A Spontaneous Tribute.

Mir. Dougherty's speech in the conven- tion was skillfully adapted to the pur- pose. It's simplicity was it's strength. While the impression on reading it is one of extreme plainness, 1t will be seen that it is made up of succession of short, em- phatic periods, every one of which was an irresistible incentive to applause.
 In this way the speech was suited to it's subject. MT. Cleveland is not 8 candidate to be presented in a blaze of fireworks. As MT. Dougherty puts it, with an epi- grammatic terseness suggestive of Cleve- land himself, "He is not promise; he is 8 realization" There was no need of rhe- torical display to quicken the faith in spired by the man himself.
 All accounts agree that the presenta- tion of MT. Cleve1and's s name wasreceived in the convention with an, enthusiasm that has scarcely been excelled at the nomination of any of the most popular candidates of either party in the past, and this without any of that artificial ex- citement that is engendered by contest. The fact Is 8 very significant indication that MT. Cleveland s leadership is not that of an official despot controlling unwilling slaves, as some Republican writers repre-. sent, still less mere result of the acci. ently suggested by the same class of his opponents, but that it has been fairly won by his personal strength and courage and is freely and spontaneously accorded him by the great popular sentiment of his partv.-Philadelphia Times.

Democracy's Good Luck.

Of all the men who became famous as champions of Democracy in it's twenty four years of defeat Allen c. Thurman is. aside from Bayard, who belongs to later generation, practically the sole survivor Since the national Democratic convention of 1884 assembled, death has removed nearly all of the ancient party leaders. Tilden, Seymour, Hendricks, Mcclellan and Hancock have all died within tho last four years.
 Thurman is the connecting link between the new and the old Democracy. He stands for all that Is of good report in either. He is an honest man, universal favorite, statesman who finds his en- -emies not in parties but in classes, No Republican as Republican objects to him. He has been the tribune of the whole people. He has been opposed by enemies of the whole people.
 It is a fortunate thing for the Demo cratic party that it has such man at hand willing to be summoned into. it's service. It is creditable to the party that it show it's admiration for his character as it does.-Chicago Herald.

AT it's last session the United States su- preme court decided a novel question of special interest to lawyers and travellers A woman travelling on the Louisville and Nashville road had with her hand bag containing $6. 900 in bills and jewslry worth $4,000. While trying to close an open window through which a cold wind was blowing on her, she accidentally dropped the bag out of the window. She at once notified the conductor of the loss, told him the bag contained property of great value, and asked him to stop the train. He refused to do so until he reached the next station, which was three miles distant The owner then sent trustworthy person back to get the bag, but when he reached the place the bag was not to be found. The company was sued for the amount of the loss. The supreme court holds that it was not liable.

 The St. Louis convention ssents to the candidate they have already once re- corded 2 favorable judg dgnent. The princi- pie is now first put before them as the dominant issue of national contest. Against the of President Cleveland no dissenting voice has been raised sat St. Ionis. In Its form and it's spirit, being made without call of states, by shout of exclamation, amid 2 scene of extraordinary enthusiasm, and iI' response to q demand in which the Democracy of all the states have joined, this renominaiion of Mir. Cleve- land is without precedent in the history of the country. He is called to the candidacy by his party speakingwith single voice, and not only his own con spicuous merits and proved strength. but the traditions of presidential renomina- tions justify the choice and constitute an have been a second time put in nomina- tion, Washington. Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Lincoln, and Grant were reelected, and only John Quincy Adams and Martin Van Buren failed of reelection.
 The principle which the convention pre- sents for popular ratification is the hon. est conduct of the public business. This principle is broader than civil service re form, 1t is broader than revenue reform. It includes them both and other reforms with them. The dishonest conduct of the public business includes the debasement of the Federal service through spells seeking and spells giving equally with the exaction of war taxes in time of peace, not for the bene- fit of the whole people, but for the enrichment of the protected few. Both have been the policy and the practice of the Republican party, and by both the people are cheated of their public rights and their just private gains. The public business has been honestly conducted by Grover Cleveland through the administration which is now drawing to it's close, so far as he was free, within the limits of the executive power, to con duct it upon lines of policy laid down by himself. Outside those limits, within Q sphere where the responsibility for well or ill doing belongs almost solely to the national congress, lies the monstrous sys- tenn of pillage by statute which the Re- publican party has made its own and is organized to maintain and defend.-New York Times.

THE republican platform was shaped to fit John Sherman, but it is very doubtful whether he will be called on to stand upon it. The platform when hewed down fine is simply declaration for high protection and free whiskey, and a wholesale arraign- ment of the democratic party from Pres ident Cleveland down. Four lines of the platform gre dedicated to the citizens of Irish birth, with the hope that Ireland will soon enjoy home rule. If Judge Gresham, who is an ex-knownothing re- ceives the nomination, this section of the platform will not be mentioned above whisper; it will relapse into innocuous desuetude, as it were. The seceders from the party of 1884 are round ly scored for their desertion "not only of the cause of honest government, of sound finance, of freedom or purity of the ballot, but especially for their desertion of the cause of reform in the civil service." The platform covers considerable ground, but the tariff plank is the one upon which the campaign will be fought, and we have no hesitancy in saying that when the laboring man reads both sides of the case and fully understands the situation he will not be in favor of the high protection ideas of the republican party.

 FOR vrcE-PREsrDENT, ALLEN G. THURMAN
 of Ohio

APRoPos of the application of President Welton of the water board, for permission to use city boiler to drive the engine for the purpose of pumping water into the Cooke street reservoir, it is claimed that when the city purchased those few poor springs and built an embankment on Cooke street-at cost of $75, 1000, we believe it was supposed the reservoir could be filled from the main reservoir without any me- chanical assistance. Was there some mis- take in the engineering of this:

PRoTEcTIoNIsTs in this country would ground than they do, were it not generally supposed that the tariff played very i'm portant part in maintaining the Thigh rate" of wages prevalent in America. They pretend to be great friends of the working men, and they fairly shiver lest salt and lumber be placed upon the free list, for by doing so they would immediately reduce American wages to the pauper level of Europe. Let us indulge in little figuring: The census of 1880 shows that in that year there were 26S salt works, employing I, ,289 men and women. The amount paid in wages was $1, ,26O,02 This leaves the daily rate of wages in this protected in dust1y, about 98 cents, while the profit on the capitol invested was IS per cent. The duty on salt is eight cents per hundred pounds in bulk, and twelve cents per hum dred pounds in barrels and..packages. The house very properly voted to put salt on the free list. The debate on the lumber tax is interesting in this connection. The
 tax on lumber Is $2 per thousand feet, and the proposition under discussion was to whether or not lumber should be made free. MT Boutelle, of Maine, that eminent friend of the workingmen, said with great solemnity,
 that the effect of the free lumber feature of the Mills bill, would be to reduce the wages of the workers in this industry from 20 to 45 per cent. Mfr Outhwaite of Ohio produced some figures in opposition to Mr Boutelle's argument, which are interesting: He showed from the census that the total value of sawed lumber in Maine was ST. 933, ,86S; total value of materials S4 ,951, z 957, leaving . balance of $2,981 ,911. The amount of wages paid each employe found
 by dividing the total amount by the num-
 Der of employees, was found to be the

Cheerful Logic.

The Republican party and the colored voter perform together election days, but during 364 days of the year they know little about each other. The negro has never been permitted to have much ac- quaintance with the managemene of the party and the white Republican has never been free with his friendship toward the negro in the hard grind of living which comes to all, white and black alike. If negro gets in trouble he usually goes to Democrat for help, and when he is in doubt to 8 Democrat for advice. Kansas City Times.
