THE LETTER WRITING CRAZE,

1t is said that since Major Mckinley
was nominated for the presidency he
has received an average of two thousand
letters day, congratulating him on his
nomination. The fact that Senator
Teller, who has not been formally ten
dered nomination for the presidency,
but who has been alluded to by promi-
nent citizens as certain to stand in such
position, has also received tremendous
ly large number Of letters since the st.
Louis convention, would indicate that
letter writing had developed into pro-
portions in this country that might well
be termed "craze." OF course there is
not an average of 1000 people who have
something really worth communicating
to Mckinley each day. If they stop to
think, the greater number of them are
among those whose letters will never
reach the attention of the nominee.
There is no basis for hope in the event
of his election, that such formal express
ion Of congratulation as these letters
contain, would prove stepping stone
up to the public crib, which they desire
to reach, At such time the nominee
of great party in country of seventy
millions of people, has other matters to
claim his attention and of greater i'm
portance than the perusal of letters of
congratulation from thousands of people
Of average prominence and influence or
even to glance over such list of names.
Those who receive responses will always
remain in reasonable doubt that the
person to whom their attention was paid
is in absolute ignorance of the fact. And
yet, like any other craze, the practice is
followed up just as persistently asthough
there were basis for real satisfaction
therein and the purpose of engaging an
army of clerks, large enough to give
notice to every one, is polite encourage.
ment thereto, even though it must be
admitted that the only excuse for the
the effort fails of its aim.

THE PLATFORM.

The platform adopted at Chicago Is
an enunciation OF Democratic principles
from beginning to end, and it is entitled
to more than the usual consf deration.
Its, inordinate length is mainly due to
the addition of large and varied assort-
ment Of supplementary planks i7tro-
duoed by specialists, but its length will
not deter people from readingit. Start
ing With the preamble OF 1--WE, the
Democ of the United States ia
National convention assembled, do re-
affirm our allegiance to those great essen.
tial principles Of justice and liberty upon
which our institutions are founded and
which the Democratic party has advoca
ted from Jefferson's time to our own.
freedom of speech, freedom Of the press.
freedom Of conscience, the preservation
of personal rights, the equality of all
citizens before the law, and the faithful
observance OF Unconstitutional Limitations. !"
1t applies these ideas to the necessi-
ties Of the time and points out the
antagonistiG tendencies of the Republi-
can policy This is what platform
ought to do.
The money plank is so clear and un.
equivocal that none can misunderstood
the issue Of the great conflict that is
upon us. 1t condemns the single gold
standard in the plainest of English and
demands the free and unlimited and in.
dependent coinage Of both gold and
silver at the ratio of 16 to !, and in the
same unambiguous language it opposes
the issuing Of interest. bearing bonds in
time of peace.
On the tariff question it takes no
backward step They have no more use
for the Mckinley law now than they had
four years ago, and then they denounced
it as the eliminating atrocity of class
legislation. They are averse to any tariff
changes until the money question is
settled except such as are necessary to
supply the deficit in revenue that was
caused by the reckless decision of q
partisan supreme court.
On other questions of minor impor-
tance the platform is equally emphatic.
1t opposes thethird term idea; it re.
cognizes the just claims of deserving
union soldiers; it extends sympathy to
the people of Cuba in their heroic strug-
gle for liberty and independence, and it
denounces the reckless extravaganza Of
the last Republican Congress.

THE CONTEST SETTLED AND CON.
TESTANTS SATISFIED.

Hon Edward S. Raft has returned from
Chicago where he and Hon. John II.
Clarke of Youngstown, were contesting
the seats of Conrad SchweitZer and
Wilson S. Potts as delegates to the
National Democratic convention. Mr..
Raft says that the National committee
gave them fair hearing, that they have
no fault to find and that they gracefully
accept the result.
There were two other contests one in
Michigan and one in Nebraska that
hinged on the same point. The money
question did not enter into the contest
at all, The question as to whether the
National committee could go behind the
record OF the State convention to open
up a district fight, was the only one to
consider in all three of the cases. TEf
18th district contestants had their cre'
dentials signed by the permanent chair
man and secretary of the Democratic
State convention. The same thing was
true of the Indiana and Michigan con
test. By vote of "a to II the National
committee decided they could not
reopen district fight. This
decision placed the gold delegates O
Michigan and the silver delegates o.
Indiana and the 18th Ohio district OF
the temporary roll,
The contest is settled and settled b!

has teen a direct detriment to Jones,
for it has carried the impression every

he was in a bad box or he would not
have secured Coffin as his attorney.

been a milestone about the neck of
Jones, but we don't think that he could
discharge Coffin as he V lets go Of
