New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1876-08-31

The platform of the Connecticut Repub-
licans has less dead wood in it than is gener-
ally seen in the political architecture of that
State. There is a Grant plank, but 1t is near
the bottom, and is plainly dressed, without
varnish or veneer. 1t declares that he is en-
titled to national gratitude for his patriotic
services to the country, and that his name
will be deseryedly enrolled among the honored
sons OF the republic. This is quiet and in
good taste. Gen. Grants patriotic services
\ are not disputed save by uubleached copper
heads and Southern bgOts. The platform is
direct and unequivocal, and is not freighted
with nonsense. Last years ticket was renom-

THE LTBEnrY.LovING GERMAN

Colonel A. C. Ellis, in a speech al
Carson the other night, had something
70 say on the above subject. 1t will
be remembered that Colonel Ellis was
. delegate to the st. Louis Convention:
1t hiss been asked why the st. Louis
platform referred only to the ''liberty-
loving German" and not to the lib
erty.loving Irishman or Liberty loving
Englishman or Frenchman. The plat
form Says
1--WE d~enonnce the policy which dis
cards the liberty loving German and
celebrates the revival of the coolie trade
In Monaghan women" etc.
The reason Is this: That the on';y-
treaty taking away the liberties of any
Of our foreign-born citizens vas made
by the Republican administration in
1859, and took away the liberties of our
fellow citizens of German birth. Be-
fore that time, let a man his
foreign allegiance and become an
American citizen, and ha might go 10
England, France, Germany, Rus
sia-anywhere, and not the strong
cot nation would dare to claim
him again and press him
into her military service, But in
1859 the Republican party basely
truckled to q foreign power and made
. treaty at Garmany's request, by the
terms Of which, If an American citizen
of German birth returned to Germany
and resided there two years, Germany
could take possession of him and force
him Into her army. That is the policy
which the Democratic party oenounces,
and that Is why it mentioned in its
platform the liberty loving German.
Let the Democratic party be in power
again and no foreign born citizen shall
be claimed by any nation against his
will and forced into her army. This is
why 6ve-sixths of the Germans in this
country are standing by Tilden in this
campaign. This is why Mueller, nee
Lieutenant Governor on a Hayes State
ticket, is now, with many others of his
leading fellow-countrymen, working
for Tilden and Hendricks.

Gen. Sherman says the proposition
from the Agency Indians that a cessa.
sation of hosiilities with Sitting Bull
and his adherents shall be arranged in
the interests OF a permanent peace is
altogether out of the question for @ V
eral reasons The Indian tribes with
which the Government is at war is not
such a nation as to allow the estab-
lishment of any negotiations of this or
any other character, and besides no
confidence can be placed in their
promises; while another patent reason
for not favoring the proposition OF the
peaceable Indians at the Agency is that
the request does not come from the
hostile tribes, and there is no ground
for believing they desire peace. Gen.
Sheridan's views on The proposition
have not yet been received at head
quarters.

Court and says:
We therefore respectfully request that
John Pierpoint, Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of Vermont to. rs soon rs

if any he have, why he should not be com
mittcu for cUntemut of court.
The -idrcWi>cr also requests a candid
cAires Ion on the subject from the press OF
Vermont.

know how Iii, court can best take care OF

change their diet, and the former not eat
the latter for supper. and the latter not eat
the former for breakfast, each would be
les dN>rcptic and have more consolinc

We think the Aa+crtiser woald do well
to sit right down to its little dlctlon-
alv and fad out what vcnlal and
" ilk y and some other word, which 1t
uses really mean. and that it will lind its
