SPRING FASHIONS.

Es-PRoeREss1NG WITH THE TIMEs-A
GOOD CENTENNIAL IDEA.
In visiting the importing houses of New
York, last month, we were particularly
pleased with the head gear for the coming
season. The handsome French chip hat,
artistically trimmed with fine flowers of
different shades to suit the wearer, is
trimmed with silk and lace Of many tints.
What weary hours the ladies are passing
waiting for the retailers to put forth the en-
tire stock for the public to examine first
and then to purchase. There are many
houses in Philadelphia that will open
spring millinery on the 18th Of April. It is
a week later than usual; they are practicing
economy as extra hands for the season will
not enter on duty for two weeks hence, so
they can make reduction on the hat. The
importing houses were week earlier.
We do not know what to attribute this ia
unless that many of the ladies are prepar-
ing to attend at the Centennial where
they have been engaged for.

A VITAL DlFFEDlENCE.
The work nj Cincinnati ana the Wort
at 81. Louis.
"

~. u.
There Is profound and essential dif.
| ference between the action OF the he.
publican Convention at Cincinnati and
that of the Democratic Convention ut
st. Louis and it is something which
the American people cannot too care
fully or too wisely consider 1t Is some
thing plain and easy to understand. and
the simplest statement Is suffi oient to
make It palpable to any mind.
In each OF these Conventions there
were two great and distinctly defined
parties or divisions, and these divisions
were quite as broadly marked among
the Republicans rs among the Demo
Gratis. One of these divisions was com
posed of reformers. men desiring to put
an end TO corruption. venalty, and
fraud in legislation and administration ;
while the other division just ~ earnestly
desired to perpetuate the existing sys-
tenn
In the Republican Convention the re-
formers were promptly voted down.
They had Benjamin II. Bristow. n we'll
tried reformcr. for their candidate. but
the highest number Of votes he received
was t26 ont OF 1856, the remainder being
divided between Messrs. Blaine. Couk-
ling. Morton and Hartranft, the chief
of them d notoriously corrupt man, and
present corrupt sytem. Finally. after u
vehoment struggle, during which the
reform vote never amounted to more
than one-sixth OF the whole convention,
Cameron, Of Pennsylvania. Grant y

distinguished representative or corrup'
ton in order to prevent tho nomination
Of Blaine. whom Grant hated, although
he was the most corrupt candidate oL
all. selected. rs u compromise. u neutral
man of decent reputation, and not in
the least reformer. and he received
the nomination Of the party. The re-
formers were thus signally defeated,
aud their candidate. Mr.. Bristow,
promptly recognized this defeat by
abandoning his fight for reform, resign
ing his place in the Cabinet. and going
home to private life.
This was the way 1t was done in the
Republican convention but in the
Democratic convention 1T was not so.
There was the same struggle there be-
tween the reform party and the party OF
thievery and corruption, tho one having
Samuel J. Tilden as their candidate,
and the other having taken up various
other candidates for the purpose OF
beating the reformers. Yet, on the tirst
ballot, Mr. Tilden had more than 400
votes out OF |b3, ana on tne SecoHu Jul
lot he had more than two-thirds of the
whole convention, and was nominated
on thoroughgoing reform platform.
This, then, is the difference OF which
we speak. The Republicans voted down
refotm and nominated candidate
pledged to the continuance OF the old
system: while the Democrats voted
down corruption, took reform for their
platform. and adopted the most eminent
practical reformer In the country rs
their candidate. Think well OF these
things, fellow citizens. and then decide
how you ought to vote in November.

