REMARKABDE COUP d. ETAT.

On the face Of it, the nomination OF
Thomas c. Platt for United States SEN
ator by the Republicans of the New
York Legislature. in caucus, was one
OF the greatest compliments ever paid
to a statesman. The nomination, which
was equivalent to an election, was al
most unanimous. 142 votes being given
to Mr. Platt and only to his single
opponent, Joseph II. ChOate. Mr.. Platt
had announced that he was not a can
didate. his name was not proposed in
the caucus. while that Of Mr.. Choate
was: he was not supposed to be under
consideration for the Office, yet, when
the voting began, one legislator after
another announced that Mr.. Platt was
his choice for United States senator
until nearly all had given this appar-
emily spontaneous tribute to his emf
nent ability and distinguished merit.
II was q beautiful exhibition of this
ideal republican form of government
/ this free choice by the unbiased repre-
hsentatives OF an unfettered people OF
their best and noblest man for the
highest Office in their gift. What a pity
that the wicked newspapers had "a
snoil Il all by showing that the whole
performance was merely the perfect
working OF an unusually well con
structed political machine.-Philadel

cosr OF THE CONVENTION.

Outside OF strong division of opin-
ion in making the various county Of
fees elective instead of being under the
guberratorial wisdom and function,
there Is no doubt that Delawares Con
stitutional Convention OF 81 is some
thing to be proud of.
The split in public opinion over maxi
ing the county offices elective, we have
no doubt will receive most careful
consideration on the part of the
learned and thoughtful delegates before
the project is enacted into rigid consti-
tutional law. A strong sentiment
seems to oppose any act stripping the
states executive of this power, setting
forth that the thing to do is to elect
good governors and they will appoint
men of individual merit, thus keeping
the office free Of election kings who
can pull tho most wires or show the
biggest 'roll
There is also a slight difference OF
opinion as to final submission to the
people of the new Constitution. Many
conservative Delawareans hold that i
there is the slightest indication o
fighting it, the best thing to dowould bI
to not run any risks and proclaim it a
once.
Ten thousand dollars will not cove
the cost of the convention. Its mem
bers, thirty in number, receive 50
daV and mileage. Then the officers ar
to be paid, running the expenses up {
over 500 day in addition to the cos
of stenographers and supplies. II tn
convention should sit more than thirt
days, as is now inevitable, the expens
will reach a higher figure.

OUR OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

Nothing but praise is heard through
out the Grand Army of the Republic
for Commander-in-Chief Clarkson. He
has been all the comrades could have
desired. A man of unimpeachable
military and civilian record, constant,
faithful soldier, who enlisted at the first
gun and stayed until the last one; a
graceful and forcefGl public speaker,
and a man enthusiastic in the cause of
his comrades, he has greatly advanced
the cause of our glorious Order wherever
he has gone, and he has gone everywhere.
He has made an unprecedented record
of $4,000 miles of travel during his
term, and every mile has been a distinct
benefit to the Order. The highest praise
that can be given his administration is
that during a very discouraging year to
the country and every institution in it
the loss to the membership of the GA. r
has been as little as it has We hardly
think any other Order in the country
has held its membership SO we'll In a
large measure this good result has been
due to the activity and excellent man
agement of the Commander-in-C Chief and
his snbordnates.

THE NATIONAL ENCAMPMENr AT RICH
MOND.

The Young Mems Business Associa-
ton of Richmond, Va, announce that
they have given up hopes of securing
the GAR. National Encampment for
their city for next year, but will send
delegation to Buffalo to open up the
campaign for 1899. While We entirely
sympathize with the Young Mems Bust
ness Association in their avowed objects
of the obIiteration of sectionalism, the
establishment of better relations between
the people of the North and the South,
the advertisement of the unsurpassed
natural resources and advantages of
their city, and the introduction of more
progressive ideas in the South, we feel it
our duty to tell them frankly that until
there are signs of much better and more
generous feeling in Richmond toward
the Grand Army of the Republic they
will but waste their time in attempting
to secure the National Encampment
While the Grand Army of the Re-
public has the kindliest possible feeling
toward Richmond and the whole South,
and would like very much to visit the
Capital of the so-called Southern Con-
federacy, they are not going there or
any where else to receive grudging,
qualified hospitality, with the danger Of
actual insult, such as has been fore
Swallowed in the utterances of many
prominent men and papers in Richmond.
1t is not only an honor but an inn
mense pecuniary profit for any city to
entertain the National Encampment.
1t has left from 100000 to $4,000
600 in every city in which it has been
held for the last score of years. 1t is
infinitely the most profitable gathering
that any city can have within its gates.
National political Conventions are no
comparison to it. Only the hotel and
saloon-keepers profit by political Con
MENTIONS, while every class of reputable
merchants get large increase of trade
from the presence of the immense
throngs of moneyspenders who attend
the National Encampments. The
GAR comrades are all men past the
middle age. AS rule they have ac-
cumulated a fair share of this worlds

A GRATIFYING EXHIBIT,
welcome.

The annual report of Adj't-Gen. Chas.
L. Burmester, summary Of which will
be found in another column, makes
gratifying exhibit. Under the stress of
business depression and other unfayor-
able conditions it was to be expected
that the ranks of the Grand Army of
the Republic would show dishearten-
ing depletion. Happily, however, the
returns show the Order to number June
80 last 319, 456in good standing, against
340,610 for the same date last wear.
This is pretty solid old army, after all.
1t is two or three times as many men as any
leader has been able to concentrate on a
single field. 1t is more than double the
combined hosts Of both Meade and Lee
at gettysburg.
The report also shows that the Order
has expended in charity for the past
year the sum of S207,723.72, and for
the period of 10 years ended June 80,
1897, the enormous sum of S2,10O,617.-
67-the revenue Of a respectable Euro
pean principally.

ADJUTANT-GENEE BURMEsTER.

Commanderin-Chief Clarkson chose
his Adjutant-General with excellent
Judgment, which has been more than
justified by the years occupancy of that
important position by Comrade Chas. L.
Burmester, Of Omaha, Neb. His fine
abilities for Headquarters work were dis
covered during the war and given a
thorough training then. He has made
a faultless Adjutant-General-- prompt,
foreseeing, methodical, courteous, and
obliging. Everybody who has had deal
ings with National Headquarters has
been highly pleased with him.
