 NEW YORK. July 23.-The paramount issue of the presidential election of this year is moral rather than political, 1t con- cerns national honor and character, and honesty of administration rather than general principles of government upon which the platforms of the two parties do not essentially differ. No position taken by one platform is seriously trav- ersed by the other, both evidently con- template general agreement of public opinion upon subjects which have been long in controversy, and indicate Gn un- willingness to declare upon other and cardinal questions. It quotes the re- AAAtAA n NA t1NAAtAAul AAOoit VI -AtcE-F oN tAAN shameless doctrine that the true way by which power should be gained ID re- public, Is to bribe people with offices created for their service, and the true and for which 1t should be used when gained Is promoting selfish ambition and qualification for personal revenge" but this doctrine 1t continues, has naturally produced results which are alarming.
 The platform then says 1t has hither- tO been proclaimed to be the duty of every citizen to support the party at cleo tion without regard to the character of those whom 1t selects as its executive agents, but tendency of such policy is fatal to public welfare, that it way the duty of every patriotic citizen to defeat such demands. The candidate present ed by the National Republican Conven has shown by his own act and words that he Is unworthy of respect or cOnti- dence. anI that he has traded upon his official trust for his pecuniary gain.
 It eulOgizes Cleveland at considerable length, end predicts his administration would be tO the honor of American citi- zenship both at home and abroad. IL declares that 1t is not the intention Oi the farmers to leave the Republican nominee as a duty they owe the country, The platform concludes by advising in- dependent voters to vote for electors who will vote for Grover Cleveland.
