The Democratic Platform.

The Democratic party of Pennsylvania holding fast
to the faith that al power not delegated by the Con-
stuiOn Is reserved the States aud the people, up
holding the sanCity of personal liberty, the security
of private property, and the right of local seltgoyen
meut demanding honesty and economy in the ad-
mnstration of government and the enforcement of
all the provisions of the Constitution by the Legisa
ture and the Courts of the Commonwealth declaring
against mOnopOlies and in sympathy with labor seek
ing its protection, and in favor of the industrial inter
of Penniylvania mt all times, do sOemny pIOtc
against evils which the policy OF the Republican par
ty aud the insOence of its long possession Of office
have thus brought upon the country; therefore,
First-We do protest against what is called the boss
system, and also the plunderng of OihcchOlders 10y
assessments of money for political purposes. Public
offices the property of no party hut are open to
every citizen who is hone 't capable and faithful to
the Constitution qualifications which Je1ers0 de-
clared We're requisites for office.
Second-We protest against the spoil system. It
is prostitution of the offices of the people that
they become the perquisites Of the politicians
Third-We denounce Oll.repudiatOn, State and Fed
era because 1t is dishonest and destructive of that
public morality upon which are founded the existence
and perpetuity of free institutions. IL should be
made odious aud the political party that aids 1t and
abets it with office deserves public condemnation.
Fourth-We denouucs spOation of the Sta.e Treas
ury and immunity by pardon OF those convicted Of
crimes, whose acts were agrRnt subvcrsons Of oit al
trusts and wrongs done the people.
Fifth-We believe the Republican party, as now Or
ganiaed and controlled is based fraud, fo and
corruption, and there can be no hope OF true reform
except by the force of the ballot box excluding it
from place and power.
Sxth-The Democratic party demands Of the Leg
islature honest just and true apportonment
Seventh-Upon these declarations we invite the
operation of all honest citizens who with desire
the reestabishment Of honest government

The Big Steal Disapproved.

The President on Tuesday returned
the River and Harbor bill to Congress
with his objections, claiming that it
contained appropriations for purposes
not for common defence or general
welfare, and do not promote commerce
among the States. The fact is, the
bill was monstrous steal from the
Treasury of the country, and the
President could not afford to assume
the responsibility Of it becoming law
without being personally answerable
for its infamy. 1t is not likely that
Congress will be able to pass it over
the veto, and to pass it in a modified
form to meet objections will probably
necessitate recall of the stragglers
and prevent an adjournment this week.

THE flags of truce for some time
passing between the Cameron and In
dependent factions of the Republican
party have been exhausted and aban-
doned, and each have put on the war
paint, and are preparing to deliver the
battle in the most approved style. They
know each other well and can speak
and act avisedly as to the purposes
and methods that move them to the
encounter. 1t will be no by-play. The
Independents claim and avowedly
fghtfor independc nee, equality, and
honest party methods, while the Cam
eron party makes death struggle for
the continued ascendency of its Boss,
his exclusive control of the Republi.
can party and his right to dictate its
men and its measures. John Stewart
of Franklin represents the Indepen-
dents as their candidate for Governor,
and James A. Beaver, the Boss. 1t is
quite an interesting complication, and
we have 90 doubt, will coutinue to
grow in interest as the funeral process

CONGRESSMAN WALKER of the Ly-
coming district is not likely to obtain
d unanimous endorsement for re.elec-
ton, Notwithstanding he obtained fos
his district 100000 of the swag dis.
tributed in the present Congress, and
is earnest in procuring a proteci.ye
duty on quinine. The Republican
Convention of Mexican county, the
other day, fairly howled dissent
even to have bis name mentioned as a
probable candidate for reelection.

A FRAUDULENT attempt was made,
and very nearly successful, to admit an
additional member of Congress from
Nebraska, on statement purporting
to give the census of 1872, upon which
the committee based a report to seat a
Mr.. Majors as an additional represen-
tative from that state. 1t appears no
such census was taken, of which the
applicant was aware, and the whole
thing was bare fraud.

The number of delegates to which
each district is entitled is as follows:

THE appropriations made by the
present Congress will foot up about
four hundred and twenty five million
dollars. This is about the average
annual expenditure of Republican
administration in time of peace. II
may vary little from year to year, but
II is at least six times greater than the
cost of Democratic administration in
time of war

A. G.. Curtin for Congress.

On Tux day Of this week, the Clin-
ton county Democracy in convention
assembled, unanimously declared in
favor Of our honored and distinguish
ed citizen, Andrew G. Curtin, for re-
election to Congress. This is merited
recognition of a most faithful and
able Representative of the Democracy,
who has brought great honor upon the
district by the high position he has
obtained in the national legislature,
and the unwearied attention given to
the immediate interests of his constit-
uents. 1t now remains for the Demo
cracy of Centre at her delegate e.ec-
tions on Saturday next and in her
convention on Tuesday, the Sth inst,
to supplement this action of the De
mocracy of Clinton, and declare with
equal unanimity in favor of Curtin.
This will be the result beyond ques-
tion. 1t is deserved, for rarely in
Pennsylvania has it occurred that a
Representative in Congress who during
his first session won such a proud posi-
ton of usefulness and influence. We
may have a right to be, and can be
excused just pride in cur Represen-
tative.

