sioners; knowing full well, howev-
er, that legislation affecting the cc-
cupation Of the people should be
cautious and conservative in meth
cd, not in advance Of public opin-
ion, but responsive to its demands.
The Democratic party is pledged
to revise the tariff in a spirit Of fair
ness to all interests.
The Civil Service.-The various
Offices Of the government belong to
the people thereof, who rightfully
demand to be allowed to exercise
and fill the same whenever they are
fitted by capacity, integrity and en-
ergy; the last two qualifications
never to be tested by any scholas-
tic examination. We hold that fire.
quent changes of Federal officers
are shown to be necessary, first, to
counterfeit the growing aristocratic
tendencies to a caste of life Offices;
second, experience having shown
that all investigation is useless
while the incumbent and his asso-
ciates hold their places. Frequent
changes Of officers is necessary to
the discovery and punishment Of
frauds, populations, defalcations
and entertainments Of the public
moaey.
Resolued, That we adhere to and
affirm the doctrine enunciated and
established by Jackson-that the
government alone has the power to
establish and issue money for the
people. That the Issue Of the legal
tender note made by the govern
ment as a method of borrowing
money to carry on the war, in the
exercise of a constitutional power,
has become the fixed policy of the
United States equally as coined
gold or silver. That neither poll
cy nor duty calls for any meddling
with it.

PLATFORM
OF
THE NATIONAL 9EA1!HA!!t Party,

The following is the synopsis of
the Platform adopted at Chicago,
on July Sth:
The Democratic party of the
Union, through its representatives
in National Convention assembled,
recognizes that as the nation grows
older new issues are born of time
and progress, and old issues perish,
but the fundamental principles of
the Democracy, approved by the
united voice Of the people, remain
and ever willie remain as the best
and only security for the continu-
anee of free government, the pre-
servation of the personal rights Of
the States, and the supremacy of
the Federal government within the
limits of the Constitution will ever
form the true basis of our liberties,
and can never be surrendered with
out destroying that balance Of
rights and powers which enable the
continent to develop in peace and
social order to be maintained by To-
cal self-government. 1t is indis-
pensable for the practical applica-
ton and enforcement of these fun
damental principles that the gov
eminent should not be controlled
by the same political party. A fire.
quent change of the administration
is as necessary as the constant re-
cu,rence to the popular will other
wise, abuses grow and the govern
ment, instead of being carried on
for the general welfare, becomes an
instrument for imposing heavy bur-.
dens on the many who are govern
ed for the benefit of the few who
govern-public servants thus be-
come arbitrary rulers. This is now
the condition of the country, and
hence a change is demanded. The
Republican party, so far as princi-
pie is concerned, is "reminiscences
in practice. 1t is an organization
for enriching those who control its
machinery. The frauds and jobbe-
ry which have been brought to light
in every department of the govern
ment are sufficient to have called
for reform within the Republican
party, yet those in authority, made
reckless by the long possession of
power, have succumbed to its cor
rupting influence and have placed
in nomination ticket, against
which the independent portion Of
the party are in open revolt
Therefore, a change is demanded.
Such change was alike necessary
in 1876, but the will Of the people
was then defeated by a fraud which
can never be forgotten nor con-
doned. Again, in 1880, the change
demanded by the people was de-
feated by the lavishness of money
contributed by inscriptions con-
tractors and shameless jobbers, who
had bargained for unlawful profits,
or for high Office.
The Republican party, during its
legal, its stolen and its bought ten
ures of power has steadily de.
cayed in moral character and polit.
ical capacity. Its platform promi.

