POINTS OF THE PLATFORM.

The platform of the Republicans is the
old story, and little else. Based as the
party is upon the principle of high pro-
lection. and worthless as it would be to
the managers of the party without it, no
expression of its creed would answer I'M
less the resolutions reiterated this essen
tial plank. The platform dispenses with
the hypocrisy of promises to reform or
modify the tariff, and berates the De-
mocracy for the attempt to change the
existing law in the interest Of the people.
On the financial question, there is
rather skilful effort to adopt the TALLI
RAND method of using language to conceal
thought, and to bring in words and express
sions seeming to convey ideas without in
fact doing so. THUS the Republican plat
form appears to favor the use of both sill
yer and gold as money standards, but it is
with such restrictions ''made by legis-
lation" as will equalize the value
of gold, silver and paper currency.
Well the Republican party, "by legis-
tstion." that is in the repeal of
the coinage act has made restrictions
which is the thing the silver men are COM
of does not pretend to equalize dollars, and
of oourse there is a complete absence of
free coinage reference in the resolutions.
Every body will understand the platitudes
about free and honest ballots" and the
reference in this connection to whites and
blacks, as meaning call for the enactment
of southern election law like the LODGE,
or force bill-should the Republican party
attain the power to pass one. This is what
is offered to the colored Republicans of the
south, and it is also intended to keep the
northern heart fred up on the Outrage
racket"
The re-afirmation of the pledge to reduce
letter postage seems amusing in view Of the
fact that though four years ago Mr..
HARRISON was nominated on a platform
containing that promise, his administration
has steadily opposed it. No less ridiculous
the pretense of opposition to trusts and com
bines. Scarcely had the convention of 1888
adjourned before the biggest monopolies
the country has ever known sprang into
existence, actually encouraged by the Re
publican protective platform; for it is high
tariff that IS the real basis of these trusts.
The paragraph about territories shows
how reluctant the platform committee as
to deal directly and without concealment
To say that the right of self-government
should be accorded las far as practicable"
is a mincing method of declaring prin-
ciple straightforwardly. But the compo-
sition of the platform is full of such
hesitating forms of language, from the
section on silver clear through.
The platform contains no surprises. 1t
is an epitome of Republican speeches in
Congress and or the stump. except where
il is required to deal with dangerous topics,
such as the silver question, public schools,
prohibition, etc.

wHITELAw REID.

The Republican nominee for vice presi-
dent is WHITELAw REID, editor of the New
York Tribune. Though his name has been
occasionally mentioned in connection with
the Office of vice-president within the past
few weeks, the suggestion has pot seemed
to make any profound impression on the
public mind. Mr.. r. returned short time
ago from Paris, having resigned his COM
mission as United States minister to
Francs to which he was appointed by
President HARRISON on the latter's acces-
sion to the presidency. Whilst abroad he
was quite active in negotiating with the
French government for the admission of
American pork to the ports of that country,
though the credit of success was claimed
by Secretary RUsK of the agricultural de-
partment.
Mr.. REID, was born in Zenla, O., October
9th, 1887. He graduated at Miami Uni
versity in 1856, and took charge of the Xe-
MIA NelUs as editor the year following. AT
the breaking out of the civil war he became
Washington correspondent of the Gin
cinnaI Gazette, writing over the signature
OF Agate. Afterwards he accompanied the
Union army as correspondent. In 1866 he
took an editorial position on the New York
Tribune, aud upon the death of HORACE
GREELEY, in 1872, he succeeded to the man
agement of that paper, with which he has
been connected ever since, with the ex-
ception of the period of his absence in
France. He has never been candidate
for an Office before the people unit. now
Mr.. REID is son-in-law of D. o. MILLS.
formerly of California, now of New York,
gen tleman Of great wealth.

THE ROW between HARRISON and BLAINE
was largely of female manufacture. Mira.
II. ond Mrs. B. were not overly friendly
when their husbands were members of the
Senate, and their personal and social rela-
tons never wholly recovered from the
strain. Mrs BLAINE is boss of the BLAINE
shop, and she has been mad a. the presi-
dent for some little time back, having with
in the past few weeks indeed, become very
bitter. Mr.. HARRISON refused to appoint
her son WALKER BLAINE as first assistant
secretary of state. Some weeks ago Colonel
CoPPINGER, whose wife, Mrs. ALICE
BLAINE CoPPINGER, died not long ago. de-
sired the BLAINE influence to get him pro-
NOTED to brigadier-generalship Mr..
HARRISON, after consulting Secretary Ell
KINs, found he would have to jump twenty
six other colonies to do this. and as Cop
FINGER had done nothing to deserve such
advancement, Secretary BLAINE was
kindly informed that the thing could not
be done. Then Mrs. b. called round and
gave the president piece of her stalwart
mind even accusing him of Fastening her
son WALKERS death, as among the results
of Mr.. HARRIsoN's alleged unfriendliness
to her family. 1t is said the riot act was
then and there read. and that Mr.. BLAINE )
visit to New York, his resignation and
subsequent course are the direct result.

remains unchanged except that IL is growing
more blainish all the time. Mr.. BLAINLs
nomination on the first ballot is absolutely
assured ANY other result is too Improbable
TO be worth discussing The truth is Mr..
BLAINE has won the hearts of nine-tenths
Of the Republicans of the country They
love him and venerate him, not only
for what he has DONE but for what he is cap
able OF doing for his country in the future.
He is the ideal, typical American. AS for the
president, feeling for him among his followers
is at best only skin deep. 1 do not look for
stampede in the convention. The supporters
OF MIR. HARRISON are really compelled to stand
up and be counted Mr.. HARRIsoN's vote in
the convention, however, will not be very con-
siderable. OF his supporters over one hundred
and forty are federal offlcehoders- Then there
are hundreds Of federal officials here work
ing for the president who are not mem
bers Of the convention. 1t is not sur
prising, therefore, that the president IS able
to hold together quite following under the
circumstances. 1t is really remarkable and
strong tribute to the immense popularity Of Mr..
BLAINE that the administration forces are as
small as they are in view of the character OF
the fight that is being waged IN HARRIsoN's be-
half. Mr.. BLAINE Is now private citizen. and
the administration has all the power of the fed
eral patronage at its back, which is being used
in the most open way, and yet Mr. BLAINE is
certain to be nominated on the first ballot

ballot resulted in Us votes for Mr.. BLAINE
and 534 for Mr. HARRISON.

