murder of the Perkins family and who fired
upon other citizens last July. The prison.

for several days before he left for Yakima

not seen again. Resell, one of the sheriff's
party was shot in three places. The In
dams then left. T%horpe's horses were driy-

THE MASSACHUSETTS PLATFORM.
! The Massachusetts Democracy, il
Convention recently adopted platform
of principles, and nominated the follow
ing ticket:
For Governor-John Quincy Adams
The platform is as follows 1t en-
dorses the National platform of 1876,
thanks the Democrats in Congress for
their efforts to enforce economy in pub
lie expenses, to abolish useless offices
and to correct manifold abuses in public
affairs, not the least of which are
exclusion of intelligent citizens from
the jury box, and the levying and
maintaining of an army of official
partisans around the polls for partisan
purposes; it demands that the polls
shall be free from the interference of
Federal bayonets, directed by the
intrigues of a Federal and partisan
executive. 1t denounces the Republi
can party for the great public crime by
which people were defrauded of their
rights to be governed by the ruler of
their choice, and by which the elective
principle was wounded in its most vital
part 1t protests against the laws which
authorize the arrest of citizens at the
polls without warrant or hearing and
their votes by imprisoning
their bodies till after election, thus
free government, and calls on
Congress to aid the people and rescue
the freedom of election unaltered by
clamor for Presidential
vetOes it rejoices with the country at
large in the renewal of the prosperity
that attends agricultural and manufac-
turing pursuits; but deprecates that
policy, which, having de-
TERED our ship building, placed the
trade of our products under
the control of foreign flags, and almost
our flag from the seas, and
the pursuits of fishermen
among our hardy population, has re-
varded Great Britain with the spoils |

Winston County.


Our information is that Winston, one
of the faithful counties, that during
all the dark days of Radicalism sent a
Democrat to represent her in the Leg
islature, is standing solid asa stone wall
in the ranks OF the Democratic-C onser-
yative party. Neither Greenbackery,
nor Independentism has made any foot
hold within her borders Judge VIM.
Price, the Chairman of the COUNTY
Democratic Executive Committee, has
issued a stirring address from which we
make the following extract:
/ trust that every Democrat of Winston
county viii vote for the nominees of the
emocratic-COnservative party. Let not
Winston be in the background, while the
glorious work is going on. Let not the
victories of other years be dimmed by the
lethargy of her sons. | adjure them by the
memory Of past wrongs, by the glorious
victories of rs and '76, and by every con-
sideration that makes freedom dear and
sacred not TO desert the Democratic party

Calhoun County.

The gallant old county of Calhoun
being unanimously Democratic, has
never found it necessary, even in the
darkest days of Radicalism, to hold
nominating Conventions. The Legisla-
tive candidates are, Capt. w. \. Sum
ner, R. H. Conner, Esq. T. l.. Beadles,
Esq, and Mr.. l. S. Rogers. Capt. j. A.
Cox, who was for time a candidate.
has withdrawn. Calhoun was never
disgraced by Radical representation in
the Legislature. She always stood firm,
and sent such men as Capt. A. T..
Roane to that body. She belongs to the
old guard. Hon. 1. T. Blount is the
candidate for foater from Yalobusha
and Calhoun. He was a member of the
ever glorious Legislature of 1876.

Tate County.

We learn from private letters, as well
as through the Senatobia Express, that
the Conservative Democracy is booming
in Tate. The county from one end to
the other Is ablaze with enthusiasm. A
vigorous and aggressive canvass is being
made under the leadership of Hon G..
D. Stands, Chairman of the Executive
Committee. A splendid ticket, with
Messrs. j. P. Walker and J. B. Perkins
for Senators from the 9th District, and
Hons. T. B. Garrett and W. II. Bizzell
for the House, at the head. We have
no doubt but that the full ticket, from
head to foot, will be elected. Ira D.
Oglesby, Esq, candidate for District
Attorney, is also doing splendid work
for the cause. Look out for the usual
Democratic majority from Tate in
November.

Mark This /!

Two years ago in Pittsburg, Pennsyl-
vania, millions of property were dedi-
Gated to the flames and hundreds OF
lives were sacrificed to the fury of the
mob. The parties whose property was
destroyed, brought suit against the
county in which it occurred, for their
losses. The Supreme Court of the
State has decided that the county is
responsible and liable for damages. In
its decision, the Court says that neither
the people nor the county authorities
turned hand to suppress the riot.
Suppose such thing had occurred in
the South, what would have been said
by her habitual defamers?

