EDITORIAL LETTER. Cmoseo, June 25, ’88. Dan: Gaston—Connecticut is repre- sented here by a greater number of her sons 'and daughtersnon resident ' in our state and residents in all the Western states, than were ever gathered at any National nominating convention ever convened; It is estimated that not less than two hundred Connecticut citizens have visited ‘our Headquarters at the Grand Pacific and not less that one thous- and Connecticut Yankees from all other sections of our grand and glorious coun— try. From Norwalk were Senator E. J. Hill, Representative John H. Ferris and E. O. Keeler, who are both homeward (bound from the far west. Ferris has made an extensive trip over the Pacific coast of California, while Keeler returns from his visit to his sick brother George at Leadville. Then we have 0. E. Wilson and wife, the former having lost his voice in “whoopingJer-up" for Depew and Gresham; Geo. R. Bylngton, John Hyatt, Wm.F. Rockwell and other locally known parties, besides our full list of Convention Delegates. As a matter of course, the demand for tickets of admission has been unprecedented all around. Chicago and the Convention Hall have been jammed with excited people and on the question of preference for Presidential candidates they have been about as badly tangled up as a “boom" of Maine, Michigan or Wis— cousin logs. One marked feature arrested the attention and challenged the wonder, if not admiration'of all. That was the constant and all pervading undertow for Blaine. Had he not soaperemptorily and unequivocally refused to accept a candi— dacy, he would have been nominated on the first ballot, by overwhelming numbers. It has been like the Marsh-Dias De Bar spirit portraits. It mattered not whose name was visible on top, a little brushing brought out in the strongest relief the name of the Plumed Knight, underlying the name of every other favorite son. It is wonderful, the magnetism of his name and fame and the electric energy with which it has kindled the flames of wildest enthusiasm throughout the Convention. The great majority of the delegates seem— ed to want him all the more because he had refused them his name. But good nature and the same fair and courteous treatment seems to have been accorded all the candidates. The vast Hall itself with its gaudy decorations of flags and portraits of distinguished soldiers and statesmen, with its thousands of electric lights and gay array of well-dressed and well-behaved men and women, were Objects so impress- ive as never to be forgotten. The Hall is oval or egg-shaped and four galleries are at its western end, with three at the sides and rear, while the desk of the presiding officer is about one-third'forward from the rear or eastern end. The delegates and re- porters occupied the floor or amphitheatre. At its greatest jam there were fully 12,000 people packed within the enclosure and at nearly every session from eight to ten thousand were quietly and comfortably seated therein. , The opening prayer was especially im- pressive. It was adevout supplieation for Divine guidance and blessing and‘ a pat- riotic inspiration to all who love Liberty. The various officers of the Convention, seemed in the main to have been well chosen. The presentation speeches were . in excellent good taste, with very rare and ‘fiotféi‘llle Mayor on behalf of the citiz‘enb. . 'of Chicago.” - unimportant exceptions. The Platform is a clear, cogent and forceful enunciation of the principles of the great Republican party, and possesses many features in striking contrast to that of our opponents. The delegates were men deeply imbued with a spirit of patriotic love of country and of their party creeds as leading up to the Nation's highest attainments in mental, moral and physical greatness, and to whom their Republicanism seemed but the form of a deep rooted and fervent religious con- viction. The spirit and true essence of Republicanism is peace, patriotism, happi- ness, prosperity and liberty and justice to every citizen of the Republic, of what- ever creed, nationality, color, or condition. It lights the land with freedom and in- vokes benign benediction on rich and poor alike. Such were the sentiments and feel- ings inspiring every speech of presentation and fl‘eighting with captivating eloquence every effort of the nation’s best known ora- tors. . Among the many exhilarating incidents Of the Convention were the presentation of a gavel by Mr. Kerr of Michigan, made from the wood of the old oak tree under which the Republican party was organized July 6, 1854, and which has in its struc- ture or treatment copper, wool, iron, salt, and wood, the five things, said the smiling ex-Congrcssman, which the Democratic party wished to ruin and abolish, and he thought the instrument was one with which the convention should begin to pound the life out of the Democracy. Re- sponding to the sally, Chairman Thurston smote the desk with his new gavel, de- claring, “I will begin now.” A metal gavel was also presented the permanent chairman, which is a beautiful piece of workmanship, twelve inches in length and weighing thirty-three ounces, twenty-five of which are of silver and eight of gold. The handle is nine inches in length, of solid silver, twisted, at the top of which are two escutcheons Of the United States in gold and enamel. Above this is the Americancagle bearing on its back the gavel proper, which is of silver, bearing upon it the names of the thirty- 't"fght States of, the Union. At each end Linndfeafvy gold plate, upon one of which inflame-carat diamond and the arms of jhegtate of Illinois, and at the other end FIRM “Presented to the National "Re‘pnbfiun Convention of 1888 by- his k Another bit of noble sentiment followed. The Chair announced the presence of Gen- eral Fremont. the first Presidential nom- -' ineeuofflse Republican party. As the pariarch