German unity and italian unity had both
been attained at the expense OF Austria;
and It was evident that BISMARCK had been
almost as efficient In the one transaction as
In the other. The product OF the united
energies OF CAvoUR, GARIBALDI, and MAJ
zrNI had no cohesion or stability about II;
its true safeguards were supplied by the
Prussian statesman. who elected the Aus
TRANS from the Quadrilateral and from We
META. and who was to render possible the ltai-
ian occupation OF Rome. AS for Germany.
BISMARCK fulfilled the vision OF GUsTAvUs
ApoLPHus by firmly welding 1t together
under Protestant sovereign. The man
who accomplished this can never have been
thoroughly forgiven by the HAPsBURd
Kaiser: and 1t could have needed no sug-
gestlon on the part OF the ungrateful Wiz
LIAM II. to induce him to refrain from well
coming his greatest enemy to his capital.
But the welcome which the HAPsBURa
Emperor withheld was bestowed with UNI
paralleled effuslon by his subjects. The
German.speaking people Of Vienna. and
especially the students. most OF whom
were born since Sadowa, refused to re-
member that BISMARCK had been their
national enemy. and saw In him only the
most imposing representative Of the Ger
man name. It is as the greatest Of Ger
mans that history will honor him. and 1t
was In that august capacity that he was
welcomed by the Viennese.

journment was had until nightfall.
There was great crush In the Conven-

sion. . report having gone abroad that

of the Committee on Platform was
read by Senator Villas, whose men,
ton Of GROVER CLEvEhAND's name
awakened the first great demonstration OF
the day. Mr., CLEvELAND's picture was car
ried around the hall. and there was much
shouting and confusion. While 1t was at
Its height tho Iowa men brought out
o banner picture Of Bo1Es. and counter
demonstration was started which lasted for
some minutes.
A motion to substitute tho tarifI plank as
reported in the minority report for the
majority's tariff plank led to long and
lively debate. In which Mr.. HENRY WAT
fERsoN took conspicuous part. He said
that tho tariff plank In the platform
was q straddle. Senator Villas re-
piled that It was the same as that
adopted In 1884 Mr.. WATTERsoN replied
that the substitute was practically the
platform position adopted In the Convcn-
tlon OF 1879. which nominated the Hon.
SAMUEL J. T11pEN for the Presidency. The
minority report was adoptcd-547 to 35l.
Mr. PATTERSON Of Colorado then proposed

make 1t provide for Il free coinage OF gold

and exchangeable value. Tho substitute
was rejected and the platform adopted.
The presentation OF candidate s' names
being then In order. Gov ALBEIT Of New
Jersey took the platform to propose the
name OF GROVER CLEVELAND. This was the
signal for another demonstration which was
renewed when he entioned the names Of

however. was that which followed his men,

cheering and the shouts continuing for up

The Hon. WILLIAM O. DE WITT Of New

that New York should be listened to. for

balancing the scales, but according to their
partisan sympathies. They will take sides
like other men. and. like other men. they
will be sgitated by hopes and fears for four
months to come.
This partisan sentiment IL one Of the
nobest and most salutary sentiments In
human nature. II lie the same spirit from
which proceeds patriotism. and which leads
men to sacrifice themselves for their coun-
try. though individually It may be proved
to them that they have nothing to gain or
lose In tho contest. It IL unselfishness In
Its highest form. the devotion to an idea:
and because OF IL mankind shares In the
Divine spirit. The good OF the whole and not
tho benefit Of the individual ls the motive
and purpose. Itis the enthusiasm OF altru-
Ism. as we now call the impulse to work
for tho welfare OF others and for society In
general. It Is the spirit which animated
the old martyrs OF the faith.
This Is a period Of decaying religious
faith. or Illusions. as the agnostics say. but
political devotion Is as strong as ever. The
Mugwumps have made sham attempt to
destroy this wholesome partisan spirit, but
1t remains undiminished. 1t remains even
In them In spite Of their humbug pretences.
or all hero worshippers they are the most
abject in their prostrations. or partisans.
they are tho narrowest and the least ad-
mirable. They bow down to the imposture
that is in themselves, generating 1t because
1t Is not Of tho common quality Of sturdy
conviction which anlmates the rest Of men.
The coming four months. therefore. will
be a glorious time for all the people They
will appear at their best and will make
manifest and preserve In the world the
highest and most beautiful attributes Of
manhood. They will lift their heads from
their toll for existence to look abroad upon
the vastness In which Is involved the well
fare Of the whole. They will be stirred up
by great effervescence. and every one Of
them all will be statesman who feels that
to him individually is committed the honor
and the prosperity Of his country.
Such a popular spirit affords glorious
inspiration for q newspaper, and The Sun
enters upon this campaign Of 1892 stirred
and elevated as by voice from above.

This year will mark an important epoch
In the history OF the South African Republic,
for tho introduction Of railroads Is now to
make it's resources moro accessible. Before
the end OF the year both Cape Town and Port
Elizabeth will DO In direct communication with
johannesburg. the great mining centre. and
two or three months later. Pretoria. the capital
Of the republic. will also be joined to tho outer
world by rail.
Last month work was resumed on the
Delagoa Bay Railroad. which had already been
completed from the Indian Ocean 70 the
mountain boundary between the Portuguese
possessions and the South African Republic.
The line Is first to be extended westward to
Leydendorp. the chief town Of the great aurif-
erous fields In the district OF Zoutpansberg.
1t IL believed the line will be completed to this
gold region by the end Of the yenr.
Johannesburg Is already a nourlshinG city.
but the wonder is that 1t exists Mt all. con-
sidcring that II Is entirely without means OF
rapid communication and charges for trans

great disadvantage. however. the mines
around this town are now yielding 5000
ounces OF gold a month. and 1t Is expected
that the yield Will soon increase to 100000
ounces. As railroads are soon to reach the

parts vt tho republic. It is expected that they
will give Il great impetus to the development
of these rich diggings.
