The Wisconsin Democratic Platform, The following is the platform adopted by the Wisconsin Democracy at their State Convention held at Madison on the 9th of September: ' The Democracy of Wisconsin, in Convention assembled, declare the following convictions and pringiples of their political taith, and cordially invite the co-operation-of all good citizens in the endeavor to establish them as guides for the government of the Country: 1. The Democratic party was founded by illustrious statesmen in the early days of the Republic, to settle customs calculated to secure self-government to the people and the largest measure of individual and political liberty and equality to every citizen, regardless of birth, rank or wealth, and in express and unfailing antagonism to all those politicians, by whatever party name designated, who assert and support the aristocratic doctrine of centralization of political power in the hands of a few for the government of the many; and it maintains against its adversaries now, as heretotfore, the right of free citizens to local self-government. - : 2. To secure and perpetuate the blessings of such liberty and equality our system of government was formed; that in that system the National Government is an indissoluble union; that within the limit of powers delegated by the Constitution and its amendments, the National Government is su[{)reme; that all powers not thereby delegated to the United States nor prohibited to the States are reserved to the States respectively, or to the pcople, and that the preservation of the just powers of the Federal Union and the rights of the States as vital parts of one harmonious whole is essential to the protection of liberty for ourselves and its transmission to our posterity. :

3. The Government of the Union has clln'oved itself strong enough to cope with and overthrow the most powertul:attempt at disruption by force which can be aimed against it. The danger to democratic liberty and self-gov-ernment from centralized power and oppression, shown by all history to be the most tatal, has yet to be encountered; and we charge upon the leaders of the Republican party the responsibility for the inost perilous steps toward that end. They have sanctioned the use of the military to overawe electors and control elections; they have defended flagrant outrages in the counting of votes by illegal Returning Beards; they have upheld and supported fraudulent . State Governments by military power; they have established a horde of ‘infamous partisan officials at the polls in divers . cities, chietly in the Northern States, at <the expense of the National Treasury, .with power to imprison free citizens, their opponents, without warrant, in order to intimidate electors and control elections; they have,' by treasonable conspiracy, defeated the popular voice in the election of a President, and placed in the Exec¢utive Office a defeated candidate: and they have, by torcing him to the unjustifiable exercise of the veto power, defeated the will ot the people, expressed by decisive majorities in the houses of Congress, in an effort to secure the freedom of the ballot-box from interterence by the central power; while by various acts, at different tiumnes, they have unreasonably multiplied the number of Federal officials and unjustitiably increased and .concentrated political power in their hands, and imposed grievous burdens on the people. :

4. That the inauguratiQ% of Rutherford B. Hayes into the Presidential office, to which Samuel J. Tilden was constitutionally elected, was the highest ¢rime ever successtully perpetrated against the spirit of the institutions of our republic@n liberty, destructive ot confidence in free suffrage, immediately dangerous to the life of the Nation, and shocking to all moral sense; and we solemnly declare that, as that crime has never been condoned, so it shall never be forgotten, and that the same spirit’ of patriotism which torbore the contest upon the first offense will resist and ‘punish any attempt at the repetition. 5. The Democracy of Wiseonsin denounce and condemn whatever of intimidation, violence or fraud has been practiced by lawless and unscrupulous partisans on either side, and whatever done. They also stigmatize as wicked and atrocious, and demanding summary and condign punishment, all deeds of violence on political adversaries. They weould, however, for all such pursue the remedies given by law, and they call upon the authorities of the State and localities where any such offenseés have been perpetrated to justify the law, and unrelentingly prosecute and punish the offenders; but alleged frauds do not warrant political conspirators to decide how a State ought to have cast its vote, orso to declare it by fraudulent count in favor of some candidates and against others ‘on the same ticket who received the same in a greater vote; nor do occasional deeds of personal violence, though springing from political animosity, authorize usurpation or unjustifiable interference with local government by F(ideml officials; -and in the turbulence and dfsorder of some parties of some Southern States we recognize the legitimate and natural fruit of the unlawful carpetbag authority and misrule to which they have been fraudulently subjected by the leaders of the Republican party. 6. The Democratic party is unalterably opgosed to the assumption or. payment by the Tnited States of any claims of any character to States or individuals engaged in or supporting the late rebellion against the Union, resulting from or growing out of the injury or destruction of property in the war, notwithstanding an enormous amount of such claims was allowed and paid under authority of Congress while in the hands of the Republican party. ! 7. That as the Democratic party adheres to the financial doctrine which it established when in power, that the Constitutional currency of the country and the basis of all other should be gold and silver coin; so we maintain that "all -treasury notes and authorized currency sho?ld ‘be convertible into the same on demand. : :

