the passage of a law
to protect all women and minors from being en-
Ptoyeu IioIe tnah zen hours per uay % Sky noufs
per week in the manufacture Of textile fabrics in
this commonwealth.
Resolved, that the downfall of tho Shareholders
rebellion, the abolition of chattel slavery and the
enfranchisement of the blacks has lifted American
politics up to the level OF labor reform that 1t Is
longer the color OF race bnt the poverty of class
that now most endangers the republic,
Resolved, that we are opposed to the present sys-
TEN of finance, which rObs labor and gOTges
capital makes the rich richer and the poor poorer,
and turns the republic into an aristocracy Of cap
ital
Resolved, that we protest against the lavish
grants of the public lands to speculative companies
and whenever In power we pledge ourselves to use
every Just and legal means to revoke all such grants
heretofore made.
Resolved that we regard the reports of the Mas
sachusetts bureau OF labor statistics as an invalua
BILE contribution to labor literature, and that we
earnestly recommend its continuance.
Resolved that we oppose the system Of enriching
capitalists by the creation and increase of public
Understanding debts.
Resolved that we demand an amendment to the
acts of Incorporation for cities and towns requiring
them to adopt the eight hour rule in the employ
ment of all mechanics and day laborers. and the
same hours TO apply to the same class at work for
the state, whether directly or indirectly, through
persons, firms or corporations contracting with the
state,
Resolved, that we hereby call the attention OF
workingmen TO the fact that President Grants adj
ministration fails TO enforce the national eight hour
law except IN very few localities where Its friends
are numerous and active in its behalf; that the la.
Dor employed upon custom and lighthouses most
offices, naval and military forti6cations the i'm
and other works in remote or ont of the way nfaces
and very much Of the labor that can be c0nstru ed
as coming under cases of special contract is done in
violation and contempt of law TO crafty the nate OF
the capitalist classes Tor the eight hour system.

and began by giving brief account of the pros
perity of the people which the flag represents
in past years and the protection which the flag
affords TO the citizens of the United States in
every country. He referred TO the names upon
the flag as the names of two men who have rem
dered the country more service than any other
two men. He referred to the words of Horace
Greeley in 1871, when he said that
Grant would be much better qualified
to assume the duties of president than
he was in 1868, and yet to-day he is the
foremost of the party who are bringing charges
against his administration. He referred to
Henry Wilson as one whose name is identified
with the reform that has enlightened the consti-
tuition with the three great amendments which
those who now support Horace Greeley have in
every way opposed. In closing he called upon
all republicans to Join political club at once,
and organize in such manner that in Noyem-
Der every voter will be brought TO the polls.
+. A. Gaskill, Esq, was next introduced to
the assembly. He considered that in assembling
they were expressing the belief that upon the
flag is represented what is near and dear to us
all. The flag is the emblem of unity and is fit
tingly adopted by the republican party as EN-
blematic of the principles which that party
represents with that grand old soldier, who,
once at least, has sealed the union of the states.
He did not wish TO see a man elected to the
highest office in the country whom he did not be-
leve had sufficient capacity to meet the require
mentS Of the office when it is the pride of every
American citizen to have a president who shall
l,,,. a.,
if Greeley should be elected, he would be more
liable to be the tool of the party who could poll
8,OO0,OOO votes for him, than of that body who
cannot poll 100000 In closing he called upon
every one TO join in the work, and in November
help to swell the majority which Grant is sure
to receive.
j. F. Manning, Esq, was the last speaker of
the evening, and said that he could not refuse
to utter a few words in behalf of the platform
the names upon the flag represent. He believed
it to be the duty of every one to enroll himself
at once in some political club, and not wait
until he thought he could jump upon the win
ming side, as few of our fellow citizens did
when they heard the first reports from North
Carolina. He also believed that by giving
Grant crushing majority, it would settle the
strife between the free and slave states forever.
lie then compared Horace Greeley with the old
cider barrel which had been so often repaired
that nothing but the bung hole OF the original
was left In concluding, he considered that the
republicans of New York state have nominated
a man for governor who is as sure to carry the
state for Grant in November as the republicans
are TO carry Massachusetts
This closed the speech making and amid the
firing of the cannon and music from the band,
the crowd dispersed

A Fnmilr or Ei,c pcr.on. Murdered

MARYsvILE, Mo-, Aug. 22.--An atrocious
murder was brought to light yesterday by the
arrest of man named Osborne at Clelmont
small town twelve miles northwest of this city
1t appears that Osborne was travelling with
team and covered wagon, and stopped for some
purpose, when some men were attracted to the
wagon by the stencil proceeding from
it, Upon an examination of the wagon five
dead bodies were found. Osborne confessed,
at the end of rope, that the murders were COM
mitted by one Williams, near Holton, Kansas
and that he (Osborne) was compelled to take the
bodies out of the way. He confessed that he
had Travelled with this load five days. From
memorandum found on the body of one of the
victims it was inferred that they were a party of
movers, consisting Of Mr.. Oms, his wife and two
children, and a young man named Dickinson,
who is supposed to be Il brother of Mrs. Oms.
The last memorandum made by the young man
was at or near Cotton. The coroner held an in
quest yesterday, and the bodies were buried at
Cermont. Sheriff Wray has just returned here
and says he thought he saw the prisoner at
Clermont. The people would not give him up
1t is thought Osborne will be executed by the
people who have him in charge.

HOLDEN BOYS IN TRoUBLE.-Two brothers
named Lee, aged Is and IS years. came to this
city from Holden, yesterday morning, with the
intention of going to Providence. While waiting
for the train they INDUCED in a walk around the
city, in which they met two meu, with whom
they went into saloon at the corner of Grafton
and Water streets. Here they were asked by
the two men whom they had encountered to
have some beer, and the older one drank two
glasses, that had the effect of confusing his
mind. While in this condition he went into a
back room adjoining the saloon, being followed
by his new acquaintance, one of whom knocked
him down and held him while the other went
through his pockets, taking what money he
could find Dennis Maoney, the proprietor of
the establishment, heard of the affair and caused
the arrest of the two men, who gave their names
as George Donovan and William Putney. Upon
arriving at the station house they confessed and
wanted to settle the affair, which they will have
chance to do in the court room this morning.
