State Demo cratic Platform.

The Democracy of Tennessee, by its
representatives in Convention assem-

large on the restoration of the Demo
cratic party to power in the admins
tration OF the general Government,
1t endorses the administration OF Pres
ident Cleveland, and upholds him in
his efforts to purify the Government
from corruption, to restore economy,
to revive respect for the Constitution,
to reduce taxation, to reform the ex-
listing tariff, to Nllay sectional animos-
tiles, to guard the Treasury against
unwarranted appropriations of the
public money, and to restore the Gov
ernment to the simple and honest
methods OF administration known and
practiced by its founders.
1t endorses the administration OF
Gov. Bate as honest, intelligent and
patriotic, and it particularly approves
the settlement OF the State debt, which
has been so happily effected during
his administration, on terms alike sat

A gentleman who has been at
Watch Hill for fortnight, and who
returned to Syracuse last night, said
that he saw Secretary Manning every
day. The invalid sits in the same
chair for hours on the piazza looking
at the ocean. When he moves about
it is with the greatest difficulty, the
lower limbs seeming incapable of be-
ing subjected to the ordinary strain OF
locomotion. He does not grow any
better, said this gentleman, "and as
he is to-day he is very weak and fee
BILE man."
A private letter from the Watch
Hill House says "There are several
celebrities here, among them Secreta-
ry Manning, wife and Miss Manning.
The latter is great favorite. Mr.
and Mrs. Manning have just returned

trip has not retarded Mr.. Manning's
recovery as he has improved wonder

The career OF Robt /. Taylor is the

Tennessee has ever produced. He is
only SO years old, and yet he has serv-

most gifted man of the republican
party in the State, the Hon. A. H.
Pettibone, in district where the Re-
publican party has from 5000 to A.
600 majority. This was when he was
only 27 years old. When he was 80
years old, he came within three votes
on several ballots Of being elected to

Frank Leslie's Sunday Magazine
For September opens with the second
installment of Mr.. Powell's interesting
"Leaves from My Life" with portraits
of Robert Southey, William Words
worth, S, T. Coleridge, Leigh Hunt
and Miss Landon. A very interesting
article is, "Why do Church-bells An
noy?" by DR.. S. Austen Pearce, Mus,
Doc. 0xon, which is illustrated with
no less than fourteen cuts. This is
appropriately followed by Bulwer's
translation Of Schiller's "The Lay of
the Bell" with three illustrations.
"Dilettante Days" come to an end in
this number, which those who have
followed the author in this delightful
story OF travel will regret. How much
of the story is truth, and how much is
fiction, the author has not revealed.
The other serials, "The Gems She
Wore" "Paulina" and "The Tapestry
Room," run on Interestingly, There
are two views, exterior and interior, OF
the new St.Thomas's Church at Mann
aroneck, N. Y, and a view OF a Rus
sian Church erected in memory of
Viadimia, Russian prince and saint.
The portraits OF this number include
Nicholas Gogol, Russian author
Bishop Turtle; Mrs. Leokadie Regu-
tenko Bulgarian female surgeon /;
and the Rev, DR.. Sunderland, who
married the President. There are
numerous short articles, poems and
midsummer illustrations, making up
bright and interesting number Of
this favorite family magazine.
