DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
Correct Text of the Declaration of Princi
ples Adopted at Cincinnati.
The democrats of the United States,
in convention assembled, declare:
1. We pledge ourselves anew to the consti
tutional doctrines and traditions of the dem
ocratic party as illustrated by the teachings
and example of a long line ol democratic
statesmen and patriots, and embodied in the
platlorm of the last National Convention of
the party.
2. Opposition to centralization and to that
dangerous spirit ol encroachment which tends
to consolidate the powers of all the depart
ments in one, and thus to create, whatever the
form of the government, a real despotism. No
sumptuary laws; separation of church and
state for the good of each; common schools
fostered and protected.
3. Home rule; honest money, consisting of
gold and silver and paper convertible into
com on demand; the strict maintenance of t he
public faith, state and national, and a tariff
for revenue only.
4. The subordination ol the military to the
civil power, and a genuine and thorough re
lorp.oX^cWi^sery^g. ualxotls a rfgllt prP _
servative ol all rights, and must and shall be
maintained in every pari of the United States.
0. The present administration is the repre
sentative ol a conspiracy only, and its claim
of right to surround the ballot-boxes with
troops and deputy marshals, to intimidate and
obstruct the election, and the unprecedented
use ol the veto to maintain its corrupt and
despotic powers, insult the people and imperil
their institutions.
7. We execrate the course of this adminis
tration in making places in the civil service a
reward tor political crime, and demand a re
form by statute which sha 1 make it forever
impossible for a defeated candidate to bribe
his way to the seat of a usurper by billeting
villains upon the people.
8. The gren fraud of 1870-77, by which, upon
a false count of the electoral votes of two
-rates, the candidate defeated at the polls de
clared to be president, and for the first time in
American history the will of the peonle was
-et aside under a threat of military violence,
-truck a deadly blow at our svstem of repre
sentative government. The democratic party,
to preserve the country from the horrors of a
civil war, submitted for the time in firm and
patriotic faith that the people would punish
this crime in 1880. This issue precedes and
dwarfs every other. It imposes a more sacred
■ luty upon the people than ever addressed the
consciences of a nation of freenn n.
9. The resolution of Samuel J. Tilden not
again to be a candidate for the exalted place
to which be was elected by a majority of bis
countrymen, and from which he was excluded
by the leaders of the republican party, is re
ceived by the democrats ol’ the United States
with deep sensibility, and they declare their
confidence in bis wisdom, patriotism ancl in
tegrity unshaken by the assaults of the com
mon enemy; and they further assure him that
he is iollowed into the retirement he lias clio
-en for himself by tlie sympathy and respect
ot Jus fellow citizens, who regard him as one
who, by elevating the standard Ol public mor
ality and adorning and purifying the public
service, merits the lasting gratitude of his
country and his party.
10. Free ships and a living chance for Am
clean commerce upon the seas, and on the
laud no discrimination in iavor of transporta
tion lines, corporations and monopolies.
11. Amendment of the Burlingame treaty;
no more Chinese immigration, except for trav
el, education and foreign commerce, and it
even carefully guarded.
12. Public money and public credit forpublic
purposes solely, and public land for actual
settlers.
13. The democratic party is llie friend of la
bor and the laboring man, and pledges itself
to protect him alike against the cormorants
and the commune.
14. We congratulate the country upon the
honesty and tlirilt of a democratic congress
!i(k s re 'Oceil the public expemlituics
$400,000,000 a year; upon the continuation of
prosperity at home, ami the national honor
abroad, and above all upon tlie promise of such
a change in the administration of the govern
ment as shall insure us genuine and lasting
reform in every department ol the public
service.

TENNESSEE POLITICS.
The situation in Tennessee does
not imnrnvc Tho “low prodit”
ty is evidently very strong 1 , so there
is very little hope of defeating Haw
kins. The trouble all comes of the
state debt, which aggregates about
twenty-six millions. The supporters
of Wilson oppose the payment of a
very large portion of the debt, while
Wright’s friends consider the state,
now equally bound on it all and are
impatient to make such compromise
as it is believed will be satisfactory
to tho bondholders. This one issue
has so divided democrats that either
wing prefers the election of Hawkins
the republican, to the democralic
candidate in opposition.
