 The distribution of party rewards for party action is no longer the handspring of a polit- cal campaign. The situation must be gravely and lntelligently met by those in charge of our political organizations
 No party, care not whether Democratic or Republican, can get the support of the mass of the voters by merely promising party rewards for party supremacy.

 Depew and the Reconstruction Scheme.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-The World has in. terviewed Chauncey NJ. Depew on the pro. posed reconstruction scheme of the Repub- lican party.
 "The Republican party" said Mir De pew, twill not be reconstructed. Since its birth in 1856 it has been the only progress sive party in the United States. Itwill con tinue to be the party of progress. It may be temporarily defeated, but reverses will simply stimulate it's energies. fo orfv n, ha country. It ran its electoral ticket in every state in the union. The Democratic party abandoned its electoral ticket in eleven states and merged it's existence into the Populist party, with an acceptance of the vagaries and absurdities of the Peoples party programme. "There is no demand within the party for either reconstruction upon other princi- ples than it has heretofore professed, oi | other leaders than it at present acknowl edges. z-..... 1.-The first plank In the Republican plat | form for 1896 will be a protective tariff. 1t will not be the Mckinley bill. The real | policy of the Republican party is that its protective policy is elastic and progressive, so that the measure of protection shall di- minish in any department or for any in. dustry as the necessity for it decreases. "The Republican party will oppose state bank currency. the free coinage of silver and any measure which degrades the cur. rency. It will favor bimetallism, but only on such conditions as make the currency of the country on 8 parity with gold. 1.-The policy of the Republican party will be to place additional restrictions on i'm. migration.
 Ut will also favor all laws which tend to | secure the free and unintimidated expres- sion by the voter of his choice, and the re- strictions about the ballot box which secure an unquestioned count of the vote when cast. By this I do not mean the Lodge | elections bill"
