Current Notes.

The vagueness and incertitude of the st.
Louis platform, not to say its duplicity and
evasveness, are exposed in very strk-
ing way by the conflicting interpretations
already put upon lt.-N. Y. Ecening Post.
BY assiduous practice they (Tilden and
Hendricks) hope to be able to stand with
their legs stretched at an angle CT about one
hundred and sixty degrees without serious
inconvenience to themselves and to the great
admiration OF the public. Worcester Spy.
The Cincinnati Enquirer urges that the
Democratic fight for State officers and Con-
gressmen be made ON the Ohio greenback
platform, ignoring the hard-money platform
on which Tilden and Hendricks were nom
mated. Uncle William Allen offers similar
advice. 1t will be difficult to ignore national
platforms in a presidential year. The spec
tacle of the Ohio Democrats dehouncing
"hard-money until October, and then shoul-
dering and fighting for S'hard.money" plat
form until the presidential election, will be
interesting and instructive. The fellows who
run the machines can do it; but there are in
party ranks nowadays not a few who despise
political jugglery. Memphis Aualanche.
AT st. Louis there was not single colored
delegate, nor single voice raised for Justice
to the negro. To all Intents and purposes the
colored race, embracing nearly five million
souls and probably a million voters, was un-
represented in the Democratic convention,
and their rights and interests utterly ignored.
From this we infer, and We put it to any in
telligent man to say if the inference is not
true, that the Democratic party is the party
of caste, of political intolerance, of dwarfed
and narrow ideas, of mean and illiberal
prejudice. 1t cannot rise to the level of a
just conviction, or to the realization of a
broad and generous citizenship. It's idea of
model republic still is that one large class
of the population should be politically ostra-
cised.-Indtanoposs Journal, Rep.
Mr.. Bristow's letter to the President in
reply to the one the President addressed to
him giving him permission to testify before
the House Investigating Committee in regard
to any and all conversations had with him
relating to the prosecutions of the whiskey
ring is creditable to his Judgment and good
sense. There is a very wide difference be-
tween an investigation and an inquislton,
and we can conceive of no more impertinent
assumption of Unauthorized power than
for a committee of Congress appointed for
the purpose solely of obtaining facts in aid
of legislation, to put witness upon the
stand and pump him for mere opinions of
which he might have lear ned something in
the communications of official business or
confidence OF private friendship.-Boston

MISCELLANEOUS.
THE GREAT REPUTATION
Which VEGETINE has attained in all parts of the
country as
Great and Good Medicine,

and thelarge number of testimonials which are con-
stantly being received from persons who have been
cured by its use are conclusive proof of its great
value. 1t is recommended by physicians and apoth-
ecaries. As a Blo0d-Purifer and Health-Restorer,
it has no equal.
VEGETINE is not prepared for fancy drink made
from poor liquors, which debltates the system and
tends to destroy health instead of restoring it.
Are not the many testimonials given for the differ
ent complaints satisfactory to any reasonable persons
suffering from disease that they can be cured? Read
the different testimonials given, and no one can
doubt. In many of these the persons say that
their pain and suffering not be expressed, as in
cases OF Scrofula, where apparently, the whole body
was one mass OF corruption. If VEGETINE will re-
leve pain, cleanse purify and such Diseases
storing the patient to perfect health after trying diff
ferent physicians many remedies suffering for years.
is it not conclusive proof if you sufferer, you
can be cured? Why is this medicine performing
such great cures? 1t works in the blood, in the cir
cnlating fluid. It can be truly called the Great
Blood Purifier The great source of disease origin
ates in the blood and medicine that does not act
directly upon it, to purify and renovate has any just
claim upon public attention. When the blood be-
comes ifeless and stagnapt, either from change of
weather or climate want of exercise, irregular diet
or from any other cause, the VEGETINE will renew
the Blood carry off the putrid humors, cleanse the
stomach, regulate the bowels and impart tone of
vigor to the whole body. The conviction is, in the
public mind as well as in the medical profession, that
the remedies supplied by the Vegetabte Kingdom are
more safe, more successful, in the of disease
than mineral medicines. VEGETINE is composed Of
roots, barks, aud herbs. 1t is pleasant to take and
is perfectly safe to give infant Do you need it?
Do not hesitate to try it. You will never regret it.

FOR GOVERNOR,
SELDEN CONNOR.
Mr.. Wheeler's Letter.

The letter of Mr.. Wheeler accepting the
Republican nomination for the vice-presiden-
cy and defining his position upon the impor-
tant questions now before the country, is in
complete harmony with the excellent senti-
ments recently expressed by Gov. Hayes. In
the expression of his opinions Mr.. Wheeler is
frank and outspoken. He accepts the Re-
publican platform because it commits the
party to the preservation of those principles
of equality and freedom to maintain which
the blood and treasure of the North were
shed; because it declares that the nations
faith must be kept by the scrupulous payment
of every obligation incurred in the defence of
its government; because it guards and pro-
tects the common school system; because it
denounces fraud and corruption of every sort
and wherever found, and pledges the Repub-
lican party to regulate the civil service upon
a basis of honesty and capacity.
In defining his views upon the important
question of the treatment of the South, Mr..
Wheeler is peculiarly fortunate in being able
to refer TO his record. That record which is
SOAe"i'SN Al /" ioPOio AhouS ny hill W COL-
gress shows thorough comprehension of the
nature Of the troubles at the South, their
causes and their remedy, and has already
commended him to the intelligent men of
both parties. On the question of finance his
utterances are certainly free from ambiguity.
He interprets the Cincinnati platform as COM
mitting the party to the earliest possible re-
sumption of specie payment and the enact
ment of the necessary measures to bring
about this result. Civil service reform is to
him something more than sounding phrase.
1t means capable and economic administra-
ton of all departments of the government by
men of integrity and capacity.
The letter throughout is one which cannot
fail to be satisfactory to all the friends of good
government. Mr.. Wheeler speaks like man
who means what he says and who will use
his best efforts to redeem the pledges which
he makes for himself and the Republican
party. Good government, good will, good
money and universal prosperity are the prom
ises, as Mr.. Wheeler suggests, which the Re-
publican party makes to the conntry, and the
candidates have most conclusively proved that
they may be trusted to fulfill them.

Gov. TILDEN is receiving an embarrassing
amount of advice concerning his letter of
acceptance. The New York Herald and
Springfield Republican insist that he shall
tell the country what he thinks of such
butcheries as the Hamburg massacre and
whether he, like Mr.. Cox, considers them
proper subjects for coarse jokes and brutal
humor, and Mr.. Tilden apparently does not
want to. Doubtless such butcheries fill Mr..
Tilden with as much horror as they do any
other decent man, but they have been an i'm
portant element in securing Democratic ma
jorities in the southern states in the past, and
it won't do to lose those states this year.
