THE Chicago Lter-Ocem says: The
two great parties of the country have
each its distinctive banner. The Demo
crafic convention met first and thus had
first pick of ensigns. Passing by the flag
of the Union the Democrats chose red
pocket handkerchief, and that not be-
cause the French Republicans waved the
red flag as they sung the "Marseiliaise
and marched on the Bastile, but because
II was and is what Massachusetts, dele
gate to the Republican National Conven-
ton aptly if not elegantly termed
snuff rag" used time out Of mind by a
distinguished reminiscence and remnant
of the copperheadism which did SO much
10 aid the rebels in our late war. This
emblem Of the Democrats, their Ia hoe
sigiao Uinoes. would be honorable if it were
the suggestion of the war Democrats Of
whom there was mighty host, some Of
whom still adhere to that party, but in
stead of that it symbolizes Northern
sympathy with Southern treason. As
Governor Foraker well said, it is "that
same old bandana that we knew so well
in the war times, when it meant only
copperhead disloyalty, and which now
means only British free trade"
Apart from the direct significance of
that rag is the remarkable fact that 1t
suggests the candidate for Vice President
instead of President. Grover Cleveland
has been at the head of the Government
more than three years, yet he has said
nothing, done nothing, and been nothing
which can furnish an ensign for the par
ty which has renominated him. So far
as flags 90, the appropriate thing for the
Democracy would have been a composite
representation of the rebel flags which
were not returned.
The star-spangled banner is good
enough for the Republicans. They would
no more think of any other sign in which
10 conquer in this or any other political
campaign than they would of using water
for air in their respiration. 1t is the vi
tai, natural element Of their vitality, the
inspiration of all their public aspirations
and purposes. The convention hall was
blazoned with the glorious old flag, and
it served to emphasize every outburst Of
applause. In peace, no less than in war,
it's the Republican "heart of Bruce" " and
they follow wherever it leads, fighting
always and everywhere for the princi
Piles which it represents, the ideas and
institutions which it symbolizes. No
matter who the candidate may be, the
flag of our country will be the banner of
Republicanism, and that by a selection
as natural and inevitable as the law Of
gravitation.

IL regard to the platform adopted at
Chicago, the Philadelphia North Ameri-
cua says 1t is one of the most sturdy
and straightforward platforms on record.
There cannot be the slightest doubt about
the attitude Of the party on the tariff, on
civil rights, on the absolute equality of
men before the law, on the vital necessi-
ty for the maintenance of the right of
every citizen TO vote his free choice and
to have that vote counted rs cast, on the
absolute necessity for free schools, on
tax reduction and on the disposition of
the public lands in the spirit of the Home
stead law. Nor is there any gingerly Jug
Cling with the questions of pauper labor
and trusts; the first being condemned in
direct terms and the latter SO clearly in
dicated that even the Sugar Trust and the
Whiskey Trust are iGelcded. In every
one of these respects the Chicago plat
form presents marked contrasts with that
of St Louis, contrasts that the masses
will not fail 10 note despite the Demo-
cratic tenet that platforms do not mean

TuE best move the Republicans have
made, so FAR, in the political campaign, is
the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as
toeir party banner. Itwas suggested, OBJ
viously, by the universal adoption of the
red bandanna by the Democrats, but it
has significance which becomes all the
deeper by contrast with that device.
There is something about the American
flag that causes the American people to
rally around it invincibly whenever it is
assailed. The Republican party will
carry it through the campaign and wave
it triumphantly over the result.
