which this country suffers.
| 1t will be a subject Of no littl
interest, the making Of the mex
state Democratic platform. UpOl
what original it will be modelled
does not yet apper. 1t will hav,
to steer clear of both the Nationa
platform and that enunciated a
Houston two years ago or there
will be no agreement.
1t is war to the hilt between
Tammany and Cleveland, and if in
the end Cleveland is worsted he
can lay the fiattering JUNCTION to
his soul that he did it by violating
the Victoria hotel contract.
That Congressional election in
New York, in which there was a
change of over twenty-five thou
sand votes since last election,
shows how this free trade business
suits the Empire state.
The Waco News has discovered
that the Clark masses are ready to
accept the olive branch that Hogg
offered at Dallas. Hogg would give
his old boots to be as certain of
that as the News is.
There appears to be very little of
the Democrat about Admiral Ben
ham, judging from his views upon
the foreign relations of this coun-
try to others. The old Admiral is
true American.
The Mitchells were not in it, and
Florida will do well to keep her
part of the family in a little more
retirement in the future than in the
past. Corbett has settled the hash
for the other one.
The Populists have a habit of
singing language with a celebrity
that is astonishing when they open
on the Democracy. They have a
wide field for the exercise Of their
linguistic talents.
If Willis is given his walking
papers at Honolulu and Thurston
at Washington, it may be that this
administration will see its way
clearly to letting Hawaii mind her
own concerns.
The Fort Worth Gazette thinks
that President Dole Of Hawaii
owes Cleveland an apology. If so
what does Cleveland owe Dole for
attempting 10 overthrow his gov
eminent?
Tammany is ready to bank it's
everlasting all on the defeat of the
income tax rider to the tariff bill.
This is one of the strongest argu-
ments in favor OF that tax being
imposed.
The Democracy is a failure in
tariff reform, in civil service re-
form, in financial matters and in
foreign policy. AS a failure the
party is distinguished success.
Uncle Sam sends his congratula-
tions to Admiral Benham for his
prompt Intervention to prevent
any imposition upon American
commerce at Rio.
Campbell, of Ohio, will have to
hump himself if he is to be COVER
nor of that state in time to make it
a stepping stone to the presidency
of the Nation.
There is this consolation in the
situation, Texas would be as safe
In the hands OF Nugent as it has
been in the hands Of it's present
governor.
If the party of the third part can
crawl into power through that
Democratic split it is just ready
to do the crawling.
The irony Of fate could go no
farther in that line than to decree
that Pete Jackson should knock
Corbett out Of time.
In the fight between the Senate
and the President the New York
candidates for honOrs are the prin-
cipal victims.
A man like Admiral BenhaIn
must feel lonesome in the pres
ence of this Democratic admins
tration.
What Tammany does not want

1t is for Congress to say whether
the Nicaragua canal shall be an
