Thearente of Gould and Hunting
ton sat in the mar We room of the SmuLl to which, under the rules of
that body, they oould have aeaess only by the introduction of some Senators. They were confident of forty votes to defeat the bill. Senator Thurman
expected to pass the bill by midnight There were indications of an attempt at ilibueterinf by its opponents and many amendments had been offered. Mr. Thurman was seen to have upon his desk a roll-oallof the Senate. He rose and
said that he understood that the opponents of hto bill were confident of victory; that he had, in fact, then upon hto desk a roll-call of the Senate with the names cheeked upon it of the Senators who, he was well advised, were relied upon by the agents of Gould and Huntington to vote nay. There was intense interest ia the chamber. Mr. Thurman did' not read that rolloaU or tell where he got it He simply
said that as the voting on the. amendments proceeded he should watch it with great interest to see how well it tallied with the list with which he had been furnished. There certainly was consternation in the ranks of the lobby. The voting began. The forty promised votes upon that tally sheet dwindled to eighteen.
The bill was passed. Thurman put

i. The party sprang from the
absorbing toatM of slavery, and Hs par-
pose was to w I that ami the out tension of slavery into the Territories. The plat
form of IBM was devoted to this question. The platform of 1840, upon which
the party came Into power, was also
primarily and chiefly devoted to the various aspects of the question of shivery, the Union, the righto of the States, etc., and was composed of seventeen sections. The first section said: "TfcfttwMIs Kvkn rsrsaaa fsr Um tapper t Mm OoTsniaMat. ay 4tttiM upon tmperu, wwl polWjr rtr sa Mlfcwt MMt at Umm IwpsftU mIo saeoawes um asvelsswsai ot Dm s4tttrial MtorstUet Umi

In 1884 the platform was a war plat
form, and said of the finances that the public faith must be kept inviolate, and
that for this purpose " we recommend economy and rigid responsibility in the public expenditures, and a vigorous and just system of taxation." In 188 the platform declared that "it to due
to the labor of the Nation that taxation should be equalized and reduced as rapidly as the National faith will permit." and also "the Government of the United States should be administered with the strictest economy.11 From 1868 to 187S the Republican platforms were silent upon what is now declared to be the supreme policy of the party. Ia 1872 the platform said: " The aaaaal rcvemiM. after psyiac earrwrt xpesettsrM, peattoas aa4 Um latret m tfee Mm fct, sheetd f uratth a aMdsrSM ksumee for UM reduction ( the prtaepl, aa4 that revmm, exeset so muck m aiay be aerirsd from

But whatever the declarations of the platforms, the great Republican doctrine was by no means that of extreme proteotioa. Garfield said: " I am for a protection which leads te ultimate free trade. I am not for free trade which can only be achieved through a reasonable protection." Again Garfield said: "Tbe sir are aamtatafeabte that a atroeg , reaettoa fe setttoK atcalat tbe prevailing tariff 1 rates, sad be is not a wwe leclalator wba abate hla eyes to tbe faeta of tbe alUtaUoa.

pretty clock that told the hours and half-hours in a silvery voice. At its
right was a snow-white vase holding a
bunch of pansies. At its leit was
sister vase, holding a bunch of violets.
On the wall above it hung a Japanese
fan. A lady with long, narrow eyes
who was on this fan, was having

on one side of the fan, and a picture o a comfortable-looking old cat, hal

and iiiMt onnoeite all three, over the
lounee, hung a common paper kite,
framed in a golden frame. Its long
tail was wound round it, forming
aort of inside frame. The family had

door closed on them the violets called
across the clock to the pansies: "Do stop making faces at us! What have

"Nothing," replied the pansies.
We're only doing it for fun. It's a pity you dWt like it. AUowfrtooMls, the gardeners, do. Aad whatf mere, the funnier faces we make the better they are pleased."
"Well, there's ne accounting ior - - . . .WSJ
