BILE of comprehending this situation

Democratic platform, "a real genu-
inc set forth of what the party be-
Ilieves, and are indirectly undertak-
ing to accomplishing of your
Oily Canon, slippery, good Lord,
good devil, octagon straddles, but a
platform that would bring whoop
and tiger from the average Bour-
bon. To fill the bill, it would read
about as follows
Resolved That we are in favor of
opening our markets to England and
The old World, guaranteeing to the
nations absolute free trade beyond
a tariff for revenue only.
Resolved-That this country is
the home of the free-consequently

classes of foreign countries are well
come to our shores.

been a distinctive doctrine Of the
Democratic party from the founda
tons of the government that human
slavery is divine institution, and

should own labor,-and whereas all
Iaborcrs are "mudsills;" and the
Democratic party is in favor of cheap
labor, we do declare that the labor
ing men Of this country are entitled
to no favors or conditions that are
not extended to the laboring classes
Of other countries. TO that end, we
are in favor of opening all American
markets to the competition of for
eign pauper labor, virtually free.

"a Democratic majority at all cleo
tons, and that Democratic cand-
dates are entitled to be declared

ducing that horrid surplus piled up
by the wicked Republican party and
the robber tariff.
Resolved-That, whereas, niggers
persist in voting the dirty Republican
ticket, therefore d-n a niger.
Resolved-That the Northern SOL
Giers are all lot of dishonest open

the government as a reward for their
cruelty in Strengthening our South
ern brethern," and that we long for
the happy days again when a Demo
cratic administration and the veto
shall put an end to all pensions ex-
sions except to those who SO gallant
ly marched under the Stars and Bars.
Resolved-That Quay is an old
thief, Blaine is double dyed villain,
Harrison is an idiot and Reed a ty-
