Among the. misfortnnes which
befel our Republican friends from
the north in the Republican county
convention, last week, were found
to be not alone in the fact
that apportionment on the party
vote was taken away from them,
but that Mr.. J. o. Manger of
Christene making motion that the
section in the resolutions endorsing
the Chicago platform of 1883 be
stricken out, was lost! After
awhile Mr.. Manger will learn that
the Republicans are no tariff re-
formers, but that they for the most
part are Republicans for revenue,
and all the revenue they can get.
And he will also learn that a car
dinal plank in the Democratic plat
form is revenue, simply, for the
payment Of governmental expense,
economically administered.
