ALETTER 30 DR.. sToRRs.

Ed. Journal: As you and your read.
ers are aware it is a matter of con.
siderable notoriety that Rev. DR.. r.
). Storrs, OF BroOBlyn. Immediately
after the Chicago Convention, ex-
pressed himself i'll such manner con-
corning some portions Of the platform
there adopted. as to lead to the i'm.
preston that he did not intend to
support the Republican ticket this
fall. In order that his position might
be clearly UNDER TODD he has writte'I
long letter to The Independent,
which has been extensively copied -
with which therefore it is presumed
your readers are famliar). In + he
gives the public to understand hat
though much dissatisfied with ;er-
tain commissions and omissions in he
platform, yet recognizing the fact
that the party and its nominees are
better than their platform, aud i'm
mensely better than anything else in
the field, he will continue to act with
his old party There has been con-
siderable criticism, favorable and un-
favorable, Of his position and his let
ter by the newspapers, and doubtless
also by direct correspondence. To
this latter class belongs a letter to
DR.. Storrs, that came to me for peru
sal, and some extracts from which !
venture to send to the JOURNAL for in.
sertion, if deemed of sufficient gen.
eral interest. +. Z.

There were 6 blanks on the 2ith ballot, on the
9th and on the Both.
After the Saith ballot DR.. Ballard
proposed that since the River Falls
delegation did not wish to decide the
contest against either of the other
candidates, the three candidates now
before the convention withdraw and
that Col. Dill be made the unanimous
choice of the convention.
Col. Dill did not wish to be candi-
date.
The 35th ballot decided the contest
in favor of Col. Dill, II. B. Warner
delegate.
DIR. Woodwork then made a neat
little speech in which he suggested
that Mr.. Warner name his other dele
gates and that they be elected by ac-
clamation.
This was acted on and the follow
ing we're elected: s. Thorson, E. ).

and most truly American system, that
they should have been met by loyal
American citizens in something of the
same spirit with which they were re-
PEELED twenty-five years ago; or that
in the reply to their challenge its
phraseology may have appeared to
those who forgot whom and for what
we were fighting, rather deiiant,-b
how much better this than the old
time trucking and compromising, the
remembrance of which turns one sick.
And. once more recall the fact that
this fight was not of our seeking;
yet when challenged we would have
been poltroons indeed to shirk the
contest, and in accepting il to put
before the country the issue in I'M
mstakable form, even az the risk of
offending some in the party, who were
too long anti bellum Democrats, to be
able to rid themselves of free trade
proclivities.
And now for a moment let us look
at the language of the platform; and
at the start let it be understood that
in this platform and everywhere the
Republican party pledges itself to de-
fend to the best of its ability the pro-
tective policy. There Will be no at
tempt on the part of any genuine
Republican to explain away the prom
ises or acts of the party on this ques-
ton. Still as there are honest differ
ences of opinion among the earnest
friends of protection, i'll regard to
methods and limitations, there should
be cherished temper of forbearanCe
and courtesy by all, so that by a calm
and judicial comparison of differing
views, there shall result more per-
feet system, than would be possible
by any caucus system of economics, a
method of arriving at unanimity on
important issues, which we may well
relegate to the Democrats with whom
1t certainly seems to large number
of Republicans that no fair, unStrained
construction of the phraseOlogy of the
tariff plank, prevents its lnterpreta-
ton in the light of, and in accord
with, all the party has previously said
and done or promised to do in the
future concerning this question. 1t
virtually says, The Republican party
would effect all needed reduction
by certain specified methods-among
which is the REVISION of the tariff taCS
how! why as would be expected of
Republicans IN the interest of the
protection of American industries; at
the same time enlarging the free list,
by putting into it all those imported
articles-except luxuries-that do not
endanger those industries.
Now. my dear Doctor, isn't this
reading a very different one from the
version that reads, keep the tariff as
it is, or increase it. Yet is not my
rendering in perfect cOnsOnance with
the spirit and letter of the original!
And is there anything here not in
harmony with such revision and re-
Guction of the tariff as the Republi-
cans in Congress-an and they alone
have repeatedly effected, and are
pledged again to effect, as soon as the
opportunity presents,-whieh let us
hope is not far away.

CHILDREN NOT WANTED.
4 Clerk Tells why Hotel Men Object I
Little Rows and Girls.


"Yes, indeed, We entertain a decided an
tipathy 20 children and have good reasons
for il, too" said the day clerk of high
priced hotel on upper Broadway.
. How is thatiS inquired a reporter. q
fond of children
hotel is no place for them unless it be de-
voted exclusively TO the use of families.
There are not more than half-dozen first
class hotels in this city where children are
welcome. In the first place, they are more
trouble than they are worth, and in the sec
ond place they serve TO keep away profita-
bic patrons. Now in every hotel FROM one
end of the town to the other notices are
posted in all the rooms to the effect that
children must not make playground Of the
corridors, or ride in the elevators for the
sake of enjoying pleasure excursions. IL
is impossible to inforce either rule. With
one or two exceptions New York hotels are
largely patronized by business men from
other cities. These are the transient
guests, and they are the most profitable.
They do not, as a rule, take their families,
and, although they may be fond Of their
own offspring, they decidedly object to put
upat hotel where other peoples yOun -sters
are whooping things up in the corridors,
or upsetting dishes in the dining room.
Then, again, Just think Of an old bachelor
sleeping. or trying to sleep, in a room adj
joining that occupied by a teething infant
Why. he would pay his bill and leave the
following morning. Oh. no. there is no

SLEEP, SWEET SLEEP.
The Greatest Boon Which Nature II
Given to Her Children.


Given to Her Children.
Sleep, the friend of the weary, is none
the less a capricious friend, and can not al
ways be summoned or dismissed at pleas
ure. How we sigh for her in vain some
times, as the dreary small hOurs-wOuld
they were much smaller-of the night sue
coed, and are rapidly succeeded by others
too long for tired patience, too short as
they bring US nearer and nearer TO the get
ting-up hour. And again, what an effort it
requires to shake off the drowsy mantle
which the goddess wraps around us some
times in spite of ourselves. The days task
is not finished, the lecture or the sermon is
still proc eeding, nay, the sun has not half
run its course, we have not yet dined, and
there we ere, nevertheless, overpowered
with languor, and falling hopelesly ON to
the sofa cushions asleep.
When child is overtaken with drowsi-
ness unexpectedly it can generally be al
lowed to yield to the claims of nature; the
elders are perhaps thankful to see the rest
less little mortal compelled to tranquility
for brief space. So, too, if you are not
quite well your half-hour's nap is re-
spected. But if business is waiting you,
you know yourself whatever the cause Of
your fatigue you must not sleep; the work
must be done though you have but one eye
open. Possibly you do wish Just then that
if TO do nothing we're really your destiny
you could anticipate it by commencing it at
once.
Your dog or YOUR cat dozes costly on the
hearth-rug, and you, their lord and master,
so superior in intelligence and wisdom, can
not arrange matters so as to enjoy the
same privilege when so disposed. As well
be quadruped at once!-.Hanchester Guar