Wright, a gallant man and who
would do honor to the state as its ex
ecu live officer, has the prestige of a
nominating convention under the
two-thirds rule, but his supporters
have used hard names about those
who sympathized with the Wilson
faction—bolters from the convention
—and their confederates, so that bad
blood is hot, and good men may well
deplore the situation. Outsiders may
think the honesty of the state is alto
gether on one side, but this is not the
case. It is true that much of the lia
bility of the state is unjust, but it was
funded by a democratic administra
tion and the action more than once
ratified. So it ig, in fact, now, with
bad grace that complaints are pro
duced, instead of the interest as it
accrues.
What to do about i(, is a vexed
question; however, communism is
rife, and the hope of compelling the
railroads to pay, because of certain
lien rights mentioned on the Lee of
the bonds issued for railroad purposes,
has been the stay of a class; but that
prop has been knocked from under
by a recent decision of the supreme
court. (These railroads have paid
into the state treasury all that was
required of them, using different se
ries of bonds than those issued spe
cially in their behalf, a privilege
granted by legislative enactment.)
The situation lias become painfully
aiarming. There appears to be no
end to the trouble. If the state cred
it representatives, ns they are called,
win in the present race, it is most
probable that a succeeding adminis
tration will blot out what they may
do. So threatening is the situation,
that well-to-do old men are volun
teering payments. Hon. George W,
Jones proposes to be one of two thou
sand to pay the debt; Hon. Joseph
W. Allen agrees to be another. Sen
ator Isham G. Harris told me the
other day that he would undertake
to pay all he could; offered to pay ?
say $2,000 toward buying the bonds
to the end that a bon-fire be made of
them. Irregular and unfair as this
plan may seem, I took to it as the
one hopeful way of getting rid of the
debt. There are enough of such men
in sentiment, but less able in purse
to volunteer the payment of the debt.
It occurs to me that Wright’s sup
porters might, in some way, prove
the faith they profess by their works
by volunteering to pay this great
sum. Let there be a gilded honor
list of those who volunteer to share
such assessment as may be necessary,
and let the list bo made perpetual.
It would be a glorious record, and if
properly started, would, I verily be
lieve, be made sufficient to pay such
amount as would be entirely satisfac
tory to creditors. And if such action
should be taken at once, the democ
racy might be relieved a governor
who delights, on the stump, to advo
cate republicanism in a manner not
only obnoxious to the people, but
disgusting to the refined of society.
However unjust part of the debt, the
only hope of settlement is through
such compromise as can be made
with cieditors.
COL. CLEMENTS.
Col. Judson C. Clements stopped
over in this city, at the St. James,
last Thursday night. He left on tie
morning train for Taylorsville, Rock
mart and Cedar town, where he hid
appointments to speak. We had the
pleasure of hearing him at Taylors
ville. His speech was able and con
ciliatory and was well received.
Unlike the most of the speeches we
have had for the last six years in
congressional campaigns in this dis
trict, it was free from personal
abuse, and whenever he mentioned
Dr. Felton’s name he did it with
kindest works and utmost respect.
Hedeclaied himself in favor ol
paying the public debt as rapidly as
possible; in favor of the green-back
dollar, and in favor of the coinage
of silver and gold for the payment of
the public debt as rapidly as fhe gov
ernment can procure the bullion.
He contended that tho immense
number of office holders should he
lessened,and that the enormous sala
ries received by the balance should
bo reduced, and that tho vast amount
of money that could be thus saved
should be applied to the extinguish
ment of the public debt. In speak
ing of the internal revenue system,
he said it was unjust and oppressive,
and was wrong in principle and
should be wiped from \he state
books.
Upon the whole it was nno<>f thobest
and most practical political speeches
we have ever heard, and will never
fail to make votes with all classes of
people wherever it is heard.
