National Democratic Platform.

frst-Ne pieuRc outsei'~5 ""e"
10 the constitutional doctrines aud
traditions Of the Democratic party
as illustrated by the teachings and
example of a long line Of Demo- IL
ic statesmen and patriots, and embod
led in the platform of the last Ma
tional Convention Of the party.
Second-Opposition to cen'raliza-
ton and that dangerous spirit Of
encroachment which tends to con-
solidate the powers Of al the de-
partments in one, aud thus to create,
whatever may be the forms Of gov
ernment, a real despotism; no sump-
tuary laws separation of Church and
State for the good of each, common
schools to be fostered and protected.
Third-Home rule, honest money,
consisting of gold, silver and paper
convertible into coin on demand;
the strict maintenance of the public
faith, State and National, and tariff
for revenue only.
Fourth--The subordination of the
military to the civil power, and
general and thorough reform of the
civil service.
Fifth--Right to a free ballot as
the right preservative Of all rights,
and must and shall be maintained in
every part OF these United States.
Sixth-The existing administra.
tion is representative of conspiracy
only, and its claims of the right to
surround the ballot boxes with troops
and deputy marshals, to intimidate
and obstruct the election, and the
unprecedented use of the veto 10
maintain its corrupt and despotic
power, insults the people and i'm
perils their institutions.
Seventh-The great fraud Of 1876,
by which upon a false count of the
electoral vote of two States, the
candidate defeated at the polls was
declared to be President, and for
the first time in American history
the will of the people was set aside
under threat Of military violence,
struck a deadly blow at our system
of representative government. The
Democratic party, to preserve the
country from the horrors Of civil
war, submitted for a time, in the
firm and patriotic faith that the peo.
pie would punish the crime in 1880.
This issue precedes and dwarfs all
others. 1t imposes more sacred
duty upon the people OF the Union
than was ever addressed to the con-
science Of nation Of freemen.
Eighth-We execrate the course
Of this administration in making
places for political criminals, and de.
mand reform by statute which shall
make it forever impossible for de.
feated candidate to bribe his way to
the seat of asurper, by vil'a'nics
upon the people,
Ninth-The resolution Of Samuel
]. Tilden not again to be candidate

which he was elected by a majority

A GOOD Word for Memphis.

C~nattanOoRa NeWs-Chr0 nlcle'l
The goodly city of Memphis is to
have a Mardi Gras demonstration to-
morrow. Some of the pious editors
and fastidious preachers of the land
think she ought to be ashamed of
herself for having a little fun so soon
after burying so many of her %unfortu-
nate people. Well, Memphis is a
business city, and means business in
all she does. Is there any. sin
in a city trying to recover what she
has lost, if she does it in a way
that pleases those who spend it?
The people of Memphis love their
city. Thousands OF them would rath-
er live there a few months in the year
and run all the risks Of an epidemic,
when they cannot fee, than live. move
and have their being anywhere else in
the world. There is to them some
thing fascinating about the very at
mosphere of Memphis, however I'M
wholesome it may be. Nobody who
loves his Preside can blame them. We
love them for it.
