Two Views OF the MustnnS Race.
New York, May 10.
Speaking of the mustang race, the
Sun says that had the rider altered the
direction of his ride with every horse,
and had he been properaly fed, it is
more than likely that he could have
made the distance in the specified
time. The physician who attended
him when he broke down is at a loss
{ ccount for his sudden loss of sight
of one eve. 1t was not that he had
lost pluck, but he had no physical
strength to back it. He had foolishly
ridden the race wholly in one direc
ton, a most fatiguing exercise.
He had spent his best half OF the day
without food and had filled his heated
body with cold water. He was almost
unable to steady himself on horseback,
and those who saw him were appre-
hensive he might either drop or be
thrown from SONS Of the horses. FL
naIly, at 3:25, as he finished the 226th
mile, and was supposed TO be about to
mount the relay ut the right-hand form
he staggered like u drunken man, and
feeling along in front of the Judges
stand as a maj moves in the dark, with
hands outstretched, he entered the
doorway. reeled one way and another,
and dropped into a chair. From the
chair he fell heavily into the arms OF
the rancheros and hostlers. They laid
him on the floor and bathed his head
until the physician arrived. ~ am
stone blind" the PROSTATE rider ex
claimed; "Oh, I shall never see again.
The physician examined the riders
eyes; the vision had really gone from
one of them. He told Parker the all
ment was only temporary, and urged
him to mount his horse and continue
the race. Parker said painfully ~ am
blind, | can never ride any more! If
was not so l would yet win the race"
Others urged the rider to mount and
ride again. To them he replied: You
want to kill me; l am not strong
enough to move" With difficulty he
was raised to his feet. The physician
asked him questions, and he replied
that his eyes were V diseased, and
he did not think anything had struck
or blinded his right eye. Seven or
eight thousand spectators clamored flu
rioasly for the rider to appear and ride
| again. The numbers increased by train
and wagon loads, and the utmost ex-
element prevailed when they saw the
exhausted rider borne along The track
to his lodging place in the arms of his
companions. They watched him until
he disappeared behind the outbuild.
ings, and then, without further demon
stration, quietly dispersed. A long
train OF business men, hurrying to the
track, arrived just "a the foremost

the depot, and all returned together.

Two PLATFORMS.

Our Geographic columns to-day pre-
sent two remarkable documents for
our consideration. The first is the
platform adopted last Wednesday by
the Ohio Democratic State Convention;
the second, the declaration of princi-
pies of the National Independent
Greenback Convention in session at
Indianapolis.
The platform adopted at Cincinnati
was reported by a minority Of the
committee, and was only substituted
for tie majority report by a majority
Of 6S in a total vote of 66S. Much con
fusion ensued and the small majority
in favor of the obnoxious financial
principles laid down leaves a glimmer
of hope that the Ohio delegation at st.
Louis will not be a unit in pressing
those principles upon the National
Convention. The platform means the
initiation of an already inflated and ir-
redeemable currency, and demands
the immediate and unconditional re-
peal of the Resumption act" We
have frequently and earnestly indi-
Gated our position as unalterably OPP
posed to these principles; and ii they
be successfully forced upon the st.
Louis Convention we believe it will be
the death-knell Of the Democratic
party. The convention filled the meas
ure of its iniquities by passing owe
the name of the ablest and purest man
in their party, a resident of and United
States Senator from their W State,
and presenting for the presidential
office the name of VIM. Allen, who,
last fall, led the party to a Waterloo
defeat upon the very same issues now
again presented.
There are, however, some grains OF
wheat amidst the worthless chaff OF
their resolutions. OF such we regard
their declaration in favor of the sub
stitution of Treasury notes for the is
sue of the National Banks; that de-
manding that the General Government
alone shall issue a legal tender cur.
rency, whether coin or paper; and par
ticnlarly the following resolution:
Resolped, That public policy and a
sense of common Justice require that
the silver issued by the Government
should be a legal tender in pay
ment of all debts public and private,
and that we demand an unconditional
repeal Of the SO called Silver act so far
as the same limits the amounts for
which silver coinage shall be q legal
tender.
The Independent National Green
back party (Heavens, what a name!,
out erods Herod in its declaration
for imitation, and save in so far as it is
a tissue of absurdities and glitterine
g~eneralities, may be considered as ad,
~vocating reputation. 1t adds to its
unblushing folly by declaring against
silver as a circulating medium in any
shape or form. The convention of this

