THE CHICAGO CONVENTION

1HE CH1CdUO CON FDN AAOH'
Cherries of hope and altogether void of
enthusiasm the Republican National Con-
vention at Chicago finished up its work on
Monday last by nominating Benjamin Har-
rison, of Indiana, for President and Levi p.
Morton, of New York, for Vice-President.
Mr.. Harrison was no dark horse, he is
well known to the country, having served
a full term in the United States Senate
Whilst in the Senate, as in the politics of
his State, he loomed up as keen, vigilant
and bitter partisan. He is party man
without any of the characteristics Of states
man, man of strong will and thorough
going high tariff protectionist. In every
sense of the word he represents the present
spirit of his party, its mad resolution to
maintain and keep the taxes high and reck-
lessly to spend the the surplus revenues,
and to resist tariff reform on extreme pro-
tectionist grounds.
Mr.. Morton Is well and favorably known
in the State OF New York and has for some
years been prominent in his party. He has
amassed a large fortune in the banking
business He made an intelligent and ac-
tive Representative in Congress and was
sufficiently prominent In his party to be
offered the Vice Presidency in 1880 and
cabinet place in 1881, and for some years
represented this country as Minister to
France, where he is said to have been de-
cidedly popular. Like Mr.. Harrison, he is in
every sense OF the word high protectionist,
and thus is in perfect and thorough harmony
and sympathy with the spirit of his party
ON this question.
With these nominations the country is
launched upon Presidential canvass in
which, for the first time in many years,
every voter may rightfully take the liveliest
interest. The question now presented to
the people is other than that of mere ques-
ton of persons or Of party spoils, the issue
on which both parties appeal to the people
is one which directly affects the pockets of
every citizen, his comfort and welfare,
The time is ripe for the people TO consider
how and how much they want to be taxed.
No side issues of personal character and fit
ness need be brought into the canvass,
Cleveland and Thurman, Harrison and Nor
ton are honorable and upright men.
President Cleveland and the Democratic
party stand for reform of the tariff and the
abolition of surplus taxation. They appeal
to the voters on this policy. Mr.. Harrison
and the Republican party stand for high
tariff, free whiskey and low wages. Be-
tween these two radically opposing policies
the voters must choose in November. OF
the result we have no fear.

Humbug in the Republican Platform.

The Republican platform is about as full
of misstatements OF fact and audacious
bounces as usual, and that is saying much
1t could not say good word for Phil
Sheridan without claiming him as its own.
"We also recall with our greetings, and with
prayer tor his recovery, the name of one OF
oar living heroes" Does Phil Sheridan
vote the Republican ticket, or the Demo-
cratic? Who knows or cares2
"With that hostility to all forms of des
potism or oppression, which is the founda-
mental idea of the Republican party" The
fundamental idea, eh? We thought there
had been no question about the fundamen-
tai idea of the Republican party since it was
formulated by Webster Flanagan, of Texas.
"We declare our hostility to the introduc-
ton into this country of foreign contract
labor and of Chinese labor, alien to our CIV
ilizations and our Constitution" Hostile
Just before an election, when the electoral
votes of the Pacific States are wanted.
When the Chinese Restriction bill was up
in the Forty-seventh Congress more Repub-
licans in the House voted against it than
for it. Nearly two-thirds of all the Repub-
lcan Representatives either voted against the
bill or lodged. In the Senate only one Re-
publican Senator not from the Pacific coast
voted to restrict Chinese immigration
Every vote against the bill was RepuDll-
can vote. Fourteen Republican Senators
lodged Fifteen voted mo hostility to the
introduction of Chinese labor" and among
these fifteen were Allison, Harrison, Haw-
ley, ingalls,, and John Sherman.
In the Territories, 'all officers should be
selected from the bona fide residents and
citizens of the Territory wherein they are
to serve" Like Gov. Bill Bum, of Idaho,
for example, and the cologne-scented Schuy-
Ter Crosby in Montana, and an army of other
Republican appointees to high office in the
Territories.
1--WE pledge tho Republican party to stamp
out the wickedness of polygamy" in Utah.
So did the Republican platform of 1876
twelve years ago. The polygamous Nor
mon is a safe target to shy stuffed bricks at.
But the grand bounce, so to speak, of the
Republican platform Of 1888 is contained in
the traditional paragraph concerning free
ballot and an honest count. The party
which in 1876 deprived the white voters of
Louisiana and Florida of their right of suf-
frage, and which in 1877 counted in and
seated the uneected candidates, "reaflirms
its answering devotion to the supreme and
sovereign right of every lawful citizen, white
or black, to cast one free ballot in public cleo
tions and to have that ballot duly counted. "
The same old face grins behind the same
old mask.--N. r. Sun.

NONE TOO EARLY.

The two great parties have made their
nominations for President and Vice Presi-
dent-the issue has been made and it is
therefore none too early for the organiza-
ton of Democratic clubs.
An untiring and intelligent use of such
clubs is the best means of reaching the nu-
merous voters whose minds are now pretty
well prepared to hear the arguments upon
which the Democratic party asks suffrages
for Cleveland and Thurman.
Throughout the State there is the most
brilliant opportunity for talented young
Democrats. The campaign is of the sort to
fill a bright young man with warm interest
and to make him the most valuable part of
the Democratic work. The campaign is
one of principles and the representatives of
principle on the national ticket are men of
strength and Of honorable careers. The
Democratic party offers progress. 1t looks
to the future Of the country. Trade, agri.
culture and labor are to be lifted up by its
success. The free movement Of the indi-
vidual toward wealth or power or culture,
as he may elect, is cardinal point of its
doctrine. Educated young men will feel
the temptation to pour out the vigor of their
spirits for the cause of general good against
combination OF special class interest, the
cause against complete slavery to mon
eyed aristocracy.
In Maryland there is in the reward some.
thing to kindle ambition. The young man
will have fair field, and il he shows his
ability to lead and his spirit to arouse he
will become leader. The Democratic party
is, under Cleveland and Thurman, the party
of aggression. The Republican party is in
rapid decay. Young Democrats with the
political extract who succeed in impressing
themselves upon the campaign this year
will be borne into early prominence in the
councils OF the controlling national party.
In a few more years the elements which
now compose the Republican party will be
under the necessity of seeking new ali-
ances Then the solid young Democrats Of
Maryland will be the lights of the control-
ing party of the State.

