All through its later history the Demo-
cratic party has demonstrated tina, IL can
not be trusted; tina, just regard 10 the
public welfare requires that It should be
kept out OF power. The Republican party,
admitting all that its most severe critic can
bring up against il, is entitled TO the conf
dence Of the country. whose great interests
IT has served so faithfully In trying times OF
war and peace; and between which. and oil
revolutionary schemes, 1t will continue 10
stand like . wall of triple brass.
General Butler seems to think IL is

| Possible Mr.. Potter will realize the
extent TO which he has consolidated the
Republican party and divided his own,
when be reads: First. what the Republl.
can Convention OF Ohio to- day will make
the burden OF its platform second the vote
yesterday in the House Judiciary Commit
| Use upon the Blair memorial and kimmel
bill. II the Ohio Convention had met Q
little more than month ago, there would
undoubtedly have been q fierce wrangle
over the question OF approving the Presi-
dents policy. To-day the convention Is
expected to devote itself mainly to the
work OF denouncing the Democratic attack
on the Presidency. the question OF indorse-
ment sinking entirely out OF sight when
compared with that OF the Integrity Of a
Presidential election and Inauguration.
Where there would have been dissension,
there will be harmony. This Is VIVA: Mr..
Potter has done for the Republican party.
The vote Of the judiciary COMMITTEE was
eight TO one against the kimmel bill, and
against the right OF this Congress to undo
the acts Of its predecessor with respect to
the electoral count or TO shake In the slight
est degree the Presidents hold upon his
place. OF these eight votes, I've were
given BY Democrats; one Democrat. Proc
TOR Knott, dissented, and one was absent.
This Is what Mr.. Potter has done for the
Democratic party. Mr.. Potter is doing
better than any Republican had . right 70
expect.-N 7. Tribune.
