OoAO AsOPWDAlcan Platform.
The Republicans Of Ohio, in conven.
ton assembled, reaffirming the car
dinal principles Of their organization,
which have become received maxims
Of policy, State and national, declare
on specific points the series of senti.
ments following: 81
l. The States are one as q nation,
and all citizens are equal under the
laws, and entitled to their fullest pro-
lection.
2. That . policy of finance should be
steadily pursued which, without any
unnecessary shock to business or trade
shall ultimately equalize the purchss-
Ing capacity of the coin and paper dol
lar.
3. We are in favor of tariff for rev.
enue, with Incidental protection to
American industry,
4. We stand by free education, our
public school system, the taxation OF
oil for its support, and no division of
the school fund.
8. Under our Republican system of
government there should be NO con-
nection, direct or indirect, between
church and state, and we oppose all
legislation in the interest of any par
ticular sect. Upon this subject we
should not fail to profit by the expert
ence OF foreign governments. The ef.
forts of the church to control the state
constitute an evil Of great magnitude.
and endanger the power and prosper
ity Of the people.
6. We demand such q revision of
the patent laws 90 will relieve industry
from the oppression of monopolies in
their administration.
z. A grateful people can never cease
to remember the services of our sol.
diers and sailors and it 10 due to them
that liberality and generosity should
obtain In the adjustment of pay and
bounties.
8. That we demand that the public
domain shall be scrupulously reserved
for occupancy by actual settlers.
8. The determination of the govern
ment 70 collect the revenues and pre-
vent and punish frauds has our un.
qualified approval.
10. That the power of municipal cor.
pofations to create debts should be re-
stricted, and local and other expendi-
lures should be 90 reduced as to dimin-
ish taxation.
IL. The observance Of WashingtoM's
example In retiring at the close OF .
second Presidential term will be in the
future, % it has been in the past, re.
garded as q fundamental rule in the
unwritten law Of the Republic.
IL. The distinguished success of his
administration, which, to the fame of
the patriot and soldier, has added that
of the capable and judicious states
man, entities President Grant to the
gratitude Of his countrymen.

Tho Power of magination.

From The Utica Herald.
An old lady in Philadelphia, Jetler-
son county, acquired the habit of using
morphis. After using it for relief
from the pains Of tumor, no persua-
sions could induce her to give up the
poison. Her family finally united in
. deception, substituting carefully
prepared potato starch in morphia
bottles. At first she thought the sup
posed drug an inferior article, but her
physician, who was in the secret, as-
sured her that it was all right, and sho
was satisfied. She continued to nso
the article for fifteen years, and to tho
day Of her death, and could not do
without it, never having learned tho
deception. AT one time when she was
was i'll tho physici gave her Dover's
powders, but she could not rest after
taking them until she took her starch
morphia.

ate the one nationality. Like most Of
his pArtisans, however, he talks great
deal about the preservation Of the
Constitution. He lirst takes up seces-
sion, and pretty plainly admits that the
South yields the point that States have
no right Of secession. He next takes
up coercion. In regard TO this we
quote his language - follows. He
says: "Cosrcioa was simply adopted

PoTTsvILLE, June ga dispatch re-
ceived here this morning from Mahon-
ing City, says that large crowds of
men from Hazleton, arrived in that
city this morning, compelling all they
met to 60 with them to stop the mi
ners who resumed work on Monday
last.
There are about 100000 men now
marching from colliery to colliery
compelling the miners to stop work.
They visited Silliman's, Steels
Lentzs,, Bowen's and Bowman's col
lieries, Bowman's miners stopped
work on account of the refusal of an
advance in wages. Troops have been
applied for.
At 80 to-day it was reported that
only part of Bowman's and Lentzs'
men had stopped work.
The situation is becoming more crit
ical hourly. Citizens of Shenandoah
applied for military aid, as large bodies
of miners are coming on the town to
compel the suspension of work.
Deputy Sheriff Heister, now here
with a posse of fifty men, will be un-
able to protect the working miners.
Gov. Hartranft has telegraphed from
Williamsport to General Segfried
here, directing him to cali out the
military in case the Sheriff is unable
to disperse the mob.
Troops in other quarters have been
ordered to hold themselves in readi-
ness. The troops here are assembling
at their respective armories.
PoTTsvILLE, June 4.-The collieries
compelled to suspend work yes
terday on account OF the raiders re-
sumed work this morning. 1t is
thought necessary to retain the troops
for several days to insure q continu-
ancsof work.
At Mt. Carmel, Nelson's Chemick &
Cos, colliery was burned last night
by mob. The excitement continues.
In the vicinity of St. Clair one
thousand men and boys were in line
this morning coming from Glencar-
bon, Hucksherville, and adjacent
towne.
The miners working in Deering's 81
Co.'S, mines were driven from work
| by the strikers.
