PLATFORM.
We, the Democratic party of the United
States, in National Convention assembled,
do here declare the administration of the
Federal Government to be in urgent need
of immediate reform, do hereby enjoin
upon the nominees of this Convention, and
of the Democratic party in each State, a
zealous effort and co-operation to this end,
and do hereby appeal to onr fellow-citizens
of every former polit cal connexion to un
dertake with ns this first and most pres*,
ing duty for the Democracy of the whole
country. We do here re-aflirni onr faith
in the perrtWnency of the Federal Union,
onr devotion to the Constitution of the
United States, .with its amendments univer
sally accepted as a final settlement of the
controversies that engendered civil war,
and do here record our steadfast confidence
in tlte perpetuity of Republican self-govern
ment, in absolute acquiesenee in the will of
the majority, the vital principle of the re
public ; in the supremacy in the civil over
the military authority; in the total separa*
t’on of church gsd fcitnte for the sq^t) alike
o:'civil and religions freedom ; iu the equal
ity of idl eitiz-ns before the just laws of
tlieir own enactment; in the liberty of in.
dividual conduct, unvexed by sumptuary
laws; iu the faithful education of the rising
veneration, that they may preserve, enjoy
uid transmit these best conditions of hu
man happiness, and hope we behold the
noblest products of an hundred years of
cliamref'd history; hut while upholding the
bond of our Union and great charter of
these our rights, it behooves a tree jieople
to practice also that eternal vigilance which
is the pi ice of liberty. Reform is necessa
ry to rebuild and establish in tbo hearts of
he whole people the union eleven years
120 happily rescued from the danger of a
corrupt centralism, which utter inflicting
upon ten States the rapacity of carpet hag
tyrannies, has honeycombed the offices of

Reform is necessary to correct the omission
of the Republican CongreM; and the errors
of our treaties, trad our diplomacy, whii
have stripped our dHItik-lSmcns ot foreij,
birth and kindred race, recrossing the At
lantic,’ of the shield of American citizenship,
and have exposed our brethren of the. Pa
cific eoast to the incursions of a race not
•prung from the same grl .t * rtrent stock,
and in fiict rtow, by law, denied citizenship
through naturalization, as being neither
accustomed to the traditions of a progressive
civilization. We denounce the policy which
thus discards the liberty-loviug German and
tolerates the revival of the Gmlie trade in
Mongolian women, imported for immoral
purpose*, and Mongolian men hired to per
form servile labor contracts, and demand
such modification of the treaty with the
Chinese Empire, or such legislation by Con
gress within a Constitutional limitation, as

sectarian strife in respect to the public
schools of which the establishment to sup
port belongs exclusively to the several
States, and which the Democratic party has
cherish from their foundation, ana resolved
to maintain without partially or preference
for any class, sect or creed, and without con
tributing from the Treasury to any; the
fidsc issue by which they seek to light anew
the dying embers of sectional hate betweon
kindred people people, once unnaturally es
tranged, but now reunited in one indivisble
republic, and a common destiny: Reform
is necessary in civil service. Experience
proves .that efficient, economical conduct of
the Governmental business Is not possible,
if its civil service be subject to change
at every election, he a prize fought for at
the ballot box, be a brief reward of («rty
zeal instead of posts of honor assigned for
tinived competency mid held for fidelity in
the public employ, that the dispensing of
patronage should*neither be a tax upon time
of all our public men, nor the instrument
ofthrir ambition. Hero again professions
falsified in the performance attest that the
party in power can work out no practical or
salutatory r-furm. Reform is necessary even
more in the higher grades of public service—
President. Vice-President, J tidges, Senators,
Representatives and Cabinet officers. These
and all others in authority are the people’s
servants, their offices and not a private per
quisite—They are a public trust' When
the annals of this country show the disgrace
and censure of a Vice-President, a late
Speaker of the House ot Representatives
•rarketing his rulings as a presiding officer,
three Senators profiting secretly by their
votes as law-makers, five chairmen of the
leading committees of the late House of
Representatives exposed in jobbery, a late
Secretary of the Treasury forcing balances
in the public accounts, a late Attorney-
General misappropriating public funds, ft
Secretaay of the Navy enriched or enriching
friends by percentages levied off the profits
uf contracts with bis department, an ambas
sador to Eugland censured in a dishonor ible
speculation, the President’s private Secreta
ry barely escaping conviction on trial for
guilty complicity in fraud on the revenue, a
Secretary of War impeached for high crimes
and 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 politics 1 organization
infest the body politic, and thereby making
no change of men or |>arty, we can get no
change of measures and no reform. All
these abases, wrongs and crimes, the pro
duct of six'cen years ascendancy of the
Republican party, create a necessity for re
form, confessed by Republicans themselves,
bat their reformers are voted down in con
vention and displaced from the cabinet. The
party’s mass of honest votes is powerless to
resist the 80,000 office holders—its leaders
and guides. Reform can only be had bv a
peaceful civil revolution. We demand a
change of system; a change of administra
tion ; a change of parties, that we may have
change of members and of then.
'ihc reading was frequently interrupted
by applause. The denunciation of the re
sumption act a“ddema d for its repeal was
received with especial favor.
At the conclusion Dorsheimer said the
committee had adopted and endorsed,
though not as apart of .the platform, in the
resolution which he read endorsing the
.iclion of the House of Representatives in
i*utting down app; opriations, he exhorted
also the resolution as to the just claims of
soldiers, sailors and widows and orphans
Ewiug, of Ohio, took the platform and
mah said that at the request of several member*
.. uid trouble them no further.

