Com ments or the Eastern Press
ON the Republican Platform.
New YORK, June THE Times does
not conceal its chagrin. 1t dtnouncts
the Republican platform as ridiculous,
tedious stuff. The Herald calls it
queer, demagogical production and says
it bids for the votes of California hood
lums, approving anti Chinese laws and
basely volunteering the support Of the
party to more legislation Of the same
sort. The World, Sun and other or.
gans ind no such objections but rather
seek to demolish its pretensions by be.
littling the party practices. The 1ri-
bune says Of the platform; On the whole
it is declaration of principles which as.
suredly accord with the tenor of public
opinion. 1t is progressive aud yet not
so for in advaic, OF the times as to
lose the public support. 1t fairly repre-
sents the present attitude of the only
progressive party in the country.
The Philadelphia Times is thoroughly
displeased with the platform and calls it
tue most extraordinary combination Of
meaningless platitudes and rank dema-
gogy with which any respectable party
ever entered national campaign.
The Philadelphia Press family praises
it as whole and thinksita q comprehens We
statement of the position Of the Repub-
lican rarty on the live issues now before
the country. IEsays that the restora.
tion of the duty on wool is promised
and the silver question is CLOSED over
