A prominent republican of Put

1884 they are taking lesson from
the democratic campaign of 1876,
and that all issues this year are sub
ordinate to the grand purpose of
beating the democracy.
If our opponents had learned a
little principle while initiating us
they might have followed our exam
pie In taking a conservative man in
stead of an extremist, they might
have made fight on real issues in
stead of rhetorical extravagances,
they might have adopted a platform
on which intelligent people could
stand without self-reproach, and they
need not have relied so entirely on
official soap had such a fight been
possible.

TOLERANCE IN POTITICS

Except in the most general terms
it is impossible to express in any in
sturment an opinion in which one
thousand men would agree. Yet
with our system of government the
preference of the masses can find no
adequate expression except by asso
citation in parties. The partizan
platform can find its parallel only in
the constitution which binds togeth-
err the separate branches of a gov
eminent, and the doings of such an
association should be viewed with
all the charity which usually colors
the glasses through which we follow
the direction of our national affairs.
Yet when private prejudice is adj
ded TO the motives which prompt
disagreement with the decisions of
our conventions, it is a matter of
surprise that any attraction should
befound strong enough to withstand
the disorderly forces always seeking
the dismemberment of parties. Or
ganization is necessary to enforce
government, and this is impossible
without loyalty to party, but we
must likewise remember that those
associations have often threatened
Generalization to good government
and may do so again. Therefore
the most valuable clement in our po-
litical life is the intelligent citizen
who thinks for himself and vet is
most careful in exercising the inher.
ent rights of the independent
voter, one who knows when to