your votes to the most distinguished advo
cate. hut if you want to give us any show to
carry the hard money States, stand by the
platform as presented. > (Applause.) This
i® a compromise in which the East has yiel
ded so much as to have already elicited a
strong 1 protest numerously signed by the
Eastern States. On this we stand or fall.
If you adopt the amendment of the gentle
man from Ohio then goed-bte to your hopes.
The Committee’s report, however, gives us a
living chance of success. In conclusion, he
demanded the call of the States on the ques
tion. ! . ■ •;-■? .1
Voorhees, of Indiana, took the platform.
He said Dorsheitner’s issue was a lake issue.
As stated by him there is no issue here of
hard or soft money. They were all in favor
of resumption as soon as 'healtbfblly practi
cable; whosoever desires it earlier, desires
it for some private, improper purpose. He
earnestly opposed any attempt at enti roed
resumption. The law had been in force two
years nod the country is two per cent fur
ther off from a gold standard than it was
when the law was passed; natural laws of
legislation, if nut unwise, will soon cover the
12 per cent, gap between gold and paper.
Let us have the question to these natural
laws. Referring to Dorsheimer he said the
West bad followed the lead of New York
too long already, and it is now time to assert
the power of the mighty West. [Applause.]
Watterson, of Kentucky, urged the policy
of supporting tiie committee’s report signed
hy twenty-nine of its members, after careful
consideration and asserting the impolicy of
overthrowing that, hy the exdted action of
the Convention in its condition of excitement,
power, at the beginning::oF » ficax6ti,'to
know whether it will bd.nlwet or dr/One;
of to discover at ft certain period whether
the average quantity of rain to ! be expected
for the month, has already fallen. ; • ■,
Now*' if there are no sigua of a wet year,
the fanner may proceed with greater coiifi-
dence ip his operations; but if the year,
from the rainfall of the first month or so,
and from the weather of the opening spring,
gives evidence* of being 0 wet one, then lie
must be mure careful ht dreuring tiie fruits
of the harvest,. When r therefore, there is
; e*son from this information to inspect pinch
nuti,' We' farther' nhonld more carefully ob
serve hi*'weather instruments, and the mi®»

approaching, .he can, even under an unfa

while, his cautious neigUinir, wailing for

go by. W en the grain and the hay have
been cat and are standing in the field, the
one with his instruments will be able to
predict a coming change aud harvest his
crops under shelter while the other, de
ceived by the appearance of a cloudless skv,
will let the fruits of his labor stand in the
fields to be ruined by the unexpected rain.
Seasons may vary, but none will be found
inconsistent with themselves, simply be

After much confusion the States were

L. H. Chaebonieb,
" Pres’t. State Agricultural College,
Dear Sir.— • t
As tne present week has visited upon us
a most remarkable season, such an one *a
has not probably been experienced in this
country for a number of years past, and a®
this occurs at this the period of our summer
solstice, no doubt you can present some
practical points or foots in regard thereto
which may pi ove both of interest and pro
fit to the many readers of the Georgian,
especially our agricultural friends. If the
duties of your responsible position will per
mit, you will confer a fovor upon the
Geob ian by furnishing us for publication
a communication on this subject, and doubt
less, thereby contribute a lasting benefit to
the people of this section.

But to my story. A friend of mine who was
at the Treasury Department on business last
week met the Hon. gent there, and know
ing him pretty well ventured to ask what his
errand was; to which Smalls replied that he
had heen calling on the Secretary in hehnlf
of the daughter of his old mistress who had
been reduced to extreme poverty by the war,
and that his mission had resulted in a
promise from' that official that she should
have the first vacancy in his department
He also informed my friend that he intend'
ed to nominate the young lady’s brother to a
had lietter try to shoot hint, and' He asked
a dot of neighbors to come around and help
him with their shot-guns. When thoy would
hear )he bear scratching at one of the win
dows, they would pour in a volley at him ;

Editor Athens Georgian:—Your note
requesting an article upon the causes which
have produoed each a succession of rain
storms as we have just experienced, is to
hand. ■yuiir ■
To enter into a discussion of these causes
which have produced such a wet grain har
vest, would take mote space amt thought
than l ean now bestow; besides, I think
that it will be of for more interest, to the
farmer especially, to be given some practi
cal suggestions as to the prediction of these
storms, thereby enabling him to make read
forthem, than to be aeqnainted with the theo
ries of such phenomena. The knowledge
of the use ,of meteorological instruments
should hh “of 0 prevalent among formers
than at present- Tho Captain of a ship
would no more think of going to sea with
out his barometer and hygrometer, than of
venturing out with » mddarieaa ship.

another objection is thst the resolution as re-

them since their freedom, such fact9 as these
shine out like stars, and I put this one on
record with genuine praise and pleasure.

has shown himself a diamond iu the rough,
and 'deserves not only high credit but the re

heart and grateful spirit.

At last Bartholomew thought hu, jvoqjd
try strategy. He procured a hui;e iron
hook with a sharp point to it, tied it to a
rope and put throe or four pounds of fresh
beef on the hook. Then he went up,tho

and droppe: the bait. In a few thbments