8. That the Democracy does not forget that to the promptness, valor, endurance and noble devotion of the patriotic volunteers of the army and navy in the late war, this country is indebted, under Providence, for the salvation of its form of government, and the Constitutional liberty and prosperity now enjoyed b{ all the citizens, and again thankfully acknowledges the debt of National and individual gratitude which is due to the living and dead heroes of the Nation—an obligation which increases with years, and which entitles the survivors to receive all the marks of appreciation and honor which a grateful people can properly bestow. : ; '9. That the administration of State affairs ought to be conducted with greater economy, and greater effort made to diminish the burden of taxes, that all official salaries and fees, and al] expenditures for State charitable, educational and penal institutions raised to meet the necessities of highg)riced times must now be correspondingly reduced, and all useless boards and commissions abolished, and that the candidates of this Convention pledge their best endeavors to pursue acourse of retrenchment in public expenditures. : ; 10. We should protect our naturalized citizens as we do our native-born, in everiy part of the civilized world, and we should resist all im= proper claims upon them by governments to which they no longer owe allegiance. i 11. That, as the Democratic part{:3 being ‘founded on those principles which best supgort the liberty and welfare of the citizen, has itherto survived all former adversaries, 8o by faithful adherence to its time-honored doctrines and the sclection ot honest and competent men for public affairs, it looks forward with abiding conftdence to its final and complete tritimph over all who now oppose those principles. < : :

The California Election. California has undoubtedly gone Republican by a' large plurality on' the State ticket, with a probability that three Republican Congressmen have been chosen. lln the light of the returns the cause of the Republican success becomes clearly apparent. The Democrats this year did precisely what the Republicans did in 1875. They split into two or three parties, and the Republicans, who were nea.riy solid, hac.{) a plurality, thoufih falling far short of a ma{ority. At the last election of National importance previous to 1875, the Republicans had shown that they ‘were in the majority in the State. The independent judicial movement in 1874 drew : liirfely from the Republican ¥al;ty;; and demoralized the party bp,dly,’ In 1875 the Independents appeared in the field with candidates forpgtate officers, and more than three-fourths of their vote was drawn from the Republicans. The Democrats nominated a stron%candidate, and their organization being in splendid condition they fairly swept the State, receiving more votes than both Republicans and Inde-

pendents together. Yet:the very next year the Presidential contest welded the Republicans solidly, and they carried the State on the heaviest vote ever polled. = Since then the Workingmen’s movement has assumed wide proportions. It was instrumental in securing the framing of a new Constitution, and when that instrument was submitted it was adopted by 11,000 majority, in the face of the opposition of a large majority of the Republicans and a considera‘ble minority of the Democrats, regarding the voters according to their old party affiliations. A new Constitution party was formed which assumed a special identification with the instrument; but the Workingmen’s party kept up its organization, and the regular Demoecracy put a ticket in the field. The original Republican supporters of the Constitution voted the new Constitution ticket, but the Democratic vote was divided nearly in twain on the Governorship and into three frac%men,ts on many of the remaining candidates. The Republicans, not suffering anything like the anticipated defection, had the largest following at command, and, therefore, although their vote was much less than half, they secured the fruits of the election. If the Democrats knew as much before the election as they do now, the opposition would not have been so badly scattered; but the lesson will not be lost upon them. Nextyear, when no distracting State issues will engross attention, there will be a square stand-up fight between the Republicans and Democrats, and this year’s result is therefore no criterion.—Detrowt Free Press. ’ ‘

