TH1 DEMoCRATIC PLATFORM.

The Representatives of the Demo
cratis and Conservative party of Ten
Inessde, in convention assembled, most
/ cordialiy invite all good and true men,
! who dszIre to increase the prosperity
of tln people of the State, aud pre-
serve her honor untarnished, touRite
with rs In following out the following
| principles, to-wit:
l. That all honest labor should be
protected, and receive its Just reward.
2. That the burden OF government
should be borne by the whole proper
/ ty Of the country; that all assessments
of taxes should be equal, uniform and
| Just, and no improper discrimina-
/ tiOlrshOuld be made against any spe-
ciesfof property.
3. That we favor a strict cOnstruc-
tiOn of the Constitution of the United
States, and insist that no power should
be exercised by the General Govern
ment that is not clearly delegated or
clearly implied in the necessary exer-
else of the powers so delegated.
A. That we oppose all monopolies,
rIDgs and combinations formed for
the oppression of the people; that we
are for the abolition of all uselesrS-
unnecessary Offices; for the proper re-
ductiOn of all excessive salaries; for
the most rigid economy in the admin
istration of the State Government; for
all necessary reforms IN the law so as
to make its execution speedy, Just and
certain; that we viii hold the collec-
tors of revenue to a strict accounta-
bility in the collection and applica-
ton of said revenue; that we deplore
the existence of ali indebtedness, Fed
eral, State, county and municipal,
aud demand that no more taxes shall
be laid upon the people than shall be
found essentially necessary for the
support of the State Government ad-
ministered on principles of-ilae most
rigid economy, and for the payment
of its just debts and obligations and
for the preservation of its credit and
honor untarnished, and are therefore
opposed to an increase of taxation.
3. That we favor the abolition of
the present odious national banking
system and the payment of the bonds
of the government by issuance of its
non-bearing interest notes according
to the contract expressed and implied
at the time osEsne creation of such
eeisiigations, ald q repeal of the pres
eat oppIessivs Federal tariff, and the
enactment oe law solely with a view
70 the eollectioa of the necessary rev.
enue-
6. That We denounce all legislation
that seeks to interfere with the indi-
Fidual right Of the citizen to select
his own associates, and particularly
what I 5 known as the supplementary
Civil Rights bill pending before the
Pederal Congress as a palpable viola
ton Of the Constitution, intended to
vex, harass, oppress and degrade the
people of the Southern States, and
productive of untold social and politi-
cal evils to both races, and which we
should resist by all legal and consti-
tutional means in our power" F"

FALL HEAD-GEAR FOR THE FAIR
ONES. No change is announced
for autumn bOnnets and hats; white
straw and black straw or chip are
popular, trimmed with black vel
vet, as they have been all summer;
but q bit Of color is added il red
roses, q bright bird, or bows of
deop red velvet. A pretty foreign
fashion for common hats is to trim
with a plain scarf and stiff dark
wing. Two colors are very pOpu-
lar here for hat trimmings, and the
same effect is produced by a wide,
double-faced ribbon of two shades.
The trimming up Of the side brims
gains in favor it has jaunty and
youthful look, and offers great ad-
yantages for coquettish arrange
ments Of flowers and small bows.
Well managed by a pretty girl, it
is q charming affair: but perched
above q faded and wrinkled face, or
surmounting 4 mature one, like a
full-blown peony, it is not captiva-
ting. \ great many bennets are
made of the materials of the dress
with which they are worn, cash
mere trimmed with velvet and
manufacturer offer a new kind OF
finished hats Of velvet or felt. The
felt are Of all shades and qualities,
the velvet has a glossy, silky sur
face, and, prettily trimmed, make
good, inexpensive hats.

RAPE AND MURDER.-A young
lady of good family, residing in
Henderson county, KY, while out
walking one evening of last week,
was suddenly seized by three fiends
in human shape, benefciarics OF
the Civil Rights Bill and carried
to the woods, when her tongue was
cut out to prevent her cries, and
her person outraged by each OF
them in turn until their unnatural
lust was satisfied. Her prolonged
absence causing uneasiness, search
was instituted and her body discov-
cred on the following day. The
whole country was soon aroused,
and the perpetrators of this hellish
deed caught, and made to pay the
penalty of their crimes with their
lives.
Again, on last Saturday, four mon
pursued and caught a negro at Ed
gar Station, on the Mississippi Cen
tral Railroad, and hung him to a
tree. He was charged with having
committed a rape on a white We
man living at Fort Jefferson on tho
same road. BIr. Editor, is this the
seed Chas. Sumner intended SOW

Rights Bill? If so, it is working

The full returns of the vote on
the proposed new constitution in
Ohio reveal an unexpected result on
the proposition to permit licenses
for the sale of liquor to be granted.
While the constitution is defeated
by the overwhelming majority of
147, ,2S5, the aRti-liccnse majority is
1886. If the election means any
thing then IL means that Ohio is a
liquor-prohibition State The vote
will greatly encourage the political
prohibitionists 20 keep up their or
ganization, and to carry the liquor
question into the contests for the
legislative seats The entire vote
on the constitution was light, the
total being 36I, ,4S0. In the Presi-
Dental election 529,426 votes were
cast. There will be no moro con-
stitutien-making In Ohio for a de-
cade at least. AS the people ap-
pear TO prefer 10 jog along under
their old, Qnmsy, and insufficient
constitutional will not be easy to
induce men capable OF preparing 4
new instrument to devote their time
and labor to the cause again. Six
months we're given by Chief-Justice
Waite and his fellow-members Of

the careful preparation Of the new
constitution; and when it was sub
mitted to vote but 1928 out of

A recent medical writer says: "Sleep
wherever you can-anywhere when you get
chance; the want Of the age is Sleep"
rhls is not always safe to follow, as one of
our townsmen (says contemporary knows
to his sorrow. He was recently afflicted
with a bad cold, and to cure himself of it re-
sorted to the remedy OF putting his feet in
hot water and drinking a tumblerfull of strong
whiskey toddy, prescribed by an aged and
respected friend OF the family. Having oot
everything in order for carrying out the pre-
scription, he sat down by the fire, his feet
immersed in warm water, and tumber of
smoking toddy by his si,le. In this condi-
tion sense of enjoyment stole over him as
he slipped the exhilarating liquid, and he fell
asleep. His wife had gone to bed, and, on
awakening about three o'clock in the morning
wondered why she was alone. Going down
stairs she was Mortified to find her liege lord
aleep in his chair, the fire ont, his feet still
immersed in the water, over which cake of
Ice was forming, and an empty tumbler on
the chair beside him. His cold isn't a bit
better