Monopolists and controllers of railroad
syndicates and trusts are Repub licans be-
cause they owe their existence to the Re-
publican party. Until that party came into
power there was never such thing known
as monopoly, railroad syndicate or a
trust. They cannot thrive except under un-
just and oppressive laws, beneficial only to
the few. The Chicago convention was
congregation of monopolist, railroad syndi-
cate agents and managers of trusts, who
through their tools, the office seekers, di-
rected its whole proceedings.

ports of such articles as are produced by
our people, the production of which gives
employment to our labor, and release from
import duties those articles of foreign pro-
duction Except luxuries) the like of which
cannot be produced at home. If there shall
remain larger revenue than is requisite for
the wants of the government we favor the
entire repeal of internal taxes rather than
the surrender of any part of our protective
system"
Here then we have the proposition of the
two parties in regard to taxation. The
Democratic policy is to "enforce frugality
in public expense and abolish unnecessary
taxation" and "to cheaper the cost of the
necessaries of life in the home of every
working man." The Republican policy is
to raise the duty on wool and thus increase
the cost of the working mans clothing, and
to take the duties off tobacco and whiskey
rather than abate in the smallest degree
very high protective tariff tax.
The Democratic proposition is economi-
cal government, lower taxes, cheaper clothes
and necessaries of life, with steady employ
ment at good wages
The Republican proposition is high tariff,
dear clothes, everything the working man
uses to be heavily taxed except whiskey
and tobacco, which are to go free of tax.
Under which flag will the people fight
on which platform will they consent to
stand? This is the great question now ap-
pealing to their intelligence, pride, comfort,
and to healthy and economical form of
government, of which they are the Gus
todians.

A ROMANCE.
How Cupid's Schemes We're Spoiled
nv MoYopOn

How Cupid's Schemes We're Spoiled
by Manmon.
A middle-aged widow who takes a
few gentlemen boarders at her house
on Flores street, has recently crushed
down the rising affections she has en-
tertained for Mr.. r., gay old bache-
lor, who has been boarding with her
and who was reputed to be very
wealthy. She not only crushed her
own happy hopes and bright anticipa~
tons, but she 'fired" him out, bag
gage and all from her heart and from
her house. This is the way it happen
ed: The old fellow had been boarding
there some time before he made love
to the widow. She, however, showed
her preference for him and her amor
Gus advances eventually kindled the
i'm such matters, he lost no time in his
wooing, but came to the point at once.
One notable feature of his courtship
was the promise made by him to her
that he would settle $4,000 of his i'm
mense fortune upon her. This settled
it and the day was named. When the
business arrangements were about to
be made, she telegraphed to friends
in an eastern city where he
came from, to know how he
stood financially. She received an
unsatisfactory reply and when she
pushed him to make the settlement
he backed out and wanted to make it
$4,000, saying his estate was some
what tangled up at present and he
was a little short. She agreed to
make it $4,000 then, and things went
along smoothly until the day before
the wedding. Then he owned up and
told her he could not make it $4,000.
He did not have that much. Then
she concluded he wanted to marry
boarding house and not her, and so
fired him and all his baggage. There
is now a manageable widow ready
for some one-with the cash.

Only performer confined in there,
A fathers joy and mothers care!
Torn from his home,
And loving wife signs for his return
On his sisters cheek the tear drops

For her brother, who's now gone.
The dark sod hides the form of the

The sun kisses not his pale forehead,
Nor CLEANS in his loved hair.

the good people of that city full to over
flowing with enthusiasm over the pros

Fruit lands have advanced from 50 to I5o
per cent in the last year. While there we
were kindly shown over the town by Mr..
L. Martin, former resident of this city.
Mr.. Martin showed US over his grounds
where we found all kinds of fruit trees
suitable to the climate, such as almonds,
apricets, s,nectarincs, ,peaches,p pears, cherries,
blackberries, raspbcrries, high-bush cram
berries, Russian muIberries, hickory nuts,
butternuts, chestnuts, English walnuts,
black walnuts, apples, ETC., etc. Very
heavy frosts prevailed on Monday and
Tuesday mornings,but the people inform
ed us that 1t would not injure fruits. Mr..
Oscar Blount,a former resident Of Albany,
Mr.. J. d. Fountain and M. S. Afford, form
er residents of Harrisburg, are all in busi-
ness and doing well. The people of Ash
land will have it that Ashland is the cen.
ter spot of the garden spot Of the state. We
were told by one enthusiastic gentleman
that not school child had been known to
die for ever SO many years, SO healthy Is
the locality, but we learned incidentally
that during.the winter and spring diphthe-
ria has prevailed to an alarming extent,
causing suspension of the schools. Ash
land has fine climate, and we should say
that there is no reason why health should
not be as good there as in Albany or other
favored localities. There is considerable
talk of the building of T broad avenue Zoo
