WEsToN's WALK AGAINST TIME Time WINS
The match for E. p. Weston to walk so miles
in eleven hours came off on SATURDAY. at For
est City Driving Park. Weston CONNIE need his
walk at five minutes past o'clock in the morn
ing, and after walking four hours was twenty.
five minutes ahead of time Afterwards he fell
off little, but seemed confident he should win
and, indeed, such was the appearance of the
pedestrian that those present, OR the large ma
jority of them, were of opinion that he would
do it, especially after he had made As miles
and had an hour and five minutes in which tc
perform the remaining five miles.
He performed the so miles, but was six min
utes and a half behind time. The distance
was accomplished in eleven hours six and q
half minutes, and his hacker has thus lost
This is pretty tall walking, to say the least Of
it. A horse could not easily perform that dis
lance in the same time. Weston says it was
by his own indscre ton that he lost the race
in eating quantity of crackers for his dinner
from the effect of which he did not get over
until he had walked twenty miles. He APP
peared as bright and fresh after the walk as he
did in the morning.
There were but few people present on the
course in the forenoon. But in the afternoon
and as the time for the completion of the walk
approached, there was a very large number
present. There was no betting of any conse-
quence that we learn of. The only bet that we
have heard of was one of 800, offered about 5
o'clock, that Weston would do it, which was
Immediately taken up. Weston thinks the
track is more than half mile in length, and
it is to be accurately measured.
MIR. Weston was present at the Tom Thumb
levee in City Hall Saturday evening, and being
called upon for speech, said that he should
have succeeded in accomplishing his fifty miles
in eleven hours had it had not been for piece
of folly of which he was guilty on the 44th
mile. The exact nature of the folly was not
very clearly stated. Mr.. Weston said, how
ever, that if the citizens of Portland would
make up purse of $3.50, he would stake the
same sum that he could accomplish the feat
attempted on Saturday; if. he succeeded he
would give the stakes to the poor of the city,
and if he failed he would give 5000 for the
same purpose. He made the additional state
ment that if it should prove upon an accurate
measurement of the track over which he
walked Saturday that it is more than half a
milf, and that he actually accomplished what
he undertook, he would give $500 to the poor
OF the city. We are not of those who believe
that "the poor of the city" have any reason to
allow pleasant anticipations to be excited by
Weston's propositions

The obstacles in the way of Republican sue
cess in the Presidential election are acknowl-
edged on all hands to be reduced to a mini
mum. When on one side there is 4 declara-
ton of principles that are Enthusiastically right,
aud on the other a declaration of principles
that are clearly wrong, an issue is made up
for the action of the people which in civil
lied community can be decided only in one
way.
The pleasant nature ofthe prospect is cloud
ed in only one respect, and that most sngu-
lar one. There is no reason for ignoring the
fact that certain prominent Republicans have
left the platform of their own party, and taken
their stand upon that of the Democracy. so
far as financial questions are concerned. This
is most lamentable and would ultimately
work great injury to the Republican cause
were it not that the passage of a funding bill
Is likely to render unimportant the question
of the currency in which the debt shall be
paid.
This is the one question on which the great
est catholicity of feeling will not endure
difference of opinion. Its aspect as question
of right and wrong is clearly and sharply de-
fined. Senates cannot change the axioms of
morals. individuals, however eminent, can
not make even plausible excuses for breach
public faith. The government promised to
pay six per cent. interest on the five-twenties
1t promised through its authorized agents and
by failing to intimate any departure from its
immemorial usage TO pay the principal in
gold. The Chicago platform, by the unani-
nous assent of the Convention, declares that
the bonds must be paid in accordance not only
with their letter but with their spirit The
man who does not abide by that platform
lacks both courage and political sagacity The
strength righteous principle gives to party
is worth more in yotes-if one chooses to take
that view OF the question-than can be gained
by pandering to the baser instincts of the
hordes of rascaldom.
This being the case it is simply exasperating
to see the very strongest of the Republican
resolutions utterly repudiated by Representa-
tive from Massachusetts, one from Pennsylva-
mia, one from Maine and several Western
members of Congress. t "A
1t is no use to compete with Democracy in
the direction of political immortality, for they
are on their own ground Whoever supposes
that the ground of right and Justice and pub
lie faith is not stronger and better, has less
faith than we have in humanity.
