Castorial

Dr. Samuel Pitcher, of llynhnis, Mass., experimented in hig private practice for thirty years to produce a combination that would have the properties of Castor @il without its unpleasant taste and griping effect. i i His preparation was sent for, near amd far, till finally he gave it the name of Castoria, gnd put it up for sale. Itis very wonderful in its effects, particularly with tke disordered stomachs and bowels of children. It assimilates the food, cures sour stomach and wind colic, regulates the bowelg, expels worms, and may be rclied uponingromp. _ i e % As a pleasant, effective and perfectly safe cathartie remedy it is superior to Castor Oil, Cordials and Syraps. - It does not contain alcohol, and is'adapted to any age. ; By regulating the stomach and bowels of eross and sickly ehildren they become good-na-tured and healthy.. They can enjoy sleep and mothers have xest. The Castoriais put up at the Laboratory of J. B. Rose & Co., 46 Dey street, New York. : ch qr-Iy-9-tc

" LIGONIER. NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1876. '

FOR UNCLE SAM,

The St. Lotis Convention.

THE PLATFORM A SCATHING ARRAIGNMENT OF REPUBLICANISM’S MANIFOLD ~ CRIMES. 3

DECLARING IN FAYOR OF SPECIE, BUT DEMANDING THE REPEAL OF: THE " PRESENT LAW.

The Issue Made Squarely Between Peace and Hate aud Union - . and Disunion. .. TILDEN AND HENDRICKS. Bot%;."‘N;oxhinate(l Amidst the Wild= % est Enthusiasm, A Partial Account of the Proccedings. The preliminary 01‘g&1iizatioh of the convention having been accomplished, an account of which was published in last week's BANNER, the convention proceeded with the transaction of business by the appointment of a committee “on Resolutions, and a committee on credentials. - el The rules for the governing of tlre last National Cénvention were @dopted without opposition. Daniel W. Voorhees represepted Indiand in the committee.on resolutions. The Committee.on Credentials re--5 i ported -that’ there were no, contested seats, ztlld-tlxat all the States were fully represented. el ! . Hon. August Belmont, of#N. Y., ofered the following I'eso}lltibxl, which wag referred to the proper committee: “We. appeal to the honor and manhood of the American people to begin this second century of American union and independence by trampling under foot and extinguishing forever the smoldering ashes of distrust, rancor and animosity ‘between the two great sections of our‘common country. We.denounce with indignation the caleulated malignity with which the leaders of the republican party have labored to keep alive through eleven years of peace the worst passions of civil war. The Maehiavelian motto of the republican party has been and and is, “Divide the people-and we shall rule them.”. For the democratic party we reply, “ Unite the people and make them free.” . We denouncé the republican party on this great issue as a party of false pretenses. . It is a false pretense to assume the character of a national party and at the same time to exist only by sectional divisions.— It is 'a false pretense to assume the name of a union party and at.the same time to be an obstacle to national unity. Itis a false pretense to dssume the name of liberal party and at the same time to appeal to the religious prejudices of the.people. It Is w false ‘pretense to claim the title’ of a pro--gressive party and at the same time to turn the people from peace and the tuture to war and the past.” : The convention then adjourned to 11 o’clock, A. 3. on Wednesday. . ¢

- After the adjournment earnest and enthusiastic speeches were made in the hall by the “Tall Sycamore of the Wabash,” and Ilon. 8. S. Cox.. The addresses of these gentlemen'were the important features.of a demonstration by the anti-Tilden factions to impress the convention® .It was shrewdly planned, and, so far as the speech of Mr. Voorhees was concerned, was successful. The reception of the Indiana orator was enthusia‘sticl' and highly. flattering. The applause of the look-ers-on, as well ‘as friendly delegates; was so hearty as to carry away the Tilden men for a time. The effect of this vehement oratory on the part of the Wabash statesman was so marked that the anti-Tilden men werein doubt as to whethrer they should venture any further.’ There were loud calls for Ewing and then for Cox. The latter was escorted to the stage and in a few moments he succeeded in largely undoing what Voorhees ,had/-b\jilfi ap—-though-he and Voorhees spoke for one -and the same purpose. e

