THE COLUMBUS PLATFORM.

Both in what ii says and what ii omits to say
the newest Democratic platform in Ohio sug-
gests the struggle Of the repentant wolf to
purge his character through fresh investments
in sleeps clothing. No party utterance, GER
tainly, could breathe milder or more chastened
spirit than that framed for the purposes of this
years campaign by the Democratic managers
at Columbus. As a rule the declarations of
Ohio conventions have been tinctured with a
radicalism frowned on by Democratic senti-
ment in most Eastern and Middle Western
States, and beside most of its predecessors the
platform adopted last Wednesday seems almost
q miracle Of policy and moderation The eau
uous. almost apologize, temper which con-
trolled the delegates was shown most con-
epcuously, OF course, in the Sights put on
Colonel Bryan's leadership. But the feeling
which prompted the convention to ignore both
the Nebraska orator and the party doctrines of
which he has long stood as the accepted advo-
cate showed itself in almost panicstricken
retreat from one and all the advanced positions
which the party In Ohio has held In other years
The extent Of this general withdrawal is most
easily measured in the snuffing out of the free
coinage issue Two years ago, when John r.
Mclean was nominated for Governor the Dem
ocratic State Convention gave this explicit
pledge Of loyalty to the cause OF silver imitation
and to the personal fortunes OF its especial
champion:
We continue to demand the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver and gold equal in primary
money at the ratio OF 16 to /. Independent of
al other nations in the world The Hon Will
lam j. Bryan still retains entire confidence
and we demand his denomination In 1900
In this years convention tho Hon. William J.
Bryan seemed 10 retain 1.-The entire confidence
OF only six delegates out Of $50. while the issue
on which he rose to power, and which has been
set for five years past in the very forefront Of
Democratic doctrine, was coldly stricken from
the platform without even six voices raised to
challenge its consignment TO the political ash
heap. Two years ago the GAINESVILLE convention,
among other extrayagances, announced its dis
approval Of the secret and vicious alliance now
'.n evidence between England and the Republi-
"can administration whereby this nation may
become involved In war with foreign nations"
1t also expressed IFS profoundest regret that
American soldiers Were being unlawfuly used
in the name OF liberty TO crush and destroy
''dawning republicanism in the Orient" Hold
ing this view of the governments efforts TO
assert national sovereignty and re-estabish civil
order In the Philippines the convention OF 1890
naturally demanded that the F.lipipos be mot
only permitted but encouraged" to establish an
independent republic.

toga, for example. there has been plenty OF pet-
ting at faro and roulette each season, out the
clubrooms in which the games were kept up
were managed In comparatively quiet and
retiring way and the tables were not used for
play on Sundays.
At Long Branch the gambling was practised
in the most conspicuous manner In cottages
occupying prominent places on the chief ave
nue. and close TO the leading hotels. There was
no pretence of secrecy or concealmeht These
"clubhouses" were costly buildings, handsomely
furnished and open to all comers who had
money TO risk. On Sundays especially, when
the Long Branch hotels crowded with
men with full pockets and of ample leisure,
these cottages were brilliantly lighted, and the
warmest of welcomes was extended to every
one who wished to bet on any game Of chance.
Long Branch was indeed wide open town
for gambling and on Sundays above other days
of the week.
Now all is changed. An upright judge re-
solved that respect should be paid to the law
at this pleasure resort as elsewhere in New
Jersey He declared that the faro banks must
be closed and kept closed. His instructions to
the grand jurors were explicit and emphatic,
and he arranged that juries should meet every
month this summer and be prepared to indlct
the gamblers If they ventured to do as they
had done IN previous years. The gamesters
took the alarm and sought other fields FOR the
plundering Of the indiscreet The clubhouses
are dark and silent and owners and dealers
are dsconsolate. Long Branch is going through
the novel experience of season without the
sort Of Monte Carlo element to which she has
been accustomed And she Is better Off with

resorts as well, would be.

One burst Of discretion, however cannot over