The MUSTANG RACE. = Dispatches
from New York convey to us two diff
ferent views of the recent mustang
race. The Sun enters into an elabor.
ate dissertation upon the causes which
led to the prostration of Parker, the
vaquero, and gives at length all the
circumstances OF the event. The Times
says shortly and sharply that it was
all a job, and chat nc money was up.
1t is noticeable in the SUMS account
that no one saw the blinded and disa-
bled (?) rider save his companions
and his Own physician. C%alifornians
moreover, knew that a greater feat has
been performed time aud again by less
competent men than Parker. We in
cline to the opinion of the Times that
it was all a job, unless, indeed, as we
suggested yesterday that the poor vi
salian fell a victim to the resultant eff.
fects of the villainous crooked whisky
retailed in those parts,

whisky Frauds.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 10.
The investigation at the Bay View
distillery will probably be completed
to .day. The officials in charge of the
work still remain reticent, but enough
has leaked ont to make it certain that
the case is very strong against the pro-
p~rielors of the distillery.
Relative to tho dispatches recently
received from Washington, stating
that advices from San Francisco re-
port that charges had been preferred
against the special revenue agents
here who are engaged in investigating
the whisky frauds, those officials
state that they are not aware of any
such proceedings having been institut-
ed and are disposed to consider the re-

THE wARLIxE DEMOCRACY.

Certain Democratic editors are foolish
enough to seriously advocate placing
Tiidsn in the Presidential chair BY force
OF arms, II the Democracy cannot Snug
gle him in BY any other means. Those
editors are net Of the practical fighting
kind. Such barking dogs generally get
out Of the way when they SEQ . kick or
a fight coming. II they really feel like
fighting they had better go down South
and start in. But they. like all the val
liant Northern douehfaees. are only anr-
ious for war provided the South will do
the fighting. The South. however. pre-
fsrs to have the blood spilled in the
North this time. The Courier Joarna.
says: III war should come. IL would be
fought elsewhere than in the South.
II would DO brought home TO every
Northern door. The Northern Demo-
crat would DO fighting for his political
rights. prompted by the same spirit
which . hundred years ago inspired his
ancestors" But this betnys a woeful
misconception Of the character Of the
clustering typo OF tho Northern Demo-
crat. The lighting that comes home to
his own door is not the sort that he Is
after.
1t 10 gratifying to notice. however.
that the real fighting stock Of the South.
the f~ire-eaters and leading men, such as
Ben Hill. Of Georgia. and Lamar. OF
Mississippi. come out squars-footed in
opposition to extreme They
might have favored ~bull.dozins I"
and other effectual methods Of lie
terring the black as well a. tie
white Republican voters OF the South
from having q fair show at the
polls. but they do not feel like entering
upon another four years war with a
prospect Of q bloodier and more dis
astrous one than the last. They want
no more rebellion. They tell Fernando
Wool aud the other Northern Demo-
Gratis, who are willing to stir NJ aD-
other war. that the South does not call
for it. aud that /: they will persist in
fomenting another irstricidal strife they
may do the fighting themselves. The
most sensible statesmen on both sides
are exhibiting u very commsndablr
spirit Of mutual Cancellation. and q
willingness to settle the whole political
dispute upon the basis Of sound common
seuss aud reason. And thus 1t will b,
settled. II is only the hot.headed fool,
and deusgosuos which disgrace the
political arena. Who call for war. aud
those fellows won't fight.
