 The national democratic plat form says:
 "Homs rule; honest money, con sisting of gold and silver and paper convertible into coin on damand; the strict maintenance of the public faith, state and national, and . tariff, for revenue only; the sabordination of the military to the civil power and a genuine and thorough reform of the civil service"

Let there be no bickerings, no difference, but patriotic desire to swell the majority of our party te it's grcatest height. Let us emulate the example of Alabama and roll up a vote for Gen. Churchill and the rest of the state ticket that will encourage our northern friends, and make ours the banner democratic state of the union.
