The Democratic Hope.

Hon. Garter IL. Harrison, mayor OF
Chicago, in 4 letter TO the Philadelphia
Ledger, gives strong and convincing
leasoAs Tor his belief in Democratic
success next November. Mr. Harrison
says.
While all prophecies are more or
less III the nature of guesses and any
conjecture liable TO 20 astray. the
prospect for Democratic success in,the
cOESinE election is good.
The personality of the candidates, "a
question which has always entered in
10 every political campaign, has al
ready been largely dwelt upon by the
press and by political speakers. \
careful analysis of the characters Of
the two men VIII show them to be,the
almost exact opposites of one another.
In the Judgment of most Of the Ameri-
an people Il president of the United
States should be a man of cool iudg-
ment. calm and equable as toftempera-
mcnt and 4 man of firmness.
By iirmness is not meantlthat he
should carry Il chip on his shoulder.
or that he should exalt the military
above the civil in government, nor to
he governed by impulses which, might
lead him into embroiIing the United
States in wars with foreign nations.
That the candidate for president Of
the United States on the Republican
side is very impulsive man his best
friends viii not deny. That the Demo
cratic candidate for president is. man
or an even, judicial and4 conservative
temperament even his worst enemies
VIII cheerfully admit The tempera-
ment Of man does not aiways1change
with advancing years It is possible
for man to retain the sanguine and
unfounded hopes OF boyhood until the

New York Mail: Certain crimes are
outside the comprehension of ordinary
people. Honest and law-abiding men
can only stand aghast, wondering,
when confronted by their perpetra-
ton. Such an offense as that OF boring
holes in the bottom of a newly built
ship of the nation and otherwise injur-
ing a great vessel i'll which every
American has an earnest pride is one
of this class of offenses. If anything
serious indeed had happened to the
Connecticut, or if persistent malice
should succeed in establishing hoo
doc" suggestion for the ship. the I'M
toward fact would play into the hands
Of private contractors, who wish to
prove that a great battleship could not
be successfully built and launched in
a government navy yard. This factor
should not be forgotten.

LAS to the platforms of the two par
ties. while they are similar in some
respects. the same radical difference
is apparent in them aS there is in the
doctrines of Hamilton and jefferson.
The greatest menace now existing. or
ever existing. against the government
of the United States is the trusts. The
Republican party. as the father of a
high protective tariff, is responsible
more than any other cause for the
building up of the trusts. 1t is not 4
logical proposition that Il father should
destroy his offspring, particularly
when the offspring have grown and
fluuriShed to such an extent as to be
now the main support Of their parent.
1t is idle TO look for relief from the en-
croachmentS of the trusts under Re
publican administration. 1t is useless
to talk of curtailinG the power Of lille
gal combinations of capital by party
which owes its continuance in office 10
such Illegal combinations. The trusts
are the immediate and vital concern of
the American people. And the people
viii not be able TO cOunteract or stem
this evil unless there is Il change in
Washington.
Another salient point Of difference
between the two platforms is regard
ing the Philippine question. This ques-
ton, forced upon the country by Re
publican president. has become Il most
serious one. touching the very core of
our existence as n republic. The Dec
laratiOn Of Independence and the con
stitution of the United States have
been nullified. to the establishment of
the world and the lasting disgrace of
our country. BeparatiOn for this, while
ii cannot wipe away the stain upon
our national honor nor atone for the
blood spilled by men fighting for their
liberty. can come. even as an act OF
tardy justice, only from the hands of
n Democratic administration.
The opportunity offered the Demo
Gratis in this campaign, both as to can
didate and principles. is excellent. The
democrats are united today rs they
have not been for many years.
with Il candidate whose life and
record are beyond rcprOach, with Il
platform which stands for the essential
principles OF Democracy. with 4 party
united in every section Of the country
