of the morning"

Fighting Ohioans,

The history of the Thirty-fourth Ohio
infantry includes accounts of several bat
ties which are not generally mentioned
in war chronicles. 1t fought a great deal
out of the beaten track of armies, doing
much fighting in West Virginia against
the guerrillss. In 1868 the regiment
served RS mounted infantry, fighting as
such at Wytheville, Va, July IS, whers

Text of the Platform.

sSAA OF tAAN ldtIOFms
Following is the unanimous report
of the platform committee:
The last national platform is the code
of National Democracy and should be
recognized as such until a new platform
is adopted. but recommend the following
as suggestions to the st. Louis conven-
ton as expressing the position of Wis
cCnsin Democrats upon those issues
which are now regarded as of paramount
Importance:
We favor the stringent enforcement OF

listic combinations of capital TO the end
that the so-called trust organizations
may be exterminated.
We favor a tariff for revenue only.
We favor the repeal of all tariff taxes
on all trust-niade articles.
We favor free and uninterrupted com
merce between all of the people of the
United States.
We favor deposits of surplus public
moneys i nsafe bank repositories upon
adequate security and at current rates
of interest
We favor the enactment of laws pro-
hibiting all railway corporations from
engaging in or carrying on any business
except that OF the common carrier.
We favor the speedy completion Of the
Panama canal and regret that our gov
eminent should have permitted this great
project 20 be stained with evidence of
dishonorabie intrigue against the integ-
rity OF a friendly republic.
We favor an income tax law and an
amendment to the constitution If neces-
sary to accomplish it.
