THE DEMOCRATIC DEMONSTRATION.
The Jackson Democratic Association Decline
to Participate.

The jackson Democratic Association held
meeting last night for the purpose of deciding
upon the question of their participation in the
proposed Democratic demonstration on the
29th instant. Mr.. Columbus Alexander, DR..
Culver and others took part in the debate.
The discussion turned mainly upon the posi-
bility of disturbance on that day.
Mr.. Columbus Alexander thought that, in
the event of a procession, some slight dis
turbance might arise which would, in the en-
thusiasm of the moment, develop into riot.
The troops would be called out and innocent
people killed. r.. .a..
Mr.. W.P. Bell offered the following.
Resolred, That in obedience to the notice of
our citizens whose interests are identical with
ours, and in favor of peace and quiet in our
city, we decline for ourselves to participate in
the proceedings Of the 10Th instant, and that
the executive committee of this association ex-
press its dissent to any political demonstration
at this time, and until perfect peace reigns
throughout the land. rfr
The resolution met with favor, aud was
adopted.

The Democratic Platform.

The st. Louis platform seems to have
been made especially for the candidate. 1t
is SO utterly inconsistent with the past his
tory and the present beliefs of the party that
it must have been deliberate attempt at
gross deception Its high pretensons give
strength 10 that belief. It declares in favor
of hard money, and yet aims deadly blow
at the only practical step which has been
taken toward the resumption of specie pay
ment. II declares in favor of rule by the
majority, while the party, by its iniimida-
tons in the South, has determinedly sought
TO keep the majority out of its rights. 1t
processes TO acqniesce in the constitutional
amendments, while the party has uniformly
and unanimously opposed every one of those
amendments, and did not admit TO its Ma
tional Convention a single representative of
the four millions to whom those amendments
gave the rights of citizenship. 1t declares
in favor of civil service reform, although
the party first proclaimed the doctrine that
"to the yictors belong the spoils," and
has relentlessly seized all the Offices its sue
cesses have placed within its reach-dnd IN
tends 10 no so in he future. Indeed, the lead
ing Tilden organ in New York makes very
prominent the point that, in case the Repub-
licans succeed there will be no clean sweep
of the oilice-holders. 1t declares in favor OF
reform, although the party has been the pro

We all remember how our venerable ex-
Vice President lIaInln and Senator Ram
sey, Of Minnesota, who were the authors Of
the present outrageous postage law, protested
that it was mistake that had slipped
through in the hurry of the closing hours of
The session, and that it would be corrected
the very first thing on the reassembling of
Congress. But Congress has been in session
seven months now and yet we have had no
effort on the part of either lIamlin or Ram
sey TO correct their so-oalled "mistake."
The express companies continue 10 reap their
harvest, and the people are still taxed to pay
for IIamlin and Ramsey's blunder. The
people and the newspapers would like ex-
ceedingly to have chance through the
ballot box to express their opinion of these
honorable Senators. They would bury them
so deep that they would never be heard of
again in this world.
The present postage law is an outrage
upon the people and the press. 1t is a tax
such as no other business in the country is
called upon to stand There is not pub
Usher in the country who is able to collect
from subscribers anything like the amount
of postage he is compelled to pay, and yet
some of our sapient national Legislators
gravely propose to more than double this
outrageous tax upon knowledge We warn
these gentlemen that If they are particularly
anxious to be the principal parties to some
first-class political funerals they are in a fail

Carl Schurz's Position.

All question as to the attitude of Carl
Schurz in this Presidential campaign is
ended. In an article over his own signature
in the ltes1icLe Pod-his st. Louis paper
he states the conclusive objections to the
democratic ticket and platform, and the con-
vincing reasons why every honest friend of
a sound currency must support Hayes and
Wheeler. Tho argument with which he en-
forces this position is calm, candid aud UNI
answerable. II treats the question in a
moderate dispassionate, statesmanlike man
ner, which appeals TO the judgment Of every
reasoning man. Mr. Schurz shows that nine
tenths Of the inhationists and regulators
belong to the democratic party; that in
every contest between sound currency and
false currency the Republican party has
been on the right side and the democratic
party on the wrong side that the initiation
lists and regulators Of the democracy have
carried their one special point in the plat
form that they have succeeded in placing
their chief second ON the ticket and that
in the face Of direct population of the re-
sumption promise and of the possibility of
President like Hendricks, no friend of an
honest currency can support the democratic
ticket.
This declaration, emphasized with such
irresistible reasoning, POSSESSES great i'm
portance, Mr. Schurz has not acted with
the Republican party since 1871. lie was
the most influential leader in the liberal
delegation of 1879. lie was the foremost
man in the independent movement of this
year lie Is the most conspicuous and able
representative in the whole country of that
body Of citizens who are not closely bound
TO either party, aud who will support that
ticket whose success, in their judgment,
promises best for the welfare of the country.
With all this class, and with the large body
OF German voters which Governor Iilden
boastngly says will he much larger this
year than ever before-he naturally and
Justly carries great weight, because he ex-
presses their convictions. They are, indeed
as independent as he is; but the same rea-
sons which influence him will influence
them, and his declaration is significant aud
powerful because its logic will convince
thousands. lie fairly and honestly repre-
sents the independent sentiment of the coun-
try and shows most conclusiyely where it
will 90.

GOVERNOR HAYES Early LIfE.-lnci-
dents of Governor Hayes early life begin to
crop up thickly in the Western press, One
of the most characteristic is narrated by the
Washington correspondent OF the Cincinnati
Inquirer, who first saw Hayes when he came
from Manmee county, poor, unknown and
friendless, to practice at the Cincinnati bar.
lie was shy and depressed in his manners,
and few noticed or associated with the
stranger, as he took his seat day after day in
the court room, waiting for chance client.
One day a wretched idiotic girl was ar
raigned for murder. She had neither friends
nor money, and the presiding judge, think
ing to do good turn to the friendess one, as
signed to Hayes the duty of defending her.
To the surprise of all he acquitted himself
in mastery manner; his eloquent and
forcble speech securing the acquittal of his
client aud gaining the admiration of all his
hearers. The opening of which he so sue
cessfully availed himself led TO his obtain

SIGNAL FAILuRE.-lt has been understood
and conceded, on all sides, that no democrat
could be elected President unless he carried
the independent aud dissatisfied vote of the
country. Mr. Tilden's nomination was urged
and made upon the theory that he could do
so. II was said that his reform pretensions
would win this element. But the result does
not sustain the claim. Instead of winning
the independent and discontented element,
Mr., Tilden has gained substantially nothing
in this direction. On the contrary, almost
without exception, they are declaring them
selves heartily aud unreseryedly for Hayes
and Wheeler Carl Schurz, President Wool
sey, President Hopkins, Horace White, MI
rat lialstead, Colonel Grosvenor, Governor
fenton, and all the other representatives of
this element, have promptly and emphati-
cally defined their positions. The independ
ent press takes the same side
