REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
Number Two rs supplementary of
Number One.

When the Republicans of Nevada met,
April 80, 1884, they adopted 8 platform;
but on the 4th inst. they met again in con-
vention and adopted another. They for
mally stereotype Messrs. Blaine and Logan
with conventional praise. They say, also,
they mean reform when they say 80. They
are not vague or unspeciic when they say
State and county taxes should be reduced.
Yet they fail to be specific, except 10 say
that the number OF legislators ought TO be
reduced. This everybody thinks and needs
not be referred to the platform OF the Re-
publican party. To be still more specific,
we will say that the people will be better
pleased If the sessions Of that august body
| should be placed indefinitely apart and
| never BIO oftener than once in 20 years.
The Carson platform declares for amend
| ment to the State Constitution started in
the Legislature. This is not the correct
or popular idea. The idea Is neither Re-
publican nor Democratic, but was i'm
posed on the mass Of Thursdays conven-
ton by some windy fellow, perhaps, who
had been varying the fancy beforehand,
and whom no delegate cared to resist
rather than let alone TO run his groove.
The only way to get the proper talent to
work on constitutional amendments Is In q
Constitutional Convention composed OF
men chosen by the people for that purpose
and having special fitness for such work.
Everybody knows the Legislature OF Ne
vada, at least, Is not lit for such work.
Aud then as to expense, a Constitutional
Convention may be made very inexpen-
sive. Elect ten men or even five TO re-
wise our present fundamental law. These
will do il quicker, and better, and cheaper
than fifty. The Republican Senator from
Eureka holds this view, which shows that
be ought to have been heard in Carson
| when they were tim up their plat
form so unsubstsntially.

The Republican Banner.

Our friends OF the Grand Old Party un-
furled tb cir banner to the breeze yester-
day. 1t swings from the Parker House
(Hinckley q Lockwood, excellent hosts)
across to the Foley-RickArd building. 1t
ia a network structure about IL feet long
by about 10 feet deep. or course. the
faces OF Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Logan are
conspicuous. The visage of the former Is
acceptable-all but the nose. They called
him ''Nosey'' when he was q lad, and we
can Judge by the picture why the other
bows called him by that nasal appellation.
Barring his nose, Mr.. Blaine has a great
face-one OF power and rich in emotion
and pleasant to contemplate. The physi-
ognomists lay much stress upon the nose
as indicative Of character and fortune.
The Roman, or aquiline nose, is the index
Of conquest. Cleveland has the eagle
nasal. What a pity that Blaine lin case
there should be slip and he should become
Chief Magistrate) should falsify physiogno-
NV and sit for the nation so conspicuous, on
account of a nose not much unlike a
butchers fist. As for Cleveland, his nose
ia good, but il he combined the other
f~eatures of Blaine with that fine nose he
would be able to inspire us Democrats TO
even a greater pitch of enthusiasm. But
how can any party of humans tolerate that
man Logan. He looks indefinitely horri-
ble-not unlike what might be a cross be-
tween the California lion and a Choctaw
Indian. No wonder he cannot speak En-
elish. 1t ought not to be expected Of him.
What a contrast with the face OF Hen
bricks is that of Black Jack! Ex-Vice
President Hendricks is the ideal in ex
preston OF all that is true, beautiful and
good in the Greco-Roman mold OF coun.
tensnce. We congratulate our friends OF
the opposition of having been the first to
air their candidates in public view.

ing Section 3 OF Article H., it may not be

Senate resolution says: And also the

lion ssys: "And also the 500, 600 acres of
land granted to the new States under Act
dOOngrsss, etc., approved A. d. eighteen
hundred and fo~rty-one." Which Is correct
-lAs or 1871 2 The records Of Congress

The Divorce Suit OF Coffin v
Coffin.

The Divorce Suit OF Coffin W..
The upper circles at the Capital Of the
State are intensely excited over promised
developments in the suit for divorce COM
menced by United States District Attorney
Trenmor N. Coffin against Helen T. Coffin,
his wife, whom he accuses of committing
adultery with a noted lawyer of Carson
and a prominent sporting man, as well as
others, too numerous to mention.
The lady in question was got by our
Honorable United States District Attorney
through a divorce suit on her behalf and
against her first husbsnd-Trenmor Coffin,
said functionary, being her second hus-
band. He got the divorce for her in Sscra-
mento and then married her. The charge
of adultery ia promiscuous and is likely to
exhilsrste Carson society much. The lady,
SO to speak, the law presuming innocence
until the contrary Ia proved, is q
dashing figure. You couldn't blame
Blaine or Cleveland for getting into
trouble in that quarter. Straight as an
arrow, graceful and curved to the point OF
ecstacy, and, withsl, Q blonde, hair white.
in fact, aud complexion pink and white.
But this is q family journal strictly (csn-
didates charged $40 cash in advance for
announcements), hence we refrain. The
thing has been brewing for q long time,
with divorce as the only issue.

Wonderful Shooting-Ten Men Av'

The Carson Tribune says the rifle shoot
ing done at the Carson Guard range Sun
day, the occasion being the third competi-
ton for places in the Interstate team,
eclipses anything ever recorded in the
United States. The shooting is consid-
cred all the more remarkable from the fact
that all were first scores. The best 10
made 905, an average for each OF 90H,
while the entire 10 taking part made the
remarkable average OF 81 1919. Ten men
from one co~mpany-the Carson Guard

made by the Nevada team last year IN the
Interstate match by three points.
