The Democratic Platform.

We cannot help thinking the Demo
cratic platform, as formulated for the
municipal election, lacks wisdom. While
there is much in 1T that every Demo-
crat will enthusiastically endorse. there
is also much that had better be left
nected with the management OF this
campaign was out of touch with popu-
lar sentiment, and also as if there was
something wrong with the working gear
of the party.
The Van Reipen incident is most I'M
fortunate. 1t is hard to understand why
the only ONE to head the ticket WITH
out any communication with him or any
assurance that he would run. TIL cases
of MIR. Hoos and Mr.. Harvey are almost
equally strange. The defeat of Mr.. Cone
was another serious error, and now this
platform gives a sinister significance
to it.
This is not the time for faul finding.
We are not inclined to divide our own
forces in the face of the enemy. We
CONNER on the facts simply in the rope
that a better tone and more consistent
effort may be put into the campaign from
now to Election Day. The Repub-
licans are divided. The McEwan-Mc-
Arthur squabble alone should be
enough to guarantee a Democratic VIC
tory, If the fight were made in the right
way. Let US not throw away the oppor-
tunaty by careless work or by substitu-
ting personal prejudice for sound fact in
presenting the Issues. It is far from be-
ing too hate to organize a Democratic
triumph Let Is replace the declining
candidates with equally good men, let
us put Mr.. Cone back on the ticket TO
fill one of the vacancies, thus utilizing
the enemy's ammunition for ourselves.
And If we want an issue, what is the
matter with the broken pledges of the
present Legislature. On that platforms
we can force McEwan and Gruber and
Schober and other Republicans to dance
to our music.

Partisan polt,,c. and Foreign Peril.

Partisan Polffics and Foreign Peril.
Once again the infamy of the Republi-
can press is apparent in its dealings with
the National administration. 1t is adj
mitted on all hands that this is q time
oe difficulty. The country has more
one foreign ENHANCEMENT on its hands,
and the Administration is burdened with
the responsibility of maintaining, not
also the living force of the Monroe doc
trine.
In such a period of stress, 1t would
be thought that all patriotic citizens
would unite IN support of the Govern
mont. All petty. partisan feelings, one
would suppose. would disappear and the
honor and glory of the country would
be the only consideration
Not so. The partisan press seizes upon
the existing difficulty as a rare chance
for vexatious attacks upon the President
and his ministers. 1t is not ever nee
essary that they should be true. When
truth fails. absolute falsehood suits the
turn of the Republican editor. Thus, we
find the papers of last evening and this
morning full of reports of differences
between the President and Secretary
Gresham. 1t is represented by one. thai
the Cabinet is on the verge of disrup-
tion and by mother that the President
has ordered a clean back down from
all the positions that the Secretary has
.taien up. These reports. while they
must cause the deepest modification te
their victims are important only be
cause they affect public confidence. They
shake the strength of the government
by making the people divided and vacil
lating. Furthermore. the cabling of thess
reports abroad is calculated to affec
disastrously, whatever diplomatic negotia
ttons may be in progress. England O
