JUST HOW WE STAND.

June is almost at hand, and with it the
national convention of the reput lican party
ut Chicago. Strange to say, for the first
time since the republicans grssped the
reins of government, this heretofore great
ev ent in political history excites very little
interest. A man who is a. all familiar with
the history OF his own times can prPd'ca'e
the Platforms rei,erotion of some TOR
issues OF 1860, pman to protection, iaint,
very faint wave Of the gerry garment, and a
string of glittering gener ilities, connected
and compounded TO catch that most uncer-

pendent voter.
Little interest is manifested, in or out OF
the party, as to the republican presidential
candidate. 1t matters not who bears the
ba lner, if he only leads to the White
II ,use-and the spoils.
But with the democracy it is diff. rent.
Injured. to defeat, and accustomed to die
appointment as their portion, is 1t to be
wondered that the file of the party have
heretofore m arched to the polls with leader
feet, and deposited their ballots perfuIclo
ril,? In this campaign, however, the usual
order of things is reversed. II is to the
democratic convention that the eyes of the
nation are turned; 1t is their platform that
the voter wants to scan before making up
his mind; it is their nominee who will be
carefully weighed in the balance before be-.
ing cast aside for his republican colleague
And why? Truth compels us to answer.
