THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
The platform adopted by ihe-
Democracy at Nashville IS publish
Ell elsewhere in this paper. 1t en-
dorses the administration OF Presi-
dent Cleveland aud upholds him ii.
his efforts to restore ECONOMY, to
revive respect for the constitution,
to reduce taxation, and to reform
the existing tariff.
1t endorses the administration
Governor Bate, and approves and
endorses the settlement of the state
debt now happily effected under the
platform 1882.
In its position on the tariff It en-
dorses the Chicago platform Of 1884,
with the additional clause following
approving the action OF our Repre-
sentahves in Congress in their efforts
at tariff reform, thus putting the
Democracy Of Tennessee on plat
form for a strictly revenue tariff, as
all Of our representatives voted and
acted for revenue tariff, in line
with Carlisle, Morrison and Hewitt
and against the minority of Demo-
Gratis led by Mr.. Randall.
In the 4th clause Of the platform
it declares clearly and plainly
against the Blair Bill and all
similar measures which provide for
any other expenditure Of surplus
revenues to any other source than
payment on our debt.
It declares for the maintenance
and improvement of public school;
and the education of all classes OF
our citizens, while it is unwilling fol
this to be done through the waste Of
money wrung fro ii as by tariff
taxation rs proposed in the Blail
/ Bill. Tins should be done by tn,
states through equal taxation anC
not by Federal measures like the
Blair Bill which tend, and are in
tended, to keep up the idea Of a pro
tective tariff, and at the same tim,
releYe those most able to pay, ant
place the burden upon the consumers
by keeping up the tariff which is
tax on consumers, and making then
pay on what they consume, instea,
Of upon what they own.
The platform instructs democra
tic representatives to vote for sub

Inc career u ISOD0Ib Ii Taylor Is
the most remarkable of any man of
his age Tennessee has ever produced.
He Is only 36 years old, and yet he
has served in congress one term,
beating the most gifted man Of the RI
publican party in the state, the Hon
A. H Pettibone, in a district where
the Republican party had from 5000
to 1000 majority. This was when
he was only 26 years old. When
he only 80 years old he came
within three votes on several ballots
of being elected to the senate of the
United States. When he was only 80
years old he was brought forward as
the candidate Tor governor by East
Tennessee. and it was all the friends
of Gen. Bate could do to defeat him.
He came within few votes of be-
ing nominated in one of the largest
conventions the state ever held.
When he was 81 years old he was
nominated by the state Democratic
convention as the Cleveland oIector
for the state at large, In this con-
vention he was nominated by ac-
clamalion. and made brilliant cam
vass with Sam Hawkins as his
competitor. Hawkins is a man Of
great ability as a speaker, but young
Taylor held his own and had the
largest vote on the ticket.
His nomination yesterday proved
conclusively, that he has a hold OF
the people which no other youns
man has ever had III the state. Thi
young man is not a great orator like
Mr.. Clay, but a most pleasing anC
entertaining speaker; IN fact, among

Evidently a Fraud .

CHEYENNE, Wyo., December 31.-On
December 26th, the Stock Growers Ma
tional Bank of this city received tele-
gram from the First National Bank of
Houston, Texas, asking confirmation
of their letter dated December Is, and
requesting the number and amount of
the draft covered by the said letter. No
such letter having been written the
Stock Growers at once replied to that
effect December Both a similar tele-
gram was received from the Ma
tional Bank of Texas at Calves
ton, asking if the draft drawn on
the Fourth National Bank of New
York for 5000 in favor of George L.
Sanders, was good. No such draft hav-
ing been drawn, a telegram was sent to
that effect and the mail that evening
brought letter to the Stock Growers
National Bank from a bank in Mont
gomery, Ala, acknowledging the receipt
of letter of the Stock Growers Ma
tional Bank, dated December Is, identi
flying Geo. L. Sanders, and requesting
them to cash the draft of the Stock
Growers National Bank, New York;
and enclosing the signature of Sanders,
No such letter having been
issued, the Montgomery Bank was
wired accordingly, and kilograms sent
to all correspondents of the Stock
Growers National Bank, east and
south. warning them of these attempts
to negotiate the forged drafts. To-day.
a telegram was received from the
Fourth National Bank, New York,
saying a forged draft, purporting to
have been drawn by the Stock Growers
National Bank, had been presented and
payme',s refused From the length of
time eIapsing between the date OF the
letterfromM Montgomery ,andthe telegram
from the bank pronouncing the letter
forgery, it is feared that the Mont
gomery Bank paid the forged draft.

