rsper-rpon the political sltua-
ton THE political storm,
which visits us with more or less
severity every four years, and IN
which many political aspirants
founder and 90 down in fe
whirlpool of excitement, has
passed, and each political party
can view the battlefield in the
calm which is snre to follow, pick
ND their dead and wounded and
marshal their legions for the COM
ing conflict in the fall.
Viewed from an independent
standpoint there is but little
choice between the men who have
been nominated, both can claim
the support Of every American
Citizen irrespective OF party
affiliations, and very little il
anything can be said against
either the political Or private
record Of either candidate. Both
are Northern men, both are
Union men and both are yansee.
With but two exceptions the
Democratic platform is a very
clear and terse enunciation Of tho
principles Of the Republican
party.
The Republican platform tim
idly commends a moderate pro
lection Of American industry
the Democratic platform terse|,
demands "a tariff for revenue
only"
AS the Republican platform
endorses Mr.. Hays's Admin;stra
ton, which is justly condemne'
by every honest Republican i

Of Gen. Garfield means a soil
North against a solid South, th
Republicans South might as we
