THE CONVENTION AND PLATFORM,

The republican national convention being held
in Philadelphia this week is the fore-runner of
four more years Of the greatest prosperity any
nation in history enjoyed. 1t differs from all
previous ssemblages of its kind in that it was
multitudinous ratification meeting rejoicing over
the unparalleled accomplishments and successes in
the administration Of governmental affairs OF the
nation, and happy in the knowledge that the peo-
pie of the nation are enjoying the richest and
greatest blessings in history and reveling in pros
perity and wealth The representatives of the
masses assembled together told and we're told the
unversalness of these splendid conditions and they
rejoiced over the glad tidings
The platform is clear. concise and strong.
There is no mistakng its tone and meaning. The
party has declared itself practical business
way and uses no meaningless phrases. The plat
form from beginning to end is constitution with
in ITSELF any government of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people would tnd adequate for the
administration of its affairs the maintenance of
its organism the PRONUNCIATION of its aobject,
and the establishment of its eternal principles of
home, liberty and peace
Pertinent exposures of Democratic fallacies
and vagares made and the false charges against
the Republican party last campaign refuted to the
dismay of Organism and Populism.
The dead issue of Free Silver to which the
democrats still cling, the platformneets in the dec
laration that every American dollar is gold dol
lar or its assured equivalent and American credit
stands higher than that of any nation.
The unparalleled prosperity Of the country is
confirmed by declaration taken from history.
namely, that while during the whole period of
one hundred and seven years, from 1870 to 1897,
there was az excess Of exports imports ofonly
1888 ops 497, there has been in the short three

excess Of exports over imports in the enormous
sum of 81, 4s3. 537, O94," These are astounding fig
ures but true
Every issue and every public question of mo-
ment are taken up andfuly met inaway that insures
final disposition OF them for the highest and best
interests of the people, without respect to class or
locality.
On the wholei is grand enunciation Of grand
principles by grand political party for great
country and ereatpeople.

JUDGE JOHN MARSHALL HAGANs,

The death of Judge John Marshall Hagans re-
moves from our midst jurist of no mean ability
but few Of whose opinions and decisions were ever
reversed by higher tribunal His absence from
his accustomed place upon the Harrison county
bench will be deeply felt, not only by the practic.
ing attorneys but by the people generally, who not
only respected him for his Official acts and eminent
ability, and unceasing faithfuness with which he
performed those duties, but have also learned to
love him for his true courtesy to all itigants be-
fore the bar of justice. He emineutly fair in
all his rulings and decisions and never aimed at
anything else but justice IN its truest sense. He
made no distinction in persons butreated all alike,
bestowing as much Difference upon the masses as
given to the classes
AS leader of men and as statesman he had
few superors, if any, in the state. A man Of strong
personality, magnetic and possessing that happy
faculty Of reaching the heart of humanity within
gentleness his sympathetic nature ard his kind
ness OF heart, and of Exercising mind, cultured
clear and strong. he became, ANONYMOUSLY, reg
ulator and suggester if not dictator in men af
fairs national, state judicial, municipal and pri.
vate. with which he became largely identified, and
alongh tose lines has left an honorable hertageto
his fellow men, co-workers and contemporaries,
bequest than which there is none nobler.
The people of Harrison county, without respect
to politics, mourn with her ne ghborlng Counties
and, indeed the whole state over the death of the
distinguished dead

Our citizens generally are glad to see actual
are congratulating themselves and the council up.
on the prospects for acomplete system within few
years. The proposition to pave the business
square this year is start in the right direction and
the proper portion of the city has oeen wisely Sc
lected. With such portion paved, the cost Of
street repair will be decreased in that proportion
and next year that much or more can be paved on
either end and and SO on until the entire city
is paved, AS we pave on year by year, if the levy
is kept uniform during these years, the amount TO
be devoted to paving each year will be increased in
proportion to the paving done the previous year
and paving will naturally multiply and increase
very much. The CRY will. therefore find it much
easier undertaking than now conceived.