' WEDNESDAY’S PROCEEDINGS. Pursuant to. zidjournmént the convention r‘e—assefnbled at 11 o’clock. i The- President ‘asked that order might be maintained, and.said that he would employ-all the means and:energies at his command tgﬁ) secure it. A delegate from Geqrgia oifered a resolution endorsing the action of Congress it its work .of reform which is being ‘inaugurated by the ITouse of Representatives, and, on motion was referred to the committee on resolutions, as was dlso a mémorialifrom the Workingmen’s Central Union of New Yaork o e

i Mr. Kelley, of New York, asked'for permigsion to present a list of names of persons of that State who were opposed to the nomination of Gov. Tilden, but he was ruled out of order. After considerable wrangling about ‘proc'ee(ling to ballot for candidates, and awaiting the report of the committee on resolutions, the éonvention adjourned to 2lo’clock ». M. ' AFTERNOON SESSION. _ The convention promptly assembled at the appointed time, when Mr. Dorsheinier, of New York, read the followe : fou oy " . Declaration of Principles. ' REFORM WANTED, a}"ge, tpg&a%g&gg of the democratic igonvymgtibn “assembled n? W%@?g ogglb clare the administration of the feder. ‘al government to be in urgen mégg? immediate: reform, de. m% mvin upon the nominees. of .each State a ond, agg o' ol

connection to uirdertake with us this first and most pressing patriotic duty. | ‘WHAT THEY BELIEVE. ' .. For the Democ¢racy of the whole country we do ‘here re-affirm our faith in the permanence of the federal union, and devotion to the constitu‘tion of the United States, with its amen?u;ents, ‘universally accepted as a final settlement of the controversies that engendered .civil war, and do here record our .icfe&d_fast confidence in the perpetuity of republican selfgovernment; in #ibsolute acquiescence in the will of th& majority, the vital principle ‘of the republic; in the supremacy of the ci¥il over the military authority; the total separation of church and State for the sake alike of civil and religious freedom; in/ the equality of all citizens before. just laws of their own enactment; in the liberty of individual conduct, unvexed by sumptuary laws; in the faithful education of the rising generation, that they may preserve, enjoy, and transmit these best conditions of human happiness and behold the noblest produets of a hundred years of changeful history. But while upholding the bond of our union and the great eharter of these, our Ihts; it behooves a free people to pracyice also tnat eternal vigilance which is the price of liberty. - e ) '\ THE CAUSE OF HARD TIMES. | - Reform is necessary to rebuild and establish in the hearts of the whole people the union 11 years ags happily rescued from the danget of a secession of States, but now to be saved from a ﬁorrupt centralism. which, after: ificting upon ten ‘States the*rapacity. of . carpet-bag tyrannies, has honeycombed the ofiices of the federal government itself with incapacity, waste and fraud; infected States and municipalities with the contagion of misf{‘ rule, and locked fast the prosperity of an industrious people in the paralysis of hard times, : b | . Reform is/necessary to establish a sound curreney, .restore the public credit, and maintain the national honor. - &

: LA FATLURE. & & 00 We denourice the failure of the republican party for all these 11 years to makc good the promise of the legaltender notes whieh are a:changing standard of value in the hands of the people, and the non-payment of which is a disregard of the pledged faith of the nation. e : : ) ~ IMPROVIDENCE. | ‘We denounce the improvidence which in 11-years of peace has taken from the people -in_ federal taxes 13 times the whole amount of the legaltender. notes, and squandered four times this sum in useless expense, without accumulating any reserve for their redemption. I D FINANCIAL IMBECILITY. :

We denounce the financial imbecility gnd immorality of that party,during 11iyears of peace, has made no:advance toward resumption; no preparation for resumption, but instead has obstructed resumption by wasting our resources and exhausting all our surplus income, and while annually professing to intend a speedy return to specie payments has annually enacted fresh hindrances thereto. ‘ (00l THR 121351@':.(1)1‘101\7- AOT

As such a hindrance, we denounce the resumption clause of the act of 1875, and we hereby demand its repeal. - iy

LEGONOMY. | Sl We demand ‘a judicious system of: preparation by public economies, by official retrenchments, and . by the finance which shall enable the nation soon to assure the whole world of its perféct ability and its perfect readiness to meet any sof jits promises at thoe call of the creditor entitled to pavment. - We béllora’ cnok o syStem, well devised, and, above all, intrusted to competent hands for! execution, creating at no time an artificial scar-, city of currency, and at no time alarming the publiec mind into a with= drawal of that vaster machinery of ¢redit by which 95 per cent. of all business transactions are performed. A system open, public,. and inspiring general confidence, would .from the day of its adoption, bring healing 6n its wings to all our harassed industries, set .in motion the wheels of -commerce, manufactures, and the ‘mechanic arts, restore employment to labor, and irenew in all its natural - sources the prosperity of the people.

