THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVEN.
TION

At last the democracy, with Perry
at its head, promises to give us a
constitutional convention. 1t is one
of the prime needs of the state; in
a party sense, it is a vital necessity.
Any other action at Pensacola
would have stultified the party of
progress, reversed our time-honored
traditions, and made the nomination
of Perry void of meaning. Now,
we present to the people pure man,
who will be a strong candidate, and
we place him on a platform of JUS
tice to all citizens and refOr'n of all
abuses. If the people do not elect
Perry, it will be for the reason that
they are as yet ignorant of their
true interests; if they determine to
keep our rotten constitution, they
will be convicted of preferring dark
ness to light. If they again give
power to the republicans, they will
prove themselves fully deserving of
what they certainly will receive.
The News fought for Perry be.
cause he was the strongest and best
man in the party; it first among its
brethren declared for a constitu-
tional convention, in the interest OF
the whole state. 1t is immeasura
bly, content.

The struggle for the nomination

The struggle for the nomination
at the Chicago convention is con-
vulsing the nation. 1t is conceded
that the main issue will be decided
by the preference of New York.
The vital question is how that pref
erence is to be expressed. Do the
people of the Empire State think
with John Kelly? We have already
published a strong letter from the
Hon. ?. p. Bishop, written from
the headquarters at Saratoga, and
our private advices assure us that
the Cleveland men have a decided
majority in the delegation to Chi
cago. At least, the real leader of
the Cleveland forces, who is also i'll
the confidence of H. B. Payne, is
sanguine as to the result; but in
this crisis, as Mr.. Bishop says, eve
must keep our heads level, and see
that our feelings do not run away
with our discretion"

CLEVELAND.

1t is evident, as we said some days
ago, that the professional wire-pull-
ers of New York are opposed to the
nomination of Governor Cleveland.
He is only the favorite of the masses;
the millions demand his leadership
in trumpet tones, but the few OPP
pose it. Whatever their motives,
these are of no interest to us. The
strength of the democratic party is
in its ready obedience to the will of
the people. The popular voice is
uplifted in favor of Cleveland be-
cause he is the fullest antithesis to
Blaine. The people will refuse to
endorse a candidate for his "availa-
bility." Those who insist on the
selection of one who "has 10 enc
mics" will realize too late that a
crisis is upon us, and that the mil
lions will insist on taking a hand in
the government in 1885. The party
must be true to itself and It's tradi-
tions if it would live. The indie
pendent movement is abroad in the
land, and will attain it's majority
very quickly if we fail to grasp the
meaning of the situation. The re-
volt against Blaine means a triumph
to the democracy if we nominate
Cleveland; otherwise it will quickly
crystalline into a third party, which
will prove youthful David of holy
wrath to both the giant organiza-
lions daring to scorn the wishes of
their master. The men who have
gone into protesting organizations
IN many states only wait for the
nomination at Chicago. To them
will drift all those whose support
could decide the battle in favor of a
democratic nominee. Despair will
give them democratic votes and dis
gust will give them republican states
till the infant is suddenly found
fully armed and dealing stout blows
on the armor of the giant. And
the David will prevail, and he will
wax great in the land till his form
fills even the borders thereof for
his cause will be that of liberty and
Justice if he fails to secure these
under the old rulers.
The people will recognize weak

The able article on Tammany, re-
published from the Chicago Trib
une, will serve to correct numerous
errors in relation to that famous or
ganization. Especially are many at
fault as to the character of John
Kelly. In the city of New York
his honesty is proverbial, his ability
unquestioned, and his social refine
ment and education patent to all
who know him. Those who form
their ideas of him from the illustra-
ted papers would find it impossible
to account for the fact that such a
man can make a President of the
United States. His position with
us to-day can only be paralleled in
history by that of Warwick during
the feuds of the Roses. The value
of the article will apologize for its
length.

