The Republican Platform.

The platform of the republican ma
tional convention could have been i'm
proved by some condensation, but as it
stands it is a complete and inspiring
confession of political faith. Some of
its salient features attract general at
tention at the outset, and it will grow
in favor the more it is studied. Follow
ing references to the names of Lincoln,
Grant and other of its great leaders of
the past, come congratulations to Brazil
upon the abolition of slavery in that
empire and an expression of hope that
Ireland may enjoy the blessings of
freedom and home rule, 1t renews
the pledges of the republican party to
maintain the personal rights and lib
critics Of citizens in all the states and
territories, "and especially to the SUI
preme and sovereign right of every
lawful citizen-rich or poor, native or
foreign-born, white or black-to cast
one ballot in public elections and TO
have that ballot duly counted" and
distinctly charges that "the present
administration and the democratic ma
jority in congress owe their existence
to the suppression of the ballot by a
criminal notification of the Constitu-
ton and laws of the United States. "
This is plain proposition, capable of
the fullest proof.
Then the platform comes to the great
issue of the day that concerns every
industrial interest. There is no double
dealing or evasion in the treatment of
the tariff question, but the declarations
of the platform are most explicit. The
republican deliverance on this question
begins: 4" We are uncompromisingly
in favor of the American system of
protection; we protest against its de-
struction, as proposed by the president
and his party. They serve the inter
ests of Europe; we support the in.
terests of America. We accept the
! issue and confidently appeal to the peo-

but he insisted upon making the effort.
The result showed his wisdom. The
republicans carried the state and came
within hairs breadth of carrying the
legislature, in the face of the fact that
the previous democratic legislature had
so gerrymandered the apportionment
as to give themselves at least forty-six
majority on joint ballot. And yet on
joint ballot there were but two ma
jority for the democrats, and those two
votes were more than doubtful.
The republican candidate for the
presidency is not rich, though his law
practice is large and remunerative. He
owns good house in indianapolis, where
his wife, who is a daughter of Professor
Scott of Oxford, Ohio, and a handsome
and vivacious lady, receives much COM
pany. They have two children, son
and daughter, both of whom are
married.

Notes and Opinions.

THE Rochester Herald reminds the
democrats that the red banner is the
flag of smallpox, auctions and anarchy.
THE intense heat is beginning to tell
upon General Sheridan's strength and
he will soon be removed to the seaside.
AS one of the campaign songs of 1910
had it:
Wen sing Harrison song by night
And beat the foes by day"
AT the Essex county republican
convention last Friday Colonel u. NJ.
Mansur was nominated for senator.
He will be good one.
"THE democratic party" says the
Hartford Post, " stands with one foot
deep in the mire of free-trade and the
other lightly resting on more moderate
