A PROTECTION CHALLENGE TO THE DEMO
Gratis.
NEW YORK, June eth. s. Moore the
well-known writer on tariff matters, being
asked how he regarded. the tariff plank in
the Republican platform, said: It is un-
reserVedly a protection challenge 10 the
Democratic party. l feel very glad that
this issue is now Squarely made The
Democrats certainly cannot shuttle under
this challenge. They will either have to
copy such protection in q doc:rinal yacil-
iating way, or take up the glove III chiv-
alrous manner. ! think the country is
perfectly ripe for this great battle
NEWSPAPER VIEWS.
New York, June 6th.-The Times saws
The Republican voter this year viii inspect
his candidate with coldy critical eve.
Not the Republican voter who shouts ont,
We want our Jim of Maine" nor he who
pants to brand - all others not of his
mind, for such never think and have no
eyes, but the Republican voter whose de-
cision makes wide difference between the
majority and minority, between success
and failure-those voters, depend upon it,
will not support James G. Blaine. Honest
and independent newspapers, whose opin-
ions are worth needing, and are needed,
will moi support lnm. The American peo-
pie will not support him, for the great ma
jority believe he is unworthy to be Presi-
dent of the United States, and his own acts
and words Justify their belief He is a
shallow, small American. We have 10000
men who would make better, safer Presi-
dents than he.
The Times then proceeds to give popu-
lar candidates name, one that was not
mentioned al the Convention, namely,
Robert T. Lincoln.
NEW YORK, June 6th.-The Times does
not conceal its chagrin, and declares that
the contest at Chicago is the life or death
struggle of the Republican party. 1t de-
nounces the platform as ridiculous, tedious
stuff.
The Herald also calls it a demagogical
production. and says it bids for the votes OF
the California hoodlums by approving the
anti-Chinese laws, and basely volunteering
the support of the party TO more legislation
OF the same sort.
The Democratic World, IStu, and other
organs find no such objections, but rather
seek to demolish its pretensions by belittle-
ing the party practices.
The San forecasts the disappointment OF
the Independent Republicans al Chicago
by making a bid for their subscriptions.
1t says: There are special reasons why
Republicans who are not case-hardened in
iniquity should read the Sans history OF
the campaign just opening. We shall pay
particular attention to their moral and in
tellectual requirements"
The Tribune says of the platform: ION
the whole it is declaration of principles
which assuredly accords with the tenor OF
public opinion progressive, but not so far
in advance of the times as to lose public
support 1t fairly. represents the present
attitude of the only progressive party in
the country
PHILADELPHIA, June 6th.-The Times is
thoroughly displeased with the platform.
1t calls it the most extraordinary combina-
ton vi meaningless platitudes and rank
demagogy with which any respectable
party ever entered national campaign.
The Post family praises it as a whole
thinks it is a comprehensive statement OF
the position of the Republican party on the
live issues now before the country, and
says the restoration of the duty on wool is
promised and the silver question CLOSED
over out of Difference, no doubt to the
prejudices of the Colorado and Pacific
coast delegates.