Arizona and the Indians

WASHINGTON, December 31.-Gover
nor Zulick of Arizona has teiegraphed
to the Secretary of the Interior calling
his attention to the erroneous impress
sion that The purpose for which troops
had been recently ordered from San
Francisco, is merely to protect the In
dians from threatened attacks by the
lawless white element. Governor Zulick
says his appeal to the government for
t; ops was for Il protection of the lives
and property of ArizoniaHs from at
tacks of murderOuS and thieving rene
gade Apaches. No people on
earth" he adds, have exhibited a
higher sense of law-abiding qualities
than the Arizonians have shown in
their terrible atfltction of the past eight
months" He remarked that his pro-
clamatlon last week, warning all evil
disposed persons that the powers oil the
Federal and Territorial governments
would be evoked to preserve the rights
of all persons within the borders of Ari-
IONA, was directed against infiamma-
tory publications in the Territorial
newspapers and says, 1T has had its
effect, for the entire press in the Terri
tory is now arrayed upon the side of
law and order. He assures the Secre-
tary he will see that the San Carlos res
eryation, and the rights of peaceful In
dians are protected, and in conclusion,
he asks the Secretary for an
authoritative, statement to dispel, the
erroneous impression as to the purpose
of his appeal for troops. In reply Act.
ing Secretary Muldrow, to-day, tele-
graphed to the Governor that the In
terror Department has received no dis
patch from him suggesting need for
troops to protect the Indians on the
San Carlos Reservation, and no action
has been taken by the government to
concentrate troops in that vicinity for
the purpose indicated. Muldrow adds,
1.-The purpose of the government has
been and is to protect all persons in
Arizona in the full enjoyment OF their
rights and property: to punish all law
breakers suppress outlaws and to main
tain peace within that Territory"

The Cattle Question.

CHICAGO, December 31.-In its annual
review of the range cattle trade, the
Drorers' Journal says: The range cattle
season of 1885 contained series of sur
prises for almost everybody, and the
greatest surprise of all was the fact
that there was a decrease of $4,000
head as compared with 1884, and a de-
crease of 5000 as compared with 1882.
The DrOUerS' journal statistics show
that the number of Texas and Indian
cattle received was only 296,000 head
against $4,000 in 1884, showing a de-
crease Of over $4,000 head from that
quarter, an increase of AZ, 600 over 1888,
and decrease OF nearly $4,000 as COM
pared With the receipts of the Texas
and Indian cattle in 1882 But the re-
celptS OF the southwestern cattle we're
twice as large as in 1881, and more
than three times as large as in 1880.
Considering all of the disturbing ele-
ments in the trade, it would have been
less wonderful had the receipts of the
Texas and Indian cattle amounted to a
total of more than 500 900 head, instead
OF being 10000 less than the receipts of
1884. From the northwest receipts of
range cattle werc ne lrlY 10000 les than
in 1884; $4,000 more than in 1858, and
$4,000 less than in 1882. As compared
with 1880, the receipts from the north
west were heavier by $4,000 head. The
Journals figures show that while
there were about 10000 to %, 600 Indian
cattle marketed in August, there were
not, all told, 10000 cattle sent from the
Indian Territory TO the market that
would not have come anyway. No
cows and calves or young stock cattle
were sacrificed, nor were any of them
sold to the ranchmen below the market
|prices. There was an unusually large
number of COWS from all parts of the
range country. In many cases
these were sent in by the
managers of companies whose stock.
holders were clamorous for dividends.
The price for range cattle during the
year averaged very low, and doubtless
that fact had something to do with the
large decrease in the years receipts of
range cattle. The following table ex-
hibits the range of prices for six
years:

Trouble Brewing.

DETROIT, December 31.-The police
are in readiness for the trouble in the
Polish quarter at any hour, while to-
morrow is generally believed to be the
time when watchfulness will be the
most needed. Officers are on duty to-
night and have on hand a supply of
stretchers and other things needed. In
the event OF a serious disturbance tine
militia will be called out, if necessary
and the companies in this city are un-
der orders to report at once on ringing
of the fire bells. Tomorrow being a
holiday, makes the danger greater. 1t is
thought that the knowledge that the
militia is under orders for action may
prevent any outbreak. The bishop is
out of the city, but Father kotaskinsy
is here.

RIO GBANDE CITY, Texas, December
31.-Major Kellogg to-day returned to
Ringgold barracks from his reconnoitre
up the river in the vicinity of the re
ported encampment Of Mexlcans. Ar
irving at the ranch De La Hatcha,
Sheriff Shelly, under the protection of
troops, arrested four Mexicans, among
whom was Roderingo Maldondo, the
reported leader of the insurrectionists.
Maldondo denied that he contemplated
attacking Mier, and said the only
object of the Mexicans in coming over
to the American side of the river was
to avoid arrest for I rticipating in
an election riot at Mier. The Mexicans
we're greatly alarmed that Major Kel-
Iogg should deliver them up to the Mex
lean authorities. On hearing their story
and discovering no large body of Mex
leans, Major Kellogg released the pris-
oners, greatly to their satisfaction.

to insure the success of, their new piece.
Their past efforts, and particularly
such NewYear productions asSaratoea
and the Bankers Daughter, are well
remembered. and form the best adver-
tisements the Club could have. The
time appears to be a ripe one for a
revival of the drama, the public almost
having had a surfei: of musical and
vaudeville entertainments.
IoLANTHE.-The last night of Iolan.
the was witnessed by an audience
almost as large as that of the first per-
Torrance. The piece being on its third
presentation went with more smooth
ness than ever, and the notable num-
bers, as before, were received with
hearty applause. Miss Hawley's
charming delineation OF Iolanthe was
sull the fayorite character, though Mrs.
Siegel showed to better advantage by
Mr.. Dunbar's being improved. His
voice still, however, gave no evidence of
lis real capabilities. Chorus and or
chestra did better work than ever, and
the satisfaction was general, as before.
Iolanthe has been a charming enter.
,tainment. There is talk of repeating it
