WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
From our Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, June -, 1884.

The Democratic party having no
principles to advocate, being dlvid-
ed upon every question likely to be
presented to the people, in search OF
an issue to present, whereby 1t
might get possession of the Nation
al Government, had finally settled
upon what is termed the grievance
of 1876, and "the old ticket" it
was determined should be nominal
ed, and the "great fraud" (?) and
"to right the wrong" were to be the
shiboleths that were to carry them
to victory in November. All the
preparations had been made and the
shouters placed in order, but the let
ter of Mr.. Tilden, which we had
predicted three months ago, has
completely upset all their calcula-
tions, and now the utmost conster-
nation and confusion relgns,
Here the letter was as clap OF
thunder in a clear sky except to the
few who were on the inside, and
the terror of the innocents has been
fearful to behold. The majority
cannot seem to realize the situation,
and are crying over the fact that
now they have absolutely nothing
to present except the bald issue that
they want the Republicans turned
out and the Democrats turned in,
Mr.. Tilden's letter, while a great
disappointment to the many, hat

THE PLATFORM.
{ Toledo BJGds.)

Platforms are sometimes import
ant, and sometimes not. Whether
they mean anything or not depends
very much upon who makes them,
and the spirit behind them. A res
olution denouncing municipal cor
ruption by John Kelly, and voted
through with hurrah by men of
his ilk, would have no meaning, any
more than would resolutions de-
nouncing railroad wrccking and the
buying Of electoral votes by Con
yention Of TiIdens. Neither would
especially impress the people.
The platform adopted by the Re
publican Convention at Chicago is
thoroughly admirable. 1t is as plain
as words can make it, 1t says just
enough and not too much. 1t does
not promise the people a millennium
under Republican rule, nor does it
pledge the party to impossibilities
but it does set forth the views of the
party upon all questions now before
the people, in clear, distinct, une
quiyocal way.
It declares for a Tariff which
shall be something more than "foI
Revenue only" 1t would have thu
collection of duties arranged no
only for revenue, but for protection

up of infant industries, Admitting
that there are faults in the presen
Tariff it pledges the party to col
rect them, as fast as it can be don
without injury to vital interests
Nothing can be clearer than the pc
sltion the party has taken upon thi
question,
Equally clear and distinct is tn
position taken upon money and il
ter-state commerce. The Ropubl
can party is pledged to the prote,
tion.of the people against the eI
croachment of consolidated cal
ital, and the pledge means som
thing.

OUR COUNTY CONVENTION.

As our county convention occurs
previous to another Issue of our pa
per, viz: next Wednesday, it may
be we'll to say a word in relation to
the daty of the voters Of the county.
As much as has been said on this
subject, and as well as we all know
our duty in respect to primary
meetings how much do we fall short
Of its performance! If it is import
ant to elect good men to office-if it
is important to maintaia eur princi-
ples-if harmony is desired, the vot-
ers cannot excuse themselves from
seeing to it personally that the work
of the convention is not neglected.
If the interests Of the party require
n particular man to be nominated it
should be looked to in the conven-
ton. If reasons exist why partic-
ular man should not be nominated
they should be urged there. Much
is being said about combinations
and machine politics. Let the peo-
pile attend the conventions and then
if any combination exists they will
all be included in it. The few can
only make up the slate when the
public permit them to; and that
permission amounts to almost an &C.
quiescence, making those who neg
lect to attend only little less cen
surable than those who do attend
and do the work. What is there il
the organization or conduct of 6
convention which prevents any vot
CT participating in it aud freely ex
pressing his views? A free, fail
expression of the opinion of the vo
ters in convention is as important a.
a full vote at the polls. Let all turn
out, look over our officers, see wht
has done his work well, who ough
to be retained and who rejected, an(
what new, untried men ought to b.
put in place. Fault finding afte
the convention always produces re
suits which any true and good maj
will regret, and however much oc
casion there may be for it neve
remedies but always aggravates tn
evils to which it is aimed. We ar
glad to congratulate the voters o
the county on having had faithful
and honest officials during the past
and hope We may be equally fortu
nate in the future. Above all thing
let us be candid, conciliatory an,
unselfsh, and have true expression
of the wishes Of our people, pre-
cured with lively interest, but with
out undue influence. The conyen
ton is to be a mass convention, an
we hope for an unusually large at
tendance.

