One effect that the rottenness in
public Office under Republican

that it will revive the necessity for
a Democratic platform next year
modelled after that of 1876. on
which Samuel j. Tilden was nomi-
mated and elected. That platform
called for reform I'm almost every
paragraph. There is as much
necessity for reform now as there
was then, and it seems to be the
consensus of Democratic opinion
here that the cry of reform will be
one of the issues in the next cam
paign. If the honest men of the
nation, regardless of politics. could
be made TO understand the condi-
tons here in many of the depart

publican party out of office on the
cry of reform alone and with no
other issue in the campaign.
