We publish elsewhere, this morning, .
batch of political platforms-not because
they are interesting reading, but as part
of current political history. 1t will be mo-
ticed that the call tor the national demo-
cratic convention is silent on the currency
question, indicating that the policy OF the
party will be silence upon this subject
The Connecticut democrats demand re-
peal of the resumption act, but the adop-
ton, in its stead, of some other measure
tending to return to specie payments,
either by the accumulation of coin or by
the ''funding and cancellation of a portion

ver,ible bond The Wisconsin Iepubli-
cans hold their old position as anti-infla-
tionists, while their brethren of Indiana ad-
vance from their initiation position of a
year ago and now demand that the curren-
cy shall neither be expanded or contracted.
They, however, favor the repeal of the re-
sumption act, but recognize it to be the
duty of government to provide for the
ultimate redemption of the national cur

The democrats of Burlington, whose

the republican nomination.
We see it stated that an snti-'hird term

and Democratic Governors in several of
the Southern States, and the continued
killing of Southern Republicans for "opin-
ions sake" Hundreds of political martyrs
have been added to the bloody roll since
the days when the Herald gave forth its
false cries of "peace, peace" and the Ma
TIoNAL REPUBLICAN said there was no
peace. Now, on the morning of the 18th,
the Herald acknowledges its former error,
admits the truth of what the NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN charged eighteen months ago,
deprecates "the shot gun policy" by which
the White Liners, whose existence it de-
MED, have controlled the majority in the
State of Mississippi and are trying to in
Louisiana, and closes its article by saying (:
awe all remember how the country thrilled
with horror when Lieutenant General Sheridan
denounced the leaders of the Camelia lodges
and Ku Klux bands as 'banditti.' We all re-
member how the citizens of New York arose
in indignation at the insult thus thrown upon
q people by a military commander. But as We
read this revolving dispatch from Bayou Sara
the question arises, MAY not the brilliant and
illustrious Sheridan have been perfectly right,
even in the extravaganza of his denunciation,
and may not the honor and peace of the Ms
tion demand that he go at once to the South
west to put an end to this reign of terror and
death p"
We answer. 'fhe brilliant and illustrious
Sheridan" was right, and 'the honor and
peace of the nation" demand just what the
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN has always said it
demanded-'tha the Southern Republi-
"cans should be protected by the strong
"hand of the Administration, and the
"banditti should be made to respect its
"power." We are glad to have the aid Of
the Herald even this late in seconding that
demand.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVEk.

We are taught by the Bible that it is
never too late to ask and receive the par
don Of the Almighty for sins committed
against His laws. This rule does not hold
good in all merely temporal affairs, though
it does in most. Mistakes can be corrected
and the damage done by inadvertence or
willfulness repaired. 1t is fortunate for
the one who commits crime, or makes
mistake, should the time not have passed
before he sees the error and attempts repa-
ration for the crime. This is the situation
in which the New York Herald finds ITSELF
A few months ago the NATIONAL REPUB-
LICAN declared that there was "a reign Of
assassination" in the South. Gen. Sheri-
dan, sent to Louisiana by the President,
declared that the leaders who inaugurated
this reign were "banditti," and should be
treated as such. The Herald then had
correspondents in the South who de-
nounced Sheridan for his proclamation,
and painted the men whom he denounced
as injured innocents, whose only desire
was good government, and all whose aspi'
rations were loyal and peaceful. This
correspondence, the NATIONAL REPUBLI-
CAN charged at the time, was written to
order, and did not state the facts, for
they were too apparent. But the work Of
the Herald and its engineers bore its legiti-
mate fruit. The result was the election Of

THE BLOODY SHIRT.

The Independent and the Democratic
press have another opportunity to howl
about the "bloody shirt" If they will 60
to West Felicians parish, Louisiana, or
Wilkinson county, Mississippi, they can
find somewhere between twenty and hun
dred "bloody shirts" enwrsppirg the
bodies of that many colored Republicans
assassinated because they were colored and
Republicans and fer no other reason. Let
them take these "bloody shirts" and hold
them up for the people of the United States
to gaze on. They are no ideal garments
no myths evolved from the disordered
imaginations of Morton and his followers,
but actual garments-coarse it may be
worn and stained not only with the life
blood of the wearers. but with the sweat of
the honest toll of laboring men, whoti the
earth in obedience to the Divine command,
and did, before the bullet of the assassin laid
them low in death, earn their bread by the
sweat of their brows. Let the Detective
and Democratic press take these 'fbloody
shirts" and hold them up. We will abide
the verdict of the people on the display.

