Referring TO. the Ohio election, the
World says: Ii looks very much as if
tine best thing that Charles Foster
coulG do. would be to have some one to
shoot hin--not dangerously, but just
enough 70 arouse popular enthusiasm,
which seems to be Tagging. The neces-
sary coupe can be hired cheap. The
assassin would probably take store pay.
and in this cold weather no fatal in

The World says Allen, President
OF the Soldiers Union Of alabama, is
out in a long letter advocating Hancock
for the Presidency. Leading articles
in the Semla Times and Montgomery
Advertiser commend the attitude OF
the World, and urge the nomination OF
Hancock. The Charleston, News and
Courier says: Tllden is the only Dem
ocratic candidate who could be placed
in the field foF whom the South would
not be substantially solid.
The. Independent Republican. State
Convention of Massachusetts, adopted
platform OF which the following are
planks:
Resotced, That we recognize the fact
that differences of opinion exist regard
ing certain principles Of national ad-
ministration, and that while we may
differ. as to the true policy to be pur-
sued concerning the adjustment Of these
vexed questions, we are all united upon
the cemmon,pl platform OF our great leader
equal rights. equal duties, equal
powers, equal privileges and equal pro-
lection by the law to every man every
where under the government, State and
National.
Resotred, That we are unalterably
opposed to the rule of the. ring which
has fastened itself upon the common
wealth; that we put the seal Of con-
demnation upon that growing spirit of
''Bourbonism" and "easte" which con-
ceals itself under the pretentious title
OF ''the better clement" which sets
itself upon a. high pedestal of Feemi-
nent right to dictate and to control the
people, because of it's alleged superior
public virtue.
Resotocd, That it is notorious that a
refusal to vote under the dictation Of
the better element results in the
discharge and prescription of employees
and, "a withdrawal of business patronage.
This is opposed to the spirit of our free
institutions and deserving of the con-
demnation of every true American citi-
| Zen..
Resotoed, That a. pure suffrage is the
life-blood of the republic. No. ballot
can be pure which is not free. The way
to the ballot-box should be direct, easy,
unimpeded, and secure from espionage.
We demand, therefore, that the laws
be so framed as to insure the one with,
out impairing the other, and that the
right to vote should not depend upon
it's purchase by the payment of tax.
