DRIFT OF OPINION. Wotes on the Ticket and Platform Put Forth by the Chicago Conveation. Whatever may be the ‘disappointment of the Republican masses on account of the candi<dates selepted, it sinks into significance in the pres-nce cf the sentiment with which they must regard ' the platform.—Chicago N:ws Alnd). . | SR s ‘There is hothing whatever of Mr. Morton exacept his ‘‘Darrel.” He has never been even suspected of possessing any qualifications’ for Ppubl c life ¢xcept money in abundance and a willingness to spend it in furthering his ambition,—Misspuri Republican, oy ¥t would be rash, perhayps, to asgert that the Republicans could not have put up a weaker ticket if they had deliberately addresszd themselves to the task; but, as a matter of fact, ~wwith o con@sidernble assortment of very poer material opphand, it is difficult to see how a weaker tipket cowld have been selected from At.—=St. 7ouis Reyublie, .

Np friendl of a reduction of the surplus by nrrodevat njg the tariff tax upon the necessaries «of life and raw materials could support General Harrison unless he feared some grave peril from the sheeess of Cleveland. This is an apprehension, however, which, although strong and nataral in 1884, has now disappeared.— Harper's Weekly. : in revoh‘;t!bnizing its principles the Republican party has revolutionized its orga.niz:*!on. It can not hold its voters. They will desert in regiments through all the West and Northwest. There are not Pacific ring millions nor Atlantic Trust millions enough to prevent overw-hexmim{ Republican defeat in November as the result’ of the revolutionary action at Chicago.—N. Y. World, ' The railroad corsairs, unabie to get their chief, desire a tool whom they can trust to act as their servant. Harriscn answers their idea of such a person, anzd they imagine that with the help of Morton’s barrel and Wood-Pulp Miiler's barrel, they can give him the Presidential votes of New York, while they have also deluded themselves with the notion that Hurrison can get those of Indiana.—Chicayo Globe. Sl e ‘

“We favor the rereal of internal taxes rather than the surrender ‘of any part of our protective systerm.” 'This is the language in which the Republican party declares that free liquor and tebaccoare better than to surrender any part of the tax of Z 0 per cent. on copper ore, 54 per cent. on cotton thread, 58 per cent. on -crockery. 93 per cent. on common window glass, 1.3 per cent. on building beams of iron and steel, and 72 per csnt..on blankets.—XN, Y. Limes (Ind.).

‘ln all ourrecollection, which embracesnearly four decades, we can think of not a single Presidentizl nom'nat on which was received w.th ‘sueh icy chilliness as taat 8t Harrison, Usually afier a candidate has been found a storm of -enthusiasm—=o mattcr whether genuine or artificial—broke loose, lasting at least a quar‘ter and scmetimes’ half an hour. In this instance the matier was§ disposed of in three minutes ard an acute observer could readily ;petéenw fzhat scarcely half of those pres:ent par‘ticipated in ihe howl and noise.— Ckicago Staats- - Zeitung, o 3

Xestrained from nominating Blaine the conveution proceeded to nominating Blamne's :shadow. | That is the exactsize of Harrison. -Hesis a sectnd shadow cast by Blaine across the Présidential arena of his time. Garfield was the first. Harrison is ancther Hayes. He ‘wil fare as Hayes did, too, at the pols, only more so, for Hayes came within a quarter of a million of votes of having a popular majority, wvhich it is not ccnceivable that Harrison will do. The American people will go forward with Cicveland and not backward with Bilaine's shadow.—St, Paw! Globe,

Fhie ornlors who exploited the ancestry of Mr. Harrison for the edification of the convention cur ously omitted one rather interesting Aind in the chuin. The delegates were told that Air. Harrison had a great-grandfather; also “that he had a grandfather; but the record Jumped from that point to the present generatwon. Of coeurse, Mr, Harrison had a father as well as o grandfather. His father, Hon. John ‘Seott Harrison, was for two terms a member ‘of Congress from Cincinnati., He was elected by the “Know-Nothings,” and .was retired when that organization lost its grip.—Louisville Lourizr-Journal, i ‘ sy

