AprRoNpAcKs, Aug. 18.-The Presiden.
tial party srrivsd here at 4 o'clock yester-
day afternoon sitter a continuous and un-
eventful ride from Albany. The midnight
train, on which they left Albany last
night, WAS an hour late in reaching Platts-
burg. Upon reaching Rouse's Point in
the morning the party were in a mile and
a half Of the Canadian line. A special en-.
CINE and q single baggage car were coupled
to the Presidents car at that point. and
was quickly pulled out of sight, greatly to
the establishment of several enterprising
gentlemen who had been sitting all night
watching that car with the determination
of sticking closely to 1t until 1t reached
Its destination. At Moir, on the Ogdens-
burg and Lake Champlain railroad, ten
miles beyond Malone, o special was
switched off on the Northern Adirondacks,
and it was drawn into the. wilderness q
distance of 81 miles. The President and
his wife stepped upon the platform
OF the car to leave the train. The NOR
brass band began to play. and an hour
later when the regular train came along
the band was still playing. Seven miles
of stage ride brought the party to Paul
Smiths and Strege's Lake. Mr.. Smith
provided q lunch, and the party, without
leaving their carriage, ate their second
meal of the day waiting for ar exchange
OF horses. Seventeen more miles OF car
riage riding brought them to the S~arsnacta
Inn, formerly Prospect House, and they
were given quarters in a cottage adjoining
this hotel. They will take their meals
with the other guests in the public dining
rooms tonight. At Mrs. Oleveland's re-
quest, the whole party were. rowed over
the lake BY two trusty guides.
Ohio Democrats I'm Convention.
TOLEDO, o., Aug. 18.-The platform
adopted by the Democratic State Conven-
ton to-day congratulates the country that
the party of the people has been restored
to power, and that the promises Of its
leaders and the hopes Of its followers are
being realized. 1t expresses sincere sor-
row at the loss OF the country by the death
of Durbin Ward and Samuel J. Tilden,
the latter, who was for many years the
leader of the Democracy of America. and
who was honestly and fairly elected as the
nineteenth President of the United States.
The resolutions all deeply lament the
death Of Hendricks, Mcclellan, Horatio
Seymour and General Hancock. The
platform resffirms the principles known
by the National Convention on the tariff
question, and demands o thorough and
Just revising of the existing tariff laws,
and the policy of paying out surplus rev.
enues Is heartily approved. The platform
demands that both gold and silver, as
established by the Constitution, shall be
| maintained as the basis Of our money sys-
TEN, and denounces the attempt to change
the measure Of values from gold and silver
to gold alone, as an act OF monstrous In
Justice. The action of the Democratic
House in restoring to the public domain
nearly 100, 000, 900 acres OF unearned land
granted by Republican Congresses to rail
ways, and the Alien Land Ownership bill
Ia approved. The resolutions express sym
pathy with Ireland in her great struggle
for Home 1ole. The actions OF the Re-
publican members Of the Ohio State Sen
ate ia denounced as an usurpation, n a
belief in the integrity of the Democratic
members of the State Senate is declared.
The course Of Henry B. Paine as United
States Senator is Endorsed, and the action
of the Republican Senate of the United
States, with respect to the charges as made
against the Senator. were heartily ap-
proved. The resolutions also declare in
favor of q we'll regulated license system for
saloons.
