MI ON Ati ME ME , * CHE situATioN AND ITS DITTIES: There has never been a period, within.our remembrance of politics, when large ,sec hions of any party havibeen so thoroughly disgusted and demoralized by offieial-rePre sentatiie action, as are the Democracy of the' West and Northwest at the present time. Not only in Weitern PennsylVania are their bitter disappointment and chagrin Palpably manifest, but in Ohio the entire party is disheartened, and reluctant to era: bark in a canvass which they feerto be hope lessly and justly desperate: They say that the' wishes, the Preferences of Western Dem ocrats have been most insultingly spurned, by the adroit managers who moulded the recent Convention exactly to their purpo ses. It is of no use for the leaders, in whorn'they have habituithr4mfided, to tell them I that the platform meets their de manda, if . not the • candidates. It is the fact that Western' greenback Democrats view the platform witi4 > a degree of suspicion which they o not' even attempt to disguise. Thesay that the f ti platform pleases the bond olding Demo crats of Wall street quite too well to be ex actly the thing for the masses who support -'ed la&NDLETON. They say it is a Wall street dodge, facing ,hoth ways, but capable of interpretation lathe interests - of the can didate whom Wan street has - foisted upon them. It is a flimsy device to carry water upon both 'shoulders, capable of so many ,interpretations that any'phase of Democratic sentiment can'find-official endorsement in it, or be excluded from its practical application stile pleasure of the President who may be chosen by its supporters. Show °ilea these justly suspicious Democrats a resolution Which talks of greenback . ; redemption; and 'he is very prompt to Put is upon another part of the s l ime r olution, which defers that-redemption for (teen years, cex cept to the extent of occasi nal applications of the surplus income resu tang from taxa tion. This is not 'What the PENDLETON men - bargained for, and the empty declara tion with which the _resolution concludes,' they regard equally as an insult to their un derstandings and to their just demands upon the party. a They are equally disgusted with the nom- I ination of Btu's, _the revolutionary vio lence of whose bid for the place ought, they say, to have been fatal to his claims in 1 any assemblage of honest and patriotic citzena. How much dee r add more gen eral that disgust will be w en they read the shameful and dangerous avowala in his Saturday's speech of ace ptance, it is easy to imagine. A very larg proportion of the Deniocratic masses are i li nest in their po litical , faith. We canno say that their 1.7 1 I 1 t;I , i ,
