MINNESOTA DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The Democratic State Convention as.
sembled at St. Paul, July 9TH, 1875. and
adopted the following platform:
The Democratic Republican party OF
Minnesota, in convention, assembled in.
vite our fellow-citizens to consider wbetb.
er the widely prevailing corruption in the
I conduct of public officers, in both State
ana nation, has not made it evident that
the dominant party should be deprived
OF the power which its leaders have of
late years so prostituted and abused: be-
llevlng that reform can only be inaugu
rated by selecting candidates and repre-
tlves not before connected with any of the
abuses, and who are known to be both
honest and capable, we present to the
people of Minnesota, as candidates for
their sutfrages, the gentlemen nominated
to-day, and declare the following to be
the principles which they represent:
1st, Resolved, That the adoption of
the Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth
Amendments TO the Federal Constitution
closed great era in our politics and
marked the end forever of human sla
very, and of the struggles that grew out
OF that system. These political amend
ments have been accepted in good faith
by all political organizations and the peo-
pie of all sections. Hereafter. all par
ties must stand upon them, and our pol /
ltlcs must turn on the questions of the /
present and future, and not of the set
tied and final past.
Second, That the National Govern
ment is government of limited and del
egated powers, supreme in its sphere.
while the great bulk of the rights of the
people must find their safeguard in the
States and the people themselves.
Third, That we are opposed to all at
empts to limit the freedom of the press
If the country.
Fourth, A return to gold and silver
is the basis of the currency of the coun-
ry, with preparation and effective meas
Tres to secure the resumption of specie
payments. ,
Fifth, A tariff for revenue only as |
consistent with an honest administration:
zone torS protection; no Government {
with protected monopolies. '
Sixth, Equal and exact Justice to all (
nen,. no partial legislation, no partial $
aXatiOn. {
Seventh, Free and uniform excise laws q
o sumptuary laws. h
Eight, Official accountability enforced a
y better civil and criminal remedies a
o private use of public funds by public /
Ulcers, and the strictest economy in all a
ublic affairs. r
Ninth, The party in power responsible /
'r the administration of the Government t
lille in power. I
Tenth, That all corporations chartered |,
r recognized by the State should be at v
i times supervisable by the State, in the il
lterests and for the protection of the
eople, against unjust discrimination and =
xOrtiOnate demand. "
After the adoption of the platform, :
le Convention made the following NOM
atIons for State officers.

They have decid- ed upon the use of horse power to run the blower to their furnace, and this in wolves building new furnaces; the old ones will be retained for odd jobs. Hon. s. R. DeLong has just returned from making careful survey of the mine just referred to, for the purpose of accurate location. The ore which they have in town from the mine runs up to 29 per cent. copper.

SAMUEL HUGHES, R. N. Leatherwood, John Bartlett and few others returned this week from an extended exploring and prospecting trip along our southern boundary from the Huachuca mountains east to the head of the San Simon valley. They report no mining discoveries, but grazing and farming lands. Plenty of water, grass, rich soil, timber, and as every one at all familiar with the country through here knows, the finest climate on earth. It is quite likely another trip will be made that way soon, and if we can get away, will try and help make it.

THE ARIZONA CITIZEN is for sale but not at a penny of sacrifice. Neither of the proprietors owe dollar on 1t or any other score, and they have several hundred dol lars worth of new material due here in two weeks. They have also decided to en- large the paper by adding four more col umns to it on or before July l, and adding somewhat to their length. As we have always said, just as soon as the business would justify the step, it would be enlarg- ed, and the measure is now decided upon. AS it is, we weekly print as much, and with due respect to others, as valuable Arizona matter as any paper in the Terri tory, and will continue to do so while we own the concern. The elder proprietor has always regarded the ownership of the paper burden, and his desire to rid him. self of it now is but little greater than at any time in the past, save that he expects to be absent some this and nearly half of next year. He has labored much harder and with more care on the paper than any but himself knows, and he knows the worth of the property better than any other one can. Having brought 1t past the point where he was obliged to draw upon his other income to meet it's current expenses, he don't propose, nor does his partner, to sacrifice anything in the sale, but will sell to the first party or parties who offer our price Tn cash, and that price is not dollar above the value Of the prop erty. In saying this much, we do not wish to be misunderstood, for we mean just what we say and nothing else. AS be- fore said, our arrangements are made and will continue to be made, just as though we never intended to part with it. We have over twenty fonts of new type and lot of other new material due soon, and other orders are out and will continue to go for still more material, for THE CITIZEN is a fixture, and in an enlarged form as soon as stated. If men who understand the business want paying property that has grown up and subsists upon strictly legitimate income, they need not fear to ness locals. not an editorial line in it has ever been paid for, nor can one ever be under the present management, nor need there be for fair income. It is establish ed on an independent basis and on that we will continue it.

?. LAZARUS has a lot of cotton seed due here by train of Goldberg next week. It would be good thing if our farmers gen. orally would procure some seed and plant an acre or two as an experiment. What has been done with cotton by MT. Ochoa of Tucson, MT. Holmes of Pueblo Viejo, and several parties In the Gila and Salt river valleys, proves almost conclusively that it can be made more profitable than grain growing, and we hope to see fair and general trial of 1t made throughout the valleys of Arizona.
