THB PLATFORM.
An Able Exposition of the Principles OF
the Democratic Party in Ohio,


DAYTON, May 17.-Following is the
platform adopted by the Democratic
Convention here yesterday:
The Democratic party Of the State of
Ohio in convention assembled presented
to the people of the State the following
declaration of principles:
l. We 1ndOrse without qualification
the administration of President Cleve
land; his honesty, integrity, fidelity to
principle and manly courage have ell
deared him to the American people,
and the interests Of the country demand
his denomination and election.
2. We approve the Mills tariff bill as
the practical expression of the Demo
cratic party and request our represen-
tatives in Congress to give it their cor
dial support.
3. We demand that all the lands of
the government be held for actual set
tiers who are citizens of the United
States and for those who declare their
intention and we indorse the successful
efforts of the administration to recover
the public lands which have been
squandered upon railroad corporations
by reckless Republican congresses.
4. We favor the payment of liberal
pensions to union soldiers and sailors
and tender care for the widows and
orphans.
3. We demand an economical expen-
diure of the public money and the re-
duction of the surplus in the treasury
by reduced taxation and not by eXtrav-
agant and corrupting appropriations.
The money of the people should not be
aiken from them beyond the needs Of
economical administration and the pay
ment of just obligations.
q. We are in hearty sympathy with
all people struggling to free themselves
from the environment of despotism,
and especially does the long and gallant
struggle of Ireland for the priceless
boon of home rule and the right of man
hood awaken our applause and con-
mand our heartiest good wishes for
speedy success.
Z. We favor such restraints upon
corporate power as will protect honest
ahOr and conserve the interests of hon
estly employed capital. We oppose the
lml ortatlOn of contract labor and the
land of aliens for permanent residence
who do not intend to become citizens
of the United States.
8. We recommend to congress the
repeal of all duties whatever upon in
uustres combined into trusts to erect
uunopOlies or organized into syndicates
to contro or corrupt legislation or cleo
tiOns or retard production and deprive
labor of steady employment and
adequate compensation.
8. We approve the action of the
Democratic members of the legislature
in their support of the bill founding
.n, ONO sVIuIers' and sailors home at
oandusky, and we denounce the Repub-
ican majority for their insufficient
appropriations for the same and for the
orphans home at Xenia. We demand
liberal expenditures for these institu-
tlons adequate to the wants OF the State.

MICHAEL VS.. PATRICK.
The Defendant Assaults the Plaintiff
Witness for Testify ing Against Him.

The Defendant Assaults the Plaintiffs IS
Witness for Testify ing Against Him.
There is a law suit being tried in the
Common Pleas Court, an account of
which will be found in another column.
The plaintiff in the case is Michael
Burke and the defendant is Patrick
Burke, his brother. The case was
called up this morning in Court Room
No. l, and the attorneys for plaintiff
began to examine their witnesses. One
of the witnesses for the plaintiff was
John Hadley of Navarro, who is a
nephew to both plaintiff and defendant.
He was put upon the stand and told
what he knew about the matter. AT
noon today while Hadley was standing
in front of the Court House, Pat. Burke,
the defendant in the case, walked up
to him and without any warning what
ever, grabbed him by the throat and
was in the act of giving him troun-
cling but was interfered with by some
of the bystanders. No cause is assign
ed for Pats rash act unless it be that
Hadley was witness for his brother
Michael. After Pat failed to get his
work in with his fists he concluded to
do it with his mouth. He then began
to assail Hadley by calling him all solts
of disgraceful names, until he was taken
away by his wife. Hadley, who is too
much of gentleman to raise disturb
ance on the Public Square submitted
to his virulent abuse for the time being
but threatens to make his uncle pay
dearly for his malicious conduct as
soon as he has an opportunity to meet
him out side of the city limits.

Trouble at Plattsmouth.

