LOUISVILLE, June :. - The Courier
Journal says, editorially, to-day: "This
work of reformation, of restoration, of re.
generation was, four years ego, committed

country only by his labor as the governor
of New York. Because of his faithfulness,
because of his courage, because of his
power as an executive officer, because he
has laid bare abuses in every department
and mas marked out policy far reaching
and comprehensive, which the democratic
party must execute, Mr.. Cleveland has
again been chosen as our standard bearer
with an enthusiasm ard unanimity
never before witnessed in the his
tory Of the parties Of this country.
For vice-presideut the people,
speaking in tones that could not be mis-
understood, have called from his retire
ment Allen &. Thurman, of Ohio. It is
an honor not Of MS seeking; an honor.

continued confidence and esteem, but it is
g call to continued service by the party
which through long life he mas coun-
selled and led, ard coming in an old age,
rich in dgnitie=, is less q command than
an appeal that IN tie great contest Just
before Us he gives to those in the field
final evidence of his fellowship, mis- sym
patty ard his support, The only
!Oint at which, during the
past four years, the democratic
party has been stayed in its work of re-
form, is where the republican party has
entreuched itself behind the war tariff.
No doubt any longer exists in the mind of
any man as to the purposes of the demo-
cratic party towards the tariff. Whatever
doubt may have existed as to the meaning
of any phrase Of that instrument, the
platform, is removed by the declaration
that the. party reiterates those declara-
tions. as interpreted by the message of
Mr.. Cleveland and the subsequent ap-
proval of the action of the democrats in
congress, who, for four years have labored
to give force and effect to the promises of
1884. In the platform We have in words |
50 plain that he who runneth |
may read the faith of the |
the democratic party declared. 1t is a
faith to live by and 10 die by-not to be |
charged with the charging times and

but, through good ard evil reports-in |
times of darkness and storm, or of calm
and peace-it is one to stand by with |
courage and constancy.

CINCINNATI, June S.-The Commercial |
Gazette says, editorially, to-day:
ALLEN G. Thurman Is avenged. The |
hopes Of the democratic party in Ohio |
who have bought and sold the party for
many years, have made it special point
to stand in the way Of the national
leadership OF Thurman, because he
would not allow them to make merchan-
disc of him
The editorial attacks the platform, and
says its union plank must have made the
devil laugh.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1888-06-14

At the conclusion of the reading of the
platform, MI. Watterson addressed the
convention:
Fellow democrats" he said, Eve bring
you platform on which democrats may
stand without feeling that they are away
from home. Laughter and applause.
10 embraces declaration of
principles to which democrats can sub
scribe without looking around the corner.
Applause and laughter. II embodies
statement of facts incontrovertlble. 1t
delocalizes the cause of reform. Its face
is set in the right direction, and its eyes
look over the rising, not the setting, sun.
Applause. Henceforward the demo
cratic party, which has been the voice of
the people, viii become its hands
Applause but it will be the hands of
construction, not the hands of destruc-
ton, and will remove the occupants from
the house before it has taken off the roof.

had been admitted from the

THE MODERN GREEK.

Seen to Best Advantage Not in Athens,
but in Constantinople.
Nobody who has known Athens for long,
or who knows the real resources Of the coun-
try of which she is the capital can be disap-
pointed with the progress made. Few cities
have improved more during the last twenty
years The government has introduced COM
pulsory education on a most extensive scale;
railroads are being opened; drainage and the
planting of trees have received great atten-
ton, and the sudden breeze of patriotism
which has lately passed over Greece and puz-
zled Europe viii doubtless bear its fruits in
greater unity of purpose. Perhaps the real
evil which, more than anything else, has
checked the progress of Greece during the
last half century has been its constitutional
government.
There are many Cavours in Greece Tri-
coupis is a Cavour with English ideas, bur
unfortunately Greece is not ruled over by
Victor Emmanuel, nor has she yet produced
Garibaldi. Everybody in the small king
dom is, as of old, a politician, and the conse-
Quence of this is that ministries rise and fall
and elections take place with a rapidity
which might even astonish us. The one
point on which all Greeks are agreed and
which has been taught them by late events i9
this: that if they are to hold their own in the
Balkan peninsula they must have more terri
tory. They crave for the fertile plains of
Epirus and Macedonia, for something that
will give them chance of development and
the means of existence on large scale. The
place where the Greek is seen to the greatest
advantage is not at Athens, where mass meet
ings will one day cheer for Delyannis and the
next for Tricoupis, but at Constantinople.
There he is, SO to speak, on the defensive,
living in the midst of the great destroyer of
bis race and freedom. Here his commercial
propensities have brought him to the fore.
The ''unspeakable Turk" who loves money,
but hates making it as bitterly as he hates
the Greek, who can make it, has given him
IN return for money everything that he asks.
This has enabled the Greeks to attack the
Turks with the above mentioned weapon of
education. Concessions for Greek schools all
over the rotten empire have been literally
bought; there is scarcely Greek village in
Macedonia, Epirus, the islands and the coast
villages of Asia Minor which has not been
supplied with schools for both girls and BOYS,
either through the munifcence Of Greeks or
through the clerical and monastic influence
which in its day has played so valiant part
in the conservation of the Hellenic language
and the Christian religion-Cor Fortnightly
