PARTY PLATFORMS.

Parties exist only TO carry ont
certain purposes la government.
In some countries the determine.
ton what those purposes shall be
is left more or lcss to tho great
leaders. Lord Salisbury. for ex.
ample, on ono side, and Mr.. Glad
stone on the other, not only lead ~
body OF followers in. carrying
through a plan, but conceive the
plan which is TO be executed.
In this country o party draws up
statement Of its principles and
purposes, and this statement adopt
ed by convention representing
the party, 10 termed its "platfofm. &"
Our way is tho better for re-
publican form OF government, pro
yIdod the party has a definite pur-
pose, and has courage enough to-
announce IL. Let purpose or cour-
age be lacking, anu it is time for
tho party to die.
Take one Of tho great ques ions
that nov divide public sentiment
the Tariff, the Silver Question, Che
Liquor Traffic, or any other. The
party that lodges the question sim
ply trics to catch votes by false pre-
tencea. II il has no convictions
upon public questions, its only OBJ
| jet in tho ection is TO got the
offices, aud that is not sufficient
reason FOR the existence Of a party.
! A party resolution which does
not speak out is a device TO cheat
voters into thinking that the party,
| II it scoures power, will do some,
thing which it docs not intend II
do or that It will not do something
which 10 does intend to do.
