Cut Il Short.

The Republican and Democratic plat
forms are about three times as long is
they were in 1856 and at least
nine times as long as they ought to be.
They contain feet, almost rods, of pad
ding, rhetoric, humbug. They lug IN
all sorts Of irrelevant matters. They
are swollen with verbose denunciation
and protest. Nobody but the industri-
Gus can read them. No intelligent per-
son can read them without getting a
pain in his stomach.
A platform should be short, simple,
plain. Let a man know what party
stands for and what he is asked to vote
for. clear, live platform with no
"cheap talk in it will progresses a
great many people in its favor. Cut 1T
