The New York EUeRiag Post, a
Republican paper, has this tosayyof
the platform adopted by the Ohio
Republicans:
The platform adopted by the Con-
vention gives evidence of the embar-
rassment under which its makers la
bored, and they seem to have labor
ed veiy hard. The most difficult
subject was that of the liquor ques-
tion.
That the Ohio Republicans would
declare for a protective tariff was to
be expected. But when they went
so far US to demand the earliest pos
sible restoration of the wool tariff of
1866, they made, in our opinion, a
grave mistake even Us protectionists.
In denying the character of last win
ter's tariff act as a fnality the Ohio
protectionists have given away their
strongest card.
1t is difficult TO speak with patience
of the resolution favoring "the repeal
of the law limiting the time within
which applications for pensions un-
der the Arrears of Pension Act shall
be made" The Arrears of Pension
Act itself was a scandal. If it had
any mitigating feature it was the
provision limiting the time for max.
ing applications. 70 ask for the
breaking down even of this slight
barrier is an unblushing bid, not fol
the honest soldiers vote-for sol
diers honestly entitled to pension
have made their applications long
ago-but for the favor of tie scamps
who, eighteen years after the close
Of the war, are still III search of s
pretext on which to trump up a pen
sion claim, and Of the claim agents
who are eager to help them.

In m editorial on saCottop and

In an editorial on aCotton and
Conscience" the Raleigh GSNeses
says: Before civil law was estab
lished at the South the Government
seized cotton, etc, belonging 10 the
Southern pee pie worth $7S,oo0,000.
This property was sold for $4,000,
900. OF these cash proceeds the
aVetioneers and agents pocketed &c.
100000. The Government covered
into the treasury $10,500,000 and
the property owners get back $l5,'
100000. And they don't-cail that
stealing. The Republican conscience
is elastic"

The New York Sun concludes an
editorial on the rottenness and cor,
ruption existing in the Republican
party by saying "there is no safety
for the country except in turning
out the Republican party, and get

fastened upon every branch of the
public SERVICE"

Tragedy follows tragedy in the
Dukes case that stirred all Pennsyl
sania so re months ago. 1t will be
remembered that Dukes, q lawyer of
Uniontown and member Of the Penn
sylvania Legislature, who had been
charged with the ruin of a young
woman named Mutt, got into an al
Lercation with her father, whom he
shot and killed. Upon the trial last
March Dukes displayed the utmost
shamelessness, and brought addi-
tional shame upon the Mutt fami y,
whose head he had slain, Dy bring,
ing the foulest charges against the
young woman of whose ruin he was
accused; but he was acquitted by the
jury on the ground of self defence.
The indignation of the people of Tn
ion,own was uubounded; he was
hanged in etfigy at their meetings of
ten~unciation: he was stunned by
The whole community as a monster,
he could find no place Of shelter, and
he was made the subject of moral
essays in newspapers throughout the
country. Now, alter months of wan
dering and wretchedness, Dukes
was shot to death by the young wo.
man Nuts brother, who riid!ed his
body with four bullets, on the 18th
inst. Nobody seems to have any
sympathy for the miserable wretch
shot down like a dog. 1t is a whole.

The Republican platform declares
in favor of abolishing the p.ison cor
tract system. That declaration is a
piece of demagoguery. The last
Legislature was two thirds Republi-
can majority in both branches. A
bill was before that Legislature at
both sessions to abolish the prison
contract system, and on several &C.
c%asions came up and was voted on.
On every vote taken the measure
vas overwhelmingly killed by the
Republican majority.

The Grand Army of the Republic
has been swindled by a scheme call
ed the Veteran Mining Company. A
recent, meeting at Denver declared
that this company had no title to
the land in which the mines are sit
uated, even if the mines themselves
have any value, which is a matter OF
serious doubt. The chief mining
has been done in the pockets of those
credulous comrades who trusted to
recommendations of the scheme by
officers of the society. Misus:ng the
Grand Army for personal ends is,
however, an old experience, and we
advise the Post in Preble county to
keep on the 'slook out" for there is
not a shadow ofdoubt that men have
gone into it hoping to use it for their
own advancement. We see it plain.

turn to this, with Governor Foster
