The Democratic Platform.

The feature of the Democratic platform
which relates to the tariff proves either
the ignorance or the Indifference OF the
Maine leaders to the material interests OF
the State. 1t urges Congress to do SOME
thing to get away with what Democrats
in Convention are pleased to stgmatize
rs our war tariff 1t ignores the fact that
the Democrats have a bill in the present
House in which lumber, wool, fish. hay
etc. are put upon the free list ltignores
the fact that bill making absolute free
trade in ships and vessels OF every de
scription is now before the House a. a
Democratic measure. Why did the Dem
ocratic platform makers and the Demo
cratic Convention ignore these facts
They remembered TO dcnouncc the Rive
and HarbOr bill and they recalled the Tact
which is not fact that there is a surplus
revenue of 800, 900 900, but when II
comes to the measures which make war
upon the Industries Of Maine, these Dem
ncratic statesmen are silent No not 81
lent; because they demand that the war
tariff be reduced and as the only bills be-
fore the House are those which put lum'
her, wool. fish, hay and ships upon the
free list they may be allowed to be in fa-
yor of these measures. If the Democrat
lc leaders were not why did they not say
as much in so many words, as they did in
regard to the River and Harbor appr"pri-
alton bill? If they are hostile to free
wool, why did they not say so? If they
do not desire to transfer our fisheries to
Canada, why did they not denounce the
Morrison tariff bill? If they believe that
our ships should be built at home why
are they silent respecting the Dunn free
ship bill, which will close up every shif
yard in the country? These are practica
questions. and the answer Of the Demo
cratic leaders in Maine to them is
slaughter the interests assailed by th'
Morrison tariff bill. These gentlemen
are the issues of the campaign.

THREE EFFECTS. -The thousands of re-
markable cures which have been accom-

Second: 1t strengthens the system.
Third: 1t gives healthy action to the

menced under rather favorable auspices.
Our Good Templars were out strong and
every one excepting few dissatisfied
ones, manifested much enthusiasm.
While on Monday we had a fair audi
ence on Tuesday we had a much larger
attendance and on both occasions all ac-
quilted themselves well. We open each
night with singing and prayer, and most
of the pieces sung and spoken represent
ed sentiments in advocacy of the tenn
perance cause. Rev. ]. T. SCOTS selec-
tions both in reading and addresses,
were most fittingly appropriate, well and
effectively delivered. The tableaux and
statuary, the result of much work and
study evidently made good impressions
upon the mind and heart. The young
ladies and gentlemen, members Of our
order did well and nobly in the several
dialogues. Mr.. b. A. Groves, an excel
lent decaimer as many have said, excel
led himself ON Tuesday evening in decla-
nation. The large audience was greatly
moved by his earnest and eloquent adj
dresses. Much credit is due the commit
tee on entertainment for their work in
arranging and fitting up the hall, and
particularly the platform. Mr.. IL. NJ.
McCrea, our W. G. T., presides most
pleasantly and agreeablely, very prompt
and positive in conducting the entertain
ments. On Wednesday evening, the
bright and beautiful moonlight brought
out few more to the hall. Rev L.
J.. Hubbard gave an excellent address on
temperance, showing the evils and effects
of drink, and urged still more zeal and
devotion in our good work.
We are expecting the promised help
from Newark for Saturday night, and
hope the weather will be propitious,
although looking very cloudy this morn
ing. Yours most truly,

opened at l o'clock and closed at p. m.
The gentlemen named below acted as
judges. w. F. Griffith and j. T. Zercher

while the other three were on both
tickets. This makes the difference in
the figures. There is only a change of
two men in the Board. All these
gentlemen thoroughly understand the
business of repairing aud keeping our
town in complete order, and just here
VIC want a crossing on Delaware avenue.