New York and the Presidency.

From the Albany Evening JOurnal.J
1t is absolutely vital to the Republican party
to carry New York in the coming Presidential
contest. Unless it wins the thirty-iv cleo
toral votes of this State, its defeat is inevit-
able. Unless Republicans direct their canvass
to this point, they will fight against odds
from the start. With New York, their triumph
is fully assured-without 1t, their overthrow
is equally certain. The logic of undeniable
facts makes New York the key of the whole
situation.
The sincere, patriotic, faithful Republicans
of the land, feeling the transcendant import
ance of continued Republican ascendency to
the welfare Of the country, are earnestly study
ing the way Of assured success. The Republi-
cans of New York are equally Jealous with
their brethren of other States for the triumph
of the common cause. They put the main
tcnance of Republican principles before every
thing else-before any man or any set of men.
Their very consciousness that everything turns
upon the vote of New York intensifies their
profound solicitude that nothing shall be done
to endanger It, and that, on the other hand,
the action most certain of ensuring 1t shall
fortunately be taken. They cannot, indeed,
be more devoted to the Republican cause or
their brethren of other sections. with whom
they will earnestly advise; but they would be
less than Republicans if, with the vital import
ance of their own State, they did not feel a
special sense of responsibility in counseling and
laboring for success. Upon them must in
evitably come the brunt of the fight.
It is wise to look the situation squarely In
the face. BY fair means or foul, BY fraud or
terrorism, the Southern States have passed
into Democratic hands. The Democratic
party has usurped control of that section and
will maintain it. 1t Is possible, indeed, that
the Republicans may save South Carolina and
one or two other Southern States. If there
could be fair full, unfettered vote, we should
certainly do so. But the desperate rebel-Dsm-
ocrstic game of seizihg and swaying the united
South has been successful, and any safe cal
culation must concede that section to the
enemy. That gives the Democracy 13S cleo
toral votes to begin with. We do not encum-
Der this article with the detailed tabular vote
Of the various States; 1t is enough to say that
the sixteen Southern States which the Democ-
racy claim, and which, with the possible ex-
ception of South Carolina, Mississippi and
Louisiana, must be yielded to them, cast 1SS
electoral votes. The case then stands thus:
National Republican., 1876-05-18

Whole number Of electoral votes. S69
ete ~ Sy1,,har S,a,o isS
Vote required besides Southern States. ...... II
This leaves the Democracy AZ votes to gain
outside of the Southern States IN order to
succeed. If they carry New York they will
secure 35 of the Al, leaving only IL to pick up
in the rest of the country. If they should
carry Indiana, that wonld give them Is and
leave to spare. Or, they could win the
requisite II by capturing New Jersey with its
Q votes and Oregon with its 8, or Connecticut
and California with their each. It is thus
manifest that If the Democracy carry New
York, they will secure the few rem aiming
votes and win the election. II, on the other
hand, they lose New York, the same influence
would lose New Jersey and Connecticut, which
are so closely identified with 1t; but even If
they should carry New Jersey, Connecticut,
Indisna, California and Oregon, and lose New
York, they would still fall short of the num-
Der necessary to elect. On the other side, II
the Republicans secure New York, they can
spare 46 votes from other Northern States
and still succeed. New York is thus clearly
and indisputably the turning point Of the
whole struggle. With this State on their side
tne Democracy would only have to hold IL
other votes from the entire North to win the
election.
That selfevident fact makes New York the
battle-g ground of the contest, and renders 1t
supremely important that the Republicans
shall carry it. How, then, can this be as
sured? The State Convention, speaking for
the Republicans of New York, has answered
that question. "We present Roscoe Conk-
ling" so it declared, "to the National Repub-
lican Convention as the choice for the nomi-
nation for President" and ''we give especial
assurance that the nomination of our candi-
date will secure, beyond question, the thirty
five electoral votes of New York for the Re-
publican ticket" That is the response of the
delegated representatives of the half-m:llion
Republican voters of New York" 1t declares
the truth because the nomination of New
York's candidate would inspire matchless
organization, a systematic canvass of the
State, an enthusiastic zeal on the part of the
active, jealous working Republicans which
would be irresistible. New York is the battle
ground, and wisdom dictates that the cam
paign shall be directed to this vital point.
