THE WORLDS OPINION

New York. July 1O.-The World. in its
editorial on the Democratic nominal
tion. will say:
"Lunacy having dictated the plat
form. it was perhaps natural that hys-
terra should evolve the candidate The
nomination of boy orator for the
White House at this juncture of the
nations affairs. domestic and foreign.
when the ripest experience, the best
wisdom. the broadcast patriotism. and
the greatest executive ability are re-
quired, comes perilously near taking
the one fatal step from the sublime.
''It is to the future that the World
looks in considering the effect Of this
convention. There is no doubt as to
the result of the election. except as
to the size of the Mckinley popular
and electoral majority. To question
this is to question the intelligence, the
underlying honesty and the public NOR
atty of the people"

THIEVES AT SEASIDE.

Seaside, Or. July 10, 1896.
Editor Astorian:-
1 noticed an item in your paper the
other day regarding Seaside, which
throws some reflection on me as a bus
mess man. Allow me to say that we
are all doing what we can to bring to
justice those who commit the depreda-
tions complained of. But the people
whose cottages have been broken into,
stand around and openly accuse people
of stealing, but are afraid to get out
a warrant for their arrest. The gem
tleman who informs you is evidently
one of that kind, and is afraid to cause
any ones arrest. even If he had the
evidence upon which to do so. I do
not think this gentleman is doing the
cause any good by blowing himself In
a newspaper He is perhaps one Of the
kind who has trouble with some one
and is not brave enough to fight it out
himself, but calls on the business men
to do so. Yours truly,
]. H. JOHANNSEN.

from Mr.. Megler for use in buying fish.

Persons living in the neighborhood of
Franklin road and Roanoke street have
been worried considerably lately by Al
gang of boys that loaf ON the corner and
make insulting remarks as pedestrians
pass. This gang is composed of ten or
twelve boys, and they have on numerous
occasions seen fit to rock both men and
boys who happen to pass. One of the
citizens of the neighborhood told n

pervading, the audience showed n deep
religious feeling. There were no CONVEX

pected that many more people will be-
come interested and thus swell the at
