he cent through the chief, shall be paid by the

His whole SOULS devoted to the cause
of education, and he would bring into
the office of Superintendent a ripe
experience that would be of vast ser.
vice to the educational interests of
the State. In 1868, Mr.. Whitford
represented his district with much
ability in the Assembly, He is a
forcible speaker, clear and convinc-
ing, The office OF Estate Superinten-
dent has been filled by many able

There is q rumor current to the
effect that professor Whitford, Re
publican Candidate for State Super
tondcnt Of schools, is in sympathy
with text book scheme presented to
the Legislature last winter by the
Madison printers. We believe there
is no foundation for this rumor, as
many Of those who supported Mr..

be strongly a~ntagonistic to that
scheme. Should it, however, develop
that we are deceived, the TRIBUNE
will promptly inform its readers,

TIE PLATFORM.

Had we the construction Of the
platform adopted by the Republican
convention last week, it would have
been different though probably no
better.
The Southern policy plank we
shou dhave curtailed one-half while
retaining the spirit thereof, to.wit:
that as ar experiment to which cir
cumstances rendered resort necessa-
ry,itshould be fairly tested, and faith
ullysustained bytheRepublican par
ty. Iffound Intellectual to accomplish
the good honestly sought, as was
the case with the policy in vogue
during Grants administration, it
should be abandoned as was that,for
some other.
The plank on civil service, we
should have made to terminate with
the first sentence, thus: "That the
DISCRIMINATION of the National Exec
"utiYo to make the civil service more
efficient, and less liable to obnox-
"ious criticism, meets our approval"
The financial plank, though bung-
lingly worded, is in the right spirit.
That part which says that silver
should be made legal tender for all
debts, except where othersrise distinct
IL proUj6cd By lar, would have been
more lucid, and 'less liable to OBJ
noxious criticism" had it read tex
cept for interest on the natiopaldebt,
which IS stipuiatedt0 b paidi 1" g0ld."
The other planks, though of i'm
portance, are not likely to be in issue,
as all parties will practically agree
upon them in the main. The plat
form entire will be found in another
part of this paper.