rope, is denounced and very proper.
~ The Republican party will well
come to our shores the citizens of
the world, but having abolished ne
gro slavery it viii not have bondage
in another form.
The resolutions relating to Civil
Service Reform, Land Monopoly,
Pensions, the Navy, Territorial APP
pointments, and the Mormon Prob
lem, are all clear and easily under
stood. There is no equivocation, no
double-dealing, no sentences that
admit of two constructions.
The States Rights plank is just as
clear. The Union is not a mere con-
federation of States, but a Nation.
1t is not a rope of sand. The re-
served rights of the States are rec
ognized, but, within its sphere, the
National Government is pronounced
paramount.
This platform means something,
because it is only recapitulation of
the history Of the party from its or
ganization, There is no juggling
with words, 40 declarations which
are meaningless and made only to
catch votes. The past is guaranty
for the future. The Republican
party fought long and bloody war
for the destruction of Slavery and
the heresy of States Rights which
was its support. 1t has maintained
tariff system ever since its begin,
ming, under which our manufactures
have been increased miraculously,
and which has given prosperity tc
every department Of labor, and ii
has protected agriculture and nursed
diversified industries, 1t has done
whatever has been done for the pro
lection of American artisans, against
imported contract labor. 1t has
given the country the best system Of
money the world ever saw, ant
whatever has been accomplished il
the direction Of Civil Service Re
form, the Republican party is to b'
credited with.
The organization has never beer
ashamed of its principles, and ha
never deserted them for temporar!
success. When the Greenback craz'
swept over the country the Democ
racy seized it as drowning maj
does straw, and achieved a veto
ry. The Republican party, true t.
its record and true to the people
accepted defeat in the interest o
honest money. The cutlery agains
the National banking system wa
met in the same spirit, and the re
suit was the same. AT once conser
vative and progressive, embracin!
all the best elements in our ciyillza
ton, when the Republican part.
enunciates a principle it means it
and the people may be sure that it
professions will crystalize into prac
tice. 1t has past of which it
proud, and it will do nothing in tn
future that will shame it.
The platform is an admirable one
and it will be accepted by vas
: majority of the American people.

A Counteract Stampede (7)

The Mineral Argus is trying to
cOunteract the stampede to the Little
Rockies, by gold-hnd in the Judith
mountains. Won't work, old man.
Benton Record.
The MINERAL ARGUS is trying to do
nothing of the kind. Just the reverse,
our statements regarding the Little
Rockies and the Judith mountains, are
cold facts, so cold that they freeze thy
young blood, Buck.
1t is to be expected that when bam-
boozled miners return from a forlorn
gold expedition and strike such des-
perate, eager news reporters as Benton
can boast of, that they will give the
diggings-which they have left in dis
gust-a glowing send off, knowing that
the innocent pencil pusher never saw
placer diggings, and to him all that
glitters is gold, and it will all be in the
paper you know, to get some other
miner to stampede and go broke.
If you want the facts about the Lit
tie Rockies and the Judith mountains,
visit any established mining camp
where you will find nothing but TRUTH
about rich strikes is told.

EOITOR!AL cORREsPONDENcE.
TOLEDO, Ohio, Oct. I'd, g


Here l am, in Toledo, the county
seat of Lucas county and the place Of
my nativity. Toledo is a quiet,
wealthy old city, located on the Mau-
NEE river, about sixteen miles from
Lake Erie. 1t has become quite
railroad centre in the last four years,
while its lake and river traffic has
greatly increased. Although three
times as old as St. Paul or Minneap-
oils, tho western cities have nearly
twice the population. The people
though generally prosperous, lack the
public spirit and enterprise Of the
west. This, you know, IS the home of
Petroleum V. Nasby." (Locke) He
is the proprietor of the Toledo Blade,
which has been established some thirty
years, "Nasby's aged father, lives out
at the western limit, of the city, and is
considered a ''good old Methodist
ss-leader." His talented son once
asked him if he twas never wild when
he was young" "Perhaps; but never
as wild as you are" was the fathers
reply. There are four daily papers
published here, the Blade, Bee, Post
and Commercial, all of which sell for
one and two cents each, small in size,
with news terribly condensed, making
no pretentions towards vey6atIm re-
ports of anything.
Politics is at present the all absorb
ing topic of conversation in Ohio
Meetings are Icing held night and
day all over the state, and every vii
lage and farm house in Northern Ohio
has had its pole raising; at least so
it seems from the railroad car. The
Democratic poles are usually hickory,
while the Republican poles are of ash
or other timber which is hard to ascer-
tain without close inspection. Which
one is seen the most on a journey
from Chicago, depends considerably
upon a ''feller's feelins." When l
was in doubt about a pole, it became
convenient to take a nap.
The State election occurs here on
the second Tuesday in Oct, the I4th
inst, and as it will determine how the
ballots will drop in the presidential
contest, a month later, both parties
are making hard fight to carry the
state, with chances about even at
present. An uncertain element in the
contest is the attitude of the Germans
who have hitherto been republicans
If they vote with the republicans, the
success of that party is assured, if not,
it will be the closest contest evel
known in Ohio.
Blaine will arrive here Monday
afternoon. Although anxious to re.
turn to Montana as soon as possible
have concluded to remain over unit

was waiting to see him, perhaps he
would curtail his visit at Cleveland
