The Massachusetts Republicans have
nominated ticket and adopted platform.
The only notable features of the convention
were an irsanely incendiary and untruthful
speech by Senator Hoar, and an acknowl-
edgemnt in the platform that States have
some rights that the federal government is
bound to respect. The charge that the
Democratic party has undertaken to revive
sectional animosity for political ends is as
foolish as 1t is false in view of the stand
taken by Blaine, Conkling, Chandler, and
others of the stalwarts. Neither the ticket
nor the platform can be regarded as strong.

The apportionment in the call for the
Democratic State convention has been criti-
cised by some as not being in accordance
with the returns in the Legislative Manual.
There are some serious errors in the Manual
and it is not as reliable as the political al
manacs. There is the further fact that
owing to the biunder in the Secretary of
States blanks lastyear good many votes for
congressman were not returned. Where the
omission of these returns has been known
the counties have received credit therefor in
the apportionment. The table of delegates
as thoroughly revised appears elsewhere.

THE PLUNDERED MINNEAPOLIS
BANK.

BANK.
The failure to discover the deficiency in
the Minneapolis bank before it reached such
magnitude is surprising. The president and
directors must have neglected and utterly
failed to discharge their duties, otherwise
the peculation OF the assistant cashier would
have been discovered and the leakage stop
ped before almost financial ruin came upon
the stockholders. The usefulness of the
bank is at an end unless the officers and d.
rectors are replaced by others more COM
petent and more vigilant. If the same Off
GERS are to be continued it would be we'll to
go into liquidation at once, as there are few
mon foolhardy enough to risk their depos-
its with bank with such directors, whose
carelessness and criminal neglect have been
so prominently brought to light.
We regret to see that there are few St.
Paul stockholders who are among the
losers. Had they confined them-
selves to home banks thew
would. be better off to-day, but experience
teaches lessons derived from no other
sources. With reference to the defaulter, we
can see how this was brought about. At
first risking sum in wheat or stocks, and
losing, then doubling his venture to make
good bis loss, Hundreds soon reached thou
sands, and this would have gone on until the
last dollar of the concern had been lost, had
it not been for the timely arrival of the gov
eminent inspector, whose critical examination
detected and exposed the fraud.
While there seems to be no paliation for
such . crime yet it is the legitimate out
growth of the present sentiment of too many
of our young men to become rich suddenly
and without labor. Honesty is the best pol
icy, and there is no objection to being hon
eat from higher motives than policy. Hon
estly made money sticks to the maker, while
those who have corruptly amassed fortunes
generally live long enough to see their riches
take wings and fly away. Patience, honesty
and economy will secure to the young for
tunes, not LARGE, it may be, but fortunes that
bring peace and happiness to their possess-
ors.
