THE PLATFORM OF 1888.

A High-Minded Appeal to the Popular
Sense of Patriotic Duty.
The Republican National platform Of
1888 is before the people. 1t is not a
new deliverance. 1t does not contra
dict any former platform, nor is it an
Interpretation of the platforms that
have preceded it. The principles cher
ished by the Republican party from the
beginning are reaffirmed in the declar-
alton of their logical results, shaped by
the progress of National events, ap-
piled to the present condition of the
country-the whole is rehearsal of
the past and pledge for the future.
Such as Republicanism was at the
grand uprising against slavery, and
when it appeared armed and panoplied
to overthrow rebellion, it is; and such
it will continue to be, but enlightened
by experience, developed by progress,
directed by change in times and cir
cumstances, but moving ever forward.
with wider sweep, with beneficent
purposes and with unfaltering courage.
The two leading and conspicuous fea-
lures of the platform are its declara-
tons in support of a free and pure
suffrage, and of protection in the tariff
as the basis of all legislation on that
subject. 1t has no double meanings
nor equivocal phrases. 1t is for pro-
tection-the protection of the elective
franchise and the protection of labor.
1t contains nothing that may mean
many things or may be meaningless.
No free-trader can construe it as en-
couraging tendency toward his false
theories, now or at any future time. 1t
favors tariff revision, not on free-trade
lines. but on protection lines: to curtail
the revenue where needed by such pro-
lection for American products as will
exclude revenue-paying imports, and
by removing the duties on articles with
which American products do not come
in competition. That is true tariff re-
form as contrasted with spurious free
trade tariff reform.

coinage; to the admission of Territories
as States when they are fit and ready;
to oppressive monopolies and trusts;
to American ship interests; to the fish
cries treaty and TO other questions are
timely, just and of the highest inn
port.
The platform is in all its parts in
tensely American. Its patriotism is
superb in its glow and eloquence. Each
of its sonorous periods is an inspira-
ton. and stirs the blood like a trumpet
can to action. 1t denOunees as treach-
erous to the country and scandalouS the
Democratic surrender to British and
which has been evident in the diplomacy
of the Administration and by the legis-
lation which the partisan and sectional
majority in Congress has attempted.
These portions of the platform breathe
the very spirit of the Declaration OF
Independence.
The tribute TO the dead military and
civic heroes of the Republican party,
and to Sheridan on his bed of illness,
is affecting and worthy the names of
those whom it eulogizes. A better pre-
paration for the clauses of the platform
that follow could not have been devised.
1t is dirge-like prelude solemnizing
the highest appeals to the conscience
and to the popular sense of patriotic
duty. The resolution in behalf of the
veteran soldiers is aptly just and APP
propriate.
Any candidate nominated can stand
on this platform. 1t commends itself
to every voter. 1t is an epitome of
Americanism. 1t lays the groundwork
of the labor before us. 1t calls every
good citizen to the conflict. 1t is the
issue between parties - between the
friends of the country and its enemies,
between good Government and bad

A denizen of Cass avenue and a resi-

TOMORROW IT DIES.
Why the Democratic Party Is Doomed {

Why the Democratic Party Is Doomed to
Give Up Its Ghost.
The Democratic party learns moth
ing. 1t is rock-ribbed ever in its con-
viction that when it has met in conven-
ton and howled over a candidate that
candidate is going to be elected. In
Illinois it expects to make Palmer Gov
ernor. Nationally, it expects to make
Cleveland President again. Its faith is
Brobdingnaggian and its reasoning is
that of Zulu. 1t is as Bourbonish as
in the days after war, when it went in
to a campaign with the same blind con-
fdence that it did four years ago, when
the law of political change gave it at
last a temporary ascendancy. Give it
any sort of fetch and it will have faith.
In Illinois the Democratic party has
about as much chance of victory as
the mass of its members have for sal
walton. This is Republican State.
There are as yet too few thousands of
voters in city slums here, too many
school-houses, too many men who can
think, for it to be otherwise. 1t will
give next fall its usual Republican ma
jority. Were there some great side is
sue involved the situation might be
changed, locally, but such issue does
not exist. 1t is a square party fight
which will be on, and if there has been
change since the last State election
the Republicans are the gamers. There
are great many disguised Democrats
in Illinois.
As regards the Presidential election,
concerning which the Democrats are
now so confident, they simply do not
reason, Cleveland was elected by the
narrowest plurality in a single State.
He was elected because a certain class
of captious Republicans chose to vote
for him as against Mr.. Blaine who had
incurred their animosity. They did
desert their party permanently, and
still march beneath its banners, though
always in the rear. They will support
Republican candidate. They have
not found what they foolishly hoped for
in the Cleveland Administration. They
have seen partisans thrust in the places
of public servants against whom no
complaint was made; they have seen
the promised Civil-Service reform made
but mockery; they have seen ill-ad-
vised appointments-andC Chicago can
afford several examples of this class
result in the decentralization of the pub
lie service; they have in short seen the
spoils system carried out in every State.
If there are hungry Democrats any
where now it is because there are more
Democrats than offices.
The Republicans who opposed Blaine
recognize their blunder in anticipating
even degree of reform from the Dem
ocratic party. They realize that if
abuses have grown up the party of in
telligence and of progress is the only
one to correct them, and they are ready
to act. There are far more than enough
of them to carry New York and give the
Republicans the victory in November

merry, for tomorrow it dies. Chicago

A SAGACiOUS SETTER.
The Self-Imposed Duties of Remarkable
Maryland Dog.


