WHY HOLD A CONVENTION?

MIR ODEI.I. SAYS THE GOvERNORsHIP NOMINA-
TIoN WILL BE SETTLED LONG BEFORE IT.
To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In your issue of to-day read an extract
from an interview with Mr.. Odell THE Governor
ship nomination may practically be decided within
the next week
the nomination of Governor, when it is all deter
mined beforehand by little clique of would-be
bosses?
wrote to one of these "would-be bosses in
1885 saying that the true party leader IS one who
diagnoses his party and finds out what they want
and then takes hold and helps them TO get it, but
the boss is who with himself and perhaps
small clique of others decides what they want to
accomplish. and then nearly breaks the party in
irving to force II upon them.
Have the Republicans of this State again to have
forced them a candidate which the Great Boss"
of this State desires whom the people want?

Mayor in 1897 would be sufficient for generation

makes in reference to hydraulics cannot fail to
be valuable. His plan TO prevent deadly fires on
piers seems TO me to be just what is needed
trust that you will take up the agitation of this
matter and that ii will be continued until the
scheme which he has outlined shall be adopted
with or without the modification which discussion
may suggest. II the steamship companies do not

A DEMOCRATIC ASSAULT OF 1864,
RESOLUTIONS SOMETHING LIKE THOSE AT KAN

To the EDITOR Of The Tribune
Sir: Considering the manner in which the Demo
cratic Convention at Kansas City has despaired or
the Republic and convicted the Mckinley Admins
tration OF miIltarism and Imperialism and other
horrid crimes and misdemeaEors, it may be that
your readers VIII he interested I'm perusng the

ycntion of Madison County Ind, on June -
a. D. 1854 Tdcy rSter I" one Abraham Lincoln.
then Pr.stderlt.of the United States and seeking
recollection 1t may be stated that Madison County
was at that time "A great Democratic stronghold;
a certain Democratic statesman Of Indiana once
in.nortaIized himself BY Uoas'iag that in Madison
County n democratic nomination was catamount
TO an election" Needless to say. the Madison
County Democrats did not greatly admire Abraham
Lincoln. aud adopted the following emphatic
resolutions.
Resolved. That the present Abolition Aaminiistrg-
IupionS Us M"g,le a' ~ 80 Trs
OF the people is unworthy Of the confidence OF the
American people. and deserves the eNecrations 'i
second That the present is the natural and
necessary result of the success OF the Abolition
party, and purposeiy brought about by the
~Ies and str4tasfina "I lnT PTTs'HI %

Such WAS the candid opinion Of these Indiana
Democrats concerning the Administration OF Abra-
ham Lincoln. That peerless leader ard illus
trtous soldier. William J. Bryan. hardly has
opinion Of President Mckinley than these
Indiana copp"rhcads had of Abraham Lincoln. y
good deal Of water has run under the bridge since
that summer Of 1864, when President Lincoln
running for re-eleCtion aud General Grant was
hattering the Army of Northern Virginia in the
Wilderness but thcre are certain principles cor
prejudicel of the Democratic party that are stiIi
unchanged and unohanFeane. Like the Beers and
the Boxers they seem 10 hc impcrvi"us 10 the in
huences OF modern civilization. They have to-day
the touching sympathy for the Beers Of the
Transyaal and the Aguinadists Of Luzou that they
showed 10 the enemies of the American Union in
1864.
1t is strange that the Kansas city Convention did
not extend its sympathy 10 the patriots of the
I-Ho-ChUan as well as 10 the assassins Of the
Katipunam This probably oversight. like
the Income Tax plank and the Civil Service plank.
At any rate, It Is well that the Republicans of
day should remem mbcr that Abraham Lincoln
called upon to endure the contradictions Of sue
cess in 1854 as President Mckinley is called
upon to endure the viudctive ISLANDERS to-day.
