The Conventions Compared.

The impudence of q Republican
organ is one of the most beautiful
things in the mighty universe, II per-
lection is the acme of beauty. Here
is the NeWd2k Advertiser, for in
stance, which ventures to compare the
tag rag and bobtail which made up the
Republican Convention at Minneapo-
lis, and which absolutely reversed and
nullifed the will of it's constituency,
with the representative and patriotic
body which spoke for the Democracy
at Chicago and which loyalty obeyed
the mandate of the party at large.
There was absolutely not n re-
spectacle element in the Republican
Convention. One large section of it
was the drove of office holders who
came with the Administration halter
about their necks to vote for the
nasty little boss who now belittles
the Chief Magistracy. Another was
the gang of Niggers who came from
the South to be bought at $5 a head.
Still a third was the horde of million
aires who came to buy them in the in
terest of a monopolistic tariff and
huge subsidies. The remaining ele-
ment was the opposition section whose
main idea was to glorify and reward
party and political ~treachery. They
wrangled and squabbled and bullied
and bribed and intrigued. and finally
insulted the sentiment of their party,
which called for the nomination of
McKinley-who. il mistaken In his
ideas, is still a statesman-and put in
nomination the most contemplate
and the most unpopular man in the
United States for President and Vice
President respectively. ,
In the Democratic Convention there
was a square, open, honest contest
of opinions and interests. 1t was
strongly, even bitterly waged. But
it was conducted with decency. There
was no Gaddis-M urrell incident to
drag it to the level of the slums.
There was no buying of Ave dollar
delegates. We have not even heard a
Republican paper say there was. The
fight was honestly fought and
honestly won, and even Republicans
themselves have admitted without a
dissentient voice that 1t was won by
the purer and better side, by the
hohester man, the squarer politician,
by a man in whose haads, Republi-
cans admit, the country will be safe.
And yet for campaign ends, this
Advertiser, which knows better, has
The indecency to compare the two
conventions and their results to the
detriment of Democracy. If the Ecen-
ing Journal had done this, we should
not wonder. Its stock in trade is dis
honesty and indecency; but the I'D
cegtdser has a reputation to lose, and
we are simply astonished at its lack
of reserve in a case where every point
was dead against it.
