For President, Belva Lockwood, o.
Washington. For Vice President
Charles A. Dana, Of New York,
Platform: Isn't it just too lovely.
This is the way Truth puts it and
adds: "That it should excite opposi-
ton is only natural. But why is the
opposition 81 vicious? 1t has already
formulated a set of charges against
our Belva, ana it is even trying to
ridicule our Charley. 1t intimates,
for fnstan &c, that in the race in which
MI. Dana is to take a conspicuous
part he may ride with his head to-
ward the tail of the bounding steed.
We should like the enemy to under
stand that a bicycle has no tail. Be
sides. it imputes as a fault only short
of a crime the fact that Mrs. Lock-
rides a tricycle.. What is to come
next? If the opposition asserts that
Mrs. Lockwood's tricycle. is without
a side-saddle we hope she will bring
a libel suit at once and conduct the
case herself.
Against the rest of the charges we
are sure Mrs. Lockwood can afford to
turn away IN lofty scorn. In the
matter of Mr. Lockwood's buttonl. IS
shirts she a afford to despise the
allegation and the alligator, at least
until Mr.. L. complains. In regard
to the young man she is alleged to
have Tilted in Ohio, the story is man
ifestly untrue, for he is in New York
now editing a newspaper. In regard
to the bruised and discolored con-
dition of Mr.. Lockwood's eyes, if he
is living, let her foes appeal toa po-
lice magistrate or forever after hold
their peace. But in the matter of
the hash, which the opposition init
mates, by inuendo, is not what it
should be, the true policy for Mrs.
is simply to "tell the
TRUTH"
While the enemy confines its as
saults on Mrs. Lockwood we shall
not feel alarmed, but we implore it
not to say cruel things against Mr..

The depression in the manufac.
turing districts, the shutting down OF
mills, the reduction of wages and the
general discomfort among laborinp
people throughout the country is a
source of great annoyance to the Re
publican managers of the prosperity
campaign. Mr.. Blaine carried Maine
the other day by about 10, 900 major
lty, and since then two big cotton
mills in the town of B.ddeEord. in
that State, have determined to shut
down on account of the depression in
the market, and this in a State lust
carried on the platform of "Prote.-
ton to American Industry" The
aforesaid managers are put to their
Wits ends to explain this condition
of affairs.

DEMOCRATIC BELIEFS.

The Democratic party believes that
labor is best rewarded where it is
freest and most enlightened. It de-
mands in behalf of American labor
that taxes be reduced to the end that
the country may compete with I'M
hindered powers for the primacy
among nations in all the arts of peace
and fruits of liberty. 1t insists
that it is the duty of the government
to protect with equal fidelity and
vigilance the rights of it's citizens,
native and ~naturalized, at home and
abroad.
1t believes that legislation affecting
the operations of the people should
be cautious and conservative in
method, not in advance of public
opinion but responsive to its de-
mands. Hence the party is pledged
to revise the tariff in a spirit of fair
ness to all interests. But in making
reduction in taxes it is not proposed
to iDjure any domestic industries, but
rather to promote their healthy
growth. AS its platform says: From
the foundation of this government
taxes collected at the custom house
have been the chief source of Federal
revenue. Such they must continue
to be. This is not free trade doctrine.
Moreover, many industries have
come to rely upon legislation for cue
cessful continuance, so that any
change of law must be at every step
r~egardful of the labor and capital in
volved. Hence the process of reform
must be subject to this plain dictate
of justice.
1t believes that all taxation shall
be limited to the requirements of
economical government. Money &C.
cumulated beyond its wants is a
temptation to fraud and corruption.
in the language of the Nation
al Democratic platform, the necessary
in taxation can and must
be effected "without depriving
labor of the ability to CON-
pete successfully with foreign labor,
and without imposing lower rates of
luty than will be ample to cover any
increased cost of production which
nay exist in consequence of the
rate of wages prevailing in
his country"
With this statement of the beliefs
md purposes of the Democratic
the great Issue of reform and
in the administration of the
is submitted to the pee
lie with the confidence that the popu-
ar voice will pronounce in favor of
Iew men and new and more favor I
BILE conditions for the growth of in !
ustry, the extension Of trade, the
and due reward of
Ibor ard of capital and the general
'elfare of the whole country.

He had often been before CONVEX

been friends for years and he rejolced
with him in this his hour of triumph
and would pledge his honest and
hearty support to him in the coming
campaign. Like Mr.. Pemberton he
has got his first ticket to scratch.
MI. s. touched upon the subject OF

On account of the holding of thu
Republican County Convention as
we'll as the NEE ting of the delegates
to the Territorial Democratic Con.
vention, the little city of Deer Lodge
was crowded with strangers. The
harmony of the entire proceedings

band turned out, the bugles sounded

ONeii's theatre was packed from pit
to dome with an eager and enthusi-

After several selections bad been
rendered by the band, DIR. A. H.
Mitchell introduced Col. w. Y. Penn
berton, the present incumbent and
new nominee for the office of prose-
cutting attorney for the Second Judi
cial District. His remarks were those
o a generous, high minded and noble
man. His words OF eloquence had
mat influence ever recognized by in
telllgent minds. In his argumenta-
tive reasonings, self-con viction to the
sentiments uttered was manifps,.
Loyalty to patty, fealty to Demo
cratic principles, urgency of action
and work IN the coming campaign,
with its glorious results were en-.
phatically advocated.
He recognized the great ability, the

POLITICAL ASSESSMENTS.

Professor Gregory's letter upon pc
litical assessments deserves more at
tention upon the part of Government
officials than it will receive. TIL,
Professor, being at the head of tn,
civil service commission, feels calico
upon, at this j~uncture in the present
campaign, to utter a note of warning
to Federal employees. The Professo,
will not be thanked for his pains by
Mr.. Blaine's managers nor will bis
conclusion concerning the meaning
and intent Of the civil service law BE-
needed by them. They want money
to carry on the campaign. "Soap'
is needed in New York, Ohio, Indi-
ana, Wisconsin,, New Jersey and
Connecticut. The Republican Ma
tional Committee has sent circulars
to Federal officers and employees in
forming them of the fact. Here and
there one is found who refuses to con-
tribute to the corruption fund, but
the great mass of them submit to the
extortion and retain their positions.
These who fail are remembered and
their places are generally filled by
more ~subservient tools. These ale
facts which no one having a
knowledge of the workings of politi-
cal machinery cal deny.
The civil service law is a good one,
but the provision providing political
assessment doesn't amount to a row
of pins. Any party in power can
violate it with impunity. The party
out of power is the one that cannot,
1t is true, as the Professor says,
that a Government CLERK works for
the Government and not for a party, !
but it is the party that gives him the
position and makes him a clerk.
The clerk, recognizing this fact and
feeling his obligations generally re-
to calls for aid to keep the
party in power. This will be the
case until public and party sentiment
IS educated to regard calls upon Fed
eral employees for money t. carry
elections as a crime to be visited by
'evere penalties.
