\ FEW TRIFLING OMISSIONS

There was controversy enough when the Republican delegates as- sembled in Chicago; but it was con- troversy which had little to do with national issues before the country. No candidate billigerently demanded of his rivals, at the last moment before the gavel fell, what could be done w.th the railroad crisis. No delegates pursued MT. Hays to get his views on the unrest of labor. You might have walked the length of the corridor in the Hotel Con- gress without stumbling upon an indignant group of delegates asking each other what they could do with coal companies making 500 per cent profits. What held the attention of the delegates, from Friday to We'd nesday, was another sort of con- troversy. Who would fare best in the settlement of disputes be- tween rival state delegations? How much had Wood and Lowden been hurt by the senate's investigation! Where ought this candidate or that one throw his support, when he was out of it, and what did he deserve to ask in return? These delegates were intent upon putting their party back in power with a winner. They gave little indication in the days before the convention opened, of a belief that the best way of going about it, was to associate their party with a programme of reconstruc- tion.-The New Republic.
