Nomore impressive evidence OF the trans
formation of parties now in progress could
be furnished than is afforded by the COM
ments upon the Republican platform else
where reprinted from the Christian Union
of this city, and the AdrdRee and Standard
of Chicago-three of the most prominent
and influential among the religious papers
of the country. The Christian Union,
although undenominational, is edited by
Congregationalists, while the Adrdnee Is
the chief Western organ Of the Baptists.
All three papers are edited by men of Re-
publican antecedents, and would naturally
side with party of moral ideas" but all
three find it impossible to support the Re-
publican platform of extravaganza and free
whisky. The Standard, expressing, as 1t
believes, ''the general sentiment Of Chris
tian people, heartily tired of whisky rule. "
indorses the opinion of the Chicago Tn
bune that the iree-whisky plank will lose
the Republicans hundreds of thousands

The Democrats are Right.


The Journal believes that upon this
question the tariff issue) the Democratic
policy and platform are right and the Re
publican policy and platform are wrong
1t had hoped that the party in convention
would declare for a reasonable revision OF
the tariff in the line Of a reduction in the
case of the necessaries of life, the relief OF
manufacturers, = more open market and a
practical revival of our commerce. 1t mas
not done so. The Democratic party has.
1t is a question of national policy overshad-
owing all others. The Journal is not blind
to the shortcomings Of the administration
of President Cleveland. Bat 1t
must take things az it finds them, choosing
what it believes TO be the right side of the
main issue, preierring principle to party,
practical wisdom to local popularity, and
standing for what it believes to he the best
welfare of the whole country.

GEN. GORDON says Of the Gettysburg
reunion: There was no limit to the good
feeling and esteem that the men who
fought on opposite sides at Gettysburg
twenty-five years ago showed toward each
other. They eheered without discrimina-
ton each speaker, no matter what the
speaker might have thought, in years gone
By, was the proper policy for ruling this
country. And thus the boys got together
in groups and talked over the Gettysburg
fight rs only men who have been in great
war can, alter the lapse Of years, fight
their battles over" FoEAKER should get
out an injunction sgEinst this sort Of
thing.

the 4th, and has been under the doctors
care ever since, threatened with fever.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad shop
hands here have been put on eight hours

last long. The Republicans will blame
Cleveland and Democracy with it.

Sounds Onnineus.

"Tippecanos and Morton too" as a
rhyme for the campaign would be unplsss-
antly ominous. 1t would bring to mind
the fatal combination Of "Tippecanoe and
Tyler too in 1910, which wrecked in an
hour the most triumphant party that ever
stepped into power in the nation, and
turned to ashes the fruits of q victory fairly
earned, and from the realization Of which
much had been expected. To recall it now
is to recall q spectre Of despair. What has
the present Gen. Harrison to do with the
victory of Tippecanoe, anyway. 1t was an
Indian skirmish fought twenty years be-
fore he was born. He has been soldier
on his own account since, and should have
deeds of his own to rely upon rather than
be compelled to fall back upon the glories
of his grandfather.

A FEW PRIVATE PENSION BILLS
Ga no question connected with the ad-
ministration OF President CLEEELAND has
there been more misrepresentation By his
enemies than in regard to pensions HIS
vetOes have been held up to the Union vet

their claims and his ingratitads for their

too succeeded Last year in stirring up the
TUrTLE scandal in the Grand Army BY
ssnaking use Of the Presidents vetOeA The
Republican press raDg the changes on these
vetOes, and Republican stumpspeaksrs s1-

not even the harsst acknowledgment Of
the fact that the President bad signed
more pension bills than any Of his prede-

out in pensions By the Democratic admin

Of the veterans than bad gone before.

ssely after the knife has fallen has been
tried over again at Bone, France. The
