ROYAL FAMILY ATTACKED
mr. TAyyEAs SHARP THRUST AT
NIKE or CAMBRIDGE.
he Creates sensstion ia the House OF
Commons-He Is Declared out OF Ut
der by the Speaker of That Body.

LONDON, May 9.-Dr. Tanner anu
ParpeIlite for the Middle Division OF
Cork. caused much excitement in the
House of Commons tonight by a sharp
attack upon the Royal family. At mid
uight. on a motion to adjourn. he rose
and asked. with a considerable show OF
feeling:
rs the report true that the Duke OF
Cambridge. the commander-in-chief OF
the army. is retiring to make way for
better mani"
There were loud cries for order but
Or. Tanner ignored them. rs the time
come at last he continued, when
member OF the Royal family, VINO mas
been drawing the peoples money 100
Ions. is going to retire.?
Confusion CREATED.
The second question increased the con-
fusion. Shouts of Name him. came from
the Conservative side. and the Speaker
rose with his eyes fXed upon the irish
member Or. Tanner remained standing.
Are these remarks in order?' asked
George BARLEY. Conservative.
"They are not. replied Speaker Gully.
They are entirely out OF order.
Most members supposed that Dr. Tan
ner would succumb TO this rebuke. The
Conservative cheers which greeted the
Speakers declaration, however, seemed TO
enrage him With a quick gesture OF dis
dain. he bawled at Mr.. Ellis, the sole oc-
cLpant of the Treasury bench.
What l wish 10 know is whether his
Royal Hignness is going 10 retire"
There was TO answer.
The Speaker put the motion 10 adjourn,
which was formally al proved, Dr Tanner
meanwhile gcsticulating violently and try
ing ito address the house. The pains
taken by Mr.. Campbell Banneramn, on
April 3d. to deny that his Royal High
ness was about 10 retire, apparently had
a bad effect upon the Nationalist anu
Radicals. The critics Of His Royal High
ness contend that he opposes every re
form in the army and is incompetent.
useless. and expensive The agitation has
begun spreading among the more mod
crate journals.

Platforms and Candidates.

In his recent speech before the Georgia

Yer ex-Speaker Crisp said many good
things. and many others not 50 good
Among the latter was his contention
that the states which elect the President
OF the United states should make the
platform OF the party. Mr.. Crisp would
find u impracticable TO carry his pTopO-
siiion into effect. How is it 10 be ascer-
tanned beforehand which states viii vote

Democratic ticket In lss9 ought to make

the questions which were deemed the
most important in 1872 may not H. before

platforms OF both parties made double

Democratic National Convention Of 1896

and thus IL will be settled next year, il

But. when il comes up in the national
convention. what states would MI.

competing propositions OF settlement;
What States would Mr. crisp allow to
vote on the question OF the establishment
Of a State-bank system? What States
on thu Hawaiian question; What States
ON the question Of the completion OF
the Nicaraguan question; And 80 on, TO
the end Of the chapter. Oh. no. The eX-
listing system cannot b. improved upon
But. II the States which elect the
President ought To lay down the plat
form. surely the same States ought to
make the nominations. 40 reason can
be given I'm the one case which Will not
apply IN the other. The two-thirds rule
has been Ia force in Democratic national
conventions Tor many. many years. ana
nobody has been put before the people