What has been done is beyond. recall, correction or change. It must stand for this elec%ion, and there is nothingleft for straight party anen who Lad different first choices but to make the best of it by supporting the nominee. Ai o kickers and scratchers, they are a class o people who onjoy doing as they .please and making confusion. As the camragn proceeds the prescnt general disappointment will wear off, and the cand.date will come to be regarded mnore favorably. He may grow into popular Tavor before the dog-days are over; but his ‘speo.al “ooomers” would do 'well not to hurry ‘matiers fuster than timeheals disappointment. “Toe evolutionary process of mental reconcilement s the best that can be applied in such cuases.—Chicayo Tribane (Rep.).

PLUTOCRATIC SCPHISTRY. . [The 3lost Shameless Declaration Em- ! hodied in the Republican Platform. The Republican party has thrown off its thin guise, and boldly proclaimed “itself to be, what its acts long ago proved it to be, the party of the classes ' as opposed to the masses. Its habit of dissgmbling and falsifyin® is still dom~dnanf, and manifests itself in nearly every line of its long confession of faith and covenant of works, but there .ean be no mistaking its attitude on the - question of ‘the spoliation' tariff, %‘ho' gh it grossly and wilfully misrepresents the position of the Dem- . ocratic party, its own positién is de“fined so distinctly that it can not possibly be misundersteod. . . That position is, in brief, that the . tariff for spoliation must be maintained _and made still higher at whatever cost. ' “T'he tobaoeo tax must go rst, next the _4ax on_ spirits not used as beverages, _and finally %? faxes on all liquors usod forgetting drunk, i that is nooBy 16 s dhe ancivgyipes nid on.

ernment, but every tax shall op tald ror the principal purpose of getting money into the pockets of protected monopolists, with Government revenue as a subordinate incident in cases where it is not wholly shut off by the enormity of tax. | s

- That this is a correct statement of the position in which the platform puts the party appears both from the direct affirmations of that document, and from what it denounces. It affirms in so many words that all the internal taxes should go before ‘‘any part of our protective system’’ should be surrendered. It affirms the same thing indirectly when it denounces the tariff policy of the Administration, which simply aims at a reduction of the more monstrous of the war tariff taxes. ' It affirms the same thing once more directly when it says that the revenues should be reduced by changing the tariff (by increasing it, of course) so as to check imports of articles the like of which are produced here, as well as by abolishing the tariff -on all other articles. ' e Such a shameless declaration that all National taxation should be for the aggrandizenient and enrichment .of favored industries, with revenue as a mere incident, or accident, or as something to be shut gff entirely by the tax, has never before been put forth by any political party in this country. The Republican party would not have the brazen audacity to put it forth to-day if its bosses did not .believe that the masses were already degraded to the position of obedient voting cattle to be driven or decoyed by the factory lords to the polls as to a slaughter pen, armed with the weapons of their own destruction. : ;

It is among the possibilities that the party bosses and the factory lords will wake up one fine morning in November and find that the‘people’ of America are still of opinion that it is the business of Congress to lay taxes to get revenue, and not to enrich a few of the people at the expense of the many. It is among the probabilities if the American people are as intelligent and independent as they flatter themselves they are.— Chicago Globe.

