rushed from their separate sections"
Two Of thGm through the standing

anything thoy could throw, soon
"bruiscd' not only tho houd, but Tho

ment Upon the selection of Hon. John r.
Lynch as temporary chairman of the Repub-
ioan national convention: 'It is a disgrace to
N.~ American people to have one of its presi-
1ential nominating conventions presided over
by member of race who are naturally, and
Ky right ought to be, hewers of wood and draw

THE suspension Of Stout g. Co., brokers,
New York, came about in remarkable man
nor. They had occasion to dispose of some
stock, and ordered a certain firm to quietly"
sell it on Change. The firm read quickly"
for quietly" made the sale public, and pre-
cipitated run which the firm was not imme-
diately able to meet. Wall-street people do
not require more than wink to set them
against anybody along the street. and then
the feathers fly.

THE Saturday Review makes a good point
on the Democratic platform and the metro
poitan police. 1t says
'grhe Democratic platform approves the law
creating metropolitan police for Indianapo
lis. It says: 1t is particularly appropriate
that the State should have some voice in
choosing the police of its own capital, where
the State Treasury, public buildings, and
archives, and much public property are stu
ated, and where its public officers reside or
periodically assemble etc. In this it con-
cedes the right of State government to super
sede municipal government in the control of
municipal matters but in succeeding section
it stultifes the Democratic party by demand
ing "a repeal of the laws enacted by the Repub-
lican party, designed to place the elections
under federal control, in violation of the
rights of the States If Indiana has right
to control police affairs in indianapolis, for
the reasons set forth in the platform, the
United States certainly ought to have right
to protect the ballot box at elections held for
electing members of Congress and the execu-
tive of the nation. The Democratic platform
doesn't consist"

Lynch to the place he held and the dignity
and ability with which he exercised the
authority of the chair is one of the chiefest
glories of the convention, as it is one of the
chiefest glories of the Republican party
If for no other thing than this distinctive and
emphatic recognition of the great doctrine of
the equality of all men before the law, the
Republican party will receive the support of
the great majority of the American people.
It is a pitiable spectacle to see brave old
freedom-loving Massachusetts, trying to lead
a revolt against the work of convention that
thus declared so pointedly that Of one blood
God made all races of men.