VERY FUNNY.

The newspapers which reach Salt Lake
during the next few days will contain some
very amusing matter. America has been
literally full of political prophets re-
Gently, and good many of them have been
so unwise as to record their prophesies as
to coming events in the daily papers, where
the predictions will now be read as evidence
that prophets are without honor and mighty
unreliable in their own country. Que
of the most amusing of these incidents is
telegram from Minneapolis last Sunday, to
the New York World. 1t is signed by ex-
Senator PLATr, the leader of the anti HAIR
RTsoN forces in the Empire state, and Illus
trates how reckless a man can be in his
statements, or how badly he can be- fooled
by what he sees and hears. The dispatch
is so funny, read by the aide of yesterdays
reports from the convention, that The
HERALD reproduces it for the entertain
ment of those who enjoy good thing:
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, June 1.-The situation
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1892-06-11

insane hatred of everything Mormon. The
HERALD hoped for better things. because it
wanted better things. We wanted peace
and prosperity in this territory, but they
will never como while the Liberal party
continues anything like formidable ele-
ment. The Republican party, by its action
at Minneapolis, gives its support to and
declares its sympathy for the Liberals,
and thus delays the adjustment Of polit
ical affairs along legitimate lines
and in a manner for the best good of Utah.
1t is unfortunate for the territory, and
therefore to be regretted by Democrats
and Republicans alike.
Considering the admission of the Liberal
delegates from a partisan standpoint the
Democrats might well rejoice. They have
asserted and believe that the Republican
party had no love for or confidence in the
majority class of Utah, and also that
the Liberal and Republican parties
were very closely allied. The
action of the Minneapolis convention is
vindication of this belief, for that action
says the Republican party of the nation re-
CARDS Liberals and Republicans as equally
entitled to representation in the councils
of the party. 1t would be very natural if
many of the good people of this territory
were to resent this Republican aspersion
on their characters and reflection on their
intelligence, and were to decline afiliation
with party which refused 10 trust them
and insisted upon prolonging their troubles.
That would be natural, we say, and ordi-
narily the Democracy might be expected to
gain from the incident; but we are now
considering the case from another than
partisan standpoint, and therefore regret
that the Minneapolis convention has given
new lease of life to Utah's political enemy.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1892-06-11

The Tribune looks upon the action of the
Minneapolis convention in reference to the
Utah delegates as "a poor decision one
that we see noS1efense for in any proceed
emit, reason or sense" 1t speaks of it as
an odious compromise, likening it to the
''villainy underlying the passage of the fu-
gitive slave law" Our nelghbor generally
goes good distance back in history for its
comparisons, which may account for some
of its inaccuracies of statement; but we
had supposed no well-informed person
would repeat the observation that the
United States supreme court, by decision
or dictun, had once declared that black
man had no rights which white man was
bound to respect" Such statement is
complete distortion of the use made of
those words by ROGER B. TANEY, chief JUS
tice, in the DRIED ScoTT case.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1892-06-11

Our LIBERAL contemporary Is, prena-
turely perhaps, so much disgruntled by the
recognition given to the regular Republic
ans at Minneapolis that it does not sur
prise US its ideas in general are somewhat
confused. Thus the Tribune hkens the
Liberal party here with what it calls the
Union party in the north at the outbreak
Of the Rebellion, adding that this party
included not only the Republicans but also
the war Democrats" Now, the fact is all
parties in the north claimed to be for the
Union. The war Democrats were not con-
fined TO those Democrats who joined the
Republican party like LOGAN. BUTLER and
q host Of others. The Republicans kept up
their organization and the Democrats
theirs. There WAS no Union party, so
named. Thousands of Democrats who
acted with the Republican party during
the war went back TO the Democratic or
ganization. and, we may add, they were
accompanied by great many Repubh-
cans.

A WRITER in the Chicago Inter-Ocean does
not seem TO think the PLATT and Quay
crowd nearly as smart as they think they
are. He says;
One OF the most notable Of the blunders is the
putting forward OF Mr.. GARRISON the nominal
chairman OF the National Republican commit
tee, as the fly upon the political wheel which is
TO grind out Republican nomination. The men
upon whom the party Will have to rely in the
conduct Of the campaign do not think it in &C
cordance with good business methods or in ac-
cordance with common sense to have even the
temporary management OF the party in the
hands OF man who is interviewed every time
he turns around, uttering cheap phrases Of dis
respect, dislike and malice directed against the
president, who is chief OF the Republican party.

Impure or vitisted blood is nine times out OF
ten caused by some form of constipation or in
digestion that clogs up the system, when the
blood naturally becomes impregnated with the
efTete matter. The old sarsaparillas attempt to
reach this condition by attacking the blood with
thodrastic mineral potash" The potash theory
is old and obsolete. Joys Vegetable sarsaparilla
is modern. It goes to the seat of the trouble. 1t
arouses the liver, kidneys and bowels to health
full action, and invigoratcs the circulation and
the impurities are quickly carried OF through
