CONGRESS adjourned yesterday at noon.
In the Senate they did not honor Mr.,
Hayes with reading his veto message Of
the deputy marshals' bill. This was a
special bill, to provide for the appoint.
ment of deputies to perfo m duty at
elections. 1t was a fair measure, but did
not suit the contemplate fraud inCum-
bent Of the White House. OF course the
veto was not considered. In fact there
was no time. In the House there was
much noise and confusion, and not mu5h
done. When noon arrived, Speaker
Randall, commanding order, said:
The hour fixed by resolution for the
final adj lurnment of the two Houses has
arrived, and now, with an ex.
pres ion of good will towards every
member and delegate on this floor, and
with the no e for their safe return to
their homes, l declare this House, in its
second session of the forty.sixth Con.
gress, adjourned without day. Zap

BEFORE the issue of the DEMOCRAT next
week, the Cincinnati convention will
probably have done its work, and have
named our candidates for President and
Vice President, Our county convention
will also have done its work, and named
the candidates for county Offices. We
doubt not both jobs will be we'll done
with a view to success at the polls. Stark
county four years ago was Democratic
by some four hundred. Why not this
year? Indeed, why not every year,

The New York Democratic platform
will be found in this issue of the Demo-
GRAFT, and we invite our friends to give
it a careful reading, In giving the pro-
Ceedings of the New York democratic
State Convention some weeks ago, the
platform was then inserted. This doCu.
ment most ably refers to the necessity of
reform throughout the Federal admins
t%ration. l. refers to and arraigns the
Republican party for the conspiracy in
1876 and 1877, which, by perjury and
bribery, defrauded the American people
by a false count Of the electoral votes,
out of their choice for President and
Vice President.
The fact Of this conspiracy reversing
the decision of the People, Compels the
Presidential election this "year to turn
upon a single commanding issuel This
issue precedes and dwarfs every other"
There must be cheerful and absolute
acquiesCence in the decisions of the ma.
jority," otherwise lawlessness and vio-
lence rule, The safety Of the people is
the supreme law and their decision is
the decree to which all good citizens sub.
nit. The question then is-shall the
conspiracy Of 1877 be approved? Or,
shall it be made the paramount issue of
the campaign ?
The Republican party has approved
the fraud; has rewarded the bribers,
periurers and conspirators, having given
them high rewards. One of the infam-
GUS 49," of the Electoral Commission is
their candidate for President! A mar
condemned by Hayes and Sherman even
as corrupt and unworthy, has been deem.
ed fit to occupy the second place on the
ticket with Garfield, of Credit Mobilier
and De Gollyer fame.
For good, wholesome and pointed talk,

EIGHT years ago the Republican Ma

evils of patronage, and make honesty,

Mr.. HAYES, in keeping his veto mes
sage of the deputy marshals bill, until
the last moment, would seem to indicate
that he feared the Democrats would take
him at his word, and would remedy the
unimportant objections he makes by
passing a new bill To pr vent this he
held the veto message until lack of time
made such a course on the part of Com
gress impossible.

to sharply snub Rutherford B. Hayes,
by refusing to even open his veto mes
