n Y Tribune: The placation OF Mr..
Platt and the quietlng Of Senator QUAY
have been discussed so long ANA So
deliberately in democratic newspapers,
and represented aus so necessary 10 re-
publican success and yet so impossible,
That IL must be extremely dlscodragiug

cram leaders are actively enlisted In
The campaign and Will labor with zeal

never was any sense i'm suppOsing that
they would not Both are ardent In
devotion to the republican party Both
know that republican national defeat
would De attributed largely to their
indifference IL they should either be
or appear Indifferent Both know that
their future influence I'm the party and
i'm the country would be greatly dimiu-
ished by the election of a democratic
president Thus every conceivable inn
pulse of a personal nature would move
them to do just what their known zeal
for republican principles has impelled
them to do in past campaigns
If either was located in a different
state his interest in this campaign
might be less powerful But New York
and Pennsylvania have rs great need
of the maintenance Of republican pro-
lection as any other state in the union
Ia manufacturing they ovcrshadow all
other states. The new tariff has
brought greater enlargement of in
dustlies to them than to any other
state. No leader could ever have
hoped 10 bear an active or prominent
part in the opposition to democracy in
either of these states, if by his act a
change of the tariff had been render
ed possible Nor is this the only issue
which binds the strong men Of Penn

tidence of capitalists and business men
The two greatest commercial cities i'm
the country, able by withdrawal Of
confidence TO render amy political
leader an impoSsibiIity, are both in

of sound currency The declaration
OF the democratic platform for n re-

schemes, make its success dreaded by
conservative business men. who would
NOT readily forgive any sacrifice Of such
nauonal interests by political leader
AS there was never any reason TO
imagine that ex-senator Platt or Seua-
tor Quay would be indifferent this year
it was a stupid blunder Of democrats
10 raise hopes which were certain to
bc disappointed, IN all parts eff the
country many democratic voters have
been counting largely upon the weak
ness Of the republican party i'm this
state and Pennsylvania through the
deliberately heralded opposition Of well
known leaders TO the national ticket
In proportion TO the false hopes thus
foolishly fostered win be the diShcart-
eminent resulting whe& it is known
that the republican force is united and
earnestly at work for the national
