We print to day the platform
of the Democratic, Party, adopt
ed at the Convention in Baton
Rouge. 1t IS an able paper, and
lays down principles which every
honorable man can sustain and
uphold.
1t very properly arraigns the
Republican Party for the theft of
a President who now sits in the
White House, a living exemplar
Of the granlest fraud of the nine
teenth ce"'uiy, and closes by a
very handsome endorsement of
the administration of Governor
NicL"l's, and approves his con-
duct as Governor through the
very trying and dark period
through which the State was
safely conducted to the broad
road to prosperity and happiness.

Though Shaking Like an

With the chills.and fever, the victim Of
ma4aria may still recover by using the
celebrated specific, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. which not only breaks up the most
aggravated attacks, but prevents their re-
currence. 1t is iDfnity preferable to quia-
far more thoroughly, but also on account
of it's perfect wi olesomeness and invigorat
ing action upon the entire system. Testi-
mony is concurrent, positive and ample
showing the decisive nature OF its effects,
and that it ia ne. mere palliative. Physi-
cians coneede its excellence, and there is a
constant influx of communications from
persons in every class Of society avoueh-
ing it's merits, and bearing witness to it's
superiority over other remedies for malari-
al disease. 1t is especially popular through
ont the West, wherever fever and ague pre-
walls as it does in many of the fairest and
most fertile portions Of that vast region.

The hardest conundrum for
the sewing machine men to get
through their heads now Is how
that Willie agent manages to sell
so many machines. We hear
from unquestionable authority he
in one day of this week actually
sold sac machines for cash. They
have about arrived at the correct
answer, and that is: The merits,
quietness, reliability, durability
and many other good qualities
too tedious to mention of the