is that the question will assume def

The names OF Tilden and Hendricks
fall melodiously upon Southern cars.
They sound like friendly echoes OF the
oIden times, when u political contest
carried no significance OF sectional hate
and when nobody looked forward to the
success OF one party as q rescue from
impending prosecutions and ruin. The
question with the South now is not one
OF Democracy-it is one OF existence.
The South looks to the Northern De-
mocracy as that section OF a victorious
population which is influenced by senti-
ments Of humanity, justice and brother
| ly regard towards a former enemy, in
contrast with that other section OF the
same population which still burns with
anger, still pants with the desire OF re-
venge, and still favors the policy OF viz
tually keeping up the war.
In this way all the South Is Demo-
cratic in this way the Morning ttnv is,
without any qualification, in favor OF
the election OF Tilden and Hendricks
This paper Is not party organ 1t takes
no part in politics. But 1t Is a Southern
paper and an organ OF humanity in gen.
eral. 1t would not be slow to express
It's adherence and Indignation at the
sight OF community in the most dis
tant regions Of the world treated with
the same barbarity and brutality as
those which have characterized the
Government Of the United States In its
dealings with these Southern States
since the pretended declaration OF
peace.
Grant, with lying lips, said. Let
there be peace" when he meant hatred,
war, destruction. The election Of Tilden
will be "peace" With the defeat OF
Hayes the Republican party must be-
come extinct. 1t is a party based on
sectional antagonism--one which must
always contain the seeds OF fatal weak
ness. Such party is sure to fall In the
first lull Of passion, because 1t must
necessarily combine against it the whole
OF the prescribed section and all the vir-
tuous, the generous and the wise OF It's
own section. Once fallen, the Repab-
lican party of war traditions can never
revive, because it will never find again
the opportunity Of a captive section with
its hands tied.
When the vile and bloody monster OF
@ sectional party shall have once disap-
peared, it will be found that good men
will again, as OF old, divide In their
ideas OF public policy and form two ma
tional parties. They will not all be OBJ
liged to be Democrats. In ordinary
times Democracy means individual
rights as constrasted with municipal
power; now Democracy Is identical
with humanity.

THE PLATFORM.

All IL says.
From the Staats Zeitung.l


From the Stnats IeitunE.l
This is long document, but no one
can read 1t without the highest interest
II IL utterly removed from the usual
platform phrases. 1t Is the Democracy s
formal confession Of faith and accusa-
ton against the present Administration
and the Republican party, expressed in
a mastery manner, both aS respects
form and substance. What the Demo-
cracy promises In this platform may be
summarized as follows:
The questions raised through the war
OF the rebellion are finally settled, and
the Democracy binds itself especially to
the maintenance of the Constitution,
with all the amendments thereof. No
Bourbonismi
Equality of all citizens before the law.
Local government.
Personal freedom. No sumptuary
laws.
The separation Of church and State.
Education OF youth, maintenance OF
schools, but no misuse Of this question
for stirring up religious animosity.
No sectional hatred, and no renewal
thereof by reviving the old questions.
Financial and tariff reform, specie
payments, and duties for revenues only.
Reduction OF taxes, and reduction OF
expenditures.
Reform in the Administration and po-
litical reform.
Abolition Of tho spoils system based
on the principle OF rotation, and ap-
pointment Of officials during good be-
havior.
Reform in political offices by the ap-
plication OF higher standard to APP
plicants for the same.
No more squandering OF the public
lands. (Here is the great fault Of the
platform; it has no declaration against
subsidies)
Amendment Of the treaties with for
eion powers for the protection OF adopt
ed citizens in foreign countries, in order
equality with native citizens.
Here follows, unfortunately, a dema-
gogical resolution against the Chinese.
Necessity for the overthrow OF the Re-
publican party, radical revolution in
our political condition, and especially in
the nature of parties.
| This is the platform with which the
| Democracy enter the present campaign.
Splendidly as it sounds it might, under
the circumstances, be really OF little
value. But it is the fruit Of bold, un-
compromising struggle against the bad
elements of the party, and it attains its
| full value in the fact that a man has
been placed upon this platform whom
the whole country regards as an incar-
nation of the best efforts toward polit-
| ical and economical reform. 1t is a
platform worthy OF Tilden, a platform
which, in the event of his election, he
can fully carry out, and platform by
which, under Tilden administration,
the whole Federal Government, and not
merely the Democrats belonging to the
Administration, must certainly live UP
tn