New York Democratic Platform. The following is the platform adopted by the New York Democratic State Convention on the 11th of September: The Democratic party of the State of New York, in Convention assembled, profoundly sensible of the important consequences depending upon the immediate result of their deliberations, do declare and re-assert the principles of popular liberty and rights -laid down by Washington, Jefferson and other founders of the Republic. We hold to the Constitution, with all its amendments sacredly maintained and enforced, and to the rights of the States under the Constitution. The tendencies of the Republican party to centralization and consolidation are contrary to the principles of our institutions. The United States form a Nation in the sense and to the extent and:for the purposes defined in the Federal Constitution, and we resist every attempt to transform it into an Empire. We insist on unity, fraternity and concord, and that the issues settled by the war shall not be revived. We deprecate the efforts of the Republican managers to revive sectional feuds and to kindle the passions of the past. We demand honest elections and an honest count of votes. Never again, by fraud or force, shall the popular will be set aside to gratify unscrupulous partisans. - i The Democracy oppose. all favoritism. No single interest or class of persons should be protected at the expense of the other. Democracy means the Government of the whole people, for the whole people, and by the whole people, but if any class is to receive special consideration, it should be the working people, whom all other Governments oppose and crush. The rights of the people should be scrupulously guarded from the encroachments ?if capital and the despotic greed of corporaons. o The Democracy believe now, as they have always believed, in gold and silver as the Constitutional money of the. country. We. condemn the speculative methods, of the present Secretary of the Treasury; the questionable favoritism he has shown to particular monetary institutions, so-called Syndicates, and the extravagances he has permitted in his Department lln connection with his refunding schemes. We look with shame and sorrow on the dis%raceful repudiation ‘of their professions of ivil-Service Reform by the Executive and his supporters. The Federal offices have been freely given for despicable partisan services. The leading officers of the Government are making partisan speeches, managing political campaigns and requiring their subordinates to contribute to campaign funds in derogation of every principle and gromise of honest Civil Service. The one hundred and four thousand Federal officers constitute an army, moving under a single direction to keep the Republican party in power, and this vast patronage is now used as a corruption fund against the pe‘({})le:’ £ : e congratulate the people of the State of New York on the results of the Democratic Administration in the payment of the State debt, the reduction of expenses, and the diminished burden of taxation. e

We condemn the efforts of demagogues to create jealousy and antagonism between the City of New York and the rest of the State, when their interests are identical. The growth of the one is the prosperity of the other. The people of New York—farmers, manufacturers and merchants, alike—demand that they shall have all the advantages which accrue to them from their favorable position, and that the railroads they have chartered and endowed with vast and profitable privileges shall be opierat-edA for their benefit and not for their ruin, - v The Democratic officers of the State of New York, by the ability and fidelity in which they have discharged their duty during the past three years, by their conscientious application of Constitutional tests to the acts of every department of the State Government, by their successful resistance to private and &mrtial legislation and by their economical conduct of the finances and reduction of the expenses of the State Government, have entitled themselves to the gratitude of their fellow-citizens of all parties. . We therefore indorse as our expression of the foregoing principles, the following: 1. Honesty, efficiency and economy in every department of the Government. . 2. All property should bear its just proportion of taxation, and ‘we pledge the Democratic paaty to reform the laws of assessment to that end. 3. Lessening the burdens and increasing the advantages of the working people. 4. The equal g)ro‘tection of the rights of labol and capital under just laws. 5. Railroads to be prohibited by law from unjust discrimination and from favoring localities or-individuals. 6. The tolls upon the canals to be kept at the lowest rates possible consistent with economical and efficient management. 7. The maintenance of the public schools, the pride and hope of a free State. . 8. Prisons _are for the punishment and reformation of criminals, and not for the injury of honest labor, which should be progiected, as far as possible, from such competiion. - L 9 Municigal self-government in local affairs. , 10. That the successful efforts of our Democratic"Re(fresent atives in Congressin restoring a fair and intelligent jury system, and in protecting the freedom of the ballot and preventing the unconstitutional interference of the Federal Administration with State elections, is approved, and the action of the Executive in vetoing the legislation designed to prevent the presence of armed soldiers and the employment of truid Supervisors and Marshals at the polls, and the use of public funds for this purpose,’'is denounced by the Democracy of the State of New York. ¢ - 11. And as the foundation of all liberty and rosperity, privileges and rights, under our govemment, we shall continue to u%hold the gystem of untrammeled suffrage absolutely free from Federal force or supervision. _ 12. It is the duty of the State alike in the .interest of taxation, temperance and e(sl{lal and exact justice to the community, to make such ‘a revigion of the excise laws as will better seoure the rights of the citizens to life, liberty, property and public order.

