AN OLD NEWSPAPER.

Those Good Old Times Before the
Crime of 1873.
Mr.. A. A. Hodge has furnished us
wiGh a copy of the COLUMBIA
HERALD bearing date of February
"a, 1871. The paper is somewhat
yellow with age, but is printed with
large, clear type and is easily read

was then editor Of the HERALD, and
this copy is a good sample of his
ability in journalistic lines.
The first page is composed of clip
pings and miscellaneous reading
matter, and is entirely void of ad-
vertisements.
The second page-the page on
which the editor expressed his
opinions-is perhaps the most in
teresting page of all. At the head
of the first column, the following
conspicuous notice particular at

heart a-yearning for those good old

The editor seems much surprised
at the fact that "the Supreme Court
of Tennessee recently decided in an
exemption case that came up before
them, that jackass lin the eyes OF
the law is a horse" He says
"Chief Justice Nicholson wrote the
opinion, and it is perspicuous and
convincing, as his ideas always are"
Mr.. Horsley also states in his
editorial column that the Senate
Committee have agreed to a bill TO

of the United States in the full en-

PLATFORM TALK.
Some Differences of Opinion May BE
Developed.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 31.-There has
been considerable discussion today about the
platform which the convention will adopt
and there are indications that a. fight may
be the outcome. Mr.. Bynum today received
from Abram S. Hewitt, of New York, a
draft Oh: the platform which the New York
man thinks should be adopted Mr.. Bynum,
some time ago, wrote to a number of leading
gold Democrats throughout the country ask
ing them to submit their ideas as to what the
platform should be- Several have responded
with drafts of different planks, but Mr..
Hewitt has sent an entire platform. All the
communications which have been received on
that subject by Mr. Bynum will be turned
over to the committee resolutions when
it shall be appointed. Mr. Bynum says it
does not necessarily mean that because Mr..
Hewitt had drafted platform, that it would
be the one adopted by the convention. Some
Of the delegates now here think it is a mis-
take to have any idea get out that the plat
form was drawn by Mr.. Hewitt or any other
man.
A draft of the money plank prepared in the
treasury department has been seen by sew
eral leaders of the gold movement and there
is general impression that suggestions from
this quarter will be received by the COM
mittee on resolutions and the convention
with a great deal of favor. 1t Is possible
that several of the money planks which have
been prepared are drawn on the lines sug-
gested in the treasury department. and pos
sibly Mr.. Hewitt's draft may contain these
suggestions.
There Is also talk OF a plank in favor OF
currency reform, having for its main object
the retirement of the greenbacks and re-
vised system of issuing bank notes to take
