A GRATIFYING CONTRAST.

AS the result of the conventions Work
at Chicago last week and this there IS
incomparably greater hope and enthusl-
asm in the party throughout the country
than there was four years ago. linen
George William Curtis and his mug
wump contingent, each and every man
full Of fight and prophesies Of disaster;
the bitter dislikes that grew up between
the Blaine and Arthur forces; the fact
that Conkling was keeping his distance,
and the intangible presage Of defeat IN
the air, combined to Cypress the conven-
ton and send it home in i'll humor and
unsatisfactory shape for the fray.
This year none of these contingencies
were present and all is well. The mug
wumps, what few there are left, were
conspicuous by their absence. The can
didates, though rivals, are yet friends,
and good humor, harmony and satlSfac-
ton rules the hour. Conkling's friends
no longer respect the issues that emblt-
tered his spirit and depressed that OF has
party for they have vanished and are
not. The assurance of victory is now so
plain that every one feels it, and as re-
suit we have more determination, more
courage, more hopefullness than Repub-
icans have been able to enjoy during
and since any national convention of the
recent past.
The good humor and oneness Of senti-
ment that pervades the convention and
attendant spectators at Chicago is react
ing upon the party at large, and the De
mocracy may as we'll make us its mind
to go through the ivliest experience 1t
has had since 1872.

The Republican platform ranges the
party around its respondent past and
makes that past the pledge and promise
of the future. 1t appeals to Americans
with loyal emphasis; to good citizens
with safe and timely counsel; to work

ions for their welfare: and to every man
who believes in good government,
national safeguards. honest currency,

Because the Republican platform pro-
poses, as a last resort, that the entire in
ternal revenue system be abolished
rather than that protection be aban-
doned, the cry will be raised of ''free
whisky" This is precisely what the
prohibitionists said in their convention
few weeks ago. They demanded the
repeal of the internal revenue laws and
denounced the revenue tax on whisky as
an immoral compact. Did they mean it,
or were they posing for an opportunity
to fight the Republicans upon tie idea
that the party would commit itself
against prohibition? And what are they
going to do about it?

" hen Grover gives place to Ben Harrison.

The Chicago platform gives out no I'M
certain sound. 1t declares 1--WE hold the
free and honest popular ballot, and the
just and equal representation of all the
people to be the foundation of our Re-
publican government" 1t declares
against putting wool on the free list in
the interest of the sheep-raisers. This
adds strength to the ticket in Ohio, Indi-
ana and in Oregon. The platform is
against further importation of Chinese
labor. 1t wants the territories to be
made states, and declares for the use of
gold and silver as money. 1t is emphat-
ic in denouncing President G leveland's
foreign policy "as distinguished by its
inefficiency and cowardice." 1t is sound
on the FIRE school question, and earn
estly recommends that prompt action be
taken by congress in the enactment of
such legislation as will best secure the
Mobilization of our merchant marine, -
and opposes the passage of Free Ship
bill. The platform Is strong and sound
in every timber.

Who can compare. at all, with Harrison.

The fact that MIR. Thurman is a very
rich man cured the defect of his extreme
age in the estimation of the Democracy
who felt thrill of delight at the pros
pect of having a fresh, full bari to use
for campaign purposes; but as soon as
the nomination of Mr.. Morton for the
same Office by the Republicans was an
nounced they throw up their hands and
cry capitalist, monopolist. Nobody is
gulled by such demagoguery The fact
that Mr.. Morton is a successful business
man in private affairs is the strongest
argument that can be used for entrust-
ing him with public concerns. The
man who fails to mango his private
affairs successfully is not likely to do
better with public trust if committed
to his care. Harrison and Morton have
both proven their abilities by this STAN
dard.

1t is said that lot of Topeka fellows
took it upon themselves to instruct the
Kansas delegation in Chicago, by wire,
how to vote And this in face of the
well known fact that the Governor and
a part of the supreme court and other
state officers were in Chicago helping
along the blunder5 that were made.
Hereafter the ring should have an under
standing, or otherwise all stay at home
or all go. These divisions are annoying
to the body of the party, who make no
pratensions further than to follow, but
It's hard to go in several directions at the
same time.

1t was thought at one time during the
opening proceedings of the Chicago con-
vention that it would be necessary to
send for the fool killer to settle the Ma
hone-Wise wrangle, but the decisive &C
ton of the convention in the matter and
subsequent conservatism of the commit
tee on credentials in amicably adjusting
the differences between the fiery and
belligerent Virginians rendered unneces-
sary the services of the aforementioned
funcqonary with his fresh sharpened
snickersee.

A few forlorn Democrats are striving
to extract little comfort out Of the cir
cumstance Of General Harrison's defeat
for governor Of Indiana by Blue Jeans
Williams several years ago, and are try
ing to make it appear from that incident
that he is personally unpopular IN his
own state. On the contrary that very
contest more than anything else proves
his personal strength in Indiana. He
showed his unselfshness and loyalty to
his party by permitting his name to be
substituted for that Of the party nominee
who proved to be an Objectionable man
and who was removed from the ticket
less than six weeks before the election;
he entered the contest heartily, even I'M
der such embarrassing circumstances, and
by his earnest efforts and personal mag
netism led the state ticket two thousand
votes and crowded the sentimental blue
Jeans" down to a small majority. AS to
his contest with Turpie for the senate,
General Harrison went into the canvass
for the legislature and by his efforts
mainly the party succeeded in electlng
majority Of that body, but through un
blushing fraud and treachery practiced
by the Democratic leaders, headed by
the governor of the state, he was defeat
ed out Of the majority he had earned and
to which he was morally and legally en-
titled. If the Democrats can find any
thing in these facts and circumstances to
glory over or pin hopes to for success
they are more than welcome to it. The
gallant leader Of the Republican party
win not be handicapped by such local
combination of circumstances this year.
His majority in Indiana will be larger
than any candidate of any party has had
in sixteen years. Mark the prediction.
