organs have again aaa again denied
the adoption OF any saeh doctrine, IN
hopes that the younger element OF our

not be forgotten, however. and 80 We
reproduce the very plank. Ii was the
seeond plank IN the platform adopted
BY the Democratic national eonven-
lion assembled IN Chicago on August
%, 1854. aud IS As follows:
-Resolved, That this convention does
explicitly declare, AS the sense of the
American people, that after four years
of failure 10 restore the Union by the
experiment OF war. during which under
the pgetense OF a military necessity OF

tlItles, with view 10 all ultimate con-
yention OF all the states, or other peace
able means To the end that Al the
earliest practicable moment peace may
be restored on the basis OF the federal
union OF the states
The other resolutions were bitterly
abusive and denunciatory OF Llncolns
administration aud the government.
No wonder that the Democracy OF the
present day tries to bury the platform
in oblivion.
But. bad as the platform itself is, its
origin is much more damnable. J. Il.
McCullagh, editor of the St. Louis
Globe Democrat, has recently been CIV
ing some "reminiscences of his exper.-
ences ss a reporter and correspondent.
He has published the fact that this
platform Was written IN Richmond, the
rebel capital. by Alexander III. Stephens.
the vice president of the confederacy.
He gives as proof of this startling asser-
ton the statement of Mr.. Stephens him.
self. The latter assured MIR. McCullsgh
shortly after the close of the war, that
he, stephens, had prepared the plat
form, submitted il TO the rebel govern
nent for approval. and that it had
been sent through the lines to Vallan-
dIgham, who was made chairman of the
Committee on Resolutions, and who re-
ported IL To the convention, which
adopted it. Is it any wonder that the
Democracy takes exceptions to the
epithet ''copperheadT Is it strange that
the "squawbucks' were stampeded by
Representative Halls airing of Govern
or Winans' war record? He was part
and parcel Of the same gang. But they
say that the "war is over" Yes, 90 is
the revolutionary war, and yet !the
treason of Benedict Arnold is Just as
odious as ever.

Senator Pettigrew makes a strong and
eloquent plea Tor the nomination of
Blaine IN 1892, on the ground that it
would be sheer folly to neglect to utiI-
IKE the strength which he possesses IN
the Northwest. One Of his strongest
points, however, Is contained in this
paragraph OF bis argument: "Since
Jsckson's time no president has been
reelected except Lincoln and Grant,
and no one will assert that the condi-
tons which carried the country with
them now exist. Two presidents have
been renomlnated and defeated since
Jackson's tme-Van Buren, and Glove
land" There IS no disparagement of
Harrison in this and the Republican
party should be wise enough 10 profit
by the lessons of history. True, some
may say that blaine - a defeated can
didate and therefore not a safe expert
msnt. But Blaine and reciprocity Is a
vastly different issue from that of ss4.
Blame Of today Is not Blame OF 1884.

A Gold Spoon for Babv Ruth.

The young daughter Of ex-President Grover
Cleveland is to be the object of special atten-
ton ct the dinner of tho Clover Club in Pbils-
delphia next Thursday night. It is expected
that the young lady viii, be represented by her
fathers old and time-tried friend, Daniel La
mont, who will accept congratulations Of the
club members for the entire Cleveland family.
Baby Ruth is to be presented with gold spoon,
which is to be something unusually elaborate.
or course the spoon will be the regulation
pap" spoon, which is supposed to be consid-
erably larger than the ordinary teaspoon, but
not quite so lsrg. as "a tablespoon.
The handle OF the spoon will be four-leaf
clover made Of solid beaten gold. Along the
stem will be elegant ilagree work. On the in
side Of the bowl Of the spoon will be the follow.
ing inscriptions: $40 Ruth Cleveland From
the Clover Club"
1t is supposed that Mr.. Lamont will start in
to mako speech acknowledging the beautiful
spoon on behalf of Baby Ruth. Bets are freely
offered that Mr.. Lamont will not get through
his speech without breaking down a lew times.
a. tho members are busily engaged in prepar-
ing few questions on the subject which Mr.
Cleveland is undoubtedly the only nan who
can answer correctly.
