The Dark Horse.

Since the publication of Mr.. Blaine's sec
ond letter the Republican party is at sea-
drifting upon an ocean of uncertainties,
and without mast or rHdder, in hopeless
endeavor TO find a candidate possessing some
Depew in the East and Gresham in the
West are the two most prominent. But
what gives one prominence in the East
makes HIN unavailable in the West, and vice
versa. Gresham's low tariff and anti -monop-
oily opinions would array the whole manu-
featuring and railway interests against
him. Depew's relations with the railways
and his strong protection views make it
next TO impossible for him to get the cleo
toral vote of a single Western State. And,
as fOrJoha Sherman, nobody wants him
The Republican leaders realize the d.
lenma they are in, and consequently the
"darlE horse'' is assuming more Importance
as Presidential candidate than he was u
few weeks ago. The colored equine must
be man without a record. he is not
usually supposed to possess ability, or any
special qualification for the Chief Magis-
tracy OF the Nation 1t doesn't make any
difference whether any thing can be said
In his favor or not-the main point is to get
a candidate against whom nothing can be
charged. If he never made speech or
wrote letter, so much the better. II would
be in his favor IL he never cast vote The
dark horses most essential qualification is
the possession of bar'l" II he has a
bank account and no record his availability

One phase Of Protection.

The main arguments of Republican news
papers and orators arc that high tariff is a
necessity 10 protect our worhmen from for
eign competition abroad where low wages
prevail; that a reduction in tariff rates
would result in a reduction of the wages Of
mechanics and others paid ID this country to
the low rates paid in Europe. Theories that
arc excellent in themselves are, however,
subject to the rule that it is the unexpected
that always happens. The unexpected is
just now happening under the high tariff or
so-called ''protcctiven tariff existing here.

comes TO compete with our home mechanics,
artisans, mill hands and working people
generally, and in spite Of s.high tariff pro-
tecting labor'' The conditions on the other
hand are in place Of the manufactured goods
shut out, the importation of an over-abun-
dant supply of competitive workers in all
handicrafts, thus transferring competition
from Europe into our own manufactures
and workshops. One of our most esteemed
contemporaries puts the case as it exists,
even now, very forcibly in the following
way: Again we see, incidentally, the prac-
teal working Of the inequitabie tariff laws
OF this country, which serve 10 shut out the
products of craftsmen in other countries,
and attract hither, in consequence, upneed-
cd thousands OF inferior foreign vorkmen,
who can be drawn upon 70 fill the places of
our native skilled laborers in case of a strike
or cut N wagcs.''

ingalls, vomits Moro venom.

The North american Reuie1U for June
gives place to a coarse, brutal and infa-
nous attack by Senator ingalls,, of Kansas,
upon the President of the United States.
IL is most indecent performance from first
to last, and so far transcends the bounds Of
legitimate political discussion that one is
amazed to find it in periodical of the pre-
tensions of the North ADpFicdlI ReUie1U. The
tone which Senator ingalls, adopts toward
tie President is in the last degree offensive
to propriety and good taste, and much of
his language would ill-become bar-room
loafer. He shows as little regard for the
restraints which custom and good breeding
impose upon high officials in their inter-
course with and public discussion of each
other as he does for the requirements of
truth and the obligations of decency. In
short, he out-Ingallses Ingalls,.
His indictment of President Cleveland is
a tissue of brazen falsehoods. 1t is not only
studied and malicious pcrversion of the
Presidents official record, says the Indiana
polls Sentinel, but a foul and caluminous
assault upon his persona cha~cc.cr. It &C
cuses him Of ignorence, dishonesty and vile
ness. 1t speaks of him in terms which no
Senator of the United States ever before
applied in public writing or speech to the
incumbent of his high office. 1t is an insult
not only tn the President himself; not only
TO the Senate of the United States, whose
dignity and character are wantonly com
promised by the viliiication of the Execu-
tive by its presiding officer; but to the
whole people of the United States who de-
liberately selected Grover Cleveland as
their Chief Magistrate, and in whose official
person the honor of the Nation Is typified.
This man ingalls, is just exactly what Sen
ator Voorhees, pronounced hing great
liar and dirty dog" He is a disgrace TO
the State of Kansas, TO the Republican
party and 10 the Senate of the United States.
He has been invited To indianapolis to mako
speech before the Republican State con-
vention. When he comes people who re-
spect themselves and who have any regard
for the proprieties and deccncies of life,
whatever may be their political views, will
let him severely alone. He is not a tit asso-
ciate for gentlemen.

