10 all appearances the advantage is
clearly with Platt. When he left here,
his persistent hostility to Mr.. McKlnley's
candidacy, when the Ohioan was certain
to be the nominee was imperilling his
supremacy in the party in New York.
His opponents seemed really to be max
ing head at last against him. Opportu-
nifty had enabled them to pretend to be
rallying about Mr.. Mckinley. while they
were rallying against Plat. Men who
have hesitated to take the fed openly
against the boss now courted the contest.
With the aid Of Mr.. McKinleys managers
they believed that they could win and
dethrone Platt at St. Louis in the signt
OF the whole country. AS it proved, they
under estimated the ability. the courage
and the foresight OF their opponent. They
underestimated their own capacity for
much folly. 1t wss said in these letters
when Platt departed TO St. Louis that
he was going thither we'll aware that he
could not prevent the Ohioan's nomina-
ton, but resolved to make the best pos
sible fight for an explicit declaration for
that he represented public opinion here
and that he could regain his control of
his party. How persistently and adroit-
ly he fought, and how complete a victory
he and Mr.. Lodge gained Is an old and
familiar story. There was never a pref
tier instance of personal luminosity than
the instructions certain New York jour
nails, opposed to him, sent to their CORE
spondents ut ST. Louis to be little, OF at
least to keep silent concerning his good
work. Evidence multiplies that thesbusi-
ness community understands and appre-
ciates it. Never in the last four years
has 1t held him in.such high and gene raj
regard. livery fair-minded man has in
the past realized his courage. Now his
ability to conduct stubborn ard diff
cult political contest is similarly estab-
lislled beyond peradventure. 1t ia sorry
meanness to distsain PIatts good work
in righteous cause at ST. Louis. To
applaud it az it deserves does not argue
approval OF the man, his methods or his
doings in other matters. To deny him
the prestige that he has regained Is TO
shut ones eyes to tho truth.

MIR. wHITNEY's LETTER.

The letter Of the Hon. William @. Whit
ney to his Democratic silver brethren Is
strong document and ON the whole a
discreet one. He has skilfully avoided
saying anything that will intensity the
prejudice already felt by the silver men
against the gold wing of tho party, and
he has skilfully too based his principal
argument against the free coinage of
silver by this country alone on the ground
that its ultimate effect would be to pre-.
vent an agreement with foreign nations
by which silver might be used safely and
permanently. He has also absolved him
self from all suspicion that his advice
might he Influenced by his own personal
ambition by declining absolutely to ac-
cept the nomination under any and all
circumAlnes. Such a letter ought to
have some effect. Yet upon the silver
men we are inclined to think it will have
none Mt all. 1t may, and doubtless will,
revive the spirits of the gold Democrats 80
that they will make stronger fight than
they otherwise would; but we fear the
silver men will simply scott at it.
MIR. Whitney and the other sound
money Democrats have made the mistake
of waiting too long. The silver men
are 2ow flushed with victory. and in
that state of mind are not likely to sur
render the fruits of their triumph at the
request of the men whom they have de-
feated. Whsn the contest was doubtful,
they might perhaps have been prevailed
upon to make some concession. but now
that victory is within their grasp they are
not likely to be turned aside by either
argument or appeal.
Furthermore. we doubt if an argument
by Mr.. Whitney would at any time have
had any effect to turn the silver men

CURRENT COMMENT.
THE COUNTRY CANNOT SPARE
HIM.
(Kennebec Journal. !


From the first we have regarded the
report that Mr.. Reed would retire from
Congress and enter upon the pro ctice OF
law in New York city either as an inven
ton of the enemy or an idle rumor. The
country cannot spare Mr.. Reed from the
national councils. 1t is his duty to
remain and 10 public man has a keener
sense OF duty than he, nor is there one
whom People more implicitly trust TO
perform it, This is one reason why he
cannot be- spared. 1t falls to the lot of
but few men to go thorrgh such an or
deal as he did. when, between personal
am bition on the one side and duty to his
party and country on the other. he un-
questioningly chose the latter on every
occasion. He is a stronger statesmman
both by reason Of that experience and
by reason of the knowledge which the
public theraby gained of his rugged and
grand character. He might say II have
all the distinction as member of Con-
gross which 1t is possible to attain. and
owe it to myself to win for my family
more OF the worlds goods than it is pos
sible to do in public life.'' All this
would be true. Mr.. Reeds distinction
as Speaker of the House in two memor-
able Congresses is not ovsrshadowed bv
that of any Office in the lapd. And this
is another reason why he cannot be
spared. He is needed there especially
dnring the trying days of reconstruction
that must follow the Republican party's
accession to control of the government.
The recent reports that Mr.. Reed will
allow his name to go before the voters of
the First District this fall are not au-
thenticated, but they are undoubtedly
true, and though not unexpected are
nevertheless very gratifying to Republi.

s If the tenor of Consul General Lee
reports from Cuba is given correctly VIC
would seem to be on the eve of some I'M
portant action by the administration rel
alive to Cuba. Gen. Lee was undoubted-
ly selected by the President as consul
general because the President believed he
and make correct report to him, and
whatever he says is likely to be accepted
by the administration as sufficient basis
for determining its policy toward the
island. The statement of this conclusion
is not official Of course aud may be moth
ing better than guess work, but if it is
near tbs truth we may look for some
important developments shortly.

New York, June 1s-(Special.)- There was
no feature in the cotton market today, ex-
cept the eccentric fluctuations of August
which opened at 7.37, advanced to TAO, re-
acted to 49, again advanced to 7.4O and
finally broke to 7.25, closing at 726Qo7.N, with
the tone steady. During these lively
changes the price of the next crop months
auctuated within a range of less than 3
points. Everybody is waiting to see whether
or not the Texas drought is going to be
broken by adequate rains. Nobody can
tell what August may do, but taking the
chances we would rather sell than buy the
rest of the list.