Murder by Indirection. { ‘After the close of the war in 1865 the | Republican party, being then in full | possession of the Federal Government, | adopted a policy which degraded the | States of the South into mere satrapies ruled for a time by military commanders and afterward by disreputable and | desperate Republican adventurers. This policy, known as' ‘‘reconstruction,” was forced upon the country by the"‘ Republican leaders in Congress in utter contempt ef the views and pledges of Abraham Lincoln and - against the earnest and persistent. protests of his | successor in the Presidential office. During its enforcement local government in the South was handed over to a setwof unconscionable scoundrels who plundered the -treasuries of the- States, added immensely to State and municipal indebtedness and levied . takes on the people which tere almost tantamount to confiscation. What were the consequences? The industries of the people were destroyed, such property as had escaped the ravages of war became worthless, whole communities were reduced to abject poverty, and starvation and death came to many a - Southern .household. @ White people and Dblack suffered alike from the blighting eftects of the hideous evils that followed in the train of reconstruction. Of all political crimes ever committed this deliberate, cold-blooded attempt. of the Republican party to crush the life out of the Southern péople, to give over men, women and children to pillage and starvafion, was one of the most cowardly, cruel and infamous. This was political murder in the true sense of the term and it was murder by the wholesale. The animus of the ißepublican leaders in concocting and putting in operation the villainous scheme of reconstruction was two-fold, lust of power and hatred of the Southern people. Such was the malice-aforethought which led'them to plan and carry into ‘execution their murderous attempts upon the Southern communities. But another crime almost as black and brutal as reconstruction lies at the door of the Republican party. If the statistics of suffering and death resulting from the Freedmen’s Bank swindle could be ascertained it would appear that many a poor : African went to a premature grave because of the loss of all he had in the world through the thieving operation of the Freedmen's Bank. That institution was invented, organized and managed by Republicans. It had the sanction and countenance of the leaders of the Republican part%' in Congress. It was recommended to the confidence of the colored people throughout “the country by prominent members of the Republican party. Because eminent Republicans stood sponsors for it, and because the colored people were thus induced to believe that the institution was created for their benefit by men who. continually vaunted their friendship for them, and who, on account of their control of the Government, were able to protect them, some three mill‘ions of dollars of the hard earnings of men, women and . children were deposited in the bank to be embezzled or gambled away by those who conducted its affairs, . Nor does the responsibility of the Republican party for this stupendous crime against the colored people end with the collapse of the fraudulent bank. It is an accessory after as well as before the fact. .It has concealed the atrocious swindle as well as it was able, and it has protected those who perpetrated: it from exposure and punishment. Only since the,K Demoeratic party regained the ascendancy in Congress has any effort been made to inquire into the operations of the Freedmen's Bank, and it was only after the Democrats obtained a majority in the United States Senate that Senator Bruce, of Mississippi, the only representative of the African race in that body, deemed it worth his while to ask for a committee of investigation, Of course it is not contended nor suggested that the Republican leaders ai&ed the thieves of the bank either'in getting deposits or in escaping from justice because’ they desired to inflict an injury on the colored people, but: simply and solely because the thieves were their political associates. But this does not mitigate the blame that attaches to their conduct, nor in any degree lessen the responsibility of their party. The lives of the poor wretches who were: done to death by this most wicked and gigantic swindle will be required at the hands of the men who deliberately contrived and executed it, and the party which has endeavored te conceal the crime and protect the criminals cannot hope to escape accountability before an enlightened public opinion. —Harrisburg gPa.)

Business and the Republican Party. - If the country is to believe the half that the organs of the Republican conspirators claim fir their party, every evidence of retirning prosperity is to be placed to the credit of Republicanism. | A little investigation of the subject is in order. Immediately following the declaration of peace between the North and South, the North was enjoying almost unexampled prosperity. At that time every shop and ' factory from Maine to California was in full operation. Labor was employed and well paid. Thrift, enterprise and prosperity was to be seen on every hand, and everybody was hopeful. At this time the Relpublican pargy, then in supreme control, inaugurated the twin curses of ;contr_action‘;%?i shrinkage. They went hand in hand. They were the colossal monstrosities born of Rf(:ipubl.ican parents, which, fostered and warmed into vigorous life by 'the Shylocks, commenced in 1873 their active work of destruction. Failure followed failure in rapid succession. Business of every description was paralyzed. Industrial enterprises were suspended. Values commenced shrinking. Business houses, great and small, commenced tumbling; a business. ,earth-guake had the country in its grasp; confidence fled and consternation was enthroned; working men and women were set adrift; employment could not be obtained, and an army of tramps was created; mendicants were upon all the highways and byways of the land; hun§er and starvation visited thousands of homes where