TIE PHILADELPHIA TIMES, 1894.
The TIMES will enter upon the new year

terccly criticized, with more complete or

in the past.
THE TIMES has no party to follow, no candi-
dates to advance, but will meet every issue,
it has ever done, with consistent devotion to
the right, to honest government, and the pub
lie welfare. And, while maintaining its posi-
ton as the leading journal of Philadelphia it
will aim to be continually in the advance in all
that can add value to a newspaper.
The value of a newspaper is not in its size or
display, but in the intelligence and care, the
conciseness and freshness with which il il
edited. THE TIMES spends lavishlY for news
from all parts of the world, but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed, in
order to give the complete news Of the day i'm
the most concise and attractive shape, and with
it a large variety of entertaining and instruc-
tive reading. The best writers at home and
abroad are employed to enrich its columns

The WEEKLY TIMES is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers of twenty years
ago The day OF those papers have gone by.
The telegraph and better local newspapers
everywhere, especially in the thriving centres
of rural population, have made the old weekly
metropolitan newspaper unsatisfying. Those
that cling to their ancient usages have lost
their hold on our fOrward-moving people; they
are but shadows of their former greatness, and
they have but a shadow of their former power
Those papers have had their usefulness, but it

was not the fault of the papers; IL was the i'm
prOvement of the country that brought about
the change. Men and women. wherever they

Blaine Will Mako Things Hum.


Philadelphia Times.
james G. Blaine is Just the sort of a
presidential candidate to make things
hum. He is able amongst the ablest; he
is brilliant beyond the average of brilliant
public men; he is keener in perception
than any of his party rivals; he is a candi-
date only to win, if vast political resour-
Ces and desperate effort can reach the
winning post, and he will make things
hum generallyfrom Maine to California as
soon as the battle opens.
Blaine is the tittest. the ablest and the
best representative of the dominant re-
publicanism of to-day. As he now pre-
SCENTS himself to the American people he
could not have led the republicans of 18-
60 or 1864, or even of 1868; but the degen-
errcy of war; debauchery of protracted
party power; the degradation of eight
years of Grantism; the dry-rot of four
years of fraud-bOrn imbecilitv under
Hayes, and the Omnipotepce of public
crime over government and law as exhibit
ed under present party rule, and as boast
full of its victory at Chicago, all tell of the
dominant republican sentiment of to-
day,

warm from the heart of the masses,
and gives voice to the thought
which makes the great issue of the

independence from England and en-

Rev. A. G. Barry, from Lodi, Wis,
preached in the Methodist church in
this city last Sunday afternoon to a
good and appreciatiye audience. Rev.
Barry will preach again in the same
church next Sunday at o'clock P. M.
In his sermon he will give his reeol-
lections Of some of the early citizen 8
of Kenosha who did worthy service
for humanity, and now passed away.
Rev. Mr.. Barry, being one of the
early settlers in Wisconsin, and hav.'
ing filled important positions in this
state, a brief outline is given. He
came to Wisconsin in 1843, and located
in Racine, where he remained twenty
five years as pastor of the Universalist
church in that place. He afterwards
resided at Oshkosh, in this state. He
served three years as State Superin-
tendent of Schools; he also served as
a member Of the state legislature in
10 He also held the position Of
Assistant State Geologist under James
G. Percival, the poet and eminent
geologist. On the breaking out of the
war of the rebellion Rev. Barry did
patriotic service in Wisconsin in the
encouraging of enlistments. His elo-
quent appeals for the Union in many
towns and cities, told with much effect
in raising volunteers. In one Of his
thrilling speeches in this city he said
that as he was accounted Universal
list. it was supposed he did not believe
there was hell. Mr.. Barry declared !:
Il do now believe in a hell, for if
there were none, there would be no
adequate place to punish rebels now
engaged in the attempt to destroy The
best government on EARTH" Mr.. Bar
ry went into the army as chaplain in
1851.
The foregoing is an imperfect sketch
Of Rev. Mr.. Barry's public career in
Wisconsin.
The forty years life of Rev. Mr..
Barry in Wisconsin has been a period
of activity in all enterprises which he
conscientiously believed were for the
uplifting of humanity to higher
plane. His religious views are in ac-
cord with that portion of the Christian
church, represented by Rev. James
Freeman Clark, of Boston.
