The Political Turmoil.

The two great parties have held
their national conventions construct
ed their platforms, and put their cam
didates for President in the field. The
contest will now 90 on with vary
ing fortunes until election dav, the
first Tuesday after the first Mon
day in November (4th). The inter-
est taken in elections in this coun-
try is in every respect wholesome.
Some bad blood may be generated by
the strife of partlsans, but after all
political discussions arc an cduca-
tlon to the mass of the communi-
ty. They teach our people lessons of
self-government and self-restraint.
Whenever Americans care for 9TH
CT matters more than the conflicts of
parties-when they refuse TO vote
then will come the downfall of the
Republic. There is a current illusion
that the political agitation of Prcsi-
dental years is hurtful to business,
but ii seems this is not true. Trade
statistics show that, on the whole,
our great national contests stimulate
transactions in trade. 1t is, however
quite true that the thcaters and
places of amusement in large cities
are not so well patronizcd while the
canvass is being actively prosecuted.
