lection of Malone, with the same stereotyped
phrase. They viewed with alarm the issue OF
legal-tender notes, and they viewed with still
greater alarm their proposed withdrawal; they
viewed with alarm the disappearance OF com,
and with still greater alarm the measures
for its temperance they viewed with alarm
the Republican policy which made the South
solid and they view with alarm that rises to
panic the policy that divides it they viewed
with alarm the continuance OF the senate
subordinates in Office two years ago. aad they
view with alarm now the proposition To
change them they viewed with alarm the
depression in business few years ago, and
they view with alarm the present prosperity.
The first thing done by the scribe of Com
mittee on Resolutions at q Democratic Con-
ventIon Is to sit down and begin: " Resolved,
that we view with alarm" Then tn
hewers of resolutions and drawers of brandy
and-water bring in their different causes of
alarm. the scribe complies them, and that con-
stitutes the first resolution The standard
scarecrow is "the tendency to Capitalization"
The scribe is usually safe in putting this in
at the start: Resolved. that we view with
81 alarm the increasing tendency to centraliza-
"ton." Then follow the consolidation OF capital
the growth of mOnOpOies, the prevalence OF
standing armies the sharpness OF the bayOnet,
the rigOr of election laws, the wicked DISPOSE
ton of people holding Offices to continue to
hold them, the iniquities OF the banking sys-
TEN, the rapacity of the money power, the
unhealthy stimulation of trade and the de-
moralizing influence of the crops. Sometimes
they vary the programme a little by "deplor-
ing" Instead of viewing things with alarm
they "dcplore." II is all the same SO long as
they are unhappy. We hardly know
when they have viewed anything or anybody
with so much alarm as they recently have
Malone. 1t being an of year, and they sup
posing that Malone was going 10 vote with
them, though, OF course, they did view pretty
much everything with alarm, they were not
saving much about it. But so soon as th"y
found he was gong to contamnatc the Re-
pubhcans 10y voting with them, they broke out.
For a full month they have lcen giving their
entire time to viewing the effect of this al
lance with alarm. The outbreak itself Is not
remarkable, but il is unusually lively for the
season.
Ii is a great comfort. however. 70 know
that the energies Of the whole party are not
devoted exclusively To viewing Malone with
alarm. The stercotypcd causes for alarm are
not overlooked. There are days-noiably the
