OUR PLATFORM.

The Dispatch comments upon an article
Of Thursday in which we declare as en-
phatically as we can Ghe same being
wholly unnecessary that we would never
under any circumstances consent to see
Virginia or any county Of Virginia pass
under negro domination. It's comments
are directed principally to our position
that the whole matter of elections is a
local one, and that the elections should
be left TO the ncighborhoods-the counties,
when, as all men know, the white men of
the county will prevent the negroes from
ruling it.
The Dispatch asks us If we mean by
this that the negroes should be bribed or
buldCzed?
We answer as we said in the article re-
farred to. we have no methods to sug
gest We know that the true principle on
which all free government rests Is to
leave each locality to regulate its own To-
cal affairs. of which its elections are one.
We know also that when this is per-
mitted 10 the neighborhood without in
reference from Federal supervisors, or
from any other influence. the moral and
the strong elements Of the neighborhood
assert their right TO rule and they force
the disreputable and turbulent elements
to succumb to their rule. They may have
difficulty in forcing recognition of their
rights. they may be defeated in several
elections. But when these elements know
that they are given unrestricted oppor-
tunity TO rule when they can force rec
ognition of their right to rule, they en-
ter into the struggle for supremacy with
determination TO win, and rcbuns ana
defeats have no effect upon them but to
stimulate them to renewed and more
vigorous efforts
The forward movement of moral forces
Is never arrested. They are always on
the advance. But vice. once engaged I'm
a death struggle with virtue, yields from
day to day. and must finally succumb.
We have one platform and but one.
Send out the message TO every neigh
borhood that fraud il not TO be thought
OF or tolerated. but that each neighbor-
hood shall control its own elections with
out interference by any one or from any
quarter. If fraud be thus stamped out.
there can be no question about the re-
suit

EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

New York sun Bafore the reassem-
bling Of Parliament IL was announced that
certainly the Parnellites and probably
the McCarthyitcs. would insist upon the
Immediate introduction of bills providing
for the relief Of cVicted tenants, anG for
amnesty TO prisoners convicted OF poll
Teal offences. II was also expected mat
one or the other Of the Irish National
groups would ask Mr.. Gladstone 10 desig-
nate the date when the Home-Rule bill
should lie reintrOduced.
New York Herald: The rumor that d
general election Will shortly take place in
England viii not down. IL crops up
with persistent frequency, and our cable
dispatches this morning again contain
the same report, An urgent Parliamen-
tary whip has been issued 10 summon
an Liberal members TO their places al
the opening OF the House OF Commons
on Monday The election agents of the
Conservatives. Unionists. and Liberals
have received instructions 10 begin work
az once. Ii looks. therefore, as II there
were some truth in the rumor after All.
New York Times: The later news from
Nicaragua indicates that the call from
our consular representative which caused
the ordering of the kearsarge to Blue
fields was not a false alarm. While In
one view it Is disquietlng TO learn that
American interests are still threatened
there, with 40 vessel available TO protect
them. yet In another IL is a source OF
consolation to know that the noble old
craft was not lost through being sent
on a fools errand. resulting from a
grcrndless panic of Mr.. Seay our con-
sular egent at Rluefields. 1T seems plain
now that the Department OF State was
right in asking 60 have a vessel sent
10 that point: and. OF course the Kear-
sarge, being then near by at Port au
Prince was the proper vessel for the
purpose. Thus she persisted while in
useful service.

THE TExARKANIAN favors Tree
trade and sailors rights, as soon as
it can be brought about, by amend
ing the Nationl Constitution. Until
this can be accomplished, the tariff
ought to be made as low as possible.
Tariff laws that do not apply equal
ly to every part of the Union and
to one industry as well as another,
are unjust and outrageous. When
ever tariff reform is made a local
question it is deprived of every
right to favorable consideration.
The ultimate object of tariff reform
is free trade, and the basis of free
trade is the law of the survival of
the fittest, Every tub must stand
on its own bottom, and if it can't,
then let it topple over,

STATE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
Adopted by the Democratic State Con-
vention at Little Rock, Ark,
June %, 1894.

The Democratic party of Arkan
sas in convention assembled hereby
re-afirms its faith in and allegiance
to the time honored principles Of
the national Democratic party as
expressed IN its platforms and rati
fed in its legislation throughout
the history of the government. In
addition thereto it makes the fol
lowing specific declarations;
We insist upon a strict compli'
ance with the repeated declara-
lions of the party in favor of tar
if for revenue only, to the end that
the protection favored by the Re
publican party and crystalized in
the infamous determinations of the
Mckinley bill, shall be anuulled and
a fair competition in the markets
of the world shall be opened to the
producers of all classes in the Uni
ted States, and fair exchange for
our surplus products thereby secur-
ed.
To the end that taxation may be
distributed ON an equitable basis
and accumulated property pay its
fair share of the expenses of the
government, which have for so long
a time been borne by the consump-
tion of the people. We favor an
income tax.
We still consider the act of 1873,
whereby silver was demonetized, as
the greatest legislative crime of the
century, and demand the free and
unlimited coinage of both silver
and gold at ratio of sixteen to
one as it then existed.
We believe the constitutional
power to borrow money should be
exercised by Congress only in the
event of great emergencies when
the power to levy and collect taxes
commensurate with the require
ments of the occasion cannot be en-
forced without manifest oppression
of the people. Therefore we are
opposed to the issue of bonds in
time of peace.
We congratulate the Democratic
party and the people upon the re-
peal of the odious Federal election
law.
We favor the continued maintain
ance of our free public schools in
the interest of general intelligence
and public information,
Believing that home rule and To-
cal self Government are cardinal
principles in a Republican govern
ment, we therefore endorse and ap-
prove the action of the legislature
of Arkansas in enacting laws rele.
eating to the people the right OF
settling the liquor question tor
themselves in accordance with the
wishes and sentiments of the conn
try affected.
We congratulate the people upon
the faithful and economical admin
istration of her state government
under Democratic rule, and invoke
the cooperation of all good citizens
in the perpetuation of so desirable
condition of affairs
