What Does 1t Mean ?

The Cincinnati Enquirer is ac-
counted a great newspaper, and has
for years been the head and front, if
not the brains, of the Democratic
party in Ohio. Hence, when one
wants strictly reliable Democratic
news, one naturally turns to the En-
quirer. We must confess however
that this, taken from last Friday
issue, is a sumner. It.appears in the
proceedings Of the National Prohibi-
ton Convention, at Pittsburgh:
1.-THE Congressional Convention
again convened, and the motion to
nominate Ebert by acclamation was
again taken up. Ralph Leete said he
would be a candidate il they would
agree to meet the issue of protection,
which he denounced as ,clap-trap,
fairly. Ebert was then named with
enthusiasm, and was called to the
stage. He is German of keen intel
ligence, strict integrity, fine appear
ance and engaging manners. He de-
nounced the tariff for protection, and
planted himself squarely for tariff
for revenue only. He said the Amer
lean workingman should be ashamed
to ask for protection. He needs none:
the world cannot compete with him.
The Congressional Committee was
made as follows: Jackson, Henry
Olendorf; Lawrence, Ralph Leete;
Pike, Samuel McAllister; Scioto, John
M. Lynn, and Vinton, j. NJ. McGil-
livray.
THE PLATFORM.
The platform enforces the views OF
the party concerning the manufacture
Of and traffic in alcoholic beverages,
and arraigns the Republican: party
for its neglect to enact or enforce
prohibitory measures. The party, it
declares, should no longer be intrusted
with the powers and responsibilities
of government"
1t may be possible that in making
up the forms, the printers got the
Congressional Convention at Ports
mouth and the Prohibition Convention
mixed. This is perhaps the first time
that some Of the gentlemen named
have ever appeared in Prohibition
Convention.

comporting with the proper dignity the occa-
sion, is of deep gravity to the American people
in double sense.
First-It is in violation, open, DIRECT and fragrant,
of the primary principle upon which our Govern
supposed viz: that the control the
Government is participated in by all legally qualified
citizens lin accordance with the plan of popular Gov
ernmeni that majorities must rule in the decision of
all questions
second-It in violation of the rights and interests
the States wherein are particularly centered
wealth and industries of the Nation and which
pay overwhelming portion of the National taxes.
The immense aggregation ofinterests embraced with
in, and the enormously greater population of these
other States of the Union, subjected every four
years the dangers of wholly fraudulent show of
numerical strength.
Under this system minorities actually attempt to
the national affairs, and though to
this time has not attended their efforts to
elect President, yet success has been so perilousy
imminent as to encourage repetition of the effort at
at each quadrennial election, and to subject the
interests of an overwhelming majority of our people
North and South to the hazards of illegal subversion
The stereotyped argument in refutation of these
plain truths is that if the Republican element was
really in the majority they could not be deprived Of
their rights and privileges by minority; but nefth-
statistics of population nor the unavoidable logic
of the situation can be oVerrtdden or escaped The
colored people of the South have recently emerged
from the bondage of cir present political oppress
ors they have had but of the political advantag
es of education which might enable them to compete
with the whites.
AS | have heretofore maintained, in order to
achieve the ideal perfection of popular governments
absolutely necessary that the masses should be
educated This proposition applies itself with full
force the colored people of the South. They must
have better educational advantages, and thus be
bed to become the Intellectual peers of their white
brethren, many of them undoubtedly liber-
al system should be provided for the rising
generation of the South, and the colored people be
made capable exercising the duties of electors
as the white people, In the mean time it is the duty
of the National Government to beyond resolutions
and declarations the subject and to take such
action may lie in its power to the absolute
freedom of National elections everywhere to the end
that our Congress may to contain members rep
re sentng fictitious majorites of their people, thus
misdirecting the popular will concerning National
Iegislation and especially the end that in Presi-
Dental contests the great business and other inter-
ests of the country may not be placed in fear and

While lie gives a glowing account of
the beautiful scenery. the balmy at
mosphere, and the healthful climate of
that new center of attraction, he says
the other side of the picture is not so
charming. One great desideratum IN
Florida is soil. That is one thing she
lacks, and that being absent her -four,
hay, corn, beef, butter and bacon and
anu such other honely but very neces-
Sary articles come almost entirely from
the north, and it is very problematic If
that country will ever get beyond the

are by no means general, but timber
and fish are two things that can be had
in abundance. In many sections after
the timber Is gone sand heap is about
all that will remain.
