The Republicans would have done
better to cook up a platform out OF
Blaine's message in answer to the Prcsi
dents. 1t would have had more spirit
and posi.ivcness in it than the schedule
on which 1t is proposed to run the CON
Germ.
Though the platform is Enthusiastically
In favor Of extreme protection it has no
ring 1t lacks the directness and conf
dence Of the utterances of the Democratic
platform in. vindication of the policy
OF tax reduction and tariff revision as up
held IN President Cleveland's message
and embodied in the Mills bill 1t talks
about the destruction Of the Ameri'
can system Of protection by the
President and his party charges them
with serving the interests Of Europe ;
denounces the Mills bill as destructive
to the general business, the labor and tie
farming interests Of the country" and
has separate condemnation Of free wool.
But it is dumb about free trade" and
about the wages of labor" which the
Democratic reduction of taxation and
cheapening of the necessities of life
were to cut down 10 the rate Of the
"pauper labor of Europe" as the Re-
publicans have been preaching.
The idea to reduce the surplus by first
taking the tax from whisky when the
poor man is grooming under taxes on his
clothes Is really Republican.
Cheaper clothes first and cheaper
whisky afterwards Is what the Demo
Gratis say.
But one of the most salient points in
the platform Is the contrast between the
protection clauses and the other that
makes show of reducing taxes and re-
vising the tariff.
We should say from this that the Re-
publicans are conscious Of division in
their ranks on the tariff question.

None Of the experiments recorded By

eleven times ont of seventeen, that he

yellow was added To red and green, and
soon it became his fayorte coior In the
10th week he answered right on yellow
twenty-three times out OF twenty eight.

hard for the boy 10 distinguish, especially
after violet and gray had been brought in.

old he bad, 50 to say. quite repertoire u
.colors, and could distinguish yellow, red,
brown and violet right = at almost every
trial. Green. blue and orange puzzled
him. Indeed, lie was not sure OF these
until lie was years old The exact or
der in which he learned to pick out the
colors with some precision was as follows;
yellow, brown, red. yiolct, black rose
orange, gray, green, blue.

BLAINE's BOON. .

The Blaine boom was taken 10 Chicago
muffled. but richly ornamented with
cooue,tish and coy refusals. AT one
time Il burst out and bloomed. and then
seemed TO have been chilled by the uncer-
ts,pty of It's nurses. But 1t survived all its
trials. and the more candidates entered
the field The stronger the boom grew,
while Sherman was tossed on the pillows
of enthusiasm, and the small fry bobbed
about will bloom here and there in the
storms that SHOOK the convention.
All this time Mr. Blaine was ION the
borders of Scotland with Carnegie.
Rumors of another letter, and of Gail
Hamilton and Carnegie were flying Ike
kites with ragged tails, until at last Car
negie wrote that "if the Republican parry
finds it cannot agree upon lealer and
then calls upon its former leader to lead
again, it goes without saying that 1t
would be his duty to do so, land Mr.
Blaine has never failed to do his duty
more especially since it is now clear that
the campaign is TO be fought upon the
issue of protection versus free trade, the
former Of which Mr.. Blaine feels to hc
essential to his country's prosperity"
When that hypothesis fiuttered down
on the convention the boom began TO
show itself again, and every time yester-
day that a slight falling off in the Sh'r
man vote was noted it WAS sign that
Blaine was ready to suddenly spring
forth, fully armed and plumed, and carry
the convention by stampede When
the convention decided 10 adjourn last
night after Depew Withdrew, the Blaine
boom was the next order of the day.

THEIR PARTY SPIRIT.


parent Endorsement by the Chicago Con
vention will bring the people OF the
North to consider the direct question OF
the eternal continuance Of the bloody
shirt issue as a plea for the Republican
party and lis principles. The violent
passion and prejudice Of the speaker
evidently reflected the sentiments OF tic
mob he addressed, and the harrangue ans
| the scene recalled the Jacobin meeting :
in the days when French Republicans
went crazy with riot and revolution.
The President Of the United States
was denounced as not being agentle-
man, and the convention applauded the
wanton insult coming from the Gov
crnor of State. Along with decia-
ration for protection and war taxes CONF
the hackneyod, but still enveno med TRADE
against the South for suppressing the
ballot simply because the Republicans
cannot carry the vote of all the Southern
States in bag at Washington the way
Malone did Virginia.
The Herald remarks that Mr.. Foraker
Is an able leader, and his followers appaT-
emily intend to follow his policy. IT So
there is a more serious question than that
of the tariff before us. 1t is question
of freedom or slavery to Federal bayonets
directed by Blaine or Sherman, or any
other chief whom the Republican party
might elect.
And it Is not too early for the people
of Virginia to reflect upon the grave
character of such probability.
Under such a policy as Foraker's ad
ministered by Malone or Wise, the Fed
eral Judge in Virginia might pack tie
jury with the aid of court officer OF
any color or character, and send the PMS
oner to Albany penitentiarv after con
victing him Of bogus trial for 4
trumped.up offense such as bull
doing voters. The bowling mob
at Chicago is by far the wort
political convention that ever sat
in this country, and its PEI
formsnces are timely warniI 6
against the risks We iun in an election
that NAV put US in the hands Of such
men. With the scenes that We have re-
ferred TO to picture aud voice the senti
ments of the Republican party, we do
not hesitate to say that should that party
win the presidency the condition of this
State would be as deplorable as anything
we feared in 1888 We have seen Gill
zen hauled up before Federal court and
threatened by Mr.. John Wise with the
Albany prison, and have witnessed The
Indignation of the people at the outrage.
The charge was DISTINGUISHING voters.
But another Danville massacre could he
manufactured on paper, as many people
as happened to offend the Republican
scalawags could be tried with worse
judges and less fear, and the entire state
would be dominated to the will OF the
petty little tyranls whom Blaine would
bring into power. This is the main point
in Virginia politics just now, taken with
the fact that the two present judg's
might retire or die during The incoming
Administration, and leave one or both
places to be filled by Blaine minion.
