ROANOKE. VA. JUNE 10. 1892.
AT MINNEAPOLIS.

That the indications from Minneapolis
are on the surface unfavorable to Mr.
Blaine is plain. His leaders invited
the contest on the adoption of the ma
jority report on tho committee on Gre.
dentials and were decisively beaten.
1t was mistake to do so. Nearly all
OF the contests had been decided in favor
of Blaine delegates by the National
committee, and their decisions in large
majority Of cases were sustained by the
committee on credentials.
1t was an attempt to grab every thing
which led to their defeat. But there is
no reason to suppose that the adoption
of the majority report means Harrison's
denomination. 1t is the opinion of the
coolest heads that he cannot be nomi-
mated on the first or any subsequent
ballot.

THE REPUBLICAN pLArroRM.

The convention at Minneapolis has
adopted characteristic Republican
platform. In many respects 1t repre-
sents the more advanced sentiment of
the party. At points it shows the hand
and reactionary tendency of Chairman
Foraker The bloody shirt is there. but
the stains are largely eliminated and
the garment has been fairly we'll laun-
dered.
Tho Chinese and the Mormons arc
not brought out OF the lumber closet,
and several issues of comparatively re-
cent Importance are showed off to keep
them company. On the silver issue the
position is practically for free silver
when the rest of the world is and not
before, but it looks fatter than what
it is.
The cardinal principle of protection
is we'll grooved into the advocacy of
reciprocity. A line is thrown out to
catch the Prohibitionists, but it is a
weak one.
The advanced features of the plat.
form are the advocacy o: one-cent post
age and extended free delivery, legisla-
tion to protect railroad employees, the
npbuilding of the merchant marine, the
early admission OF the remaining Terri
tories and the cession of arid public
lands to the States and Territories in
which they lie.
Taken as whole there is less politics
and more business than in any Republi-
can platform adopted in the last twenty
years. 1t is not, however, clear. cut on
party tradition. On score of points
inserted in the platform there is moth
ing which might not equally well ap
pear in the Democratic platform week
after next.