THE KING’S MOUNTAIN.
| Hasty Notes Taken by a Repre
sentative at the Centennial Cel
ebration, Doings of the Im
mense Throng of
Patriots.
p orrospomlonce Nashville Banner.]
After my promise to write of
! King’s Mountain, I concluded that
| the telegraph would send yon the
pathetic side, hence my failure to
touch that may be expected.
I was weary from the journey of
our five hundred miles, and sleepy
too, when the crowded train stopped
at the battle ground station, five
miles from the mountain, without
haste to alight, I found the train
moving off and was reflecting upon
the gloomy outlook for quarters at
three o’clock in the morning, when a
passenger advised me to “jump.”
In compliance 1 was lucky to that
extent. But there I stood in well
worked dust, while a cold, brisk
wind reminded me of a “norther” in
Texas.
What a place, what a scene! It
seemed that I had been carried back
as many years as Rip Van Winkle
slept, the only change from the old
* ppearanoe of an army camp was an
attractive sign: “Lager beer and
sandwiches.” f lifted my feet from
the dust and reinserted them deeper
every step until among the bushes.
Having anticipated a lonely journey
I cordially invited some lady friends
to join me, but that intuition which
shows a woman the end from the be
ginning had been exercised, fortu
nately for them and me too.
The idea of “no water for three
days” impressed itself on me when I
found that I could not get coffee for
want of water* One old patriot from
the mountains was on hand at that
hour with “apples and chest 3 !”
The while blaze and black hinoke
from the pine-knot fires almost put
out the stars. Many an oldConfed.
was happy in a renewal of war rem
iniscences, and the flow of good hu
mor and valorous expression was not
hindered by the substitution of beer
for water.
One fellow was a “conducioron the
Richmond and Danville railroad,”
and didn’t ask any man any odds.
Another had gone there to
HURRAH FOR HANCOCK !
and his manner of endorsement was
so vehement as to arouse the vindi
cative feelings of another, who re
sponded in like manner —“Hurrah
for English !” My Hancock friend
had gone with carriage and wagon
fifty miles to accommodate car pas
sengers, and he was ready to go to
King’s Mountain with his team of
little mules at any time, and propos
ed to insure life against their run
ning away. He was a friend to count
ou, and when we arrived at his
quarters at the foot of the historic
mountain, he successfully resisted
my importunities against having
two men get up that I might lie
down, on their open air bed of blank
ets spread on the ground. I got a
seventy-five cent breakfast at the
“Centennial Hotel,” a structure built
of plunks. Wo had some kind of
meat, old style “gunger” bread and
cream —less coffee. Nevertheless it
was a good place to stop. I was out
of my own country as it were, and
with a commission from my Gov
ernor, and credentials as a member
of the Tennessee Historical Society,
I was entitled to a badge, and I was
tendered a special waiter at the ho
tel. My badge was neatly adjusted
by Bey. W. A, Nelson, a gentleman
well known and much loved in
Nashville and Tennessee. He had
not gone to the circus, but took Wil
lie “to see the animals.” This re
mark was not made at headquarters,
but at a point on our stroll where
the crowd had evidently substituted
beer for w T ater. Tnore were men
there, however, as well as animals.
Zeb Vance, whom the cultured fun
lovers and all alike admire, was on
hand. At many interims of the
programme ho was called for but
declined to speak, except to say a
few words after all other speakers
were through.
THE GREAT ANNIVERSARY.
Although I did not intend to write
so much and though these notes are
made while the Charlotte train darts
along its “air line” to Atlanta, I find
myself unwilling to conclude with
out some reference to the centennial
anniversary of the battle that may
be regarded as the most important
of the American revolution. The
assembling of twenty thousand
statesmen and patriots at a point re
mote from a railroad or even a hu
man habitation give evidence,
though a century had indeed elapsed
of the stirring patriotism of genera
tions as they pass on down time’s
restless current. Only one of the
children of those who participated
ia the battle was present. That was
a daughter ol Col. Hambright. She
was introduced to the great audience
by Col. Coward, the gallant chairman
of the executive committee. I ask
ed her age and she did n<T hesitate
to tell me, “eighty-three.” A friend
had present a copy of her father’s
bible, printed in 17G9. By the way
the relics sent from the Historical So
ciety of our own state of all present
were the most interesting.