OMAHA, Neb., May 1S.-[Special.E +
Considerable excitement still prevails
at Plattsmouth over the wounding,
Wednesday night, of Peters, Rogers
and John Hill, Brotherhood fremen
and special officer Kane, by a Pinker-
ton man named Goodwin, employed by
the Burlington Il Missouri River Com
pany. Goodwin narrowly escaped be-
ing mobbed and the infuriated Brother
hood men and their friends proposed at
one time to drive the entire Pinkerton
force into the river. The Mayor and
some cool-headed citizens, however,
prevailed upon them to disperse. The
trouble originated in fight between
two men on the street, when a Pinker-
ton special was called to assist in ar
resting them Several men, it is said,
then assaulted HIM and he turned and
shot, ran and shot again, wounding the
three men mentioned above, but not Sc
riously. An extra force of twenty-five
Pinkerton men has been sent to Platts-
mouth. Goodwin, who did the shooting,
escaped into the Reddle House and got
away. 1t is thought he went south on
a passenger train.

HIGH TONED THIEVES.
Two Harvard Students Caught in the Act
of Robbing Their Fellows.

Two Harvard Students Caught in the Act
of Robbing Their Fellows.
Boston, May 18. Especial. + Two
young freshmen of Harvard, John f.
q. COyle and Charles f. Beltknap, aged
nineteen and twenty respectively, one
the son of a prominent city official and
the other OF a well-knoWn merchant
worth over million, were captured
Thursday at the college while robbing
the students lockers. For the past
three months most extensive system
of thieving and robbery has been
going on, defying detection. No less
Than eighteen watches and eight hun
dred dollars in money have been stolen,
besides numerous other valuables, ag-
gregating large sum. One of the
freShman's room was robbed two
nights in succession, Monday and Tues
day Wednesday he laid trap. He
secreted the janitOr III one closet and
left an adjoining one full of clothing
open, leaving the room apparently de.
serted. The guilty pair showed
up in short order, and were
pOunced upon by crowd of students
and the janltOr at the same time. They
were very roughly handled, but were
rescued by the police who marched them
across the college grounds, followed by
over five hundred shouting students
Their parents are distracted and are
tying to suppress the matter. There
is no excuse for the crime. The boys
had plenty of pocket money but lost
much in gambling, learned since enter
ing the college, and stole to get means
to play poker.

willfnl Absence the Cause.

Ludwig Schworm has filed an appli.
cation for a divorce in the Common
Pleas Court. The petition alleges that
he was married to the defendant, Jane
Schworm, in the city of Massillon, on
January II, 1883, and has always con-
Quoted himself as faithful husband
toward the defendant. The plaintiff
further says that the defendant has dis
regarded her marital duties as wife
towards the plaintiff and has been will
fully absent from the plaintiff ever
since May II, 1885, without any cause
or justification. The plaintiffprays to
be divorced from the defendant and
have such other relief as is necessary.

A Bad Man.

A Canton rum seller spent several
days in town last week, plying his un-
lawful traffic. AS a result of his tarry-
ing here, more drunkenness was seen
in Carrollton than for many day. He
sold it by the jug and shipped it in by
the underground route" Our citizens
are indignant and this young man may
have an opportunity to make the ac-
quaintance of our Sheriff. If irrespon-
sible strangers can slip in here and by
"ways that are dark and tricks that are
vain," supply the ardent to boys and
Others, the Dow law needs amending.
But the opinion of a number of our
lawyers is, that sale by anybody, is in
violation to the statute. This fellow
falls fully within the perview of the
law. He sold his liquor here and de-
livers it here, which IS selling within
the corporation, as much as fhe opened
a saloon in the town. Least wise, the
matter will be settled the next term of
court, and if such practices are toler-
ated by the law, an effort should be
made to have it amended to catch such
fellows Carroll Republican.

grand affair. The rink was filed to its
capacity, and the COrnet band discours-
ed excellent music. The program was
successfully carried out, the pupils ac-
quitting themselves creditably. Mr..

from the Y. NJ. D, G. of Canton. Miss
Browns essay was well received. Mr.
Charles Kreighbaum, of Canton, de-
livered fine address to the class, occu-
pying over an hour and holding the
attention of the large audience. Pre-.
