The PLATFORM presented by the
Republican State Convention is
everything that could have been ex-
pected by the people. Its unquali-
fed denunciation of Credit Mobillier
transactions, and the salary steal,
with the demand for the unqualified
repeal of the increased salary
clause, show conclusively that as q
party Republicans will not endorse
measures Of an equivocal character,
and that they are ready to repudiate
at all times those of their former
leaders, who forget their responsible
ity to the party and the people, in
the performance of their public du-
ties. This declaration of principles
has placed the Republican Party of
Ohio in the front rank, and the
hearty endorsement the platform has
received abroad, is an assurance that
when other State Conventions are
held, the platform of the party in
Ohio will be the key note upon
which their resolutions will be based.
There is not a principle enunciated
but will be heartily endorsed by the
people.

TIE liquor question is one that
will engage much of the attention Of
the Constitutional Convention. A
strong committee have the matter
in charge, and every proposition
will be thoroughly discussed from
license to local option. As there is
no likelihood that a prohibitOry
clause can be introduced-itis is prob
able that the principles of the Adair
Law, license and local option,will be
embraced, thus regulating the traffic
so as to make dealers responsible for
injurious effects, and at the same
time allowing the people of each
locality to determine whether the
traffic shall be carried on in their
midst.

about week ago, a band of some
sixty Modocs. nearly one-half the
tribe, deserted Captain Jack and
surrendered unconditionally. Among
the prisoners are Bogus Charley,
Hooka Jim the Lost River murderer,
Shack Nasty Jim and Curly Headed
Doctor. These were some of Cap

end the war soon. The question

THERE is a prospect of border
war on the Rio Grande. General
Mckenzie was sent some time ago
to watch the KickapOo Indians, who
had been accustomed to cross the
border between Mexico and Texas
for the purpose of robbing and
plundering Americans, and then re-
reating across the river for safety.
Mckenzie recently made raid upon
them, on Mexican Territory, killing
some thirty or forty of them. This
was doubtless a meritorious act in
itself especially as the provocation

THERE is a growing sentiment in
favor of the cumulative system
of voting. In Pennsylvania the
Constitutional Convention has in
corporated a clause to that effect, so
far as the Office of Supreme Judge
is concerned, whenever there are
two or more places to fill. The
clause provides that at elections for
Supreme Judge, the voter shall have
as many votes as there are judges to
elect, and may give all his votes to
one candidate, or divide them among
the candidates as he chooses. They
did not deem it advisable to intro
duce general change until the fea-
ture had been tested.

took place from the First Baptist

conducted the services. The re.

cession, including organized socie-

tinguished officers Of the army, the
governor and other state officers,
senators and representatives in Con-
gress, and some officers and soldiers
of the war of 1872, the Mexican
War, and the late war. Among the
distinguished generals present we're
Sherman and Sheridan.

THE President has issued a
Proclamation in regard to
Louisiana affairs. The defacto
government is sustained, and
the whole power of the government
will be used to reduce the rebellious
if necessary. The enemies of the
President will doubtless charge usur-
patton of power, and all that, but to
those who understand the matter at
all, they will see that there was no
other course left openlto him. Ad-
hitting the fact that frauds were
practiced on both sides in the late
elections, and that if justice were
done neither set of officers claiming
to have been elected would be rec
ognized, choice had to be made.
The matter was carried to the high
est State Court, and there declared
in favor of Kellogg. 1t was then
carried to the United States Court
and the position Of the State Court
sustained. The decision is therefore
the law to which the actions of the
President must conform. lie has
no alternative, and until Congress
reassembles and takes such action
as the nature of the case requires,
the duty of the President to enforce
the decree of the Courts is unmis
taxable.
He called the attention of Con
gress to the matter, and desired it to
take some action in regard to it, but
the matter was passed over, and its
failure to do anything can only be
taken as q tacit acceptance of the
decree OF the Courts. Congress and
the Courts are alone responsible for
the situation. 1t is to be hoped
that all resistance may now cease,
and that no collision may occur be-
tween the people and the govern
ment.

WooDHULL d CLAFFLN's WEEKLY
of May 18th is entirely devoted to
the Beecher-Tilton Scandal, which it
gives in all its details. Tilton's let
ter, given to the public some time
since, would indicate something
rotten in Denmark" and this fresh
iteration of charges against Beecher
is so serious and apparently so true,
that even his own denial, at this late
day, will scarcely relieve him from
tue odium of the charge. His 81
lence now can only be regarded as
evidence of guilt; and if Plymouth
church continues to retain him as
its minister without entire proof Of
his innocency which it can give to
the public, it can only be regarded as
a congregation for which he is a fit
minister.