of 1856 came forward, appearing . as the epitome of his party, there was a welcome shouted from lungs that must have made half his heavy years slip from his buoyant spirits, and that lighted his eye with the exciting happiness of a life’s record. He made a brief speech, just to reflect back some of the joy so generously poured upon him in the kindness of old friends or the sons of old friends, sitting before him. White-haired, darkf-aitinnod Fred Doug- lass was clamoredjor, and the words he uttered found welcome and ~llpproval by every friend of that party which, having freed and educated tlle black man, has yet to make the freedman a rights-enjoy- ing citizen. » . Then bigzbmined and big-hearted and eloquent “Bob” Ingersoll was clamored for, but only came-fora ard after the clos- ed Friday evening’s session and‘tllen,as so many public men are continually doing, fatally marred his noble effort by a politi- cal blunder, which seemed to seal the fate of Gresham. Secretary Sam. Fesscndcn read the call of the Convention, with utterance so clear and emphasis so apt as to challenge the heartiest applause of the vast audience. “Sam.” was well nigh ubiquitous and an universal and helpful necessity, and won the gratitude of scores bearing our neat and humorous “nutmeg" badge, who would have been compelled to stay out of the Convention or gone into the markets and paid from $100 down to $50 for tick- ets as many did. It was a curious inci- dent howvso many tickets got into ticket speculators' hands. Single admissions were readily sold at $10 each, and the Inter-Ocean advertised on Wednesday a set for sale $100 for the balance of the week. We are knowing to one sale at $75 and another at $50. The colored dele- gates are charged with being responsible for this profitable commercial speculation, but the exact truth does not seem to have been gleaned with anything like judicial certainty. It is a scandal that should be prevented in the future. The citizens of Chicago have certainly made, great efforts to provide comfortable and reasonable entertainment for all the vast multitudes, who having taken advan- tage of the low rates of excursiontickets, have throngcd their city' by day and by night. The city is gaily attired and more loyal bunting is flying all Over the city than at any time since the war. The great Central Commercial Emporiaum of the Continent seems not only proud of the ad- miration bestowed by her visitors, but is taming it to a most profitable account._ Among the very many noted personages present, Mrs. Gen. Logan in her widow’s weeds and wealth of snow white hair. is conspicuous. The changes to this’noble' wife of one of the noblest of the Nation's defenders. between the present Conven- tion and the one of four years agone, must be fraught with sad and heart-breaking memories. During Friday’s session your correspondent sat beside the last living member of the Lincoln Cabinet, ex-Secr'e- tary of the Interior Harlan, of Iowa. ’ He was accompanied by a bright and well developed youth of some ten summers,the son of his daughter, Mrs. Robert Lincoln. and the grand-son of the world renowned and revered Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Har- lan is a remarkable specimen of a well preserved old age, for one so long and so severely engrossed as he has been in the cares and labors of public life After the performances of Friday night and the sessions of Saturday and adjourn- ment over to Monday,it seemed most prob- able that the nomination would be forced on Blaine,with Harrison for second place. But the friends of McKinley became greatly elated over the rumor. that Sherman had telegraphed awithdrawal. If that be true he will be a grave factor in the muddled contest. Ohio's history of eight years ago will repeat itself today. But no one knows at this writing with any positive- ness what will be the outcome of to-day’s session. The one great fact remains that of all the names before the Convention, Blaine's is the only one that would, but for his peremptory declination, sweep the , Convention as with a whirlwind. Many delegates have brought their wives and children with them and the intense enthusiasm with which they cheer allusions to their favorites andespccially those to Mr. Blaine,is intensely interesting and exhilarating. Great numbers ofladies have brought small flags into the Conven- tion which they wave with great vehe- mence. In other cases they are seen to snatch their pretty bonnets from their heads and jump up into their seats and swing them with intenscst vigor. One very marked and distinctive feature of this Convention that occasions universal remark is, that neither in or about the Convention Hall has a single intoxicated person been seen. This, ,we are assured, breaks the record of the St. Louis Conven- tion, although that city is a prohibition town. It is certainly an illcidentof the Convention worthy of commendatory ap- preciation. The delegates were univcr sally chagrin- ed and disgusted at being kept here over Sunday, but the taverns and city trans- portation lines, are undisguised in their manifestations of delight. But this is surely to prove a most grave and import- ant Convention and we can better afford to “make haste slowly" than to make any mistakes. . ’ The two sons of Mr. Blaine, Walker and Emmons, are here, and they are reported to have assured persons who have talked about their father to them, as a possible candidate, that under no circumstances would he accept a nomination even Were it unanimously tendered. That he could not in honor do so, after the stand he had so unqualifiedly taken and it was useless to consider his acceptance as among things possible. Whether true or false, the state- ment has had much to towards setting the attention of the more zealous Blaine men towards McKinley, who,though'handicap- ped by both Sherman