bracei
The first resolution of the Democratic
platform adODted at Cincinnati reads:

platform adopted at Cincinnati reads:
1--WE pledge ourselves anew to the constitu-
tiOnal doctrines and traditions of the Demo
cratic party as Illustrated by the teaching and
example OF long line of Democratic states
men and patriots, and embodied in the plat
form Of the last National Convention of the
partyY"
Query: Does that embrace State rights
as declared in the Virginia resolution of
1898?
Does it embrace the doctrine first an
nounoed by high Democratic authority,
"To the victors belong the spoilsP"
Does it embrace the atrocious repeal
of the Missouri COMPROMISED
Does it embrace the disgraceful bred
Scott decision?
Does it embrace the teachings and ex-
amples of jeff Davis and his thousands
of rebel associatesP
Does it embrace the well-known devo-
ton of the Democratic party to the
Shareholders and the solid SOuthp
Does it embrace an Endorsement of
the four years war made to overthrow
the Governments
Does it embrace the repeated and
persistent attacks on the Government
credit, and the efforts to repudiate the
public debt?
Does it embrace the opposition to
manhood suffrage and the deprivation
of the negroes in the South of their
rights as citizensP
Does it embrace the persistent efforts
of the Democracy since the war to undo
its results and to place the solid South
in powerP
These are some of ''the constitutional
doctrines and traditions of the Demo-
cratic party, as illustrated by the teach
ing and example of long line of Demo

What Judge Poland Thinks OF Gar
field.

In view of the Democratic attacks
upon Mr.. Garfield because of his al
legged connection with the Credit-MO-
bilier affair, the following letter from
Judge Poland the Chairman of the
Credit-Mobilier Investigating Commit
tee, to the late Vermont State Repub-
lican Convention will prove interesting
and opportune reading:
ST. JOHNsBURY, VT. June p.
To the President of the Conventions:
Convention by the Republicans of this
town, and hoped to be- able to at
tend, but the. unexpected prolonga-
tion of the court in this county prevents. 1
greatly regret my inability to be present. 1
am not at all anxious to participate in the Sc
lection of stare ticket. The Republicans of
Vermont can always be safely trusted to nom
mate good men. 1 only desired to have an
opportunity TO express 10 the Convention and
proval of the nominations made at Chicago.
Probably no man in Vermont knows General
Garfield more intimately than myself He
was in Congress during the whole OF my
ten years service, and for eight wears we
stood together in the House, and ever on terms
of friendship and intimacy. OF his eminent
ability, power in debate, and untiriug devotion
TO public service need not speak. His long
service and leading position in Congress have
made him known 70 all the people Of the eoun-
try who take any interest i'm public affairs
But our political opponents affect to question
his personal integrity and purity of character,
andto base their accusation upon the evil
dence taken before a committee of Congress
of which 1 was Chairman, known as the Credit
Mobilier Committee. Now desire to say to
the Convention, and to all who may feel any
interest in my opinion Of General Garfield,
that nothing which appeared before that Com
mittee, or which appears in their report, or
any other matter or thing which ever came to
my knowledge in regard TO him, ever led me
to doubt his personal integrity. believe him
TO be thoroughly upright and honest man,
and who would be so under all circumstances
and against any temptation. The use that is
being made of my name and of the report of
the Committee which was drawn by me, in my
opinion, makes it proper for me to express my
personal judgment as to the character of the
man. / ask you to do me the favor to commu-
nicate this note to the Convention.

FIRE.

OTTAWA, ONT, April 21-Mid~
night.-Fully one-half of the city
hall is in ruins. A fire broke out
in the house occupied by B, Sobeau-
rim, on Aridge street, this afternoon.
Owing to the high wind, it spread
rapidly both in northerly and east
erly directions. Despite every
means available, the flames could
not be checked and buildings after
buildings We're destroyed. The
houses, with few exceptions, were
light wooden ones. The whole area
of ground composed Church, Dulle,
Lake, Kent, Albion, Wilmington,
Charles, Central, Wright, Hannaf
and several other streets, all burned
The heat was intense, and the
smoke SO dense that the city was al
most shrouded in darkness. The
fire ragged in fierce intensity from
$3.50 until 7, when the wind fortu,
nately changed, and it was got un-
der control. 1t is estimated that
between 700 and 800 houses are
destroyed and over 1900 people
are homeless. Several lives are
known to be lost, whilst it
is reported that at least dozen
perished. 1t is known positively
that a woman named Latramontille
and a man named Quillette were
burned. The area of ground over
which the fire travelled is a mile
long by 400 yards wide. The loss
is from FIVE to six hundred thousand
dollars.

supposed the fire was the work of
an incendiary. The loss on the
buildings is estimated at 100000,
and the damage to goods Of sew eral
firms is about 100000. The wind
was from the south, to which fact
may be attributed the escape of the
principal business portion of the
city.
