COMMENT AND OPINION.

- President Harrison can point
with pride to the fact that there is no
Grape on ''grandfather's hat"-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
sE~The republican convention gives
us a sound platform and a swimming
ticket and the republican party will do
the rcst.-Burlingto Hawkeye.
sS-It was hard fight but a gallant
one. All honor to the men who made
an unsuccessful contest. The repub-
lean party is proud OF them, one ard
all. What other party in the world has
so many splendid chieftains?-Cleve-
land World.
ESpeaker Crisp has been such
conspicuous failure that such a demo-
cratic organ as the St Louis Republic
declares that the country has lost
sight of him The fact is the nation
wouldn't send the bell man out TO look
for Crispeven if he was lost.-Minneap-
oils Journal.
The republican party is encamped
in good order on the pleasant plains of
harmony, while democracy continues to
wander in the swamp plagued by mis-
chievous mosquitoes, or to fight dark
doEbt IN the woods. They look long
ingly to Chicago for comfort.-ChicaGo
Inter Ocean.
The Minneapolis platform is re-
publican, and viii meet the hearty APP
prevail OF all those who view the
achievements of the republican party
with pride and who have the fullest
faith that it viii meet with patriotic
wisdom and courage every emergency
of the future.-Indianapol Journal.
No patriotic American can fail to
look with genuine pride and satisfac-
ton upon the manly and dignitied atti-
tude maintained by the president during
the recent time of stress and excite
meat. Throughout 1t all he was ever
the cain, suave, pleasant Christian gen.
tleman. His honors came to him I'M
sought and found him unrufhed.-N. Y.
/ Tribune.
This is not exactly free coinage,
but, according to Senator Teller, it
comes nearer to it than any platform
declaration ever before made by re
publican presidential convention. 1t
could by liberal construction be held
10 mean the reconciliation of silver.
Republican senators and representa-
tives could consistently with it vote for
a free-coinage bill and a republican
president sign such q measure.-Denver
Sun.
e3The effort that is being made to
cause ill-feeling between Gov. McKin-
lev and the president is doomed to fail
ure. The governors course at Mime
apolis was fair and above board. His
candidacy was not in his own hands,
and no man in his position could afford
to discourteously reject the high COM
pliment he received. There is not the
slightest reason to doubt that he has
been sincere in his expressions of 10y
atty to the president.-Chicago Journal
Never before has the position Of
the party on the great issues of tine
day, and especially on the question OF
commercial policy and a financial
policy, been so plainly, so definitely
and 80 happily stated. There is no at
/ tempt to evade or to straddle. There
is al the positiveness of conviction and
all the boldness which follow assurance
OF c-ing in the right. And yet the
platform Is one on which more repuh'
/ iicans can JON hands, one from which
/ there will be less dissent and about
whose meaning there viii be less dis
eussiOn than any other of recent YeaIE
st. Paul Pioneer-PreSs.