WARREN COUNTY.
ADDRESS To THE DEMOCRATIC-CO NsERVA
TIVE VOTERS OF WARREN COUNTY.


TIVE VOTERS OF WARREN COUNTY.
Among the resolutions adopted at the public
meeting recently held at Bovina, is the fell
lowing
''Resoi0ed, That the acknowledgements
clubs, and all good citizens of both races
throughout the county, be addressed by the
chairman Of this committee asking them to
1ndorse the actions of this meeting and act in
harmony with us in preserving party organ
lZation of the Democratic Conservative party
of Warren county"
ask your earnest attention to the resOlu-
lions adopted by that meeting, and hearty in
dorsement of its programme. The people of
this county and State have experienced the
domination of both the great political parties
of the country. 1t Is now automatic that the
Democratic-Conservativ party alone deserves
their support. The taxpayer and patriot
look to that party for a guaranty of honest
and intelligent officials, economical admins
tratiOn and the future prosperity of our coun-
ty and State governments. The present course
Of affairs threatens the destruction of the DEM
ocratic Conservative party in this county and
the restoration OF our old enemies. History
will then repeat itself. a consolidated North
may perpetuate among us the supremacy of
party which deserves the eXecration of all
good citizens
1t is not proposed to dictate or even suggest
what candidates shall be supported. or 10 an
tagouiZe the executive committee of the coun-
ty; but il Is believed that by party organiza-
ton and unity of action, much can be done
10 avert the evils or republican, and the
eventual supremacy of our party be per-
manently secured. Our people will never
permit another scrub race. There is yet
time for you to put the seal of condemnation
on those who seek to destroy our party, and
TO select from those who have offered them
selves candidates, its adhereuts Unless
some steps are taken with view to unity of
action in a common cause, it would seem GER
tain that many of the offices will be filled nv
men, who determined to use their posi-
tons in recognizing the Republican party
and extending its supremacy to this Congress
sional District.
You are, therefore, requested to a once re-
organize the Democratic Con sentative Clubs
throughout the county, and to take then such
steps as may seem best to advance these views
lou are, also requested to report to me the
names of the officers, and all pertinent facts.
as soon as the clubs are so organized
1t IS needless for me to impress on you the
Importance of prompt, vigorous and united
action, both in the city and county

How to Remove the Financial Pres
GIIFa

In addition to the issue of bullion
certificates or treasury notes by the
government, with legal tender functions,
receivable for custom dues, and debts
public and private, large increase of
our circulating medium will be furnish
ed by the balance of trade in favor of the
United States with foreign nations. 1t
will amount the present year to upwards
of $3.50, 900, 900 and would come in the
shape of precious metals, permeating and
ramifying all the branches Of commerce,
Industry and trade.
Another means of tightening the
burdens imposed by Republican legisla-
ton in the interest of the money power,
will be to discontinue the sale of United
States bonds, and to pay those outstand-
ing at maturity. This will compel the
holders to invest their capital which
under the present unjust laws is exempt
from taxation, in enterprises that will
be liable to taxation, and at the same
time give employment to labor.
Reduce the. missnamed protective"
tariff twenty-five per cent. It now adds
fifty per cent. to the cost of every arti-
Gle that is consumed in domestic econo-
my, iron, leather, salt, wooden and cot
ton manufactured goods, and the i'm
plements most used in agriculture. a
reduction Of twenty-five per cent. viii
cheaper goods and by encouraging trade
with foreign countries and increase our
medium.
Cut down the expenses of the Federal
Government. Elect public agents who
will cease to Iegislate for the benefit Of
the favored few at the expense of the |
toiling many. Make them keep their
fingers out Of the pockets Of the tax
payers except to obtain money for the
legitimate purposes Of the government.
By the enforcement of the rule Of
honesty and economy to which the
Democratic party is pledged from $780,
300, 900 to SIS, 100000 can be annually
saved to the Impoverished and plundered
payers. With a Republican Senate
md President opposing its efforts to
substitute economy for extravaganza
Turing the last four years, the Demo-
ratio House has succeeded in saving
bout 100000, 900 to the people If
his was done in the green tree what
