DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVEN-
Tim


Contrary to geiI-ralcxpectatiun, Will

possibility and so leave a clearer field
for Tilden, is one of the problems we
can only guess at. though circumstan-
ces may enable us to guess pretty near
ly the truth. 1t was apparent to all
that Thurman was the man Tilden had
most to fear He stood essentially up
on the same platform, and SO would
divide the strength of the hard money
portion of the Democracy. What more
natural, then, than that his friends in
Ohio should assist in immolating Thur
man, even by the temporary triumph
of soft money theorist, when that i'm
notation would strengthen him in the
National Convention? Again, it was
important fol Tilden to establish that
New York and not Ohio was to be the
battle ground of the campaign; and so,
by aiding in the triumph of man that
stands no chance of nomination by the
st. Louis convention, he would gain a
point in his favor. This looks to us
like the cause which led to Thurman's
defeat and Aliens triumph; and if so,
it Will preve for William Allen but
barren victory. Itmay, however, have
another significance, and mean an
earnest effort to concentrate upon Gov.
Hendricks or Gen. Hancock, and a
soft money platform. If so, it aids
Tilden all the same, by removing his
most dangerous opponent from the
field.
After all, the two faced platform,
prepared by Thurman, to deceive both
the ''softs and the hards" of his own
party, was deserving of no better fate
than that Of immolation, and with
it its author has ''passed to that
bourne" etc. 1t proposed to repeal
the Resumption Act and to leave the
date of resumption unfixed, thus car
rying the idea of imitation, if not repu-
diation, 10 the ''softs;" and further
that the National banks should be
wound up at the expiration of their
charters and treasury notes substituted
for national bank currency. But here
the ''softs' theory ended; those treas
ury notes were not to have a legal ten

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION
p -lSS6

Tie next Union Republican National
Convention for the nomination of can
didates for President and Vice President
of the United States will be held in the
F. city of Cincinnati, on Wednesday, the
14th day of June, 1876. at IL o'clock
noon, and will consist of delegates from
each State equal to twice the number of
its Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress, and of two delegates from each
organized Territory and the District of
Columbia.
In calling the convention for the
election of delegates, the committees of
the several States are recommended to
invite all Republican electors, and all
other voters, without regard to past
political differences or previous party
affiliations, who are opposed to reviv-
ing sectional issues, and desire to pro-
mote friendly feeling and permanent
harmony throughout the country by
maintaining and enforcing all the con-
stitutional rights of every citizen, in
Guiding the full and free exercise of the
right of suffrage without intimidation
and without fraud; who are in favor of
the continued prosecution and punish
ment of all official dishonesty, and of an
economical administration of the Gov
ernment by honest, faithful and capable
officers; vino are in favor of making
such reforms in government as expert
ence may from time to time suggest;
who are opposed to impairing the credit
of the nation by depreciating any of its
obligations and in favor of sustaining
in every way the national faith an finan-
cial honor; who hold that the common
school system is the nursery of American
liberty, and should be maintained abso-
lutely free from sectarian control; who
believe that, for the promotion Of these
ends, the direction of the government
should continue to be confined to those
who adhere to the principles OF 1776,
and support them as Incorporated in the
Constitution and the laws; and who are
in favor of recognizing and strengthen
ing the fundamental principle of Ma
tional Unity in this Centennial Anniver-
sary Of the birth of the Republic.

ARCADIA LETTER.