Benedict. Charles County, Md,
boasts of the most sagacious setter dog
in the State. The dog, Bob, is large
nd-livered-colored setter, about
nine years old. He is actually the
property OF Captain Jones. late of the
Weems Line of steamers, but nominally
he belongs to any and all residents OF
Benedict. Bob has free access to any
of the residences or stores at all
times. Mothers utilize him as nurse
for their infants. and Bob seems to de,
light in taking care of the little ones.
He will lie down on make a pill
low of himself for the comfort Of
any child, and is careful not to move
for fear of waking a sleeping infant
He knows who has authority to remove
child, and will not countenance the
approach of any others when a child is
left to his care.
Two steamers stop at the town wharf
but Bob only goes to meet one of them.
He seems to keep a mental record o.
the two nights during the week or
which his Steameris due, and is always
en- hand to meet her, and before the
garg-plank is put out, Bob goes
aboard. His first self-assumed duty is
90 overthe steamer and inspect each OF
the deck-hands, and if a strange one is
found he spends considerable time neal
him and carefully sizes him up. After
that he never forgets him. He
next visits the engine-roOms, pays
his respects to each of the officers
goes to the steward and is fed
If the officers go to meals or ashore,
Bob takes up his post at the
gangway, and here his most acute per.
ception is brought into play. Passen.
gers or others having business aboard
are greeted with a wag of the tail and
other demonstrations of satisfaction,
but idlers are given clearly to under
stand that the shore would be the
safest place for them. The steamer
usually remains at the Benedict wharf
all night, though at times she goes up
the river after freight, returning the
same night. While even the passen.
gers are seldom advised OF the designs
of the officers as to the steamer. Bob
seems to have an intuition as to when
she is going, and if it is the intention
to return to Benedict, he will remain
aboard; if not, he goes ashore.
Not long since Bob started ashore
carrying choice bone. Before he
reached land he saw several hungry.
looking ours waiting for him. Bob
halted for moment to commune with
himself. He then stepped overheard,
on reaching place that suited him,
dropping the bone, which sank in
about three feet of water. Bob went
ashore. and an hour later. when the
coast was clear, swan to the spot, and
at the first dive came up with the bone.
Whenever children are playing neal

weather-eye open, in case there should
be an accident. Old age is beginning
to tell on the noble dog. though he still
attends to his duties. and will go to the
field with anyone he knows who goes
shooting. He was a good field dog in
his day. When he dies, he will be
mourned by both young and old resi-
dents and visitors of Benedict.

The Democratic Theory.

y. Y. Tribune (Bloody Shirt, Protection Re-
publ!can).
The protests against the dark lantern
tariff bill will make no difference with
the plans of its chief supporters. Their
objects are purely political. Whether
the bill would help or hurt industries, if
passed, they do not csre. Neither do
they much care whether it will help or
hurt their party outside OF certain locali-
ties. To them it is only question Of
tactics II the party csn get free-trade
support enough to carry New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut, or New York and
TWO northwestern states, holding the
south, it can win. To force the party to
m. Ike that sort of fight, and to nominate
Mr. Cleveland as the only practicable
candidate fer that sort Of tigGt, is the OBJ
iect to which the free traders are ready
to sacrifice votes and possibilities else
where.
The glass workers protest, and that in
dustry is represented in New jersey. The
earthenware duties affect more voters In
that state than in any other. But Mr..
Clevelsnd's friends have been convinced
that the position Of the Republican party
on the temperance question has made
New jersey surely Democratic this year;
that al tue manufacturers and working
men who may be influenced by the
threatened injury to industries of that
state will count for less thsn the WrSth
Of the opponeats Of temperance legisla-
ton. It is part OF The came csicula~
ton that the New Jersey Pfohiolt1onists,
whether in favor Of protection or not,
will continue to help the Democratic
party to the full extent CT their power.
Belief thst temperance men are more
anxious to defeat Or punish temperance
legislation than to defend their industries,
and that liquor sellers and their custom
ers are also more anxious to defeat or
punish the same temperance legislation
than to defend the industries OF their
state. Is the Cause of Democratic indiffer-
euce to ali protests from New Jersey.
There is the same reasoning about New
York. But in this state it is held thst
free traders have strength enough to in
sure Mr.. Cleveland plurality, in -pite Of
sny losses thst may result from threat
ened Inisry to iron, wooIlen, knit goods,
salt and farming industries. The election
