The President and Tammany.

Friends of the administration are
much cheered by report that Tammany
will not only be regular this year, but
most cordially so. AS the story goes,
not trace of bitterness remains in or
ganization circles either as to the e1-
perience at the Baltimore convention or
later. Neither Mr.. Bryan's denuncia-
tion four years ago, nor. Mr.. Wilson's
neglect since, has soured Mr.. Alurphy's
old style, true blue, dyed in the-wool.
yard wide democracy. He and his lieu
tenants will go to st. Louis to assist in
the Wilson proceedings there, and then
return home to work with might and
main for victory at the polls. if those
most interested are sure of that as
surance they have reason for their COM
Portable feelings For Tammany is the
main democratic asset in New York. ard
New York is indispensable to demo
cratic success in November.
In 1892 Richard Croker, then the
leader of Tammany. played the game
differently. He and his organization
had been ignored during Mr.. Cleveland's
first administration, and here was Mr..
Cleveland asking for third nomina
ton and second term.
An important point was, Could Mr..
Cleveland carry New York? Mr.. Croker
said no, and took his two famous ora
tors-Bourke Cochran and Senator Ton.
Grady-to the national convention TO
give the reasons.
Bourke Cockran's speech was the hit
and sensation of the occasion lie e!ec-
trifed his audience, and at the moment
Mr.. Cleveland's chance for the nomina-
ton looked slim. But Mr.. Cleveland
won. William C. Whitney was present,
and assured delegates in private con
ersation that, notwithstanding all that
Tammany was saying, Mr.. Cleveland
could carry New York, and that Tam
many would support him.
Such proved to be true. Mr.. Whit
ney's knowledge of human nature was
supplemented by an intimate knowledge
of Tammany nature. He brought Mr..
Croker and his organization into line.
Tammany's part at st. Louis will be
easy. All necessary will be to join. the
procession. Everybody will be travel
ing in the same direction. All roads
Will lead to Wilson, Later, however, if
Tammany is to carry New York it must
hump itself. Particularly if New York
man--say Justice Hughes-leads the re-
publicans.
And to hump itself Tanmany viii
need to be encouraged; and the en-
enlargement may have to be set down
in black and white. If Tammany names
terms will the managers of the admin
istration's campaign meet them?

Russia's Continued Advance.

Russia's new offensive on the Aus.
trian line in Volhynia is developing, &C.
cording to Petrograd dispatches, into
a tremendous movement which, if con
tinued, must seriously imperil the>Teu-
tonic stability on the eastern front. II
is claimed by Russia that breach 100
miles wide has been effected ON the Aus
trian defense line. The capture of the
fortress Of Lutsk has resulted in the
Russian advance of about twenty miles
in such direction that Austrian posi-
tons at DubpO and Rovpo are gravefy
imperiled, and further retreat, perhaps
beyond the Russo-Anstrian line, is likely
to result. Indeed, Petrograd triumphant
iy declares that the preeipitate retreat
Of five Austrian armies, comprising the
chief line of defense against repeated
invasion, is inevitable
1t is not plain whether this Russian
offensive has caused weakening of the
Austrian line in Italy where recently
the Teutonic advance has been checked.
1t is NOT probable, however, that the Rus
sian pressure has been the cause of any
depletion of the Austrian forces on the
southern front. Rather is it likely that
the Russiaa success in Volhynia is due
to Weakening Of the Austrian lines
there for the sake Of the drive against
Italy. Yet the dispatches; from both Bus
sian and German sources, attribute the
Russian success scored thus far to a ire
msndous use Of artillery, against which
the Austrian forces have been unable to
stand. From one German source has come
word of the apparently inexhaustible sup
ply Of Russian artillery ammunition. II

The Chicago Platform.

The republican platform is adequate.

Preparedness that will prepare, and
when provided serve, is declared for.

The candidate 'n, his character and
ability will be much, but SO will be this
platform. The voters will read it, and
those who accept it win expect and de-
mand its redemption in case of success
at the polls. A striking feature of the
criticism of the democracy is that the
platform upon which it obtained power
did not hold. Promises made at Balti-
more have either been ignored or vio-
lated, and conditions produced which
have substituted personality for the
party.
This is not desirable, and it should not
happen again. This is government by
parties, not personalities. and when
party obtains power it should live up
to all of its promises and professions

How reckless. indeed, is the world with

How we shatter the silence with words

We rail and we praise and we offer ad
vice,
Nor study to render our language pre-
else;
And epithets strange are tossed into

In prodigal spirit that banishes care
Today we will offer of comment q lot
which tomorrow we know will be wholly
forgot
The scareeness of silence we view as a
joke.
If silence is golden, we're all going
broke!
