aid the old Marshal Within the past
few weeks several of Col. Fitzsimmons'
men have been shot down while in the
discharge of their duty, and the break
ing into county jails and the rescue Of
prisoners charged with illicit distilling
has become very common occurrence.
All this is doubtless quite unpleasant to
Col. Fitzsimmons, but so long as 1.-The
good people" of Georgia are satisfied,
perhaps he will not complain
The Democrats held their State Con-
vention at Columbus last Wednesday,
and nominated a ticket, and passed the
following resolutions:
"The Democratic party of Ohio, in con-
vention assembled, hereby reaffirm the
following clauses in the platform of the
convention of July %, 1877, indorsed by
a majority of more than $4,000 last fall
by the people of Ohio. We renew its
pledges of devotion to the Union and
constitution, with the amendments. 1t

of free government faithful adherence
to the following principles: Strict con-

school system. AS pertinent to the is
sues now pending before the people.
"Resozued, That the investigation of
frauds committed at the last Presidential
election in Florida and Louisiana ought
to have been made by the Electoral Com
mission. Its refusal to do so was the vi
olation of the spirit of law under which
| it was organized, and a gross outrage up
on the people Of the United States; and
while the decision as made by the Forty
| fourth Congress of the question as to who
| should be declared President of the Uni
| ted States for the present Presidential
term, was, in our judgment, final, that de-
cision ought not to preclude authentic
! investigation and exposure of all frauds
connected with that election, and the due
accountability of all who were guiltily
connected with them
"ReSolved That the commercial and in
dustrial stagnation that has so long pre-
vailed throughout the country, and the
consequent widespread suffering, is due
directly to the pernicious financial legs
lation of the Republican party, which we
hereby arraign for its acts, and charge
First-That at the time when the coun-
try was weighed down with debt, created
on the basis of full volume of paper
added to both the precious metals as
money it enacted a sweeping change in
the decrease of values, wholly in the in
terest of moneyed capital, by demonetiz
ing silver, and decreeing the destruction
of legal tender paper, and thereby wrong
fully added in effect hundreds of mil
lions to the burden of debt and taxes
upon the people. Secondly pursuing
its merciless policy of contracting the
paper currency, and boarding gold, il
has increased continuously the value ot
money and securities that partake of the
enhancement of money, and decreased
the value of all other property, and es
pecially of capital designed for product
i've use, and required for the employ
ment of labor, thus repressing instead o
fostering industry compelling idleness
instead ofsustaining trade and commerce
! And now this party in Ohio puts forward
in its platform the declaration that the
financial question has been settled. W.
deny this declaration, and while we con
gratulate the country that the downward
course to bankruptcy and ruin, involved
in the Republican policy, has been par
