PARTY RECoNsTRUCrIoN.

having formed opinions adhere to
them as matter of consistency. To
change is not proof Of fickleness or
inconsistency; indeed, if it is done
intelligently, and for good reason,
it is the best evidence not only of
consistency but of wisdom. The
most consistent man is he who un-
swervingly follows his conviction.
1t is the fool or the moral coward
who never changes.
In matters of government, new
questions are constantly arising,
and men Of observation and reflect
ion are almost as constantly revis-
ing their opinions, which naturally
lead to reconstruction of political
parties to a greater or less extent.
The personnel Of parties has never
remained the same for any length
of time. 1t is often said there is
floating vote which goes from one
side to the other, and that it is
large enough when parties are any
where near equal to change the re-
suit of elections. This floating vote
has been supposed to be that Of
men who have no opinions, and are
moved by impulse rather than by
reason. At an early date in our
history, there was ground for con-
sidering the floating vote to be of
that character, but there has been
decided advancement OF the mass
es in intelligence and independence.
The floating vote, if it is proper to
give it that designation, is by the
intelligent and conscientious 1t lis
that vote which is now more likely
to control elections than the vote of
the ignorant or corrupt. Men who
pride themselves on their unchange-
ableness in politics have certainly
not read the history of their country
TO advantage.
In 1900, parties fell to pieces and
were reconstructed. Those who had
been opponents were found working
together in new organizations, They
went to pieces again in 1924, and
by 1928 new organizations were
formed, and in 1910 there was an
other reconstruction. The whig
party passed out of existence in
1856, and the, Republican party
came into existence. During the
war there was tremendous seces-
sion from the Democratic, and,
since the war, changes have been
frequent from one party to another,
and in the formation of new parties.
Reconstruction has been going on
in the present campaign, and what
ever may be the result of the elect
ion, there will exist two reconstruct
ed parties. On the issues presented,
Democrats have gone over to the
Republicans and Republicans have
gone over to the Democrats, who
regarding the financial as the para
mount question, have waived their
tariff notions and will continue to
hold them In subordination until
the money question is settled. So
it is with protective tariff Repub-
licans. The number of Democrats
who do not like the young Ameri-
canism of Bryan, have joined and
will remain with the moss back Re-
publicans. In the reconstruction,
activity and progress will be pitted
against fogyism. One side is and
will continue to be positive and the
other negative. 1t is upon these
lines that all parties have reformed
and waged their political battles.

Johnson says he is satisfied that the
timely use of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, during severe attack,
saved his little boys life. He is in
the drug business, a member of the
firm of Johnson Bros. of that place;
and they handle great many pat
ent medicines for throat and lung
diseases. He had all these to chose
from, and skilled physicians ready
to respond to his call, but selected
this remedy for use in his own fam

was in danger, because he knew it
to be superior to any other, and
famous the country over for it's

this is the best selling cough medi-

splendid satisfaction in all cases.

HUNDREDS OF OUTRAGED REPUBLICANS HEARD

INVESTIGATION.
There Is no exaggeratlon in saying that there Is
an uprislng Of honest Republicans in all the AS
semblv districts Of this city in consequence OF the
exposure of fraud. collision and sWindling IN the
recent enrolment and primaries shcn as seldom be-
fore has been known in the history of local politics.
Honest Republicans simply appalled, at the
situation And yet they are not so dazed as to be
unfit for action. The number of signed protests
already showered upon the Committee OF Enrol
ment at It's headquarters. No lab West Forty-iirst-
ST.. is upward of 1900. From one Assembly dis
,rict alone the signatures already sent in foot up

number of these written protests has reached l0~
Resides these formal protests in writing upon
nrined blanks letters excoriang the Platt-Lauter-
bach freebooter methods coming In in large
numbers.
To get some adequate idea of the enormty of the
frauds in the enrolment 1t is well to recall that the
total enrolment was 1900 The next fact to bring
TO bear Is that at the Tammany primaries just held
the total vote only 5000. Everybody knows
that these are perilous times with Tammany Hall.

and the total only 5000 Yet the Platt -lauter-
roment of more than three times the vote Of Tam
many Hall at the pr mares In a time OF need. -,
has s"e only been entered upon Only eight Of the
thrty-fve Assembly districts have been explored.
That these eight districts were not selected merely
as the most rotten samples of the handiwork Of
the Platt-Lauterbach people L. shown by the fol-
lowing statement made yesterday by Paul ID. era
vath Of tho Committee OF Investigation: The
work which the committee has done since last
Thursday, when Its first report was given out,
shows that the corrupt condition OF the enrolment
in the eight Assembly districts reported upon by
the Committee OF Investigation was only a fair
average sample OF the general condition In all the
Assembly districts. We going steadily with
our work. and honest Republicans will in due time
have still more cause for feelings OF Indignation
over the revelations
unparalleled audacity OF the PlattLauterbach gang.
one OF the most prominent Tammany Hall
said yesterday: Never before In the history of
politics has such revelation OF padding OF rolls
and frauds at primaries been made. 1t Is simply
marvellous

be held at the Windsor Hotel tonight to take fur
