New York. November 2s-one Of the
most interesting games Of football that
has ever been played in this vicinity
was that which took place this after
noon on Manhattan field between teams
representing the Brown University and
the Carlisle Indian school, and which
resulted in a score Of "a TO u for the
Brown eleven.
Their were many exciting incidents
and. although the result was disastrous
TO the Indians. their play was excellent.
The Indians were looked upon by the
knowing ones as sure victors. but the
Brown University boys more than held
their own.

We hope the report is true that if the

plank they will join with the gold men
in support of distinotiyely gold plank,
plank that says gold as we'll as means
gold; and we also hope that this union
of forces will constitute majority OF
the convention. The pressing question
of the day is the currency question, and
business is certain to lag until it is def
nitely settled. 1t can only be settled by
bringing it to a direct issue. If the Re.
publicans adopt straddling platform
the election of the Republican ticket will
not settle the question. There will re-
main apprehension that the next admin
istration may make some concessions to
silver, may approve some new purchas-
ing act, and there will not be that feel
ing Of certainty which is absolutely es-
sential to q restoration of confidence
without which there can be no perma-
nent business revival. But if the Repub-
licans adopt clear cut platform for tho
maintennce of the existing standard of
value and against any mole monkeying
with the currency, then the election of
the Republican ticket will put an end to
the worst doubts that are paralyzing
business and business men, and the way
VIII be clear for the revival of business
upon a sound and permanent basis. The
tariff question is important, but the cur
rency question takes precedence in the
public mind and until that is settled
there can be no restoration of confidence
among business men.

If the Mckinley psople have all the
delegates they claim, 1t seems to the
height of folly to urge the national COM
mittse to decide all the contested seats in
McKinIey's favor. After nomination
comes election, and it is exceedingly I'M
ings. Many Republicans, among them
MIR. Hanna, are beginning to perceive
that there is likely to be very severe
struggle if the Democrats resolve for
free silver and thus consolidate the sill.

all the harmony they can get will be
needed to ensure Republican success.

1t strikes US that Mr.. Manley's expla-
nation is not of the kind that explains
anything. Whether anybody or every
body would have thought just as Mr..
Manley did after the vote on the Ala bama
contest is not the question. 1t Is not for
his thoughts that MIR. Manley is being
severely and justly criticized. 1t is for
deliberately sending despatch all over
the country without any good reason, alb
tectly surrendering the cause which he
was at St. Louis to represent. Had he
in moment of excitement incautiouslv
given vent to his opinion and this opin-
ion been caught up by some newspaper
reporter and telegTaphed ell over the
land good deal could have been said in
extenuation of him. But it appears that
after the meeting OF the committee he
retired to his room, carefully
framed his despatch and then sent for the
agents Of the two press associations and
had it sent broadcast, never consulting
either MIR. Reed or single one of his
friends. Mr.. Platt is fully aware that the
cau7e of his candidate is hopeless but he
has not taken pains to tell the country so
and it is safe to say that he will not.
