while on pretty much everything else the pro-
gramme is cut and dried. There will be some
thing of interest in the makeup of the Com
mittee on Resolutions. The actual work OF
making platform will fall upon sub-com-
mittee, of which Messrs German, WaNerson,
Cooper and Morrison are set down as likely
to be members. Our correspondents say That
the platform will be as colorless and meaning
less as it can well be made; and the Democratic
party's capacity in this direction has been ex-
emplifed many times.

I'VE have exposed the outrage of oflce-holding
interference in caucuscs and elections, and while
it is not rcmedied it is discrcditcd denounced and
greatly diminished Thus saith Mr.. Curtis in his
address to the Civil Service Reform League. But
the trouble is that this interference is not dis
credited and denounced in the hight quarters. Not
Democratic convention has been held this
spring to elect delegates to st. Louis which has
not been attended by Federal oficeholders, some
Of whom have been selected rs delegates, and in
several cases the presence and influence Of office
holders were So pronounced and notorious that
they may be said to have been the convention.
All this is directly In contravention not only of
the Presidents principles frequently announced,
but in direct violation of his orders Thus the
whole idea of non-interfsrence by office holders
in political mana cement has been brought into
contempt, and the desirable reform has received
blow from which it Will take a long time to
recover Mr.. Curtis did not favor us with the
whole truth.
The Hydrographic Office has In preparation

its terrific violence at sea and the wide area
which it covered, it was one of the most notable
storms Of the century in the North Atlantic.

The "New-Yort Evening POST practically
admitted last week, in a review of the political
situation, that the chances were against Mr..

organs, and that it has steadily laborcd for his
denomination, this confession OF his weakness
before the people Is rather noteworthy. The

Such Democratic delegates as arrived in St.
Louis before yesterday must have an exceed
ingly poor opinion Of that city. There was no
liquor to be obtained yesterday for love or
money. The rigid restrictive law was enforced
alike against the just and the unjust, and in
fuencen was of no avail. This was truly de-
plorable situation for cons: derabe section Of
the Democratic party and the agony could only
have been increased by the accounts received
of other delegations on their way to st. Louis
in palatial cars, with An abundant supply Of
whiskey, champagne and beer st. Louis is
not likely to be a favorite place for the con-
yention next time, unless there is change in
the law.

Mr.. Humans reported deliyerance on the
Eice-Prcsdential question is that he will not
take the nomination unless it comes to him
without struggle. According to our dis
patches from st. Louis, there are numerous
signs Of a struggle, and some Of the delegates
ALREADY on the ground think that Thurman may
be dropped altogether before vote is taken.
He is spoken of as man on the edge OF the
grave, and nothing but sentiment Is declared to
be behind the movement in favor OF his nomi-
nation. Thus far the Democrats are very
much at sea over the second place on the ticket

The columns which we devote this morning
TO letters on the political situation. will be
found full of timely and interesting sugges-
tons AS is its custom, The Tribune gives
hearing to people of all views, and the friends
OF half dozen or more Of the statesmen talked
Rbout for the Republican nomination have
chance to make known their feelings and de-
sires. The most striking and suggestive Of the
series of letters is that Of the venerable Oliver
johnson, who meTcicssly points out the incon-
sistency and unwisdorn of the Mugwumps' sup
port Of the party Of "plunder and spoils," and
rightly insists that the only hope for Civil Ser
vice Reform is in placing it in the hands of the
Republican party. Dir. Johnsons closing words
will be Endorsed heartily by the Republican
masses" Our candidate must be one whom Re-
publicans want. not one who is wanted by the
enemies Of Mr.. Blaine"

 Two new members were mustered in, viz, Comrades Norman D. Cakes and w. H. Fields, both residents of South Canaan: thus it appears that the Post has new field (Field) and live oaks (Oakes) but while said Field and Cakes were mustered in, they were not mustard and peppered in, or within, or even soured, for the commissary forgot to bring the bottle of vinegar to disappear with the delicious baked pork and beans, coffee and crackers which were attacked and surrounded before the meeting adjourned.

Gifts-for each child wsre received from kind lady in Norfolk and also from one in Canaan, and a thoughtful gentleman in East Canaan remembered each little one.