REDUCE THE TARIFF. Extracts from Hon. C. R. Breckinridge’s New York Reform Speech. Gentlemen, our path is plain, our duty is clear. Let us press for fair, equal and constitutional taxation. . Lét us cut loose’ from trusts and mouopoly and com® back at least to the old claim of protection. Let us come back to the land-marks of peace. The present practice and purposes are contrary to the letter.and the spirit of qur ot ganic law. Let us come back in this, as in- all’ things, to the constitution, the sheet anchor of our hope, the muniment of our liberties, the warrant and the limitations of our powers. The people. will not find prosperity, happiness and honor in.the line of class legislation. Capital will not find stability there. Men with good purposes can not advocate it. ©° The present contention of these people is communism, gentlemen, in its worst form; and these people had as well be teaching the toiling masses the use of dynamite as to tell them that class legislation is right; and thengalso continue to make it a cheat, and a fraud, and an engine of oppression as they are doing now. But, gentlemen, the arrogant, grasping and vulgar rich will not control this| country, and neither. will the moh. There is too much wealth, associated with thought, culture and true conservatism for extremists to sueceed. This class is always in close sympathy with the honest masses of the people. They know that liberty, brotherhood, commerce, exchange and prosperity all go hand in hand. If oppression and restriction upon trade were truly profitable, man would never be free and nations would be consigned to endless rivalries and strife. But God's law is intercourse, prosperity and peace. Low taxes, economy, liberty, freedom, equeality, justice, fair play and prosperity go hand in hand. The contest then is not between the rich and the poor, but it is between the selfish rich and the .ignorant poor upon the one hand, and the great body of our people, rich and poor, who E lieve in equality and justice, upon th other hand. R

9t is between monopoly and prosperity. Organizations are springing up all aver the country in support of this cause; clubs like this great club of magic growth, able, ‘patriotic and opulent; clubs in my own State, composed of men young and old, zealous and with you heart and soul; clubs everywhere eontending for equal laws among a noble people who fear no nation in any field or form; who believe in God,. liberty and peace, who ask no privileges among themselves, and who will spurn the hand that offers them. Let us, then, plant oursclves upon the bedrock of human rights. Let us proclaim its harmony with prosperity, increased ‘wagesand happiness. Common sense is withi us. - The constitution and the Declaration of Independence are with us. God Himself is with us. Then let us holdly unfurl our banner to the breeze /and go forth among the people and ceaselessly expound the everlasting emblems upon its field. $ o

The other members of the committee dnd the various gentlemen present arranged themselves in a semi-circle. Judge Thurman speedily made his appearance from the drawing-room on the south. Judge Thurman was greeted with applause as he came forward leaning on the arm of his son. : : 5

| THE NOTIFICATION, ’ As'soon as Judge Thurman had taken his seat and bowed to the gentlemen standing ready to receive him, General Collins advanced and after shaking him by the hand spoke as fellows: ) ] **Judge Thurman, we bear a message from the great cquncil of your party. Itisbuta formal notice of your nomination by that body for the high office of Vice-President of the United States. Rich as our language is in expression, it contains no words to adequately convey the sentiment of that convention as ‘its Reart went out to you. I present my friend, Eon. Charles D. Jacobs, mayor of Louisville.” Mr, Jacobs stepped forward, and 1n an parnest voice read the following formal letter of notification: b . “CoLuMBUS, 0., June 28.—70 Hon. Allen G. Thurman—Sir: plt has become the highly agreeable duty of the committee to inform you that wupon the first ballot of the National Democratic convention held recently in the city of St. Louis, and representing every State and Territory of eur Union, for the purpose of selecting candidates for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency, you were unanimously chpsen as the nominee of that great party for the eminent and responsible office of Vice-President of the United States. ‘“ln thus spontaneously and emphatically demanding a return to that political arena which you graced with so much-\wisdom, dignity and vigor, the Democracy of this country have hono;‘ed ft-hemselves by relieving their party from the charge of ingratitude, and we believe that in November next the people will efface such a taint from the Republic by electing you to preside over the most august deliberative body in the world—the Senate of the United States. [Applause.] - ‘Should so desirable a consummation be achieved then, indeed, could every lover of his country, regardless of party or creed, rejoice that in you is embraced the highest type of the enlightened and refined American citizen and that no matter what the crisis might be this Government would be safe in your hands. [Ap.plause.] ! : ‘* An engrossed c~py of the platform of princirles, couched in language that admits of no doubt and adopted without a dissenting vote, is herewith presented. In discharging their trust this committee desires to convey to vou assurances of the most profound esteem and admiration, and to ex;ress their sincerest good wishes for your happiness and prosperity. ‘* We have the honor, sir. to be your obedient servants.’”’ [Signed by the Committee.] JUDGE THURMAN’S RESPONSE. Judge Thurman spoke as follows:

