UTICA, N. Y, July at was not IN
til the early morning hours today that
the celebration over the return OF Rep
resentative James S. Sherman, Vice
Presidential candidate, quieted down.
Such a din and noise fest the city has
never heard before.
Ancient cannon belched forth thun-
derous rOars, monster steam whistles
shrieked and ripped the air. red fire
was buEned along Genesee street until
the air was suffocating with the burn
ed powder, and church bells and chimes
were almost torn from their places
The progress OF the Vice Presidential
nominee from the railroad station TO his
home a mile away was like the return
of a victory-crowned hero. The streets
of the city were crowded with citizens
and those who came in for miles around
70 participate in the welcome, and for
hours the city was lighted up with the
weird red lights. The small boy did not
overlook the opportunity to have a pre-
mature celebration OF the Fourth Of
July, either.
A big reception had been planned ror
the return of Sherman Immediately at

Cleveland, necessitated a pOstpOnement-

WARNS AGAINST A BlUNDER.
Washington Star Deprecates Sugges-
ton That Has Been Made.

There is a renewal of the sugges-
ton that if the Democrats capture the
presidency and elect majority of the
next house an extra session of the
present congress will be called and
the tariff revised before the Republi-
cans surrender power
Even if the maneuver could be ex-
ecuted it would be unfair and unwise
unfair, in that it would be an at
tempt to nullify a part of the meaning
of the election, and unwise, because
the attempt would fail.
Does anybody suppose that Demo-
cratic president and a Democratic
house Of representatives would accept
such revision of the schedules as
the republicans on their death-bed
would make? They would not, but
would Immediately upon taking office
propose a revision Of their own. They
would feel themselves instructed to do
so by the election returns. Thus we
should see the country twice stirred
within six months on the tariff subject
But such an attempt on the part of
the republicans could not succeed
The Dmocrats Of the house could Of
fer but small resistance, but the Dem
Ocrats Of the senate could, and would,
block ne program. BY united eff
fort-vhich they would be certain to
make--hey would talk 1t to death.
Less tan four months would be the
time Allowance, and the routine bust
ness would have to be taken into &C
count. Either the tariff bill, or some
Of the supply bills would have to be
abandOled. And as for the supplies,
Uncle lam must have his rations
Revisons, as everybody comedies, is
coming The only question is how soon
and by whom. Next spring is early
enough and it is for the people to say
at the POLLS who shall do the work. A
DemocBtic victory, it is true, would
not disose of the Republican senate,
but evel that body would have to take
some account Of a popular expression
at the polls which had commissioned
Democnts to deal with the subject
