THE NEW YoRN DEMOCRACY.

The New York Democratic state con-
vention met at Buffalo yesterday. The
first plank of the platform unreserved-
ly indorses the platform adopted by the
/ Chicago convention; approves it's nom
nations, and pledges Bryan and Sewall
its hearty support. The convention de-
clared as its deliberate judgment that
never in the history of the Democratic
party has a platform been written
which embodied more completely the in
terest Of the whole people as distin-
guished from those who seek legisla-
ton for private benefits, than that
given the country by the national Dem
ocratic convention in 1896"
At Chicago the New York delegation,
while it did not bolt, sulked, but the
New York Democracy in its state con-
vention is making amends. The lead
ing spirits Of the=Chicago delegation did
not participate in the Buffalo conven-
ton, and win doubtless support Pal
mer and Buckner, especially as MIR.
Cleveland will. What effect this will
have upon the fortunes of the party in
the state cannot be foretold: it will
hardly be SO great as they anticipate;
in fact. it is almost certain that Mr.
Bryan's recent trip through the state
Will more than offset the effects of their
detection.
Nothing more remarkable in Ameri-
can politics has occurred in recent
years than the change in sentiment on
the silver question in the Democratic
party in the states of New York, Con-
necticut and Massachusetts. Had any
one predicted before The Chicago con-
vention met that the party in those
states would have been for free silver
this fall his prediction would have
caused a smile. Unquestionably party
loyalty has had as much to do with
the change as any modification of sen
timent on the silver question: but that
party loyalty was so strong in this year
of bolts is no small wonder in itself.
The New York Democratic state con-
vention having indorsed the Chicago
platform and pledged its hearty support
to Bryan and Sewall, the Democrats
of the state will do all in their power
to elect them

THE ANGEL oF EyENT1pE.

Thou who dost cover all the land
In silence with thy soul OF rest;
flushing with soft and teEder hand
Dark swaying pine and twittering nest;
From thy fair, placid, saffron skies,
Come gently down with healing flight,
And seal with sleep woes weary eyes
Throughout the watches of the night!
Thou who, upon thy pinions fair,
Dost bear the sounds of vesper bells
Upon the holy twilight air,
Ger breezy downs and howery dells;
Amidst the loud-tongued, brazen psalms
And Silvery songs that SWeetly roll,
Bring thou heavens healing, perfect calm
To every stricken, weary soul!
Thou who, upon the quiet graves,
Dost calmly spread thy mantle gray,
BedeW the grass which Ger them waves
When Kith and kin are far away.
Kiss those who, in the gloom of death,
Through all nights dreary watches
weep;
And whisper with thy healing breath,
HE giveth His beloved Sleep
Thou who, in far-back Hebrew days,
Didst smile on Bethlehem's harvest gold
When fair Ruth stood with wistful gaze,
Between the new life and the old,
Deep yearning for the nobler part,
Beneath the holy, sapphire skies;
Smile chastely on each maiden's heart,
And fix on truth her eager eyes!
Thou who. on star-crowned Olivet,
Didst leave Him in the waning light
Reluctant oft, His fair locks wet
With the cold dew of falling night;
Who oft didst light, with kindly sky,
His way to sacred Bethany;
Have pity on the weary's sigh,
And lift each lone ones misery!
Thou who, with mystic, tender charm,
Dost bring all weary ones to rest
The folded lambs safe home from harm,
The babe close to its mothers breast,
The swallows to the sheltering caves,
The lark down to his grassy sod;
Make sweet our dreams which fancy
weaves,
And leave US in the love of GodI

TOsrORRow's CONVENTION.

The Democratic county convention

the county are demanding that only
the best men be elected to office this
year, and that party which shall place

party can rely upon the plea of party
fealty 10 make certain that its mem
bers will support its ticket. To receive
support this year tickets must com
mand confidence and respect. The
voters and taxpayers of Salt Lake
county are heartily tired of incom-
petcnce and extravaganza in the man
agement of county affairs. AS times
have become harder and harder they
have seen the taxes go higher and
higher and the county debt increase

the voters through blind craftsmanship,
chose them to manage the county's
affairs. It is time that blind partisan
ship gave way to common sense. If
any party puts up a ticket that is not
worthy Of support, the members of the
party which puts it up should vote
against it.

these facts in mind it will name

support: If it does not, it will not No
mistake will be made if nominations
are made with the single aim of caring
for the interests of the taxpayers of

"TuRN THEM OUT OF OFFICE,

There are very few people in this
world to whom il does not make a great
deal Of difference whose OK is gored.
The OK of that staunch supporter of MIR.
Cleveland and the gold standard, the
Chicago Chronicle, has been getting
glored, apparently. In its issue of Tues
day last liz advises the president re-
gardfng his duty towards those federal
oficeholders who are supporting Mr..
Bryan. It declares that EVERY Office
holder under the administration who is
neglecting his official duties to aid in
tine election of the Populist candidate
for president should be removed. 1t is
amazing that any appointee of the
president should be so far lost to all
sense of honor and decency as to retain
mis- place in the federal service while
giving his support 10 a candidate whose
campaign is a direct assault upon the
administration. There are many such
appoineees, however, and if they cannot
see the proprieny of rendering theia,
designations they should be removed
from Office"
To the Chronicle, no doubt, every
oflceholder who agrees with Mr.. Bryan
and proposes to support him at the
polls In November is guilty of neglect
ing his official duties" Are federal
offices the personal peruuisire of the
president to be bestowed as rewards
for feaaty to him? And must those who
hold them have no thought but his
thought? Must they thumb up or thumb
down or wiggle-waggle as he says
Thumbs up" Thumbs down." or
'Wiggle-waggle?" Should officehold-
ers be sycophants or should they be
men? The Chronicle seems to hold the
theory that loyalty is due to Mr.. Cleve-
land personally and not to the govern
ment. The country is not as yet pre-
pared to adopt Emperor williams con-
stTuction OF the doctrine of lese maieste.
We heartily agree with our Chicago
contemporary that every oficeholder
under the administration who is neg
Letting his official duties to aid in the
election Of the Populist candidate Cwho
must be Mr.. Watson) or any candidate,
should be removed. The enforcement
of this rule would deprive the country
OF the services of several cabinet Of
fees, and such distinguished public SER
wants as Comptroller Eckels, Postmas-
ter Wash Hesing and others. By all
means let them be removed; let civil
service reform begin at the fountain
head.