formerly thrift and’ comfort had. been enjoyed; crimes multiplied = until penitentiaries - and- jails = = were over-crowded; the bankrupt courts were everywhere set in operation, and the fresh-made graves in the business burial-grounds of the land bear mownful testimony of the curse of Re- - publican rule, - Men of recognized wealth to-day were beggars to-morrow. Their lands and houses had passed into the hands of the Shylocks. Their property had shrunk by the curse of contraction fully fifty per cent., and they . saw the men wham the Republican party had legislated to benefit, pocket their farms, houses, factories and shops. They saw the value of bonds advanced to a high premium, payable, principal and interest, in gold, in defiance of every consideration of law and justice, while everything else declined. :In addition to all of these Republican curses, they saw R}publican, officials stealing everything “in sight.! They saw: Grant accepting bribes, from a bull-pup to a_ palace, while his Cabinet officers werée robbing the Federal Treasury. They saw corruption, dishonesty, fraud, peculation and -shameless villany in every Alepartment of the Government. They saw an army of .carpet-baggers robbing the South; agents robbing the Indians; officials were debauching the Tregsury Department, and others the Navy Department. The Department of Justice —Heaven save the mark——was rotten with fraud; the Postoflice Department was a den of thieves. The negroes’ were robbed throwgh the ageney of a Freedman's (faro) bank, and the army was - robbed by: a Cabinet official. It was a reien of bpiracy,: plunder, ‘highway-robbery, _contraction, shrinkage, failure, bankruptey, idleness, poverty, starvation and crime. The country was appalled. A c¢hange ~was resolved upon, and Republicanism ‘was doomed. Tne Demoeratic party ; came sweeping into power. - The House ~of Representatives was made once more Democratie, and finally, in 1879, the legislative branch of the Government } passed into the hands of the Democratic party, and to-day the Executive branch of the Government, but for the triumph of perjury, would be in Democratic hands. Notwithstanding - this record’of crime, the Republican . party claims the credit of ushering in an era of prosperity-to the country. With the impudence of devils they deny Jehovah any credit for a succession of abundant crops, and the foreign demand for American grain, provisions and eotton, the Republican party claims, should be set down to the credit of its financial policy. Republican' conspirators seek to transform their crimes into virtues, their falsehoods into facts, and their record, black with perfidy, into a history radiant with'integrity and veracity. ’Th‘e forced resumption policy of the Republican party has cost the country in the shrinkage of values alone not less thaim “$8,000,000,000, in failures and bankruptcies more than $3,000,000,000, and in the loss of wages by idleness not less than $7,000,000,000 more. Here, then, is a grand aggregate of losses directly traceable to the policy of forced resumption of more than $18,000,000,000. . And, after all, resumption eould not be maintained but for the action of the Democratic party, and this fact some of the Shylock organs are forced to admit. The remonetization' of silver was a Democratic measure, and has contributed its full share .in whatever revival of business the country enjoys, ‘The Democratic party also arrested the curse of contraction by keeping in cir'culation more than $300,000,000 :of greenback currency, which it was the purpose of the Republican conspirators to retire. The policy-of the Republican. party has been to kill" business instead of reviving it, and’if they have not succeeded, the fact is to be credited to a Providence which sent bountiful harvests, to the Democratic party which ~sought to arrest contraction, shrinkage, bankruptey and idleness, and to the unparalleled recuperative energies of the ’ people which have withstood the curse of Republicanism for nearly twenty years.—lndianapolis Sentinel.. =

A Case of Love at First Sight. YESTERDAY morning, while a widow of some forty-five summers was quietly sitting in the ladies’ reception-room at the car-shed, waiting for the outwardbound Macon train to back down; a short, heavy-set gentleman, _with shaggy whiskers,. deliberately walked up to her, and, without the slightest ‘warning or the shadow of an . introduction, began making a proposal of marriage in the most earnest manner imaginable. After expressing in unmistakable and ' ardent language the fervor of his improptu affection, he stated that he was the. owner of one thousandlacres of land in the western portion of the State, and had the honor to be the fond parent of two interesting children, aged respectively seven and eight years, and who were at that moment enjoying the privilege’ of excellent schooling. He then proceeded to beg her to marry him at once, and : if she could not make it convenient to . do so then and there, please to: register a promise that she would, under no . circumstances, put the wedding off longer than the ensuthg Saturday. The ofi'—%and lover spoke in such arapid and impassionéd strain that it was impossible to check him until the tale had been - told. Whereupon the elderly lady, having recovered from the confusion and amazement inseparable from a court- . ship so startling in character, 'blushingly, but firmly, informed him that he was a ‘‘rank’! stranger to her, having never laid eyes on him before, that ske was taken completely aback by his offhand, though warm proposal, that she: had not even the pleasure of knowing his name, and, while she ,ap‘grec‘igted his kindly sentiment for her, she could not consent to become his wife on such exceedingly short notice. Upon this he grant_'zfi {er a brief hour for reflection and walked away, returning promptly before the departure of the Macon train, and, taking a seat beside her in the ladies' car, was again pressing his suit in the most urgent manner as the- - passed out of the shed.—d¢lanta (Ga.)
