An Old.Line Democrats Views OF the
Late Democratic Convention.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
Iu your issue OF September 10 you refer to the
platform OF this Dody and say, in substance, that
it Is very good platform, but the next moment
admit that there Is nothing explicit In II except
the declara in favor OF payment OF the federal
debt in coin. You refer to the filth paragraph
the longest of the thirteen-and admit its obscu-
rity ana lack Of point This was but sample Of
the rest.
Now, let an oid-iine democrat say what he thinks
OF that Convention. It's nominations and its plat
form 1t was composed In due proportions, OF the
the mercenary, piebaid crowd whose trumpet the
windy Cochrane blows, and OF the old party hacks

submissvely followed their leaders from

shameful and disastrous than that which

curves of diamonds reaching to her waist,
around which she wore diamond girdle.
On the skirts of her dress in front were
two large peacocks wrought of lines Of
diamonds. There were rosettes of dia-
monds on her slippers. There were dia-
monds, large or small, but in every variety
and form, all oyer her dress and person
wherever they could be artistically placed.
She presented an extraordinary dazzling
spectacle A connoissuer in precious