Gov. Holliday, of Virginia, presi
ded. His address though brief, was
happily worded so that not the
slightest offense could be taken by
any citizen of the country. The po
em written by Paul 11. Ilayne was
delivered in excellent spirit by Chas.
C. Jones, of Augusta, Ga. It is use-
less for rae to attempt a synopsis of
the oration by Virginia’s gifted ora"
tor Hon. Jno. W. Daniel. I learned
to admire his eloquence as ho spoke
for Winfield S. Hancock in the Cin
cinnati convention, but it was un
necessary to be one of his ten thou
sand auditors the 7th of October, 1880
on the battle-field of King’s moun
tain that a thorough appreciation of
the great man may be had. Rev.
Dr. Wills ohaplain in the United
States army, himself a highly gifted
man, said on the occasion and to the
audience who had just heard it,
many of them standing motionless
for two hours. “The address will
bo read and admired after the moun
tain itself shall have crumbled
away.” I don’t kuow T who will
print it, but I advise my friends to
procure it. It is not only a history
of that battle, but of the American
revolution.
MONUMENT OF KINGS MOUNTAIN,
I was agreebly surprised on arriv
ingat the summit of the mountain,
to find that a splendid monument
had just been completed. It was
built by Mr. F. A. McNish, after
the plan chosen by Dr. J. M. Miller,
of Charlotte, who has taken great in
terest in it. North Carolina gave
5i,500, and South Carolina gave
SI,OOO of the $2,820, that it cost, and
the remainder was procured through
private subscriptions. It is expect
ed that congress will give $5,000 for
a bronze statue, to surmount it. • The
ideal “minute man” has been sug
gested as an appropriate figure. The
monument isofsplendid granite, the
first base is 18 feet square. The sec
ond G feet, the dio 4 feet 8 inches,
the shaft is 3 feet 7 inches at base and
the cap, 24 feet above ground, is
3 feet square. Four marble slabs on
the different sides are engraved as
follows;
“Ilero the tide of battle turned in
favor of the Americans,”
“Here on the 7th October A. D.
17S0 the British forces commanded j
by Col. Patrick Furgarson, were met l
and totally defeated by Campbell,
Shelby, Williams Cleveland, Sevier
and their heroic followers from Vir
ginia, the Carolinas and Tennessee.”
“In memory oftho patriotic Amer
icans who participated in the battle
of King’s Mountain. This monu
ment is erected by their grateful de
scendents.”
“Fell on this battle ground in de
fense of civil liberty. Col, James
Williams, Maj. William Chonicle,
Capt. John Mattocks, David Beatie,
Win. Edmunson ; First Lieutenants
—Reece Brown, Thos. McCul

terson, Preston Goforth.
The orator of the day paid the
higest tribute to Col. Campbell, acd
he was followed by an impressive ad
dress by our own Gen. Campbell, of
Jackson, Tennessee. Tennessee was
represented on the occasion by our
venerable citizen of Athens, and
Chattanooga by T. Nixon Vandyke,
who honored himself as well as his
state. Messrs. Summers and Dickson,
of Knoxville, the former of the 7W5-
une and the latter a grand-son of
“Ramsey, the historian,” as he was
quoted from with pride by the speak
ers. Then besides Gen. Campbell,
the accomplished Miss Nora Nixon
took the place of Miss Polk, who
could not be there to participate in
the unveiling of the statue.
The exercises weie concluded with
the long meter doxology, by bands
of music united with thousands of
voices, heard together for the last
time on the earth. C.
FROM THE NASHVILLE AMERICAN.