der which American shipping has
been depressed; it imposed and has
continued those burdens. 1t pro-
fesses the policy of reserving the
public lands for small holdings by
actual settlers-it has given away
the peoples heritage till now a few
railroads and nonresident aliens,
individual and corporate, possess a
larger area than that of all our
farms between the two seas; it pro-
fesses preference for free institu-
tons; it organized and has tried to
legalize a control of the State cleo
tons by Federal troops; it processes
a desire to elevate labor-it has
subjected American workingmen
to the competition Of convict and
imported convict labor; it processes
gratitude to all who were disabled
or died in the war, leaving widow
and orphans: it has left to Dem
ocratic House of Representatives
the first effort to equalize both
bounties and pensions. 1t proffers
pledge to correct the irregulari-
ties Of our tariff; it created and has
continued them. Its own Tariff
Commission confessed the need Of
more than 20 per cent. reduction;
its Congress gave a reduction of
less than 2 per cent. 1t professe
the protection of American manu-
features; it has subjected them to
an increasing food Of manufactured
goods and a hopeless competition
with manufacturing nations, not
one of which taxes raw materials.
1t processes to protect all Ameri-
can industries. 1t has impover-
ished many to subsidize a few. It
has impoverished many to subsi-
die a few. 1t processes the pro-
lection of American labor-it has
depleted the returns of American
agriculture, an industry followed
by half our people. 1t processes
the equality of all men before the
law-attempting to fix the status
of colored citizens. The acts of its
Congress were overset by the deci-
sions Of its courts. 1t accepts a
new the duty Of leading in the
work Of progress and reform. Its
caught criminals are permitted to
escape through the contrived delays
or actual connivance Of the prose-
cution. Honey-combe with cor
ruption, outbreaking exposures no
longer shock its moral sense. Its
honest members and it's indepen-
dent journals no longer maintain a
successful contest for authority in
its counsels or veto upon a bad
nomination. That change is ne
cessary is proven by an existing
surplus Of more than 800, 100000,
which has yearly been collected
from suffering people. Unneces.
sary taxation is unjust taxation
We denounce the Republican par
ty for having failed to relieve thf
people from the crushing war taxes
which have paralyzed business
crippled industry and deprived la
Dor Of employment and Of its jus
reward. The Democracy pledge
itself to Dnrifv the administrator,

GRANT.

! Grant is now indeed no more.
lhroned on the highest pedestal
his countryman could have placed
INN, the favorite of fortune, the pet
of the world for 90 years, let us see
what in return he has done or
thought, worthy Of this universal
recognition. No one can point to
a single sentence or utterance of his
worth repeating or solitary act
worthy of emulation or praise dur
ing this long lapse of time. The
lesson of the failure in which he
was involved cost the country &c.
100000, and this lesson SO dearly
bought ought not to be thrown
away. For more than 20 wears
this great great man and his sons
have assumed to be the head of this
nation both abroad and at home.
The Gould's and Vanderbilt's.
whose millions were the outerowth
OF the war defied this man and
made him believe himselfimm
The American press and the Amer
lean people drawn in the wake and
whirlpool of all this wealth follow
ed blindly and added their contri-
button to his fast brown-stone hou-
ses, and heaped gifts upon gifts on
this man till nothing more on earth
remained for him to desire. He
was more than Alexander, more
than a Charlemagne, vastly more
than a Napoleon. Yet these be-
roes were industrious, and left the
world some good precepts and les
sons. In return for this unparal-
led example of a notions idolization
and generosity, he set a trap in
Wall street to betray the faith of
hose who blindly worshiped and
trusted in him. His renown de-
pended solely on having put to the
sword successfully great numbers of
his fellow creatures, and when re-
iuced to the rank of ordinary NOR
ais ne is very ordinary man after
III, and a great deal worse than
many ordinary men. Since Lee
urendered his sword to him at A.
'omattox, he has not done one good ,
Iced that will survive him. After
he most corrupt administrations ,
hat ever terminated eight years of /
residential life at the national cap-
tol, he visited the nations of the
7orld, travelling on the name of his I
chievements as general and presi- c
ent, to return home and attempt to i
e-install himself in the white house {;
gain. He has lost the sympathy
nd gratitude Of the republic by
be last disgracefal act with which 9
e was connected. He used the '
oble name and great honors which J
40 American people so generously .
estowed upon him to betray and
efraud them by those very means. q

ONE of the latest inventions is
a process for refreezing or super
freezing ice cream, SO that it can be
preserved for year. A New York
dealer showed a reporter q Nbrick"
of cream, wrapped in plain white
paper, and said: 1.-THE brick is half
chocolate, half vanilla. I can put
it away, and one year from to-day
it will be as good as it is now, exs
cept that the flavor will not be
quite 80 perfect. This is the way
we do up ocean steamship supplies.