ARCADIA, o., May %, 1876.
On Wednesday afternoon, May 18th,
it commenced to rain about 2 o'clock,
and continued all afternoon to rain or
pour down, until about 6 o'clock the
stream running through town took a
regular high. The water raised about
four feet in four hours, running Moth
er Campbell out of her house; the wa
ter stood four inches deep on the floor.
1t also run in the house of Mrs. Man
ming, and got in one corner of G. w.
Leckliter's kitchen, and washed the
floor in A. E. Miller's paint shop; tore
up some of the side walks. No dam
age done to town property; washed
away some of the fences along the
stream. More rain fell during the after
noon than was ever known to fall in
the same length of time in this vicinity.
1t appeared that the clouds met and
bursted, as the water fell in torrents.
In the evening the boys took the good
of the high water and washed them
selves. 1t rained so hard that the
whole earth seemed to be covered with
water.
The house of widow Charles Hales
was destroyed by fire May 10Th. about
noon. They got all their things out
of the building. The fire was caused
by having their couk stove setting out
on the porch and not having the stove
pipe properly fixed.

The editor of the PlaindealeT was a
Thurman man, and of course felt badly
about the victory which the uncle
achieved over the nephew. Is it any
wonder, then, that it spoke out its
honest feeling about the platform
which the convention adopted? Hear
it:
'.The meaning of the Cincinnati
platform is simply imitation and repu-
diatiou. The language of diplomacy
is used. but the meaning cannot be
concealed. "A sound currency equal
to the wants of trade and industry,
sounds well, but nothing is more Ger

policy based on this specious platitude
would bring On initiation as wild as
the widest rag money maniac ever
dreamed of; and the poorer classes

his conduct

THE ProhibitioDists met in Cleve-
land last week, adopted a platform and
nominated ticket. Green Clay Smith,
of Kentucky, is the candidate for Pres
ident, and Gideon T. Stewart, OF Ohio,
is candidate for Vice President. OF
course, our Gideon is happy, ifimprac-
ticable. In his youth he was an able
champion of Republicanism, but he
was seized with an itching for office,
desired TO be known among men as a
leader, was gifted with flow of words
and not bad elocutionist. But as the
years went by and his services were not
rewarded as he felt they should be
as neither the State Senate or the halls
of Congress were opened to him, he be-
came an impracticable and remains so
to this date. Gideon's sun will set
without his having achieved success.

The people will be glad to see cor
ruption exposed, and the rascalIy dis
honest, of whatever party or pursua-
sion, brought to punishment, but they
have little faith in the investigation
pursued for political purposes only,
and in committees which sit with clos
ed doors or in Star Chamber Courts
But if they will SO sit, would it not be
well to go little ways back and inves-
tigate the doings of jeff. Davis and

BLAINE has a majority of the dele
gates in Michigan, and Marylanp, Ore
gon and West Virginia have instructed
their delegates to vote for him. AS
We predicted, the charge of his receiv-
ing S64. 900 bribe, has added strength
to his Presidential aspirations, and
should he be proved gnilty, he will re-
ceiveithe nomination. The Republican
party makes corruption respectable by
honoring its corruptionists. - Seneca
AdUeTttSer.
The above is sample of Democratic
fairness and decency. Meyers knows
full well, and none better than he,-
unless he judges Republicans exclusive
ly from a Democratic stand point
that the ''charge OF his receiving a
S64, 600 bribe" never added particle
of strength to Blaine, but on the con-
trary weakened him much; il was the
proof Gf kiS Innocence Of the charge,
the utter aud unequivocal overthrow
of his accusers, that strengthened him
with the people who are always lovers
of fairness, and who read too much
now days to be misled by such mean in
Situations as are contained in the
above extract. The meanness Of the
spirit manifested in the extract quoted
is more apparent when iG is known that
at the time of its publication the
statement of Col. Thos. A Scot lad
been published, entirely eXhoDeratiDg
Mr.. Blaine, and stating that the S64,-
600 were paid to him for his own use
and behoof, in consideration of vaiu-
able services; and that no part or por-
ton of it was for Mr.. Blaine or any
person else than for Mr, Scott himself.
If Mr.. Blaine could ''have been prov
en- guilty." he would have been ire
trievabiy ruined. and his name never
would have been presented to a Re-
publican national convention. The
Republican party honors no man who
has been found guilty of corruption,
but Furnishes such as have been dire
lect in duty Not so Democracy