S. A. Cunningham, commissioned
by the Governor to attend the cele
bration of the battle of Lookout
Mountain, left last night, carrying
with him the sword of C 01. DuPuy
ster, who was a British officer under
Col. Fergurson, and succeeded to the
command of the troops if ter Furgur
son fell. It was presented to the
Tennessee Historical Society by Mr.
Edmiston, a member of whose fam
ily took DuPuyster to headquarters
after his capture, and to whom it
was then presented for his gallantry
in that battle. The donor died a
score of years ago in Davidson
county.
Mr. Cunningham also took with
him a red silk sash that was worn by
Col. Furgurson in the battle of
King’s Mountain. By common con
sent it was given to Col. Sevier’s
family, by whom it was retained un
til presented to the Tennessee His
torical Society by John Vertner Se
viere, now a resident of Louisiana.
Last but not least, Mr. Cunningham
has also the sword presented by the
state of North Carolina to Col. John
Sevier, for gallantry in the battle of
King’s Mountain. It was presented
to the Tennessee Historical Society,
many years ago, by BalentineSevier,
his direct descendent. Both swords
and the sash are well preserved.
It was not until Mr. Cunningham
read the story of the battle in yester
day’s American that he conceived the
idea of taking these relics to King’s
Mountain for exhibition. They will,
of course, be viewed there with great
interest.

“I was troubled for many years

as a man of 30, although I am 72,
and I have no doubt it will do as
well for others of my age. It is

—This is the way Mr. Moore, of
the Augusta Evening News consoles
himself: “The little olection held
on Wednesday has fanned out a reg
ular old time avalanche of votes and
Colquitt’s friends are claiming his
election by 50,000 majority. Well,
all this pounding of the atmosphere
iias brought the rain as well as the
thunder and if the people can stand
the political sensation we guess we
can manage to pull through too.”
Seuator Hill, of Georgia, recall
ed a fact which the republicans gen
erally, and Roscoe Conkling in par
ticular, do not seem able to compre->
hend. It is simply this: “There
existed at one time a south that ad
vocated rebellion aud slavery. That
south is dead. The south which
now exists is a believer in full liber
ty and in the union of these states.”

prostrated, distressed, desponding, I was ad
vised by Dr. Ayer, of Floyd county, Ga., to
commence the use ol your Compound Extract
Stillingia. Language is as insufficient to de
scribe the relief 1 obtained from the use of the
Stillingia as it is to convey an adequate idea of
the intensity oi my suffering befove using your
medicine; sufficient to say, 1 abandoned all
other remedies and continued the use of your
Extract 01 Stillingia, until I can say truly, “I
am cured of all disease, with nothing to od
struct the active pursuit of my profession.
More than eight months have elapsed since
this remarkable cure, without any return of
the discise.
For the truth of the above statement, I refer
to any gentleman in Bartow county, Ga., and
to the members of the oar of Cherokee Circuit,
who are acquainted with me. I shall ever re
main, with the deepest gratitude, Your obedi
ent servant,

A MIRACLE.
Gents:—My daughter was taken on the 25th
day ot June, 1803, with what was supposed to
be Acute Rheumatism, and was treated tor the
same with no success. In March, following,
pieces of hone began to work out of the right
arm, and continued to appear fill all the
bone from the elbow to the shoulder joint came
out. Many pieces of bone came out of the
right loot and leg. The case was the npro
nouncedone of White Swelling. After hav
ing been confined about six years to- her bed,
and the case considered hopeless, I was in
duced to try Dr. Pemberton's Compound Ex
tract of Stillingia, and was so well satisfied
with its effects that I have continued use of the
it until the present.
My daughter was confined to her bed about
six years before she sat up or even turned over
without help. She now sits up all day, and
sews most of her time—has walked across the
room. Her general health is now good, and I
believe she will, as her limbs gain strength,
walk well. I attribute her recovery, with the
blessing of God, to the use of your invaluable
medicine. With gratitude, I am, yours truly,
W. B. BLANTON.
