THE PLATFORM.

THE PLATFORM.
The democratic party of the Union.
through its representatives i'm national
convention assembled, recognize that,
as the nation grows older, new issues
are born of time and progress and old
issues perish, but the fundamental
principles Of democracy, approved by
the united voice of the people, remain
and will ever remain as the best and
only security for the continuance of
free government. The preservation of
personal rights, the equality of all per-
sons before the law, the reserved rights
of the states and the supremacy of the
federal government within the limits
of the convention will ever form the
true basis of our liberties and can new
er be surrendered without DESTROYING
that balance of the rights and powers
which enables a continent to be devel-
oped in peace, and order to be main
tained by means of local self-goyern-
ment, but it is indispensable for the
practical application and enforcement
of these fundamental principles that
the government should not always be
controlled by one political party. FIRE.
quent change of administration is as
necessary as constant recurrence to the
popular viii, otherwise abuses grow,
and the government, instead of being
carried on for the general welfare, be-
comes an instrumentality for Imposing
heavy burdens on the many who are
governed for. the benefit of the few who
govern. Public servants thus become
arbitrary rulers. This is now the con-
dition of the country, hence a change
is demanded. The republican party,
so far as principle is concerned, is a
"reminiscences: iH practice, it is an or
ganiZation~ for enriching those who
control its machinery. The frauds and
jobbing which has been brought to light
in every department of the government
are sufficient to have called for reform
in the republican party, yet those in
authority, made reckless by the
LONG POSSESSION OF POWER,
have suceumbed to its corrupting infiu-
enee, and have placed in nomination a
hCket against which tire independent
portion OF the party are in open revolt.
Therefore change is demanded. Such
a change was alike necessary in 1875.
but the win of the people was defiedi by
fraud which can never be forgotten
nor condoned. Again in 1880 the
lavish use Of money contributed by un-
scrupulous contractors and shameless
jobbers, who had bargained for unlaw-
ful profits or for high Offices. The re-
publican patty during its legal, rs sto-
len and its bought tehures Of power,
has steadily decayed in moral charac-
ter and political capacity. It's platform
promises are now list of its past fail
ures; it demands the restoration of our

house claimed by Mrs Ward, Mr.. Banys
representing the Marine Bank, said 1t was
notorious that Ward knew he was insolvent
when he transferred this and other proper
ty to his wife. He said Ward had trans
ferred property worth 100000 for
Sl7O, 900, and had robbed the bank
of the former amount The jury
valued the property at 100000
and found for Mrs. Ward. Before
starting for Europe Saturday William II.
Vanderbilt returned to General and Mrs.
Grant the deeds for their property, which
they had transferred to him in payment Of
the $3.50, 900 check he gave the General
some days ago, receiving a worthless check
of Grant Il Ward in return He said Grant
could pay the amount of the check at his
leisure.
NEW YORK, May la-Ferdinand Ward
filed an assignment yesterday for the benefit
of his creditors. The assignment covers all
his property Of whatsoever kind, and first
directs payment of Wards individual in
debtedness, the balance to be applied to the
discharge Of his liability In the firm OF
Grant & Ward
Bank Examiner Scriba's preliminary re-
port of the condition OF the Marine Bank
shows that when the institution closed its
debts were 81, 500, 900, and its ACTUAL assets
| 81, 900, 900. He says the concern Is hope
essly insolvent and must be wound up by
u receiver.
The report was current at the Windsor
Hotel that President Arthur had lost money
by the failure OF Grant Il Ward having in
vested it through Shoemaker, Dillon Il Co.
Mr. Henry +. Shoemaker, of this firm, is a
preferred creditor of Fred Grant and Jesse r
Grant for SITS, 900. His partner, Mr.J. Rhine
lander Dillon, called upon the President
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel Saturday. Presi
dent Arthur's secretary, Mr.. Reed, said last
night that he thought the report that the
President had lost by the failure was untrue.
Comptroller Cannon has appointed Walter
S. johnson receiver for the Marine Bank.
Ward, who is watched by seven detectives,
made an additional assignment yesterday to
facilitate the delivery of his property to his
creditors. When his affairs are settled, he
says, he will be penniless, and will probably
go to his brothers ranch in Colorado.
TORONTO, Can, May 10. Smith s. Cor
negie, accountants from Scotland, have been
here recently examining the affairs Of the
British Canadian LAUNDERING and Timber
Company on behalf of Scotch capitalists,
the result being that the company has as
signed to representative OF these capita /.
lists. The liabilities are placed at 81, 900, 900
and the assets are triflng. The failure of
the American Lumber Company injured the
other company, otherwise the assets would
have been much better. Among the credit
ors are the Bank of Commerce, $3.50, 900 {;
Toronto, 500, 900; Quebec, $3.50, 200, partly
secured.
