WattersOn VS.. Watterson

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat: This
new platform, which Mr.. Watterson
helped to frame, charges in effect that The
reduction of taxation has been prevented
by the opposition of the Republicans in
congress, but that is not the way Mr..
Watterson has been talking in bis news
paper. Or the very day that the conven-
ton assembled, he said: "Four years
have passed with Democrats in control of
the executive departments. working
majority 10 the house of representatives
and a tie in the senate. and yet in these
four years the Democrats have failed to
pass through the lower house bill 'to
relieve the people from war taxes which
have paralized business, crippled industry
and deprived labor of employment and
lust reward What mockery it would
be for a national Democratic convention
in 1888 to denounce the Republican par
~ for a failure to reduce crushing war
taxes!" We appeal from Mr.. Watterson
the orator to Mr.. Watterson the editor
The thing which he declared in his latter
capacity would be mockery, now thai
it has been done, he celebrates ia his
other capacity as signal example Of
courage and propriety.

WATERFOWL. WIS.,, JUNE 10. 1888.
The ST. Louis Ticket.

The st. Louis convention last week
nominated Grover Cleveland for presi-
dent and Allan G. Thurman, of Ohio, for
vice-president. The selection of Cleve-
land was no surprise to the country.
Four years ago--Mr. Cleveland placed in
openly in his letter of acceptance that b 9
was opposed to the second term principle,
and that the denomination of any man to
the presidency was full of danger and a
menace to republican institutions. No
sooner was Mr.. Cleveland indicted into
the executive chair, however, before he
commenced using every means at his COM
mand to secure a second term, showing
that he was not honest in the sentiments
80 vehemently expressed.
The choice of Thurman, it may be said,
gives tone of character to the ticket it
might not otherwise possess, but it adds
no strength to it. Thurman's name does
not make Ohio doubtful state, as was
expected, the Republicans being certain
to hold it with or without Thurman y
nomination. Thurman is a tottering old
man now in his 18th year, and has, ap-
parently, to judge from his speeches since
the nomination, entered the dotage period
"a very discouraging prospect, in case of
bis election, il anything should happen
to the president. Under the circum-
stances, the country generally interprets
the nomination of Thurman as an evil
dence of weakness rather than that of
force ard strength, and Republicans are
eminently well satisfied, believing fully
that the nomination of Gray or Dickin-
son would have given them far more trou-
BILE to eircumvent and succeed against

Misses Victoria and Amalia and Mr. and Mrs.
Chamberlain, were Admiral ]. H. Upshur g. N,

prominent Englishmen who left to-day kept
strictly to the seclusion of their staterooms and
positively declined to be interviewed.
