instrument Of fraud, force, and corruption,

sQEss of the declarations OF the Ohio Demo-
cratic platform, which is wise and strong,
so far as it goes, upon this all-important
issue.
But FRANK IIUBD of Toledo, tho sober
man Of the Convention saw at once that
the platform did not go far enough. The
same admirable truths have been declared
over and over again by the Democrats in
Congress, and it was we'll enough to re-
itcrate them at Columbus; but what was
especially needed Mt that time was the one
word which could give practical effect to
those principles, and win victory for the
party maintaining them. What the plat
form lacked, he attempted to supply by
Offering this resolutions.

Tho fact that the Convention bluntly stul-
titled itself by voting down Mr. HURD's
resolution, and thus refusing to act up to
the principles which It. had just declared 50
cmphaticallv, goes far TO corroborate the
Times statements in regard to the truly
miserable condition Of its members.

A few weeks ago a Kansas farmer wrote
TO THE Sun complaining that though he was
well settled in life and entirely able TO take
good care Of u wife, he had to 20 without one
because Of the lack Of marriageable young
ladies in his neighborhood, which had been
chiefly settled by young men. Three days
after his letter was printed the following re-
ply came from Indiana:

We regret TO be unable TO give our Indiana
friend the address for which she asks, but
her letter should inspire our Kansas cor
respondent with hope. Once the beating OF

that there Is a demand for wives in Kansas
will help along the tide Of emigration which
is now SO rapidly pouring into that State.

Encouraging TO Bachelors.

1t Is an interesting and suggestive fact
that whenever bachelor writes TO THE SUN
expressing his desire for a wife and lament
ing his inability to find a maiden to whom
he can propose marriage. responses at once
pour in upon us from fair correspondents,
who announce their willingness to listen to
his suit. Nor do we ever print Il letter from
maiden who mourns her minated state, or
even gives hint that her heart signs for
captor, without soon receiving evidences
that there are some among our readers who
are ready and eager to gain the prize.
When we called attention short time ago
TO the lonely condition Of the Jewish bach
elors In certain regions OF the West, IA fair
irequenter Of our New York synagogues was
prompt TO declare her timid hope that she
might be found tit to cheer the home and
satisfy the heart OF one OF these children Of
Israel; and THE Sun containing her letter
had only time to reach distant Arkansas be-
fore this reply was forwarded to US:

We learn from the printed heading OF tho
paper upon which Mr. KoHN writes his
rather ill-expressed letter that he is a dealer

good business in a considerable or grow

men Of his race usually are in their occupa-

Frank IIurd.

II our esteemed contemporary, the Times,
has correct information, the Ohio Demo-
cratic Convention at Columbus on Wednes-
day was a gathering Of drunkards. Several
OF the prominent delegates were unable to
Rrticulate distinctly. Whisky had par
alyzed their tongues. The delegate who
nominated EWING made such disgraceful
exhibition Of inebriety that the President Of
the Convention, taking pity upon his truly
miserable condition" was charitable enough
10 force him into chair Another drunken
delegate got up and nominated "Mr. TRACY "
for Governor, Mr. TRACY being a creature
OF alcoholic Imagination, since nobody had
ever heard Of him. Every orator who at
tempted to address the Convention was
assailed by the drunkards on the loor with
bowls. Kisses, yells, cat-calls, and invita-
tons to Take tumblcw or to "Speak up,
old man, and show your style" In these
ways aud in various others, according to
our esteemed Republican contemporary, the
Democrats OF Ohio bore witness to the mad
dening effect OF Western stimulants, and
manifested their utter unworthness to be
intrusted with political responsibility.
There seems, however TO have been at
least one sober, clear-headed, patriotic man
in this bowling multitude Of alleged inebri-
ates. We allude to Congressman FRANK
HURD OF the Seventh District.
The platform adopted by the Convention
had evidently been prepared In hours ante
rior TO the debauch which thickoned the
tongues and clouded the brains Of the Demo-
cratic delegates. We do not think that
drunken men could have drawn up resolu-
tons so sound, explicit, and true as those
which relate TO the question Of tree cleo
tons. "The Democracy of OHIO demaad free

II Is announced that Mr.. BEERS, an agent
OF the Massachusetts Society for the Pre-
envtion OF Cruelty to Children, recently
brought to this city an Italian boy; that ho
delivered this boy to Mr. JENKINS. Superin-
tcndcnt Of tho New York Society for the
Prevention OF Cruelty to Children; and that
Mr.. JENKINS will send the boy back 10 Italy
at the expense OF the society of which Mr..
JENKINS is superintendent
The reason OF all this is that the boy
played the ACCORDION for proilt-the profit
going to q padrone who had imported him.
We are far from desiring TO place so much
as straw in tho way OF any appropriate
operations OF the Society for the Prevention
Of Cruelty to Children; but the question
arises whether It is not an act OF great
cruelty to this Italian boy to send him away
from this free and favored land after he has
once set foot upon its shore?
II he was being cruelty treated, 1t was
very well to put an end to that cruel treat.
ment; but it certainly could be done with
out sending him out OF the country. We
suppose it Is assumed that when he came
here he was incapable, from his tender years
OF giving an intelligent assent to his being
brought. All the same Is he Incapable. for
the identical reason, OF giving an intelll-
gent consent to being sent back. Properly
considered, therefore, he is banished from
this free country without II not against his
will. We regard II as the exercise OF q
questionable and dangerous power on the
part Of the society.
