NATURAL AND NECESSARY
ISSUE.

The Democracy can adopt no platform
that will not be misrepresented by the
..protected" classes and the Republican
politicians; and we can propose no ame
Iteration Of the abuses of the existing
tariff. without being stigmatized as
..free traders" In this hue and cry
against any and all reform in our tariff,
we concede that some protected Dem
ocrats, especially in Pennsylvania, will
Join; and so far it may be true that the
party will inevitably ''be divided" To
avoid this. suppose we declare for a
Democratic protection" policy as against
Republican protection" does any ra-
tional Democrat contend that, leaving
out all question Of principle and looking
solely to the chances of catching votes,
we should be more likely to succeed :
We believe that progress has been made
within the last two Presidential terms in
this country in the direction of revenue
reform Tor, if they must have it so, to-
ward free trade). Now, We have carried
the country but once since the Republi-
can party got possession of the Govern
ment. That was in the election of Mr..
Tilden. Did our platform then declare
for protection 2" On the contrary, did it
not distinctly and unequivocally advo-
cate "a tariff for revenue" Again, is
there any Western State where '~'protec-
ton" has a stronger hold Of the voters
than Ohio? And there, at the last cleo
ton, George Hoadly was elected Gov
ernor on the largest vote ever cast in the
State, with the exception Of Garield's
Presidential year, by . clear majority
over the Republican, Prohibition and
Greenback candidates. And yet, the
Democratic party, instead of p%ronounc-
ing for protection" put forth the fol-
lowing clear, ringing declaration of its
principles:
"We favor the tariff for revenue, linn
tied to the necessities of the Govern
ment economically administered, and so
adjusted in its application as to prevent
unequal burdens, encourage productive
industries at home and afford just COM
pensation to labor, but not to create or
foster monopolies."
And the New York World adds
On this platform, despite al attack of
sickness which withheld him from active
participation in the campaign; despite
Misrepresentation, detraction and abuse;
despite serious dissatisfaction and open
local revolts in the Democratic ranks; in
the face of a united Republican party,
the power of Federal patronage, the OPP
position of corporations and the unscrup-
ulous use of money, George Hoadly was
elected Governor, receiving 800, 600 votes
and a majority of $4,000.
The Ohio platform spoke the honest
sentiments of the large majority of the
Democracy of the United States.
Only on such a platform or something
like it can the electoral vote of the State
of New York be secured for the Demo-
cratic candidate for President in this
years election

A Tragedy.

One of our many contributors has sent
us the following about the omuipresent
cat New:
A tom cat sat on garden fence on one
of the streets of the town, and the tom
cat cared not fifteen cents who heard his
vesper bleat For another cat had won
the love of the tabby he loved best, and
his wrath was high DER the man above in
the chamber trying to rest. He bumped
his back in strange wild form, with
many spit and snarl, like the rainbow
after summer storm, or the hoops of a
whisky barl And he sang dirge in a
fierce, wild yowl. and louder the dirge it
grew, like Barnums lions when they
growl, or Sioux Camps wild haloo Then
up rose the weary soul of the man i'll the
chamber high, and from his lips did swear
words roll till they pelted against the sky
All softly did the weary man tip toe to
the window pane, and when he saw the
cat, began to slaughter language again. A
thought illumed his pale, cold face
remorse at his vitals preyed he thought
of his childhood's day of grace and the
wicked words he said. Then he knelt
down on the carpet there, by the bed, his
head on the clothes; and composed himself
to breathe prayer, while the blood in his
vitals froze. For there came yell thai
cracked his ear and the plaster within the
room, as if his palsied soul would hear the
thunder drums Of doom. Then, kneeline
there, ne changed his mind; he forgot
alas, to pray, but some thing in the room
to find, he tries in frantic way. Their
up arose the window sash, the cat, oh
where was he? Ask of the fragments
that did smash the silence on the lea

The Cirnue

The circus has come and gone. So far
as the crowd was concerned it was slim
and orderly. The people from the country
did not turn out to any large extent The
performances were well rendered. The
performers, in their line were experts.
The trained dogs were novelty to see,
and amusing to behold in their queer
actions. The side show with the circus
was like all other side shows. There were
two Circassian girls-so called-with the
side show. One was dandy, atnleast we
heard the boys say as much. She had
pictures of herself for sale. The country
boys would crowd around her, and she
would smile SO sweetly on them that they
would buy picture every trip. This is the
way of the world, though every man
don't see it alike For our part the only
thing that we saw to admire about the
Circassion girl was her blue colored stock
ings. They, at hast, were strikingly
beautiful The circus exhibits in Daven-
port today and tonight.

Old Joe Danforth is at loggerheads with
the national state committee. 1t was
supposed that everything was harmonious
in the camp of the national party, but it
seems not. Dantorth has already made
himself obnoxious in this party, as he has
in all others. Because they wouldn't let
him run the whole machine, he has
soured on them, and now proceeds to
abuse them in every issue of his sixth day
rehash. AS consequence old Joe is shut
out completely, and they win hardly allow
him to attend one of their conventions.
This is bitter gall and NORWOOD to old
Joe, who had expected to shine as polit
ical God among the nationals. Here he
is sat down upon by his own friends. and
told to soak his head, as it were. Poor,
