The Democratic National Platform.

The Democrats of the United
States, in convention assembled, de-
clare:
1. We pledge ourselves anew to the
constitutional doctrines and traditions
of the Democratic party as illus
trated by the teachings and example
Of Il long line of Democratic States
men and patriots, and embodied in
the platform Of the last national con-
vention of the party.
2. Opposition to centralization and
to that dangerous spirit Of encroach-
ment which tends to consolidate the
powers Of all the departments in one,
and thus create, whatever the form of
government, real despOtism: no
sumptuary laws; separation of
Church and State for the good of
each; common schools fostered and
protected.
3. Home Rule; honest money,
consisting of gold and silver and pa
per convertible into coin on demand;
the strict maintenance of the public
faith, State and national, and tariff
| for revenue only.
f. The subordination of the mill
tary to the civil power, and genuine
and thorough reform Of the civil
service.
5. The right to free ballot is q
right prcservative Of all rights, and
must and shall be maintained in every
part of the United States
6. The present administration is the
representative Of conspiracy only, and
its claim of right to surround the
ballot-boXes with troops and deputy
marshals, to intimidate and Obstruct
the election, and the unprecedented
use Of the veto to maintain its cor
rupt and despOtic powers, insult the
people and imperiltheir Institutions.
Z. We execratc the course of this
administration in making places in the
civil service reward for political
crime, and demand a reform by statute
which shall make it forever impOssi
BILE for a defeated candidate to bride
/ his way to tho seat of a usurper by
= billeting Williams upon the people.
s. The great fraud Of 1S76-1817
by which, upon a false count of the
e electoral votes of two States, the can
: didate defeated at the polls was de
clared to be President, and for the
e first time in American history the vii

the side of Hancock, for he generally
strikes the side of the majority.
From my information no nomina
ton since 1910 has been received witt
more solid enthusiasm or more absolute
confidence by the masses in its assured
victory than that of Hancock"
"What do you think, Judge. will b,

Republicans in the South?"
"The Republicans will go into tn,

1t is q curious illustration of
how completely the great events
of the war have brushed away
what may be termed a,te-delhtm
fame, that very few people III this
part of the country had even a
faint recollection Of who Mr.. Eng
hsh, Of Indiana, was, when they
heard that he had received the
Democratic nomination for Vice
President, and yet, for Il time be-
fore the war, Mr.. English was
quite prominent man, and did
fully as much, and possibly more,
than any other man in the cOun-
try, to nave Kansas made Il free

dressed a circular to supervisors, the
object of which is to correct the mis-
understanding which hns arisen re-
speeding the purport and effect of the
letter Of the Secretary of the Interior,

the clause of the tenth section of the
act of March 3, 1876, which restricts
the aggregate amount of compensa-
tion to &c received by enumerntors.
The Superintendent holds that the
decision of Mr. Schurz has no effect
to substitute per diem for per capita
rates Of compensation i'll any district,
and makes the following announce
ment: Except in districts where Il
per diem compensation has been spe-
officially authorized from this office,
