THAT MAN Sloat Fassett, who is going to have another term in the New York senate, was not robbed as reported ; and some persons go so far as to think that politically he has a full hand and a flush in his sleeve, [rss that in most of the southern fights between whites and blacks—invariably started and generally continued by the blacks alone—the whites escape uninjured. If Solomon were here how would he explain that? ep eee ‘6 YOU ARE from Chicago, I take it,” said Jones to a traveler with much voice.“ Yes,” said the traveler with emphasis, “yes, thank heaven!

Platforms are seldom other than Delphic propositions, flexible of construction, to meet the wishes of the reader. Here and there some protuberant statement is made, but the effort to present methods for the universal betterment of mankind fades to a ghostly tracery. The habits, acts, and records of a party are its best bulletin-board. It is the main line, the well-worn road, that is to be followed ; the by-paths are of little account. The diet or drink of the citizen, the method of filling the subordinate clerkships of the government, whether with assistants in sympathy with an existing administration, or in a civil-service way op- posed to it, are not paramount or pivot 1 matter of policy. “general welfare,” the great questions, involving the hazard or helping of American industi and all that that implies, are the important and rock- bottom issues on which platforms, whatever their theatrical ornamentation, must be built. ‘The traditions of the two great parties are historical.
