that there were three of us young

three weeks, when the woman frankly

Lord Aberdeen, however, had hardly land
ed upon Canadian shores before Il became
evident that he was much more than mere
encouragement lie was n living man with
wide and catholic sympathics, who recognized
that while 1t was necessary to abide strictly
within the constitutional limits In all pnltl-
cal questions, in non-politcal questions,
which after all occupy three-fourths Of hu-
man interest he was in position which
placed upon him and his family the oblipa-
ton Of exercising all the influence which any
highly placed and cultured citizen is bound
to exercise There is no doubt but that
Lord Aberdeen will find ample opportunity
of proving himself servant IN deed as well
as in name. There is plenty to be done In
Canada, and few men are so capable Of doing
It as Lord Aberdeen. Trnlitionally and per
sonally, Protestant, he has always cultivat-
ed the most friendly terms with Catholics.
and one Of the first and most significant of
his actions IN the Dominion OF Canada was to
overcome by a little kindly diplomacy the OBJ
stacles which have hitherto prevented the
friendly meeting Of the governor general and
the cardinal Of Quebec. Ii may pass the wit

greatest enthusiasm, and during
all the time he presided demon
strated his abilitv to do so to the
satisfaction of al, present. The
following resolutions were pre-
sented:
I'VE the Republicans of the
Third Senatorial district in con-
vention assembled, do hereby
re-affirm the platform of the last
National Convention at Min
neapolis, the declarations of Re-
publicans heretofore made and
adopted in State conventions. and
we particularly adopt and re-
affirm the platform of the State
League of Republican clubs held
at Fairmont June 10, 1894. We
denounce the Democratic legis-
lature of this State for It's unjust
gerrymander in the apportion-
ment of Senators and members
of the house of delegates to the
various counties and districts of
the State, whereby certain coun-
Ties of this State are deprived of
their Just and rightful repre-.
sentation.
I'VE denounce the present
Democratic national admlnistra-
ton for its general display of in.
capacity and for its shameful
misuse of power in that it has
utterly failed to give the much
needed relief from the present
depression of business affairs.
Resolved, That as the Demo.
cratic party is now on it's retreat
we propose to do what we can to
accelerate its movements.
Resolced, That while the Demo.
cratic executive and Senators of
this country are engaged in
mangling es CHI other we will aid
IN the work by holding the coats
Of both sides.
RESOLVED, That in opposing
whatever the Democrats favor
we are sure to be right.
Resolced, That we endorse that
Mckinley tariff law and that we
favor an abundance of good
sound money to meet the wants
of the people.
RESOLVED, That we pledge a
patriotic and economic admins
ration of State affairs by the
Republican party from 1894 for

Deadlock By Uleareland.

We suggested recently that
President Cleveland should write
a ringing letter declaring that
under no circumstances would he
sign a tariff bill embracing a
scandalous Sugar Trust schedule
and an odious income tax. 1t
was disclosed last week that as
long ago as the I'd of this
month the President wrote a let
ter on the tariff bill to Prof.
Wilson, chairman of the House
Ways and Means Committee. In
this missive he piteously begs
that a Democratic Congress will
keep the oft-repeated Democrat.
ic promise of raw materials. He
apologies for, if he does not de
fend, the Sugar Trust, and com.
pletely accepts the Infamous in
famous income tax as one to be
deprecated, but as one which
does not violate a fixed and rec
ognized Democratic doctrine"
President Cleveland's letter is an
extraordinary document. 1t is
pertinent to the question, but
impertinent to the situation. 1t
is vehement in its demand only
for free raw materials. "to fulfill
Democratic pledges and the re.
demption ofDemocratic promises
to the people," The President
bluntly says that the compromise
bill engineered in the Senate by
Mr.. German falls far short OF
the consummation Tor which we
have long labored, for which we
have suffered defeat without dis.
couragement, which in its antici.
patton gave US a rallying cry in
our day of triumph, and which in
its promise of accomplishment is
so interviewer with Democratic
pledges and Democratic success
that our abandonment of the
cause of the principles upon
which it rests means party per.
fdy and1dishonor."
Above all things the President
asks that free raw materials shall
be provided, and he IS consistent
enough to refer to the absurdity
of the suggestion that the wool
of the farmer be put on the free
list and the protection of tariff
taxation be, placed around iron
ore and coal of corporations and
capitalists. On this question
there is no middle ground" But

here the courage Of the Presi-

gotten that our aim is the com.
pletion Of a tariff bill, and that
in taxing sugar for proper pur-
poses and within reasonable
bounds, whatever else may be
said of our action we are in no
danger of running counter to
Democratic principle. The let
ter closes with an appeal for an
honorable adjustment and com
promise, . even if that embraces
the acceptance of the income tax
rider. For a letter which begins
so pugnaciously this concluding
suggestion of compromise with
the Sugar Trust and surrender
to populists is, indeed, pitiful.
Advices from Washington in
dictate that the Presidents letter
isas likely to lead toa deadlock
as to a compromise. The House
and the Senate are arrayed
against each other by the Presi-
dent. 1t is a remarkable and un-
precedented situation. No Pres
ident but Grover Cleveland
would have thus impertinantlv
and unwarrantly intruded be-
tween the two houses of the leg
islative branch of the govern
ment. But the work has been
done, and now 1t remains for the
Republican members to do their
part.
In the House of Representa-
tives the Committee on Rules will
be able to stifie debate at any
time, but in the Senate no pre-
vious question can be put, and
the debate can be limitless.
Again we urge that the thirty
seven Republican Senators shall
agree together and make public
announcement that no bill as
