The American patriot takes not simply
freedom for the nation, but liberty for
the race as a motto. In the late civil
war not simply was the question OF the
integrity of the Union settled, but tbs
freedom of the slave n the assertion OF
the principle that the black man has
rights which The white mar Is bound to
respect. The present war with Spain is
fought. not for the freedom OF this ma
ton, It's glory or its profit, but for the
freedom and liberty of man We express
ed this In our sympathy with. Kossuths
the Hungarian patriot, when he visited
these shores. The same idea was seen
in the willing sacrifice of our young men
who gave themselves In the war Tor

teristic Is that American patriotism,
while it would welcome universal arbf-
~tration, recognizes that in this age, and
in the world without the shedding of
blood there can be no remission.
I'VE must sacrifice the best we have in

Board of Education, nominees of the Non-Partisan party who have proven false to the trust repoSed in them by us, and who have been conspicuously guilty with the other members of the majority Of both boards in a shameless disregard of the interests of the citizens. In strik<, ing contrast to their shameful actions. we warmly commend the manly and hon. est course of c. A. Clinton, Washington Dodge and John Lackmann of the Board of Supervisors. We also heartily com mend the able and efficient administra- tion of Mayor Phelan, in the fearless per formance of his official duty at all times.
 Delegate Cummings at once objected to the plank.
 We are preparing platform, said he. and I always understood that a platform was a declaration of prin- ciples, not denunciation of men,"
 T object to the indorsement of Washington Dodge" exclaimed George Center, for he is a pledge breaker. If we are going to mention any names let us mention all our faithful public ser vants.'
 Webster explained that while there were other worthy officials, his reso- lution only dealt with those who were nominated by the -Partisans.
 Ex-Mayor Ellert took the floor in de- fense of Dr. Dodge and indignantly de- nied that the Supervisor from the Sixth " dl u lldu ever DIOheH- dUy pl6uBeS. Barclay Henley said that he believed in placing the brand on all unfaithful officials and those who were recreant to the trust reposed in them.
 Delegates Halliday and Cummings ob- jected to introducing the resolution as being made part of the platform. and finally got a ruling from the chairman that the matter was out of order. The original section was thereupon allowed to stand.
 Webster made another attempt to get the convention to place itself on record and offered the substitute as a resolu- tion. He was beaten again, for a mo- tion to lay the entire subject matter on the table was carried without fur ther debate.
 A letter from Mayor Phelan, accept ing the nomination for Mayor, was read and a committee of three was appointed to invite him to attend the next session of the convention.
 An adjournment was then taken un- til next Thursday night.
