PEPURITCdN UNITY,

The Republican conventions this year have
been creditable TO the party. Taken as
whole, they exhibit an ability to set aside per-
sonal controversies for the public good, and
unity and definiteness of opinion on pending
questions which are not often seen in the con-
ventions of either party. Whether in Massa-
chusetts or Washington Territory, in New orb
or Ohio the Republican party shows sense oil
its high responsibility, sincere desire 10 pro-
mote the public welfare, and remarkable agree
ment in declarations of principles and purpose.
At hardly any other time have Democratic Or
gans counted so largely upon Republican DIS
cord, but at hardly any other time has there
been shown in conventions more real unity
The Administration Of President HARRISON
which all the conventions commend with more
than the customary warmth, has obviously done
much within six months to promote Repub-
lican harmony.
The agreement in platforms adopted in the
different States is closer than usual The one
great issue set forth so strongly in General Ma
homes opening speech in Virginia is ecog-
nized, in Southern and Northern platforms
alike, as that in which the greatest number OF
voters has direct personal interest and on TINS
tariff question there appears neither heSltancy
nor equivocaton. Republicans want protec-
ton maintained; they want it adjusted to the
new conditions of industry and trade; and they
all insist that it shall be so maintained as to
promote the interests of the whole country, and
not merely Of any section or branch OF busl-
ness. On other National issues there is also
unusually complete accord The incapacity OF
the Democratic party &c govern is point which
deserves the general mention it receives, and
the msdeedS of that party in the present are
properly connected with its crimes and its dis
loyalty in the past
Local issues vary in the different States, but
in every State where the Democratic party has
recently had control of any part of the State
government the Republicans are enabled to
appeal to the people with great force against
Democratic misconduct. Thus in this State
the vetoes and the shameless behavior Of Gov
ernor Hill merit attention in New-Jersey the
unparalleled corruption partisanShip and usur-
patton of the Legislature As the temperance
question is presented in many different forms
by recent action of the people in various States,
resolutions necessarily touch upon the local
aspects of the issue in each case. But there is
a noteworthy tendency toward entire harmony
of spirit and purpose in Republican resolutions
on the subject. The fact is recognized that
Prohibition has not commanded public approval
in most Of the States, and is not growing in
favor, and that high license has produced effects
for good wherever it has been faithfully tried.

THE SALVATION OF THE PARK,

For thirty years the best opinion OF the city
has been arrayed against every intrusion upon
the Park area No military parade, no public
meeting. 10 assembage that threatened even tenn
pororv harm TO "a foot of turf or a single shrub has
been allowed Space for exhibitions of one sort
or another has been requested over and again, buo
ALWAYS refused, and finally in accordance with
the unanimous demand of the press of the city, a
law was deliberately enacted as a safeguard
aoainst any raid like the one now threatened,
There is no need Of restating the reasons which
prompted the people TO adhere to this conservative
nolicy No one questions it's wisdom Il is the
policy that has saved the Park The files of every
respectablr newspaie r in the city eloquent
with carefully prepared arguments to prove that
the Park and every inch of il is needed for park
PURPOSES and 10 prove, too, that the doom OF the
parl, is sealed the very moment that any aggres-
sion is submitted 10.
Every o1e of thes, arguments, which have been
go often and so deliberately set forth, is stronger
to-day than ever it was As the beauty of the
parl, develops and natures, the more susceptible
is IL 20 DETACHMENT and the more slowly Will its
wounds heal The larger the trees, the greater

fact that the proposed Exhibition is TO be on q

with it threat of desoation such as was never
dreamed of in earlier assaults. The people of the
city should practise no sclf-deception in this
matter. II their settled policy Of insisting that
the Park belongs TO the people, TO be used solely

wrong. and an invasion Of such magnitude as the
one contemplated mems ruin, absolute and utter.

Uncertainty still marks the struggle for the
baseball champ onship. The lead which the
Giants have held for several days vanished with
their defeat at Chicago yesterday, and now the
New York and Boston teams are neck and neck.
AS the League season closes week from to-
morrow. it is obvious that the last games of
the series will be uncommonly interesting Ii
The Giants mean to come out ahead they must
wolk hard and make no mistakes. The eyes
of New-York are upon them. Let them come
home victorious and all will be forgiven.

There is no doubt as to"the spirit with which
the Republicans of the State are entering upon
the canvass. The convention at Saratoga was
so large and so representative that it fully eX-
pressed the feelings and purposes of the party
at large. The talks with prominent Repub-
leans here and elsewhere, which we print this
morning, show that the conventions work has
given universal satisfaction and paved the way
for an aggressive and winning campaign. The
State Committee will meet next week and Or
ganize and will at once open an energetic can
yass. 1t will be a brief one, but there will be
Gme enough to let all the voters understand
the questions at stake and the importance OF a
Republican victory.

The people of New York and of other cities
would be glad to get all the information that
can be obtained about the effects of powerful
electric currents On the human body; but the
testimony taken in the Kemmler inquiry shows
how useless it is to expect to reach positive
conclusion. If the Coroner goes into the mat
ter at length when the latest death from con-
tact with an electric wire is Investigated, he
will have an endless task. Especially so if he
gives hearings to all the volunteer experts who
are prepared to expound the subject more or
less exhaushvely. 1t has been shown once and
again that men who touch or grasp live"
electric wires are either killed outright or serl-
ously injured. 1t is the duty Of the city au-
thorities and it ought to be to the interest of
electric companies, so to dispose Of these wires
that an end shall be made of the accidents that
have occurred so frequently in the last year

The admirable letter Of Mr.. Frederick Law
Olmsted upon the question Of the site for the
Fair will do much to strengthen public sent-
ment against the admission of any portion OF
the Exhibition into the Park. In his tenn
peiate and convincing way Mr. Olmsted shows
that the occupation Of the North Meadows
would be inconyenient and impraeticable, be-
sides involving q devastation that could never
be repaired" II the buildings are placed be-
yond the Park it will be frequented by many
more visitors than usual, and Mr. OlmSted
thinks it not improbable that temporary pro-
vision may be needed for this increase. In
another column he gives with some detail the
views which be had before expressed on this
subject in a more general way.