*“ Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee: I pray you to accept my very sincere thanks for the kind and courteous manner in which you have communicated to me the offlcial information of my nomination by the St. Louis convention. You know, without saying it. that I am profoundly grateful to the convention and to the Democratic party for the honor conferred ‘upon me, andthe more so that it was wholly unsought and undesired by me; not that I undervalued a destination which any man of our party however eminent might highly prize, but simply, hecause Ihad ceased to be ambitious of public life. But when [ am told in so earnest and irmpressive a manner that I oan still render service to the good cause to which I have ever been devoted—a cause to which I am bound by the ties of affectiun, by the dictates of judgment, by a sense of obligation for favors so often conferred upon me, and a fervent hope that the party may long continue to be able to. serve the Republic—what cau I, under such circumstanees, do but yield- my private wishes 1o the demand of thuse whose opinions lam bound to respeet? [Applause.] *Gentlemen, with an unfeigned diffidence in my ab:lity to fulfill :the expectations that led to my nomination. I yet feel it .to be my duty toraccept it and do all that it may be in my power to do to merit so marked a distinction.

‘*Gentlemen, the country is blessed by an able and honest administration of the general Government. |Applause.] We have a President who wisely, bravely, diligently and patriotically discharges the duties of his high office. |Applause,] I fully believe that the best interests of the country require his ré-elec-tion, and the hope ‘that J may be able to contribute somewhat to bring about the result is one of my motives for accepting a place on our ticket; and I also feel it my duty to labor for a reduction of taxes and to puta stop to that accumulation of a surplus in the Treasury that, in my judgment, is not only prejudicial to our fitancial welfare, but isin @ high degree dangerous to honest and constitutional governnment. |Applause.] f : 1 suppose, gentiemen, that I need say no more to-day. In due time, and in accordance with established usage, I will transmit to your chairman a*written acceptance of my nomination, with such observations upon public questions as may seem to me to be proper.’ [Applause]. s g 3 ¢ A reception and lunch followed., - :

Hon. P. A. Collls, of Massachusetts, was chosen chalr—.ma of the notification committee. e : § The committee, forming into pairs, proceeded to the White House and were reeeived by the President in the East Room. Chairman Collins, in a few remiarks stated the objef} of the ‘eall, and introduced Charles D). Jacobs, of Kentucky, who read the following letter of notification: * : THE LETTER. : “ WASHINGTON, June 26.—70 Hon. Grover Cleveland, of New York—Sir: The delegates to the National Democratic convention, representing every State and Territory of our Union, having assembled in the ecity of St. Louis on June 5 for the purpose of nominating candidates for the offices of Presidentand VicePregident of the United States, it has become the honorable and pleasing duty of this committee to formally announce to you that, without a ballot, you were by acclamation chosen as the standard-bearer of the Democratic party for the Chief Executiveship of this country at the election to be held in November next. >

*‘Great as is such distinction under any circumstances, it is the more flattering and profound when it is remembered that you have besn ‘selected as your own successor to an office the duties of which, always onerous, have been rendered of an extraordinarily sensitive, difficult and delicate nature because of a change of political parties and methods after twenty-four years of uninterrupted domination. This exaltation is, if possible, added to by the fact that the declaration of principles based upon your National message to the United States relativetoa tariff reduction and a diminution of the expenses of th'e Government throws down the direct and defiant challenge for an exacting scrutiny of the administration of the executive power which four years ago was committed to its trust by the election of Grover Cleveland President of the United States and for the most searching inquiry concerning its fidelityand devotion to the pledges which then invited the suffrages of the people. i o *‘An engrossed copy of that platform, adopted without a dissenting voice, is herewith tendered to you. /In conveying, sir, to you the responsible trust which has been confided to them, this committee beg, individually and collectively, to express the great pleaswre which they have felt at the results attending the National convension of the Democratic pakty, and to offer to you their best wishes for.official and personal success and happiness. *We have the honor, sir, to be your obedient servants.” [Signed by all the members of the committee]. -