IT is said the President, the other
day, declared that those employees who
failed to respond to the party assess
ments for corruption funds for the elec-
tions, SHOULD not be subject to remo-
val or even criticism for such failure"
This is all very nice as a tardy conces.
sion to the general sentiment of disgust
which Hubble's circulars have produ-
ced, but there still remains deep ap.
prehension among the Government em-
ployes that those who do fail to step
up to captain "Hubble's Office" causes
other than the true one, may be found
to punish the delinquents. Nothing
now but a positive order TO the em-
ployes will relieve them Of the unjust
exactions.

HUBBELL's circular demanding DO
litical corruption money to elect Repub-
lican Congressman has the merit at
least of universality. No class or con-
dition from the cradle to the grave are
considered exempt from the extol tion,

under any circumstances, happen.
ed to have drawn few dollars from the
Treasury Of the country for work or
labor performed for the Government.
These exactiug missiles were recently
sent to boys employed about the Navy
Yard at Weshington-one of them de-
manding six dollars from boy who
had worked three days; another to
a lad, the only son of widow, calling
for sum greater than he ever earned
in public employ, while another was a
lad who had been dead six months be-
fore these Republican Congressman
discovered that robbery as well as
fraud was necessary and justifable to
secure an election.

AS a means to detect the alarming.
frauds annually committed upon the
Pension office by which millions are
drawn from the Treasury on fraudu-
lent and false claims, it is proposed to
publish a list of all who draw pensions.
arranged in such form that the COM
munity in which they are located will
be able to expose the spurious holders
of pension certificates. No honest PEN
sioner will object to such publication.
Their certificates are creditable badges
of honorable service, and they should
have no delicacy in having their names
published in any community, when the
detection of rascals may be expedited
by that means.

Delegate Elections.

committee in every election district in
the county, the following papers, to be
used in conducting the primary elec-
tions, viz: 1st paper headed " list of
voters" I'd tally paper" 3rd re-
turn sheet and certificate" and 4th a
copy of the act of Assembly "to regu-
late the holding Of, and to prevent
frauds in the primary elections of the
several political parties in Pennsylva-
MIA" The first three of these papers
are made under the rules of the party
governing Delegate elections. All
election boards should observe careful
ly rule seven, which is as follows ::
Each election board shall keep an
accurate list Of the names of all per-
sons voting at such election when the
list Of voters, together with a full and
complete return OF such election con-
tanning an accurate statement of the
persons elected delegates, and all in
structions voted, shall be certified by
said board to the county convention
upon printed blanks to be furnished
by the county committee"
This rule it will be observed requires
that the poll list, tally paper, return
sheet, and all papers relating to the
Delegate election shall be returned to
the convention. On the return sheet
and certificate, will be found the oath
to be taken by the persons holding the
delegate elections before they enter
upon the discharge Of their duties.
We would call the special attention Of
the persons appointed to hold the dele
gate elections to the 2d section of the
act Of Assembly furnished them with
the other papers mentioned. BY it, if
any judge, inspector, clerk, or other
officer of primary election shall pre-
sumo to act before taking the oath, he
shall on conviction, be fined not ex-
ceeding two hundred dollars. 1t puts
the same penalty upon any one of the
officers who shall willfully disregard
or violate the provisions Of any rule of
the party made for the government Of
primary elections, and the same penal
ty is imposed for rejecting the vote of
q person entitled to vote, or for receiv-
ing the vote Of any person not entitled
to vote. A penalty of five hundred
dollars is imposed upon any officer
who shall be guilty of fraud in the dis
charge of his duties, by destroying or
,defacing ballots, adding ballots to the
poll, stufiing the ballot box, false count.
ing, making false returns, or by any
other means whatever. TIE delegate
elections of last year should have heen
held under this act of assembly, but
were not. The elections this year will
so far as this county is concerned, be
the. first held under it. For ttis rea-
son We have been particular in call'Og
attention to its requirements. It
there be no mistake. The rules of the
party under which the delegate cleo
tions are held have been widely pub
lished and should be in the hands of
every member of the county commit
tees. For some two or three years
past, there has been no poll list and
but few tally papers or return sheets
returned as required by the rule quoted
above, to the convention. Th ze
things should not be. Officers are now
sworn. 1t is to be hoped that every
part of the Rules and the Law will be
rigidly carried out.
