THE Republican platform declares
that "the tax-paying people of the
State demand that by specific taxation
the traffic in intoxicating liquors shall
be made to bear its share of the public
burdens" Now, that is very explicit,
isn't it? What is its share? Do the
Republicans mean that they are in
favor of equal taxation, and would there
fore pet rid of the Federal license tax I?
Then, do they want the Constitution
SO amended that the legislature may
provide for licensing the traffic? or
what do they mean? Their resolu-
ton is as clear as mud.

THE class unrepresented on the Tar
if Commission nominated by Guiteau's
President, pay nine-tenths of the taxes
collected and receive not one cent back
while the interests that have the entire
Commission, and pay One-tenth of the
tariff tax, receive it all back, and all
that the other nins-tenths pay. Thus
it Is that the present government takes
care of the rich, and leaves it to the
poor men to get along rs best they may.
But these protected interests seem to
like this state of things, and so long
as the people choose to pay the piper,
they will dance.

THERE seems to be disposition on
the part of many of the Republican

thelliquor question Is concerned, upon
the speeches made in the Convention,
which are said to have been spirited and
not upon the resolutions, which are
non- -committal and of the milk and
water order, neither openly declaring
for prohibition or license, nor for the
retention of the Sunday law, but only
for its enforcement while it remains upon
the statute books

Maine De na naOcratS.

The Democrats of Maine held their
State Convention at Lewiston on the
9th ult., and renominated Harris M.
Plaisted for Governor by acclamation.
In their platform they denounce the
greed of corporations, denounce polit-
ical assessments, demand reform of
the civil service, denounce bosses, de-
clare the Republican party seeks to
perpetuate itself in an oligarchy of
office-holders, declares the Republican
party is wastsfuI, extravagant, foe to
free ballot, corrupt and in favor of CEN
tralization and the empire, denounces
the present tariff as oppressive to labor,
declares the Republican party has de-
stroyed commerce, and relates to vari-
Gus local matters.

PIoUA. June 23rd.-A young man
named Harve Robinson, who came
here from Darke County, today pre-
sents one of the most singular phe-
nomena known to medical practition-

light complexioned white man. To-
day he is almost as dark as fullbloOd-
ed negro. The change began in April,
since when his skin has rapidly grown
dark, but without any marked effect
on his general health. His face and
hands are black, and his body is about
the color of three quarter blood ne
gro. His parents are both Saxons, and
so are the remainder of the family.

MRS. GARFIELD is very we'll off.
She has $500, 600 in Government bonds
the result of the subscription. Then
her husbands life was insured for $780,
600. which she promptly received. She
also was. paid the salary of the Presi-
dent for the unOccupied first year,
amounting to about $4,000. Then add
to it about 200, the total value of
Garfield's estate. That was the total
amount, after all the abuse that was
received, that he was able to accumu-
late in life of fifty years. That makes
$40O, 900, does it not? We suppose that
the income from this total of more
than 100000 will be SIG, 900 year.
She is also put on the pension list al
Sc. 900 year. So she is comfortable
and can raise her children well.

THE GAINESVILLE Courier, an ultra Re-

and gives it the following decidedly
uncomplimentary send-off:
=" There is no life, no vim in it !;
nothing that rings. The language in
which the resolutions are clothed is
lifeess. 1t does not sound like the
language of a strong and mighty po-
litical party. The Republicans of the

shoulder of DR.. Hicks and sobbed pitt
fully. Still he went on:
81 wonder what 1 will do when get to the
Lordy;
l guess I will weep no more when get to the
Lordy,
Hlory, Halleluiah.''
Here there was another Interrupt
ton, caused by sobs and emotions he
was unable to repress. He wept bitter
ly and then with quivering lips and
mournful tones he went on to finish
his ditty:
81 wonder what 1 will when get to the
Lord.
1 expect to see most splendid things, beyond all
earthly conception, when l am with the

Glory, hallelujah, (raising his voice to the
highest pitch that he could command,
Glory hallelujah,

This closed the chant and then Rev.
Mr.. Hicks gave Guiteau his final BEN
ediction and farewell, saying: God,
the Father, be with thee and give
thee peace forevermore."
The attendants then pinioned his
legs and carefully adjusted the moose
about his neck.
Mr.. Strong placed the black cap
over his head and as he did so Guiteau
called out in loud tones "Glory,
