In the midst of the Astounding political ex-
sitement of the day every one can well afford
10 pause for moment of rejoicing over the
decision of Justice Lawrence, UNFOLDING the
will of Samuel j. Tilden. The disputed clauses
we're those relating TO the establishment of the
ridden Trust and the founding of free library
and nading-room in this city. 1t would be
passing strange ii the intentions of so shrewd
and far-seeing lawyer as Mr.. TIlden should
fail of execution through weak point In his
will. That Justice Lawrence finds no weak
boint will cause great qualification in the city
which is to be the beneficiary of this muniiicent
legacy.

The Republican campaign in this State is
certainly not languishing when three speakers
like MIR. Blaine, Warner Miller and Major Nc
Kinley are heard in it's borders in one
syening. Mr.. Blaine spoke in Buffalo, Mr.
Miller at Amsterdam (after speeches in the
course of the day at Johnstown and Cana
ioharie), and the Ohio Congressman at the
Palace Rink in Brooklyn. 1t goes without say
ing that there were large audiences in all three
places. Republican enthusiasm is at high
pitch throughout the State, and will continue
10 increase during the next fortnight. And
what is better, there is plenty Of good, honest
work, too.
, The Democratic nominations in Kings County
are noteworthy in one respect. The conven-

outlined the paramount issue as protection,
against the free trade message of Mr.. Cleve-
land, by which the Democratic party must
stand or fall The real Republican platform
would be the response to the presidential
message that came across the ocean as swift
ly as the telegraph could bring it." He re-
ferred to the prominent Republican names
now before the country, including Blaine,
Hawley, Platt and Depew, and in the grand
rounds of candidates Chauncey NJ Depew's
name was appauded almost as vociferously
as Blaine's In concluding he said that if
none of the numerous presidential candidates
can be nominated and the convention should
say to James G. Blaine: "You must again
be our standard bearer, and this time we will
carry it to the White House." there is not a
Republican voter who would not in his heart
