Mr.. Johnson was especially earnest
In protesting against making the war
an issue In the present political contest.
On this point he said with much show
OF indignatiOn: HE who would make

The feeling manifested by Mr.. John.

ment would indicate consciousness
that his party would be at something
of a disadvantage II required to face
such an issue; else, why all this indig.
nation? His attitude recalls fOrcibly
that Of a considerable portion Of his
party thirty-Odd years ago, when they
not only took ground against the posi-
ton of the Government during the civil
war but protested against the use OF
the Federal flag In Republican and
union mass meetings, preferrlng, for
their own part, to march under the
| white emblem of peace. Yet this did
not prevent the stephen a. Douglas OF
that day, then the most conspicuous
and patriotic Democratic leader in the
nation, from declaring that in such a
contest there could be but two parties
patriots and traltors'-a sentiment
which was trlumphantly vindicated IN
the four years. war which followed.
As for himself-and, We suppose
speaking for his followers-Mr. John
son proclaimed with great emphasis
that he ''lntended to stand upon thu
platform immortalized by Jefferson and

THE MARKETS.
Wall street Review.

New York, March 22-Offerings to
sell were not heavy in today's stock
market, except in few stocks and in
termittently. But the buying demand
was at so low an ebb that even the
desultory offerings dribbled upon the
maFSet drove prices downward al
most continuously. The result is seen
in net losses of between two and three
points in great many Of the standard
railroad stocks and leading industrial
specialties and of over three points in
the local traction specialties. The
slightest indication of a rise in prices
brought out such heavy offerings all
through the list that the half formed
purpose apparent to bid up prices was
abandoned for the rest Of the day. The
shadow on the market was the develop
ment of the governments Cuban pol
icy. in which all circles feel certain
crisis is now imminent Evidently no
one wants to buy stocks until this
question is settled. Total sales of
stocks were 269. 300 shares.