-+ FEDERAL TAXATION. = 7 Reformis necessary in the sum and mode of federal: taxation, and to the end that capital may be set free from distrust and labor lightly burdened, we denounce the present tariff levied upon nearly 4,000 articles as a masterpieceof injustice, inequality, and false. practice. It yields a dwindling, not a yearly rising revenue. It has impoverished many industries td -subsidize a few. 1t prohibits imports that might purchase the produets of American labor. - It has degraded Ameri‘can colr merce from the first to an inferior rank upon the high seas. 'lt has cut down the sales of American manufactures at home and abroad and depleted the returns of American agriculture, an industry followed by half our; people. It costs people five times more than it produces to ;the treasury, obstructs the process/of production, and wastes the fruits of labor. 1t promotes fraud, fosters smugghing, enriches dishonest offictals, and bankrupts honest merchants. = 'We demand that all custom-house taxation shall be only for revenue. i

'

* Reform is necessary in the civil | service. Experience proves that an | efficient, economical conduct of the; government business is not possible if its civil serviee be subject to change | at every election, be a prize fought | for lat the ballot-box, be. a brief re'ward of party zeal, instead of posts of. honor assigned for proved ¢ompetence, | and held for fidelity in the public employ; that the dispensing of patronage should meither be a tax upon the time of all our public men nor the instrumeént of ‘their ambition. Here againprofessions falsified in the performance show that the party in power can work out -no practical and sal+ utary reform. ; o

GENERAL DEVILTRY DENOUNCED. Reform is necessary even morejin the highest grades of public service,— ! president, vice-president, judges, senators, representatives, cabinet officers, —these and- all others in authority are the people’s servants. Their ofiices are not g private p_er?luisite They are, a public trust. When t]_lef annals of this republic show the disgrace: and censure: of a vice-president, a late speaker of the house of representatives marketing -liis rulings as a'presiding officer, three senators profiting secretly by their votes as law-makers, five ehairmen of the leading committees ofl the late house of representatives ,ei(po'séd in jobbery, a late secretary of the treasury forcing balances in the public accounts, a late attorney general misappropriating publie funds as secretary of thenavy ienriched or enriching friends by percentages leyied off the profits of contractors with his department, -an embassador to England censured in a dishonorable speculation, the president’s private secretary barely escaping convietion upon ftrial for guilty complicity in frauds upon the revenue, a secretary of war impeached for high crimesand confessed misdemeanors, the demonstration is complete that the first step in reform must be the people’s choice of honest men from another party, lest the disease of one political organization infest the body politic, and lest/by making no change of men and party we can;get no change of measures and no reform. All these abuses, wrongs, and erimes, the product’of 16 vears of the ascendency of the republican party, create a necessivy fo¥ reform confessed by republicans themselves; but their reformers are voted down in convention and displaced from the cabinet, and the pfrty’s mass of:honest voters is powerless to resist ‘its eighty thousand officers, its leaders and guides.; - Siodaline 10 S e A CHANGE OF MEN.. .

Reform can only be had by a peace ful eivic revolution. We demand a change of system, a change of administration, a change of parties, that we may have a change of measures and .of men. . . e

THURSDAY'S PROCEEDINGS, , . . The convention made comparatively short work in concluding its labors, The moment that order was called the excitement over Hendricks broke out,. and soon went through the conven-: tion like wild-fire, - o

Senator McDonald arose in his place and announced that there was no authority for stating whether Hendricks would accept or decline the second. place, some of the delegates believing that he would accept and others that. he would not; for this reason they de- . clined 'to present his name. This was® suflicient, hnd nearly all the delegates rose to their feet, shouting “Ilendricks!” " As soon as the excitement had subsided, Wallace, of Pennsyl-! vania, stated that his State had intended to support Paypé. of Ohio, but in view ofi the' state of affairs now proclaimed itself for Hendricks and moved his li;on_lina.tion-by acclama'tio‘\xj.’ ] At this the convention was in another uproar, shouting, “Aye!” “Hendricks/?" <‘ The calling of the roll. was finally oifz_-_‘ dered, and Hendricks was the. only man receiving any votes. The scene which followed was unparalleled inthe proceedings. It was evident that whatever heart-burnings and “bitter-: mness had been endured in the contest: between the two prineipal rivals for the first place, were now removed, ‘that the lines had been closed up and the ranks consolidated ready to march s_houldef to shoulder, to victory. « The following résolntipins w’ex;e theﬁ adopted: - P ol Resolved, 'l?h’af, it-be I'ecompienﬁ‘e‘tj to future Demoecratic National Conventions as the sense of the Demo(:ré.— ¢y here'in convention assembled thntt the so-called two-thirds rule be abolished as unwise and unnecessary, Rés'olve(f, That the Statesbe requested to instruct their delegates :to the National ‘Democratic.

His broth“er Joseph. was one of the merchant adyenturers of London who fitted out ‘the Mayflower.” This; Nathaniel Til_den ‘'married Hannahsi%oui'-ne, one of whose sisters married a brother ofGov--ernor Winslow, and another a son of @Governor Bradford. ...

' The Governor’s father, a farmer and merchant of New Lebanor, was ‘a man of notable judgment and practical sense and the accepted oracle of . the county upon all matters of public concern, while his opinion was “also eagerly sought and justly valued by all- ‘his neighbors, but by none more: ‘than by the late President.
