Before the great elevation take place, at which all men are supposed to arrive at a choice by ways of honestty and intelligence would to God they did at least two minor electkms'of a different character are held. There have always been two great parties, which, since the first national political conventions havs elected delegates to conventions for tha purpose of selecting a candidate and promulgating a platform. One of theas parties haa gone through Us party election of delegates, has selected a candidate and announced a platform. It waa one of the quietest and "moat unanimous occasions that the muses of history have ever recorded. Everything seemed to have been fixed beforehand. There are some conveniences about a convention of that sort One of them is that tha temporary chairman knows lx or nine months beforehand that ha ia going to be temporary chairman. He also knows what he ia wanted to say, compared with what he wants to any. I could appreciate that, I assure you. The permanent chairman also knows what la expected of him for half a year beforehand. The platform cornea ready written no discussion about it and ia perhaps revised by the candidate himself, who haa also been agreed upon. The address of the temporary chairman of the Republican national convention waa in one sense historical It dealt much in history, at any rate, moat of it ancient history and a great deal of it bad history. There waa a labored argument to prove that tha party of Roosevelt must, by something like evolutionary process, art aa the party of Lincoln and McKinley. This was necessary in order to disguise the palpable fact that it ia not so acting. Not without reason, then, this labored eego. where they were tendered a this great and ingenious ceptlon.