The Democratio Platform.

Whoever was looking TO the st. Louis
convention for straddle of the tariff qUes-
ton must be grlevously disappointed, says
the Chicago Neics. AS clear as words can
convey ideas the platform adopted admits
that the Democratic tariff resolution of 1854
was ambiguous, and removes that ambigu-
ity by giving the key to its Interpretation.
The tariff resolution of 1883 reafI1rms the
platform of 1884 and Endorses the views
expressed by President Cleveland IN his
last earnest message to Congress as the
correct Interpretation of that platform upon
the question of tariff reduction"
After this there can be no excuse for any
one to pretend that the Democrats have at
tempted TO obscure the issue from what
Cleveland made 1t in his message of last
December There was not an uncertain or
ambiguous word in that fearless document
which was so promptly accepted as a chal-
lenge by Mr.. Blaine and every war-tariff
protectioniSt in the land. 1t declared for
the retention of the internal revenue tax on
tobacco and whisky and for reduction of
the customs duties on the necessities Of life
and on the raw materials entering into our
manufactures without disturbing our in
dustries or removing any necessary protec-
tlon TO American labor.
Upon all other questions the platform is a
square Endorsement Of the President and
his Administration. 1t defends his land
policy, his pension vctoes, his economic
recommendations and his treaties. 1t do
serves credit for the definiteness of its Ian
guage, which leaves nothing open for mis-
Interpretation. The issue it makes is Cleve-
land his administration and recommends
tions. The Democracy stands by what
Cleveland has dOne-good, bad and indiffer-
ent. His whole record as President is
thrown into the scale, and by that the De-
mocracy declares its willingness 10 be
Judged trustworthy or faithless.
1t remains to be seen if the Republican
party viii accept the issue of revenue re-
form without free trade thus boldly pro-
feSsed

The Political Game of Ten-Pins.

Has the gentle reader ever considered
how the present political situation is like
unto game Of ten-pinsl asks the Chicago
Nelcs. The favorite sons: Stanford of Cal
ifornia; Hawley, of Connecticut; Gresham,
of Illinois; Harrison, of Indiana; Allison,
Of Iowa; Alger, of Michigan; Phelps, of
New Jersey; Depew, of New York; Sher-
man, of Ohio, and Rusk, of Wisconsin, con-
stitute the ten-pins. John Sherman, by
virtue of priority of birth aud the perennial
nature of his candidacy, holds the place Of
honor at the apex of the triangle. Right
back of him come Harrison on the right and
Depew on the left, and the rest fill tho
two rear rows, with Gresham at the OK
trerle right. At the other end of the alley
stands James G.. Blaine with a twelve-inch
ball, labeled "The Republican convention
resting in the hollow of his hand He is
familiar with every groove and bias OF the
alley. He can put that ball down the CEN
ter so that it will level the whole array and
score HIM a strike; or he can send it curv-
ing and creeping along the tortuosities of
the oft-traveled plano so that it will pick off
just what pins he wants out of the way.
The only PIN that gives him any uneasiness
is that on the edge Of the alley TO the right.
Ii by any chance it should escape his first
balls he might run off into the gutter in
trying to bring it down with his third.
That is the only reason why the bowler
wipes the perspiration from his brow and
spits on his hands as he balances the ball in
his deft dexter organ of prehension.

Tho Issue ,yell Defnea.

Cleveland and Thurman on the platform
adopted at st. Louis is wei defined. There is
no danger of misconstruing it and no chance
to dodge it, Tho Democrats party occupies a
bold, manly, outspoken position on the ques-
ton that is upperrnost in the American
mind to-day. and on that issue it proposes to
force the fighting all along the Inc. Tho
principles involved in this issue are not
new-they are as old as human government; !;
for IN all ages Of the word two principles
have contended for the mastery in govern
ment-one that the favored few should gov
efn and live in idle luxury; the ether that
the toiiing many should contro; and shape
public affairs for their own beneft-St-

A Manly stand.

