Mr.. BLAINE says when he reaches home
he will make good many speeches in favor
OF the republican Presidential ticket. To
do so he must necessarily speak we'll of the
platform on which that ticket rests. But to
do that Mr.. Blaine will not break his record
for inconsistency, for he once favored lower
tariff than that of the Mills bill, and is on
recent record as utterly opposed to the re-
peal of the whisky tax.

The NEW YORK regiment recently on
visit to Virginia acknowledge that they were
treated while in this State as Hospitality as
they could possibly have been in their own.
And yet they repaid that hospitality by
carrying off with them valuable setter dog,
and the skeleton of Confederate they
found in their search of the battle fields of
Manassas. There are many modes of re-
quitting hospitable treatment; but it must be
agreed on all hands that such as the one re-
ferred to is not the most commendabe.

The HIGHEST tariff Henry Clay or any
other old time protectiopist ever dreamed
of. when the industries of this country we're
really infants, and may possibly have re-
quired protection, was long way under
that provided by the Mills bill; and set the
republicans call the bill referred to free
trade bill. But reckesspess of assertion is
a republican characteristic.

MIR. CABLE, who left the sunny South for
the more congenial cline of Massachusetts,,
says the Southern negroes should lose IF

for them by the result Of that war; and Fred

he is better man than the former, for nat.

THE TORY bill now before the British
parliament 10 remove the few remaining
restrictions on suffrage in England, will,
should it pass, complete the democracy OF
that country. Eogland will then be under
the entire and complete control of the
majority of the people of that country,
through III ir representatives in the Houee
of Co nmons. In this country the will
of the people can be successfully op'
posed by the Senate, the President. and the
Supreme Court; but in England there is no
power that can sutc sssfuly oppose the
House of Commons-it5 will is the supreme
law of the land. The American President
has more ndisputable authority than any
European ruler, except. possibly, the Car of
Russia, would dare exercise.

SENATOR HoAR, who says the low tariff
bill is conspiracy between the ex-reoels
and the B.ilsb," also says that sums as
large as fifty thousand dollars ofthe peoples
money can be bestowed as gifts upon the
widows of northern civilians under the gen
ersl welfare clause of the Constitution. To
the modern leaders of the republican party
general welfare" Ia as servceabe as high
or law" was to their predecessors. But if
they be allowed their way, the Constitution
may as we'll be abolished at once, for there
is nothing easier to them than the assertion
that their moat partisan and sectional meas
ures are for the general welfare.

Representative Mills says of the
Chicago platforms; SIT is a very
bold declaration of the policy of the
Republicans, They have put their
party up for free whisky rather than
for a reduction in the price of the
necessities oflife, 1t is the triumph
of Kelley and the Pennsylvania idea
oyer the Republicans of the West
and Northwest. The Republican
party is now thoroughly committed
to free whisky and to free trade in
whisky, and against any popular
reduction in the customs and duties
for the benefit OF the people. The
country knows exactly where the
Republicans stand. There can be
no installing the issue this cam
paign. We gladly accept the decla-
ration of principles that has come
from Chicago"
