A year ago the Pennsylvania Dem
ocracy were Id favor of "a steady ef
fort to bring the Government notes to
jar with gold, and to secure a return
to specie paymeuts at the earliest pos
sible period that resumption can be
efTccted with safety." This year they
have turned tables on themselves, and
are just the other way.
The President is determined that
the people of Mississippi slialMie pro
tected against the White League bands
that have begun their work of terror
ism. To this end he proposes, if it
shall be necessasy, to use tho troops
for a vigorous effort to suppress those
vicious organizations, to bring the
murderers that belong to them to jus
tice, lie will carefully operate under
the Constitution, but act rigorously,
nevertheless.
The New York Democratic Con
vention has determined on a hard
tnouey platform. It may now be a
question which is to be considered the
real Democratic doctrine, that of
New York, or that of this State. The
New Yorkers are consistent, but those
of this State have nothing sufficiently
definite to make any palaver over. It
is evident thut the Democracy of
Pennsylvania are merely seeking to
trick the people into their support,
but if a mystified platform and rotten
candidates serve this purpose success
fully, wo underrate the intelligence of
the American people. Gazette.
The following are the second and
third planks in the Nebraska Demo
cratic platform adopted by the State
Convention on Friday lust:
Thnt we are in favor of a sound cur
rency, coin or its equivalent essential,
and stability in business and a restora
tion of prosperity, steps toward specie
payineut and no step backwards.
That we deprecate all attempts to
' commit the Democratic party to a sys
tem of paper money, based upon
unconstitutional exercise of federal
' power, as a crime against tho common
welfare and wanton violation of a car
dinal article of the Deinocratio creed.
The Jouhetowil Tribune says:
"The nomination of Victor E. Piolette
to tke office of State Treasurer was a
fitting finale to the doings of the Con
vention which attempted to be on both
ides of the financial question, and
which nominated Cyras L. Pershing
for Governor. He is somewhat noted
as a legislative rooster and demagogue
in Bradford county, better remember
ed as Charles K. Ituckalew's right
hand roan in the Columbia county
drafts riots of 1864; as tive President
f the Fishing Creek Cotit'ederacy.and,
in short, a traitor whom nothing but
the misplaced leniency of the Govern
ment kept from spinning at the rope's
end at the close of tho war."
Honest toil as n farmer has not soil
ed the bauds of Piolette, md he can't
control or deliver the Grange vote to
the Democratic party.
Democracy is not u unit. The
Erie platform .declares that the hard
limes are due to the policy of contrac
tion, adopted by the Republican party.
Tho New York Democrats are equally
positive that the "present depression
of bus&iness is caused by the reaction
from the unhealthy stimulus of an ft-
iTssive, (lepreciuted ami irredeemable
currency." Those at Erie taught that
a gradual expansion of the currency
will lieal the business ills ot the couu
try, while those of New York declare
it would bo "worse than iuellcctual to
revive prosperity, for it would inter
runt the healing process- of industry.'
The lirit-ites, through their Chairman,
1 Indies, tauifht that ifreenbacks are
luoury, and fulfill in themselves all
urnmists ot resumption mo rsew
Yorker flri-hire "First, gold and sil
ver the only legal tender, no currency
convertible with coin. Second, steady
steps toward specie payments, no steps
backward. Third, honest payment of
debt in coin and sacred preservation
of public faith." The Democracy of
New York have at least the merit of
consistency and honesty.
The Democratic Platform.
The New York Herald comments as
follows on the platform adopted by
the late Pennsylvania Democratic
Convention :
The platform is an insult to every
American who believes in the sacred
nuss of the national honor. It is a
platform which means repudiation, he-
cause the policy.it supports is a policy
mncu iobkh inward repudiation, it
will so result unless the good sense of
the people should defeat it. Instead
of uniting with the Democracy of
iNew lork and the East, who have
shown themselves in every trial reso
lute in support ot the national honor,
who stood by the Union when it was
threatened by treason, Pennsylvania
Democrats, under the leadership of
the worst men in the party, tro wan
dering after the wild, hare-brained
lanatics of Ohio and the West. When
we look over the names of the men
who controlled this convention we are
painfully reminded of those Pennsyl
vania Democrats who, dnriuir the war.
did so much to bring disaster upon
the party and dishonor upon its record.
These men are political tramps and
vagabonds, it is btting that a resolu
tion nhich practically means repudia
tion should be championed by that
noted tramp Francis V. Hushes, of
Schuylkill. If the Democracy of
Pennsylvania had been true to the
proud legend of their ktate, that it is
the keystone of the Union, they could
nave dono more toward reviving na
tional credit, strengthening the confi
dence of foreign governments in our
financial integrity, aiding tho admin
istration in luudiug our debt, aud, in
the end, bringing to our burdened peo
ple the sure blessings of specie pay
ments and a sound currency, than any
other State in the Union. But tho
old Bourbon copperhead politicians,
the tramps and vagabonds who flour
ished during the war, have taken pqs
session of the party. A platform was
adopted that is au insult to every
American : for Americans care little
about wlut Pennsylvania thinks of
the management of the Stato Treasu
ry; tbey care much about its record
upon inflation.
The Next Election.
The following points iu regard to
voting should bo borne in mind, aud
attended to at once : '
The New Constitution - forbids all
persons from voting unless they have
paid their taxes at least one month be
fore the date of the election. No one
of foreign birth can vote uuless, in ad
dition to the above, he has been' nat
uralized a month previous to tfce elec
tion. Friday, Octobor 1st, is the hat day
on which they can pa; taxes.
Friday, October 1st, is the last day
for taking out naturalization papers.
Each of these important duties can
be performed auy time before the days
nientioued. Let our friends see to it
that the matter is attended to before
it is ton late.
