adopted at Chicago was meant to bc the
squarest possible declaration against pro-
lection and in favor Of FREQ trade. 1t says
fatty that all protection is unconstitu-
tiOnal: and IL that is so. every intelligent
man must be against protection until the
time. which is very far OFT, when the Con-
stitutlon can bealtcrod.
But our correspondent need not lie
troubled by this feature OF tho Chicago
platform. 1t was repuliatcd on the spot
by the 352 members Of the Convention who
voted against it, while only 5Gi mcmbcrs
voted in favor OF it: and it has since been
rejected by many intelligent and sensible
Democrats. Mr.. CLEVELAND renounced its
extravagant and absurd phraseology in his
address Of acceptance delivered at the Mad
ison Square Garden; Governor HILL gave
1t very ingenious protcctionist cxpana-
tion in his Brooklyn speech of Monday
evening; and tho Democratic State Con-
vention OF Connecticut has repuduted it
outright by adopting declarations squarciy
In favor Of protection. When Mr.. CLEyE-
LAND Is President he can, without any
dishonor. sign as many protcctionist tariff
bills as Congress may send to him and Le
may find worthy Of approval.
Under these circumstances We trust that
our California correspondent and his eleven
friends. who arc awaiting our decision will
change their minds and determine to Iunpr
anitcdly and earnestly for tho Democratic
1ckot without regard to the prcpos ferrous
hriff plank.

up for reelection. They brought against
him every force which they could muster.
social. political. and religious but the Dem
ocratlc people returned him to his place ut
tho head Of the municipal Government
with a great and emphatic majority.
How hypocritcal was the assault on
him is demonstrated by the fact that the
very Muswumps who were engaged in it
most relentlcssly. are now anxious to sup
port him as n leader. so strong In his abil-
ity. his honesty. and his popularity that his
candidacy would be powerful aid to the
great and general Democratic cnuse. They
could not defeat him, and now they want
him to lead them to victory.
Tho truth is that Mayor GRANT has been
ono OF the very nblcst. most independent.
most indcfatlgablc. and most useful Mayors
the city OF Now York has ever had. The
Mugwump attacks on him were the assaults
of men distrusted by the people. and whose
solo campaign ammunition wns falsehood.
Mayor GRAST Is very able. firm. and
hiEh-mindcl man.
1t is truc that his theory OF government
is not the Mugwumpiun. He believes that
municipal politics Is Democratic politics.
He believes that the Democratic party
should assume the full control OF the mu-
nicipnl government Of New York rs part
OF its regular business. He believes that
Democrats arc both righttully entitled to
run the government OF the city and nrc
competent for tho job. Ho believes in n
partisan government Of New York. and he
knows that the interests OF the people are
not protected unless tho whole response
bility for the administration Is borne by
the dominant Democratic party. That is
why he has been assailed and vliiied by the
Muywumps in the recent past. though at
last they arc learning that without his
principles they cannot hope to conduct any
campaign for the Democracy successfully.
The hope OF the Democratic party in this
campaign is Tammany Hall. 1t Is more
than hope. IL Is confidence. Under that
leadership victory will reward the Democ-
racy next November.
Whether Mayor GRANT now rctires from
the City Hall. or whether he permits tho
people Of New York to put him there again.
he will deserve and will receive the unirer-
sal Democratic piaudit Of Well done. good
and faithful public servant! The capacity
of the Democratic party for government
has been displayed nowhere SO siSnally rs
by Tammany Hall in New York. or all
names entitled to Democratic honor. the
foremost is the name of Tamnlnny. the syn
onymc OF Democratic power and triumph.

Will There Be Cholera Next Year?

We have not seen any conclusive reason
for tho opinion recently expressed by many
foreign medical experts that there is likely
to DO another year OF cholera In Europe.
Even In England. whore tho authorities
have nlnified the dangers from cholera, this
opinion is given out by tho leading medical
Journals. In London 1t has been deter
mncd to maintain for another year the
Cholera Commission recently organized by
tho Metropolitan Asylums Board. aud on
Saturday last tho Chairman OF that Board
said that tho reason for maintaining this
Commission lay In tho apprehension
cs its members that the cholera ep-
dcmic would appear again carly in
1898. 1t Is true that there have been
occasions IN which the cholera has
run from year to year in European coun-
tries. aud there have been years when 1t
existed during tho winter timc even in
western Europe: but we have not been
made aware OF any sufficient cause for tho
particular apprehension that now exists
among medical authorities. They must
have reason to believe that the infection Is
very deeply grounded. perhaps in Russia.
IL is evident that. in this part of the
world. we must needs keep UP II quarantine
guard for some time yet. Until an intlcn-
nito period OF the coming year. we must
needs be cautious about admitting mm-
grants to this country. Wo must needs
continue to enforce every means of keeping
the city in the best possible sanitary condi-
tion. The city authorities. us wei! as the
State and Federal authorities. have vet inn
portnnt duties to perform for the protec-
tion OF the city and the country.
