DID NOT MEAN TO BE FAIR

1t appears that the Glob was in
error in attributing the criticism of
Mr.. A. 7. Ankeny's letter by the
Minneapolis Times to careless read
Ing of the letter itself, instead of a
deliberate determination to be IN
fair. We were willing out of courtesy
to assign its conduct to the former
motive. 1t says itself that
1t was the latter. 1t would
certainly be a more venial

QUAY ON TOP.

It has been known to those who
announced by the G | o b immedi-
ately after the selection of dele
gates in Philadelphia, that Senator
Quay would be in control of the
Pennsylvania state convention. He
has made the fight of his life, and
won with apparent ease. With his
nomination as chairman Of the state
committee, he is put in a position
from which nothing can dislodge
him, the acknowledged boss of the
keystone state. This result was
achieved, at the last moment, by a
deal with the opposition whose par
ticularS will only be learned later
Up to Tuesday night, the anti-Quay
forces were ready to go to any
lengths to prevent him from becom-
ing absolute dictator. Two halls had
been engaged, and there was every
prospect of a double convention and
a split in the party. What PROPOSE
tions were made to Gilkeson and
Hastings to induce them to come
into camp, Quay knows better than
any one else. He is a past master in
that art; but they were finally
brought over and harmony prevailed
on the surface, though there is deep
and bitter resentment in a, large por-
tion of the party over the complete
surrender to all that is worst in it.
Nothing in the whole performance
is more remarkable than the monu-
mental impudence of this man. He
is known throughout the United
States as one of the most daring
and least scrupulous politicians of
the day. He has stood for all that
is hateful and pernicious in politics.
He has built up and maintained his
influence by methods that are alb
horrent to all ideas of good govern
ment, and even to the maintenance
of free institutions. Yet this man.
whose name has become a byword.
has actually posed as the representa-
tive of reform, and offered in the
convention a series of resolutions de-
claring against the use of money in
politics, and for the exclusion of pub
lie employees from work at the pri-
maries and in conventions. The hy-
procrisy of this may have been
equaled, but its effrontery never. 1t
Us quite fitting that such a man. and
a party Which has produced him and
now submissively follows his lead
Should assail his opponents with vir-
ulence and falsehood. But he gives
us at least one variation on the old
song. He does not attribute the re-
turn of prosperity to the victory of
the Republicans in 1894, but to 1.-The
expectation of Republican success
in 1896" Thus he crowns with a halo
the attenuation of a shade, and gives
an appropriate finish of the ridicu-
lous to a political meeting at which
the name of Matthew S. Quay can be
spoken in the same sentence with
reform and purity in politics. There
is no break in the burlesque. Theo-
dore Roosevelt once characterized
Pennsylvania as the Boeotia of
America. 1t has fallen below that
now, by as much as the active in
dorsement, worship and reward of
all that is worst in public life is low
er than mere political stolidity.

doubt that some adjustment will be
reached, but no one can forecast what
1T will be. There is a constant hedg-

Get Ont That Platform.

Courier-Journal.
In the face of this schism a divided
canvass and certain defeat stare the
party and the ticket in the face. If
Gen. Hardin cannot without the loss
of his self respect modify his views
so as to meet the demands of a. plat
form adopted upon square issue,
how can he or his friends expect those
whose position was indicated by the
adoption of that platform to stultify
themselves by yielding the very point
decided by the convention?

Surprise is expressed in some quar-
tiers at the warmth of Senator Brice's
eulogy of President Cleveland in his
speech opening the Ohio Democratic
convention. There is nothing surpris-
ing about it. Senator Brice has been
on the wrong side sometimes; this
time he sees the desirability of getting
on the right side. For he is an as
tute politician.

THE PLATFORM.

'The Republican party of Pennsyl.
Vania, in convention assembled, makes
the following declaration of principles:
I'VE. accept unreservedly the deter
minat.on enunciated by the Repub-
lican national convention of 1892; that
we demand the use of both gold and
silver money, with such restrictions
and under such provisions, to be deter,
mined by legislation, as will secure
the maintenance of the parity of value
of the two metals SO that the pur-
chasing and debt-paying power of the
dollar, whether of silver, gold or paper,
shall at all times be equal. Faithful
TO the Republican party, and believing
1t to be the settled doctrine of the
party that the honor of the nation and
the interest of the citizens require the
maintenance OF the national currency,
every dollar Of which, whether in gold,
silver or notes. shall be of stable
value and of equal purchasing power,
1t hereby declares its opposition to the
debasement of the national currency
by the admission OF silver to free and
unlimited coinage at the arbitrary
ratio of 16 TO /.
I'VE declare our continued adher.
ence to the protective policy which has
been so sturdily championed for I00

IN SIR M'CURDY'S HONOR.
A great number of knights and their
ladies turned toward Mechanics hall
this evening to attend a grand recep-
ton, held in honor of Grand Master
Most Eminent Sir Hugh McCurdy, by
the grand commandery of Massachu-
sets and Rhode Island. Fully 5000
couples were presented by Gen. Sam
uel G. Lawrence, grand master of the
commandery, to the honored guest
The hall presented a brilliant spec
tacle, the elaborate and many hued
costumes of the ladies blending in
pleasing harmony with the dark and
profusely ornamented regalias of the
Knights. Seated behind the receiving
party, the Salem Cadet band dis
coursed a programme of excellent Sc
lections. Prior to closing the recep-
ton the members of the Little Mason
ic home, of Louisville, KY, marched
into the hall and on to the platform,
where Grand Master McCurdy made
short address urging them to be
good and true men.
PITTSBURG NEXT TIME.
1t was learned tonight that the CHM
mlttee on time and place have report
ed in favor of Pfttsburg for the next
trlenn1al conclave. 1t is asserted that
this is practically equivalent to a, vote,
as the report of the committee will
without doubt be ratified at tomor-
rows session. The Masonic Veterans
association held it's triennial convoca-
ton today in Masonic temple, and
elected the following officers: Presi-
dent, 5. T. Williams, of Newark, O.;
W. w. Lee, Connecticut, and James
Slater Kentucky, vice presidents;
John M. Garter, Baltimore, orator; Ed

Session Laws Have Not Reached
the People.
To the Editor of the Globe: Is there
any one in st. Paul or out of it saw
ing those who are making the delay,
able to explain the delaying of the
publication of the laws passed at the
last session of the legislature of Min
nesota? The Pioneer Press and the
West Publishing company issued their
editions in May, about a month after
the adjournment. The regular state
edition is still waiting and those for
whose use it was intended are yet
waiting. Has. anybody got a cinch
on the secretary of state by means
of which the copies voted for distri-
button under the state law are held
back until those of private parties
or firms can be sold out. This thing
is growing wearisome. If the public
printer has so much to do that he
cannot get this job out seasonably,
why not divide the work and give it
to somebody that can? This business
has been going on biennially until it
has become chronic. Let US have the
session laws before they are all re-
pealed, even if some of the favorites
do not make SO much money.

Instead OF sending out one or more OF
the regular battallOns OF the army a COM

up of small detachmants OF volunteers. or
OF drafted men from several regiments.
Another lesson has been learned from
