A Crazy-Quilt.

The Democratic National Platform
is crazy quilt of the craziest pattern.
1t is a hodge podge, truck patch, a
public dump, into which has been
cropped nothing of positive charac.
ter aud everything abusing thu Re
publican party.
1t is Bourbon from beginning to
end. Nothing new, and only the
stale old platitudes of vituperation.
The Federal election law is de.
nounced in billingsgate and the author
of the plank raves like maniac over
the idea that the negro in the South
should be protected when he wants to
cast his vote to suit bis pleasure. A
right that is guaranteed him by the
Constitution.
Republican protection is denounced
as fraud, This will be an interesting
statement for PennsyIvanians to read.
But it is thoroughly Democratic.
Anything relating to the protection of
American interests always falls under
the ban Of the Democratic curse. They
are not American because they are
controlled by the Democratic foreign.
ers who annually send to this country
great sums Of money to help along in
the work Of injuriDg American manu-.
facturers. These are the men who
have the cheek to deDounce the pro
lection of American interests. They
will find such deuunciation of little
benefit to them in n campaign. The
people Of protected America are pros
porous, contenied and happy. Com.
pare their lot to free trade Great
Britain, Belgium or any other country
where protection has been rejected
aud see how empty and fiat the denun,
citation of protection falls.
Of course the Mckinley tariff law
is denounced, and it is called "an
atroeity Of class legislation" AS the
people Of this country have pretty
generally endorsed the Mckinley bill,
the denunciation of the Democracy
will not amount to anything. 1t will
simply be laughed at.
Greater space than we can spare
could be taken up in showing the
ridiculous side of the Democratic
platform, and we opine that the hotch-
Potchy jumble will not "take with the
masses" as its projectors intended.

A CONSERVATIVE estimate of the
strength of the two big parties in the
Electoral College coucedes the Repub.
licaps 210 votes aud the Democrats
$50. Ipasmuch as 223 votes are nee.
essary to a choice, both Indiana and
New York, omitted from this estimate,
must be carried by the Democrats to
insure success. Republicans can win

The Republican national committee
met in Washington Monday, and
among other proceedings elected a
new chairman, secretary and treasurer.
Ex- Senator W. j. Campbell, of Hi.
nois, was unanimously chosen as
chairman; Thomas H. Carter of
Montana, secretary, and Cornelius N.
Bliss, treasurer. The selection of Mr..
Campbell was in accordance with the
Presidents wishes and gives very gen.
eral satisfaction throughout the Re.
publican organization. He is consid.
cred one of the ablest orga uizers in
the party.

WE regret to see some Republican
newspapers criticising the presence at
Chicago of Democratic office. holders.
We have no sympathy with such criti-
cism. We cannot understand why an
American citizen who happens to be
holding a public Office should be de.
barred from any right or privilege
common to other citizens and we do
not understand why greater fidelity
and a closer attention to business
should be exacted from a man in off
cial life than from one who was pur.
suing earnestly and successfully his
own vocation. The men who gather
in National Conventions are quite up
to the average citizen. Very few ol
them are sluggards or loafers. They
are generally distinguished for their
energy, ability aud intelligence, and
what harm can come to the country
from their devoting a few days every
four years in attendance upon a Ma,
tional Convention would be pretty
hard for the most ingenious Mugwumr
to demonstrate. Republican newspa.
pers ought not to be guilty of CRITICS.

WELL, TAMMANY has been turned
down. Her protests have been hurled
back into her teeth and her candidate
has been relentlessly slaughtered. She
has been told that she has neither in.
huence nor standing in the Democratic
party except to carry water to the
Mugwumps. To put it still more ap.
prOpriately, she has been knocked
down, jumped Oh add dragged out. 10
substance she has been told she is not
wanted, the candidate of the conven.
tiOn himself being quoted as saying
that he can do without her. What
answer does she propose to make to
this treatment2 Will she act the
lacky or, worse still, lick the hand that
beat herr Scarcely. When the time
comes something else will drop and
this time it will not be TammaDy.

The cEpAR-eRove TRACT.
Its Necessity and Importance to the Gov
ernment-The New Ferry.


correspondence Of the Richmond Dispstch.l
NORFOLK, January 16.-The proposition
of Senator Daniel to purchase the Cedar.
Grove tract. in order to extend the area of
the navy yard, has been regularly urged
before Congress by tho Bureau of Yards
and Docks for the last fifteen years. The
tract has an extensive waterfront imme-
diately opposite the launching-slips OF the
ward, and If it ever gets into private hands
and piers are built out to the port-warden's
line it will be perfectly impracticable to
launch q ship at the yard or conve-
niently to turn one OF the present large
considerable tract belonging to the Gov
eminent and used as an ordnance depot
and residence for the gunner OF the yard,
immediately adjoins Cedar Grove on the
north, and thus naturally renders the lat
ter more valuable to the Government than
it otherwise would be. 1t IS the opinion
of every officer ever stationed here that
this navy-ysrd is bound, in the nature OF
things. to become the most important on
the Atlantic seaboard. and must be en-
larged in some direction very soon.
SURGEON III.
Surgeon George F. Winslow, in charge
of the medical department of the navy
yard, is quite i'll.
The incorporators of the new ferry COM
pany will go to work at once to put the
ferry into working order between the two
cities.
Rev. W. A. Campbell, ID. D., of Rich
mond, will preach at the Second Presbyte-
rian church tomorrow. the pastor being

The northwest winds have blown the
fogs away, and the bay and river steamers
are all running on time to-day.

THE ALABAMA UP.
THE ALABAMA UP.
Within Three Feet, 1T Montgomery oftne
High-water Mark Of 1885.


MONTGOMERY, Ala, January H. The
Alabama river at this point reached its ex-
treme height at o'clock this morning.
This was hfty-five feet four inches above
low water, which is within three feet OF
the high-water mark of lSS6-the highest
on record. To-day the river has. been
falling very slowly-about six. inches
during the day. No damage OF conse-
quence was done 10 this city. though the
rise of foot more would have
flooded the gas. electric-light, and
water-works. Many negroes moved out
of houses in the lower parts OF
the city. some of which are inundated.
No loss Of life is reported from any direc-
ton and little of stock, and this IS doubt
less due to precautions taken In conse-
uuence of the experiences of 1886, so fresh
in the peoples minds. The worse damage
has been to railroads, and all the lines en-
tering here nave been affected except the
Georgia Central leading to Eufaula. The
roads to Mobile, Selma, and Atlanta we've
reopened tor business last night. and will
probably remain SO, but the Louisville and
Nashville to Birmingham and Nashville
abandoned its trains last night because
the water was over the track for con-
siderable distance q few miles above the
city. 1t is expected that all trains will be
running tomorrow.
