The democratic national con.

following platform of principles;
Mr. Watlereon, from Uie com¬
mittee on resolutions, reported the
following platform which was adop
ed unanimously :
The democntUi of the United
States in convention assembled,
declare—
First. We pledge ourselves to
'he constitutional doctrines and
radition of tlie democratic party
u illustrated by the teach mg and
ruunple of a long line of demo
rratic statesmen and patriots, and
mboded in the platfonii of the
ast national conveaUan of
•arty. '*
Second. Opposition to oentrali
itionaud to that doageesus spirit
•nooaehment wbioh tends to
nsolidate the pow«rt of nil the
^ortscents in one, and thus to
whatever be the form
a real despotism,
laws ; separation of
; common cchools fostered and
Third. Home rule, honest
*V the strict maintenance *f
the , pub ic • faith, conBisting ^ • «: of gold
silver, and paper convertible
into coin on demand; a strict
maintenance of the public faith,
an I national; ’ and a tariff
for revenue only.
Fourth. The subordination of
the militay to the civil power and
a general and thorough reform of
the civil service.
Fifth. The Tight to a free ballot
» tl.w right preservative of all H**
must and shah be maintained
in every one of the United States.
Sixth. The existing administra¬
tion is the representative of a con¬
spiracy only, and its claim of a
right to surroud the ballot boxes
with troops and deputy marshals,
to intimidate and obstruct elections,
and the veto to maintain its corrupt
and despotic power, insults the
people and imperils their institu¬
tion*.
Seventh. The great fraud of
1876-77, by which, upon a false
count of the electoriui votes, of
two States, the candidate de¬
feated at the polls was declared
to he president, and for the first
time in American history the will
of the people was set aside under
a threat of military violence, struck
a deadly blow at our system of
»*—«•" democratic party, to ..... pre«t “ L rve . Ti” the
country from civil war, submitted
for the time with lirrn and pa
iriotic faith, that the people would
punish this crime in 1.880. This
issue precedes and dwarfs every
other. It imposes a more sacred
duty upon the people of the union
than ever addressed the conscience
01 a nation of fr emeu.
VPe execrate the course
of this administration in making
the places in the civil service a
reward for political crime, and
deniaud a reform by statue, which
shall niilke it forever itojKMssihle
for the defeated candidate to bribe
bis way to the seat of a usurper by
billeting the villians U|»ii the
people. [This was read again in
resjainee to demands and was re¬
ceived with apphiuse.l
Ninth. 1 h« resolution of Samuel

respect of his fellow cituon«,
regard him as one »v!k», by elevat¬

gratitude of lits country and his

Tenth. Free ships and a living