The Democrats have taken their stand,
not without some contest, but yet manfully
and openly. What will the Republicans do
when their turn comesl We need not an
ticipate, says the New York Post, what par
ticular form of words they will employ in
their platform. 1t is not what they may say
at Chicago, but what they Will do in Wash
ington, that will be decisive. The Treasury
surplus is a fact Of gigantic proportions. 1t
can not even be gotten rid of by plank in
platform. IL can not be gotten rid of by
new pension bills, and river and harbor
jobs, and such like profigacy. 1t is too
great, too near at hand. Pension bills and
public works take time to get in operation
The surplus is present fact growing from
day to day. The purchase of bonds have al
most ceased because the offerings arc few
and the prices exorbitant. The public have
seen how the bond-holders have advanced
their prices from day to. day. They have
monopoly of the thing that the Government
wants, and they take advantage of it as a
matter Of course. They are not TO blame.
Everybody would do the same thing 1t is
a commercial question, and must be gov
erned by commercial rules.

THURMAN AT COLUMBUS.
A Speech Entirely characteristic OF a
Great Man.

Mr.. Thurman possesses sturdy sense as
well as rugged honesty
Though not college bred, Thurman is
learned as any man with mind susceptible
OF cultivation may be regardless of his op-
portunitie5 of requirement ia The schools.
A skilled mathematician, he finds recrea-
ton in working out abstruse problems
Well acquainted with French, he delights in
his declining days to read the literature of
that land in the vernacular. When a re-
porter for the Chicago Times brought him
the information of his nomination at St
Louis, the old gentleman, with the inevIta-
bic b3ndana in his lap, was reading a new
history of ancient Greece. He is a jurist
he has been conspicuously law-malIer as
well as supremely an interpreter of law
But, like Palmer, of Illinois, when Thur
man addresses the people he is pfain manly
and straightforward. Aiming TO reach the
hearts of his fellow-citizens, he does not fire
over their heads. His speech at Columbus
was simple and unaffec ed.
If, just from his Greek history, a classic
allusion was in his mind he refused to give
it expression, as foreign TO the occasion. The
homely, everyday folk of Columbus were
not invited to Olympus and told of Jupiter
Ammon. He placed before them no quo
tations from Racine nor drew for their ben
eft any illustration from the French revo-
luton. He simply spoke right on in the
homely, direct phrase, which Is the truest
index of sincerity. He was ain American
citizen talking to his fcllow-citizens and de-
claring artlessly and unaffectedly warm,
honest, grateful high-minded nature.
He commended the delegates who stood by
Gray. Why should they notl 1t was their
right. He had no words of bitterness for
political opponents. Why should he speak
hove hlr-1 = -.
of Democracy, and opinions sincerely held
are entitled to respect. He might have
complained, as Republican journals with af-
fected interest and patent purpose are COM
planning for him, that recognition is tardy
and even now halts of his utmost desert
but there is no hint of disappointment nor
regret.
The party commands his service, and
though he is old and Graves repose. vet If
need be he will die in the harness for the
people. This is the 6auntlcss spirit OF the
only man sent by the people TO the Congress
OF the United States who patiently. reso-
htely and unostentatiously confronted
Gould and his lobby and brought the Pa
cific roads jobbers to something like terms.
When the Republicans of California sent
Stanford to the Senate of the United States,
whence Thurman was retired, it is small
wonder that the anti-monopolists of tho
coast as of the country begged that Thur
man might again be brought to the front.
Profoundly learned, Thurman has no re-
putation for brllliancy. He is not a poser
Yet no man who has figured in public life
has safer place in the hearts of his fcl-
low-citizens. Their regard for him, as
their confidence in his integrity, abides
from year to year. And when he addresses
them it is, as at Columbus, in the simple
language OF truth and soberness

rhc Renuhliaan situation.

The Post Dispatch seems TO have sized up
the Republican situation about right Mr..
Blame is a candidate, and the Harrison
movement is in his interest. The Gresham
movement, on the contrary, is anti Blaine
in its origin and purposes. The Logan ele-
ment, in Illinois, is warmly enlisted in it,
and it sis destined to rally all the elements
averse 10 a repetition Of the contest of
1884" After the favorite sons are out of
the way at Chicago, the contest Will prob
ably narrow down to Blaine and Gresham.
II the former il nominated Harrison will be
named for the Vice-P Presidency Ii Gresh-
am is nominated, sSe ticket viii be COM
