Sound, Consistent and outspokon.

lafayette courier
The platform is sound, consistent and out
spoken Cd all the leading issues of the day. On
the liquor question there is no evasion or strad-
ding The platform recognizes the right of the
people, in their several localities, to invoke such
measures of restriction upon the liquor traffic
as they may deem wise, and to compel it to con-
tribute to the relief of local tax -pavers by COM
pensating for the burdens it imposes on society.
1t is for the people of each locality to say what
restrictions they desire to place on the sale Of
intoxcants in their respective locality
OF the ticket nominated it is sufficient to say
that every man will honor the place to which he
has been chosen. 1t combines all the elements
of strength, and will evoke the full support Of
the party in every section of the State.
1t was grand convention and it did grand
work

platform, instead of the candidates. and the eli
max of enthusiasm was reached when the tenn
perance resolution was read. Cheer after cheer
rang through the great hall, which was followed
by general demand that the resolution be read
again. After the reading the demonstrations of
delight and appreciation were renewed. and the
scene became still more inspiring when Gov.
Cumback moved the adoption of the platform
as expressing 1.-The Gods truth the whole
business" This was done by rising vote amid
such scene of intense interest and excitement
as is seldom witnessed outside of q national con-
vention The platform, while long, is strong in
both matter and form. It's arraignment OF the
Democracy, both national and State, is as scath-
ing as it is eloquent and truthful.

Another Soldiers Opinion of Fitz John
Porter.

The conversion of General Grant to
POrter's side was the greatest victory
that Porter ever gained. But General
Grant did not go to the bottom of the
case by any means. He took POrter's
explanation of his disObedience and
examined the map to ascertain its re-
condolences. The fact that a road
which Porter was expected to travel
was blOckaded with wagons so that
the march could not have been made
in the time contemplated in Pope's or
der satisfied Grant that Porter was
right in disObeying it. But it did not
satisfy other soldiers who were just as
good judges as General Grant. The
fact was that Porter had received sew
eral orders to move and had disobeyed
every one of them. He heard the bat
tie raging and was within easy march
of it, knew that his troops were great
ly needed, knew that he could strike
the enemy on the flank and in such a
manner as not to endanger his own
force, for he could connect his right
with POpe's left, but he held alOOf,
knowing all the while that Pope was
being driven. He ought to have
been shot. But he was spared and
has made a long fight for vindicatiOn.
