The Republican Platform.

Every reader should carefully

page of this issue. 1t touches every
subject of general interest, and ex-
preston on each is so clear that
none can misread 1t is positive in
opposition to the democratic free
trade theory disguised under the
cloak of "tariff for revenue only
1t pledges the party to correct the
inequalities of present tariff laws,
and to reduce the revenue to the
needs of the government, in such
way as to relieve the tax payer
without injuring the laborer or the
industrial interests of the country;
but not by the vicious democratic
method of "horizontal reduction.

correct remaining defects in our

senate chamber, which was attended
by many spectators, and a general
discussion was had upon the sub
iect of the July convention.
Gov Rusk says: "The nomina-
ton of Blaine is good. There is
no question but that he is far the
most popular man for the presidency,
with the majority of Republican
voters, that can be found in the
country. [ believe he will attract a
great many Irish-American votes.
Logan is, of course, strong candi-
date ] would not want to say'pos
itively that his selection was alto
gether the best which could have
been made, for there are number
of men in the country who would
doubtless make an equally good run
with him. He is strong, though,
very strong, and lends material
strength to the ticket"
Gen. Fairchild appears to be thor
oughly satisfied, and, to quote his
language, says: "Am | not pleased
with the nomination of Blaine? OF
course | am. He has been my
earnest, sincere choice from the
first. How could | feel differently,
since | was minister to the court
of Madrid under him? All! he
will make a noble run, and
will go in with the utmost ease.
The general spoke freely on the SUBJ
ject of the vice-pI esidency, and is
gratified at the formation of such an
excellent ticket by the convention.
Although his throat is in bad condi.
ton, he said that il would never be
so sore but that he could speak for
Blaine, and that he would certainly
make brief address at the Blaine
mass meeting this evening.
Maj. +. NJ. Oakley, United States
marshal for this district, says that
the campaign will be an aggressive
one, but that he has more hope of
Republican victory than at any time
since 1868.

ised. The eight-hour law for labor
ers is approved, and the establish
ment of a national bureau of labor
recommended. A vigorous foreign
policy is promised, in accordance
with the "Monroe Doctrine" For
restoration of the American navy
and shipping interests the demand
is clear and imperative. In the in
terest of the soldier element the
party stands pledged to a repeal of
the limitation clause of the arrears
act, and more liberal interpreta-
ton Of the pension laws. The cleo
ton frauds and abuses practiced in
the south are fttingly condemned;
the democratic party is scathingly
therefor, and vigorous
effort for their correction is guar
lnteed.

Blaine and Logan.

The national republican conven-
ton did not take the TRIBUNEs adj
vice and nominate General Sherman,
because the old hero signified that
he did not want it done. But for
his refusal to allow the use of his
name VIM. r. Sherman would in all
probability have been nominated.
This it is gratifying to know, as 1t
sustains the wisdom of the TRIBUNE
in advocating him. The convention
thus having shown its respect for
the Judgment of the TRIBUNE! we
are glad to be able to return the
compliment, by most cordially en-
dorsing its nomination of James G.
Blaine, as the very best possible
after our favorite's declinatiOn.
After witnessing the enthusiasm
for Blaine among the thousands at
Chicago, representing all the states
from Maine to California, no one
can question that he holds first place
in the hearts of large majority of
the republican party, and that he
will be triumphantly elected.
Contrary to general expectation,
Lincoln is not named for Vice-Pres-
ident, but instead we have that in
trepid soldier, and courageous states
man, John A. Logan. Lincoln sig
rifed that he preferred not to be
nominated if the interests of the
country and party could be other
wise as well conserved. Therefore
by common consent Logan was
chosen, and thus we have on our
ticket the names Of two such emf
nent Americans as have seldom if
ever adorned the ticket of any party
in the history of America.
Blaine and Logan, are names fa-
miliar in every American household.
For quarter of a century they have
both been prominently before the
public. In those years they have
been subjected to the severest scru-
tiny and the yilest calumny.
Through all which they come un.
scathed, and retaining the conf
dence and admiration of the people
to a degree rarely equalled. We
have space for only brief outlines
of the brilliant career of each at
this time, which will be found on
another page, and even for that there
is little necessity, for tribune read
ers need not be told what manner of
mer are James G.. Blaine and John
A. Logan, or what has been their
career.

Similarity OF Names.

One of the odd things in great city
is the mum Der of people who have SINH
lar names, from which amusing and
often annoying experience are apt to
result. To say nothing of John Smith,
when one John Brown or VIM. Robin
son gets married, dozen Of other John
Browns or VIM. Robinsons receive let
tiers of congratulalion, and if one of the
name applies for divorce, all the So
cial circles of all the others wonder il
the applicant is the man they know.
This is the time the wives of such
gentlemen receive numerous calls from
their friends, all of whom think, of
course. it could not possibly be their
acquaintance, but that they will feel
more comfortable if they 90 and see
about it. 1t may even happen that
Verv prominent citizen who never took
a pin from any one, or could bring
himself to kill a fly, takes up his
morning newspaper, and reads his own
name as one associated with burglary
or suspected murder, and it may be
assumed that that paragraph would
make him feel decidedly uncomfort-
able. Then it is he realizes what is in
a name, and thinks he would prefer the
perfume OF the felony TO be attached TO
some other than his own.

That the Republicans, chance of
carrying Indiana is better than the
Democrats, is not seriously disput-
ed by any one. Add the vote of
that state to the above column, and
we have 203, or two more than
majority. Then remember, no claim
is here made for Florida, New Jer-
sey, or West Virginia, having to-
gether ! 8 electoral votes, of which
the republican nominees are more
likely to obtain portion, than to
fail in securing any of those above
claimed. One of the most promi-
nent and intelligent democrats of the
state admitted in public converse
ton, since Blaine's nomination, that
Florida and West Virginia would
doubtless be carried by the republi-
cans this year, and that the demo-
Gratis have not the least hope of car
rying any one of the Pacific states.
Then their only hope rests upon
their slim chance of carrying Indi-
ana as well rs New York. The loss
of either will be fatal to them.

THEY WILL BE ELECTED.

The TRIBUNE was among those
who doubted the propriety of nom
mating Blaine, because of a fear
that he could not carry New York,
and. the belief that without the SO
electoral votes of the empire state
there was but little hope of republi-
can success. No one entertaining
such views could however maintain
them against the contrary evidence
presented at Chicago. That Mr..
Blaine will receive the electoral vote
of New York we now regard as
highly probable, and that he will be
elected, whether the votes of that
state be for or against him, there
remains no room to doubt. Reason
able democrats concede that Blaine
and Logan will carry the following
states, and receive their electoral
votes:
