has not been idle, and judging from the
sentiments expressed by the advance
guard he will hayea larger following
than he has been given credit for. Now
that the white heat Of the Thurman
boom has been passed cooler party lead
ers are wagging their heads in doubt
full way as to the propriety Of calling the
OLD. Roman to battle again.
The New York Tribune has special
from st. Louis containing an interview
with Senator German and ex-senator
Henry &. Davis. German, when asked
who wouldbe nominated for Vice-Presi-
dent, said:
Thurman will DO nominated. That
cannot be prevented"
"But Maryland is not for Thurman, as
was developed by the meeting OF your
State delegation this afternoon"
"rhat IS true; Maryland has always
been for Indiana, Us that State has al
ways favored US. But Thurman's name
has caused whirlwind. We can no
more stop 1t that we could have stopped
Hendricks four years ago, had We OPP
posed it.
"What about the PLATFORM"
ave are here to win. There will be
no details. There will DO a general dc:
mand for reduction OF slOO,OOO,0OO OF
revenue, but the details will be left
where they belong-to Congress"
"Will Democratic protectionists be
ignOrcd? 2"
"No, indeed; we are here to win. We
declare principle and the party in Con-
grcss must work out the details"
"Who will be on the Committee on
Resolutions from your State"
81 shall probably be on that commit
tee"
Just then came up ex-senator Davis,
Of West Virginia, delegate-at-large from
his state, with his close.cropped beard
and Close-shaven upper lip. He looked
MS keen MS he always proves himself.
He was asked:
Senator, how is West Virginia on the
Vice. Prcsidency%

gates have not yet arrived. cannot
predict their feelings. Thurman's age
Is against him. Gray Is very popular.
"How about the platform2"
"AIy judgment is that it will be about
the same as that OF 'S4. There will be
no details. We are all for revenue re-

Mr.. Gorman's assertion that the Dem
ocratic protectionists would not be ig
.nored is rather interesting when Ran
dali, the leader Of that faction, hai
refused to attend the convention ant
thus ignored it. What hope has eve
been held out to the Democratic pro
tectionists that they would be recog
nized? With Randall at home Col
Watterson and his free trade contingen

Taking all these things into considera

Ntv York TRIBUNE.
Every general election is at bottom q
test Of the intelligence, the common
honesty, and the patriotic feeling OF the
people. Every National Convention,
therefore, in which either party pre-.
pares for Presidential election, is test
Of TINT party's measure Of the peoples
Intelligence, honesty and patriotism.
II the party aims too low, judges the
people 10 be mainly fools or knaves, it
risks defeat. That is the mistake which
cheap demagogues are constantly max
ing, lit aims too high, Crediting the
people with more intelligence than the
majority OF voters possess, or with more
straightforward honesty OF purpose and
hatred of deceit, or with more Of ardent
zeal for the welfare and honor ofthe
country aud readiness to forego private
advantage for public good, it also runs
the risk Of defeat. But that is fault
which the Democratic party has never
and the Republican purity has rarely
committed, for all demagogues and many
practical politicians are prone to under
rate the people. ~
HThis year the Prohibitionists and the
advocates OF woman suffrage have joined
forces. There is a characteristics admix-
ture Of sense and folly in this Combina-
tion--just that admixture to which COM
mon sense people instinctively apply
the term of "crank." The men who
have practical sense and patriotic feel
ing In many things, but no others are
no better than lunatiCs, need private
ticket just US every well regulated coun-
ty needs its insane asylum, The politi-
cal prohibitionist who puts up Nation
al ticket, knowing that it can have no
other rational purpose than to elect
Grover Cleveland and to place the rum
party in power, lacks common honesty,
and imagines that voters lack common
sense, The sincere believer in female
suffrage, who consents TO ally himself

The tariff issue, MS the Tribune long
ago warned Mr.. George and his assoc
ciates, has broken to pieces what was ex-
pected TO be labor party. The extreme
and radical free traders, like Mr.. George
himself, hold it their duty TO do their
utmost for Mr.. Cleveland, because he
has done his utmost for their cause. An
overwhelming majority of the labor vo-
tiers, realizing thatthe tariff issue is more
important to their interests MS wage
earners than any other which can be af-
fected by their votes this year, will re-
fuse 70 throw away those votes on side
issues. II they do believe in free trade,
they will help the Democratic party,
with practical shrewdness recognizing
that n vote for Mr.. Cleveland may count,
while a vote for any third, fourth or fifth
candidate will not count ut all. II they
believe in protection, common sense will
equally prompt them to vote directly for
Republican candidates. Other phases
OF the labor question will have to wait,
whether they wish it or not, because
nine-tenths OF the people intend to set
tie the tariff question first.

TIE shooting afEray that occurred
early yesterday morning at u certain
resort east of Bridgeport, Ohio, was
not unexpected. The character OF the
resort and those who patronize il
has long been known to the Ohio
authorities, and that they have allowed
it the license it has enjoyed has been 9
matter OF some surprise. This tragedy
may awaken them to sense OF duty
and, ifnot, twill perhaps teach a lesson
to those who have been frequenting the
place.

No book will be looked for with more
interest than the memoirs of Sheridan,
which, it is understood, were completed
and in the hands OF the printer before his
death. 1t will contain the full story of
his romantic and picturesque life, and
will relate from a different standpoint the
history of those great battles with which
all Americans are now familiar, says the
Chicago Herald
No branch of literature has so much
fascination for the general reader as mill
taIy memoirs. The story of a great
soldier is more charming than any novel
From the days of Julius Caesar until now
the plain and simple variations of the
great generals have held the foremost
place in the public memory, and have
been among the most valued contribu-
tons to history. Almost all the great
soldiers the world has known have left
such records behind them-Cesar, Fred
erick. Napoleon, Wellington in his dis
patches, Marmont. ST. Cyr, Napier,
Sherman, Grant, and nov Sheridan.
There is no reason why Sheridan's me-
moirs should not prove nearly, if not
quite, as popular as Grants. He was a
picturesque figure in the war, and the bat
ties he won had many distinctive Napo-
leonic qualities. He did not possess the
grand repose and i~mpassiveness of Grant,
but he had all the t%enacity of purpose,
combined with a gseater inspiration for
the situation, and this often led to much
more brilliant combinations IN the field.
But however it may rank liz comparison
with Sherman's or Grant memoirs, it
will be undoubtedly a work of lasting in
terest and a valuable contribution to the
history of the war.
