~ 9TH the ticket and the platform
for 1900 lately proposed by Hen
ry Watterson have started all
sorts of newspaper comment His sug
gestion is that the democratic ticket
for 1900 be Admiral George Dewey, of
Vermont, for president, and General
Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia, for vice
president, to run on this platform
The Stars and Stripes; God bless
them
The men are good; the platform is
all right AS for the men, the mention
of them recalls the fact that, at the
presidential polls, the people of this
country have paid their respects more
than once to the hero of a war. Zach
ariah Taylor was made president be-
cause he whipped Santa Anna at
Buena Vista, where he fought a Mex
lean army four times the number Of
his own and routed it, horse, foot and
dragon. Like Dewey, he was silent
man on political affairs, and that on
deared him to the masses of the peo-
pie. Taylor was nominated and elected
president without having had any
part in 1t or knowing how or why it
was done, and the official notificat ton
of his nomination by the whig nation
al convention. was not received by him
because the postage was unpaid. At
that time the prepayment of postage
was not obligatory and every political
crank in the country was writing to
Taylor and he turned back to the dead
letter office all letters which taxed
him with postage,
As for the Watterson platform, It
suggests an interesting bit of comment
to the Philadelphia Times, which says:
The wings elected two presidents
during the existence of that party
and had three candidates defeated. and
the only time that they were success
full was when their conventions adopt
ed no platform at all The Harris
burg convention that nominated Har-
rison and Tyler, in December, 1889, and
the Philadelphia convention that NOM
mated Taylor and Fillmore, in 1S4s
adopted no platform, gave no express
sion whatever on national issues, and
their nominees were the only ones
elected by the whig party in its an
tire history"
This talk is interesting enough in
its way, but it is forgetful of one OF
two things that surely will happen in
1900. When the democrats meet in ma
tional convention in that year they
will adopt a platform and it will con-
tain an out-and-out declaration for
the restoration of silver to coinage, al
the ratio Of sixteen to one, regardless
of the policy or the preference Of any
other nation on the globe; and no mar
will be nominated as the democratic
candidate for the presidency who doe!
mot stand f1at-footed on that PLAY.
