THE TRUE STANDARD.

The question is: What docs Mr.. VIII
kinson stand for Patton Rouge Truth
The True Democrat: At time when
a candidate prepares to run Tor Office ne
naturally takes look about to see how
he can most successfully appeal to the
people If he is a good man, conscious
of his own rectitude of life and purpose
he is more apt to stand upon his record,
feeling that on this the public can rely
as an earnest Of what he will do in the
future, as circumstances require.
The more of demagogue he IS, the
more likely he is to devise something
plausible in promise to get the good will
of the people He knows that unless he
captures popular fancy by something
specious that his chances Of success are
minimized.
So it appears to us in the present cam
paign. Mr. Sanders has prepared "a
platform that contains all the desirable
features Of legislation. His platform
Is uIIfIiIptdClldDiS but "iNh wv Noi-
slider Mr.. Sanders record as "a practl-
cal politician" and pre-judging his fu-
ture by the past, we need only expect
what he has done, fighting the Sunday
law in the Legislature, running with the
boys, etc. etc.
On the contrary, secure in the knowl-
edge of an irreproachable past as man.
citizen and officeholder, uncompromising
as Democrat, Mr.. Wilkinson has been
slow to devise issues to dazzle the eyes
of the populace He feels that the vot-
ers should realize that what he has been
in the past he will be in the future,
ready as circumstances arise to do what
is best
1t is not what man says he stands
for upon which the public should de-
pend, but upon what he actually is. That
qualification has been tried and tested
The crucible of circumstance rehnes and
reveals the true ore of mans charac-
Ter and nature. What man has become
through the fires of time is truly what
he stands for and is.

New YORK Hotel Men Have NO Uesire
For Conventions.
New York. Aug Ga prominent
hotel man, discussing the dispatches
from Chicago that business men and
organizations there had already begun
to work to secure the national cOnven
ton to be held next year, said:
Il believe it represents the opinion
of vast majority of the leading hotel
men in this city when | say that we
would not raise finger to bring such
a ga herring here in the height Of the
summer. Our leading hotels are pretty
well filled. no matter how many We
build, and we would be put to no end
of perpleXity to provide accommcda
tions for the number Of delegates and
politicians who would be attracted on
such an occasion,
''Nor have I noticed any great en-
thusiasm amGng other business men
over the proposal which has REQUIRED
from time to time to invite a national
convention by holding out financial in
ducemeDts for it to come here"
In all the history Of parties only ma.
tional convention has been held in this
city. That was in 1858, when the
Democratic national convention was
held in Tammany hall on July 4 and
after balloting that lasted for days
Horatio Seymour was nominated for
the presidency. u. S. Grant was the
Republican candidate that year, and
the result everybody knows.