Mr. Thomas 8. Pettit, secretary of the Notification Committee, then presented Mr. Cleveland with a handsomely engrossed copy of the platform adopted at the National Democratic convention. g THE PRESIDENT’S REPLY. President Cleveland, in response, said: “I can not but be profoundly/impressed when I see about me the messengers of the National Democracy bearing its summons to duty. The political party to whom I owe allegiance both honors and:commands me. It places in my hands its proud standard and bids me "bear it high at the front in a battle which it wages bravely, because conscious of right; confidently, because its trust is in the people, and soberly, because it .comprehends the obligations which success imposes. : ‘““The message which you bring awakens -within me the liveliest sense of ' personal gratitude and satisfaction, and the honor which you tender me is in itself so great that there might well be noroom for any other sentiment. And yet I .can not rid myself of grave and serious thoughts when I remember that party supremacy is not alone involved in the conflict which presses upon us, but that we struggle to secure and save the cherished institutions, the welfare and happiness of a Nation of freemen. “Familiarity with the great office whichlhold has but added to my apprehension of its sacred character and the consecration demanded of him who assumes its immense respoasibilities. It is the repository of the people’s will and power. ‘Within its vision should be the protection and welfare of the humblest citizen, and with quick ear it should catch from the remotest corner‘of the land the plea of the. people for justice and for right. For the sako of the people he whe holds this office of theirs should resist every encroachment upon its legitimate functions, and, for the sake of the integrity and usefulness of the office, it should be kept near to the people and be administered in full sympathy with their wants and needs. ¢ i *“Th:s occasion reminds me most vividly of the scene when, four years ago, I rece.ved a message from my party similar to that which you now deliver. With all that has passed since thatday I can truly say that the feeling of awe with which I heard the summons then is intensified many fold when it is repeated now. Four years ago I knew that our chief executive office, it not carefully guarded, might drift little by little away from the people to whom it belonged and become a perversion of all it ought to be; but I did not know how much its moorings had already been loosened. 1 knew four years ago how well devised were the principles aof true Democracy fot the successful operation of the Government for the people; but I did not know how absolutely necessary their application then was for the restoration to the people of their safety and wrosperity, I knew then that abuses and extravagances had crept into the msnsgement of public affairs, but 1 did' not know their numerous forms nor the tendency of their grasp. I knew ther something of the bitterness of partisan ob struction, but I did nt know how bitter, how reckless and how shameless it could be. ] knew, too,’ that the American people were patriotic and just, but I did not know how grandly they loved their country nor how noble and generous they were. *I shall not dwell upon the acts and the policy o? the administration now drawing to a close Its record is open to every citizen of the land And yet I will not be denied the privilege ol szsserting at this time that, in the exercise of the functions of the high trust confided to me, I have yielded obedicnce only. to the constitution and the solemn obligatior of my oath of office. Ihave done those things which, in the light of the understanding Goé has given me, seemed most conducive to the welfare of my eountrymen and the promotiorof good government. I would not, if I.could, for myself nor for you, avoid a single conse quence of a fair interpretation of my course. .

\' * 53 2 - Ri: 2 2 - ” NEZERVOUS DISEASES. _ Asa cure for eveﬁy class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individual, Nine-tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heg;l are. dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired digestion. When thereAs an insufiicient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow and nerves is the resnlt. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied, and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of %erfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not contain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our %resent mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves, For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied. This recent production of the South American Continent has been found, by analysis, to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts for its magic power to cure all forms of nervous derangements. : iy o S
