vention two years ago. Here is his
expression of gratitude, his personal
platform:
Gentlemen II am informed by your COM
mittee of my nomination for governor OF
the state of Wisconsin by the republican
party which you represent here in conven-
ton. l accept the nomination with a deep
sense Of the honor which is conferred and
of the duty which is imposed. l am
grateful for the approval of the acts of
the administration by the republican party
for which you are authorized to speak and
to which you have given strong expression
here today. Called for second time to
represent the republican party as it's can
didate for governor, permit me through you
to convey my profound appreciation to
your constituents for this evidence of theiI
continued confidence.
When William Mckinley was officially
notified of his denomination for the presi
dency he was able to say that faith with
the public had been kept; that the pledges
made to the people by the republican party
had been redeemed. 1t has been the proud
boast of the party from Lincoln to Roosevelt
that it's obligations were always honored.
A citizen of this country could at any time
ascertain the lines upon which the repub-
lican party would legislate by consulting
its platform declarations. 1t never equivo-
Gated; it never lodged it never straddled.
In plain terms, it presented it's promises.
In good faith it redeemed them.
Political platforms must be upheld if po-
litical parties are to be maintained Their
declarations are the expression of the DELHI
crate judgment, the consensus of opinion,
the common intent, the generally accepted
and we'll understood policy of the party on
important issues.
Platform pledges express the convictions
Of the party and are the inducements Of
fered by the party for che votes Of the peo-
pie They are the partys promise to do
specific things. They are the voters guide
in determining with what party he will ar
fliate They constitute a written contract
deliberately entered into with every man
who casts his vote for the candidate of his
party Neither the party nor the official
representative of the party can with honor
change or repudiate that contract. The
candidate who is unwilling to be bound by
the platform of the party mas no moran or
political right to accept a party nomina-
ton If having accepted a nomination he
finds that he is not in accord with the
pledges of his party, if he cannot carry out
its promises as an official, if he decides to
be independent of platform obligations, he
is then in honor bound so to announce,
at once to withdraw as a party candidate,
and stand if at all, upon his individual
declaration as a candidate for office indie
pendent of party support. These PROPOSE
lions REQUIRE no argument. They are the
unwritten but Interchangeable law of political !
ethics. They enforce themselves between
the candidate and the party, the official and
the public.
PROMISES BROKEN.

lican party have been broken and its honor

GENERAL sIGEL DEAD.

Man Who Saved Missouri for the Union
 and Led the Gernan-Americans to
 War-Interesting Career.
 New York. Aug. H.-General Franz sigel. seventy-eight, soldier, politician and editor, died at his home in the Bronx to-day of old age. Born in Ger many and educated at the military school at Carlsruhe, he fought with the revolutionists in the insurrection of 1S49, became their minister of war, then chief commander of the troops and fin- ally led the remnants of the revolution ary army, which had at one time num- bered 15,0G0 men, through three corps of the royal army, to Switzerland.
 He came to this country in 1852, went to St. Louis and at the outbreak of the civil war organized O regiment of in- fantry and a battery. The Germans fiocked to him and he is credited with keeping Missouri in the union. He fought conspicuously throughout the war, taking part in all the principal en- agreements.
 In 1867 he came to this city and two years later was republican candidate for secretary of state. He has written several books on the German revolution in which he took part.

started for second while the ball was in the pitchers hand. and with Fitzmau- rice on third, Springfeld's pitcher threw the ball to second and in the effort to catch Hall between first and second Fitzmaurice came in, J. Connor dropping the ball at the plate.
 The score stood to f and the local fans breathed more comfortably. The crowd was composed of large number of excursionists who were at the Rock for the day and their sympathies were with the fallen. This loaned spice and variety to the enthusiasm. Neither side scored again until the eighth when singles by O'Brien, Canavan, Spiesman, and Tuckey earned three more runs for the Blues. This punching of hits placed the score 8 to 4 in New Haven's favor.
 The Forest City team made a great rally in the ninth. Hoffman and Berry were given their bases by Tuckey, who lost control of the ball temporarily. Henry filled the bases by hitting safely. Delaney sent a long fly to Bannon who fielded the ball back to the plate before Hoffman, w!.o was on third, could get any kind of a start for home. Francis then hit the ball hard for what appear ed to be a two bagger. Captain Cana van caught the ball high in the air and passed the sphere to Hall. who covered second, completing as neat and timely a double play as has taken place on the Savin Rock grounds this season. The play retired +ke side and the game be- longed to New Haven.
 The summary follows:
