Democratic Platform.

1t is not a healthy sign for he
Democratic party that such graf
difficulty should have been eXperielc-
ed in framing an acceptable platform.
IF the party knew just what it te-
lieves, what it will support and whit
condemn, the resolutions could hare
been frame in few hours. lnste,d
three days were consumedIn the worl,
and finally the Convention was col-
PEELED to admonish the Committee m
Resolutions to complete the work. A
platform framed under such conditions
could scarcely fail to be platform If
compromises. That is what this is. t
straddles the questions upon which t
should haye been outspoken, and ii
this way it must inevitably sacrific,
much to gain a little. We are net
sure what Democratic policy woull
be as outlined by the Democratic pla,-
form. 1t is easy enough to arraigl
the Republicans after twenty-five
years of power, but something NOR
was expected Of the Democrats. Even
the tariff plank was such an arraign-
ment, for it is neither Protection nor
Free Trade-it is a bold declaration
against the Republicans for falling to
reduce taxation, but it will not be ov-
erlooked that it is more in the face of
the failure of Il Democratic House OF
Representative to do better. That
unnecessary taxation is unjust taxa
ton, is true, as the platform afirms;
but either Democratic House should
have made an honest effort to reduce
the war taxes or the Democratic plat
form should show Just how the party
means to do it. This issue is dodged
by means of Understanding phrases
that mean nothing, and so the Demo
cratic platform is unsatisfactory II
promising too little, just as the Re
publican platform is unsatisfactory il
promising too much.-New YorI
Truth, (Dem.)

Free Trade ~, Protection.
SUPERIOR, Wis, JulY15, 1881

SUPERIOR, Wis, July15, 1884.
EDITOR TIMEs--'The protection
theory has now been tested in Iowa
for over twenty years, during which
time the farmers have paid double
prices for almost everything they have
bought, while they have had to take
competition prices for whatever they
had to SELL" At least that is what the
Free Traders" claim, and they will
give you to understand by implication
if not by positive assertion, that there
has been no increase in the prices paid
for the farm products, but rather de-
cline in prices. But let us see. How
will the prices for farm staples, such
as wheat, corn and pork in the days of
Democratic rule and free trade times
compare with the prices for the same
commodities today under Republican
rule and the protective plan? l will
give you a few figures, which, as they
are matters of record and not Of the
fancy, may be of interest.

A Sensational story About Cleveland.

Buffalo Special: The evening Tele
graph tonight prints three columns Of
highly sensational story of Govern
or Cleveland's private life. The story
is that he wronged Miss Mary Halpin
something less than ten years ago and
refused to marry her. Becoming des-
pendent, she lost her position in a dry
goods store and took to drink. One
night in the fall of 1877, the story says,
Cleveland employed two detectives to
abduct Miss Halpin, and they did so,
placing her III an insane asylum and
taking her little boy home to Cleve-
lands mother The asylum authorities
released the woman in few days. She
then raised such howl that Cleve-
land finally agreed to give $500 cash
if she would surrender the boy, Oscar
Folsom, to Cleveland This she did,
and the child now lives with Cleve-
land and is the image of the Governor.
The paper gives many details and the
publication has created a sensation.

Not Very Enthusiastic.
The Lancaster, Wis, Teller of
last week comments on its Democra-
tic National ticket after this fashion:
SO the Democratic ticket is:

30 the Democratic ticket Is:
For President
GROVER CLEVELAND of New York
For Vice President
THOS. \. HENDRICKS, of Indiana
The Teller will not say it is not a
good ticket. But the Democratic con
yention did not do what it should have
done. Cleveland has never done any
thing for the Democrtic party that we
know of. He has been sheriff of his
county, mayor of his city. and govern
or of his state, but these places were
all taken on his own account, not fo1
his party's sake. The convention
would have honored itself much more
if it had nominated Thurman or Bay
ard, or if it had placed Hendricks first
and Cleveland second. The popular
enthusiasm some look for to follow the
name Of Cleveland will not come tc
any general extent Even in New
York there is danger that the enthu-
siasm will freeze to the icicle "inde.
pendents." Thurman would have
drawn many more Republican votes
than Cleveland Will The fact is thai
III New York it was the Blaine re
publicans that voted for Cleveland fol
governor and gave him his big major.

can of the nation. The democrats
should have given the people the fore
most democrat to vote for

did the federalists.