and Foraker, is in the minds of many after all the most avail- able man to lead the Republicans to vic- tory next November. Should he be select. ed to—day as is so largely believed that he will be, the probabilities are that either Morton of N. Y., Phelps of N. J ., or Haw- ley of Conn.,will be placed second on the’ ticket. But why further speculate, when a few hours, and possibly minutes, will furnish a positive settlement of the‘import- ant issue. - Col. Fred Grant and wife are also con- spicuous and interested attendants on the Convention sessions. The Colonel's wife was formerly a noted Chicago belle. We chanced to meet Mr. Walker Blaine a few moments since and he informs us -thatall the rumors afloat about him and his brother talking about the probabilities of his father's accepting or rejecting a un- animous nomination are wickedly false. Neither he nor his brother has ever receiv- ed one word from their father on the sub- ject and they have no information other than that given the public in their father’s two letters, from Florence and Paris. Nevertheless the active circulation of the manufactured lie, has stirred up much had blood among the delegates. . One of the most pleasing incidents of the entire series of sessions, ’was the pres. ence of Gen. Sherman’s rarely beautiful and flaxen haired daughter, with Walker Blaine as her escort. during the rarely able and eloquent speeches commending her uncle, Senator John Sherman, to the favor of the vast assemblage of delegates, with effusive eulogy of her father and the whole Sherman family. , Considerable talk last night was for Platt of Connecticut and Porter of Indians, for second place on the ticket. ' E. O. Keeler and John H. Ferris left us for home Saturday night. , IrAalnsON AND MORTON NOMINATED. Cucheo, June 25.—On the reassembling of the convention this morning Mr. Ben- tclle of Maine, read two cablegrams from Mr. Blaine, which effectively impressed upon the members the sincerity of his former repeated Withdrawals and the first ballot of the day was taken amid. great confusion and showed a material Harrison in. Following this ballot the stampede 5‘ ame general and the next ballot, (the eighth of the series,) gave Harrison 544 votes, or 127 votes more than were requir- ed to nominate him. When the, result was announced Gov. Foraker of Ohio, who had clung faithfully to John Sherman, moved to make Harrison’s nomination un. animous, which was enthusiastically sec- onded by all the delegations. , After anvadjournment, Mr. Gri s of New Jersey, nominated William alter Phelps of that state, for vice-president, and exSenator Warner Miller .of New York,nomiuated Levi P. Morton. The first ballot chose Mr. Morton, with 591 votes, and he was declared the nominee of the. convention. ._ The following plank was added to the platform, and the great convent on ad- journed without day : , The first concern of all good govern— ments is the virtue and sobriety of people and the purity of their homes. The re— publican party cordially sympathizes with all wise and well-directed efforts for the promotiou of temperance and morality. As ever, B.

Benjamin Harrison, the next Pres- ident Of the United States, is eminently fitted for that lofty position, by virtue of his proud and historic line of ancestry, his superior qualificatlons as a statesman and patriot, and his pure and lofty chur- actcr. His career is one to which all Americans may point With patrioticpride, and one which illustrates the glory of our system of government and the possibilities it affords. Gen. Harrison is destined to occupy the exalted chair once held by his illustrious grandfather—not by a monarch- ial right of inheritance, but by the will of a free people who recognize in him a fit— ness for the position,-and whose capacity for self government is still further empha- sized and their glorious possibitities fur— ther illustrated by the significant fact that in the intervening period between the ad- ministrations of grandfather and grand~~ son, the people have chosen as their chief executive, men of obscure parentage and humble beginnings, including a rail—split— ter, a tanner and a leader of canal boat mules, each of whom will live in the grate- ful memory of the nation as long as the nation’s history shall be preserved. , General Harrison’s record is above re— proach, as a mama soldier, a statesman and a lawyer, and his ability, moral cour— age and patriotism arc unquestioned. His nomination is a wise outcome of a convention memorable for the intensity of its factional prejudices and the heat ’of its excitement, which made possible a much less desirable choice in a “dark horse” compromise. ' The selection of Gen. Harrison as the standard bearer of the' republican party ad-L mite of no valid excuse for sorcheadsfo play the traitor to thc party,alld withdraws Indiana from the list of doubtful states, while the protection plank in the platform, on which Gen.Harrls‘on stands squarely and unequivocally, makes Connecticut and New Jersey reasonably sure, as well as New York, where success is made all the more probable by the selection of a favor- ite sou, Hon. Levi P. Morton. for Vice President, 11 man against whom no charge can be brought effecting his integrity, ability nor fidelity to republican principles. The ticket is an excellent one, and one that will attract all who have the interest of our industries and the laboring classes at heart. And furthermore it is the ticket that will sweep the field next November and overthrow the most inefficient, hypo- critical and mischievous administration that was ever inflicted upon a free and cnligllted people. ——-——-—-‘- . The Republican Platform. 'Ihe platform of the republican party adopted at the National Convention in Chicago on Thursday eulogizes Grant, Garfield, Arthur, Logan and Conkling and sympathizes with Gen. Sherideu, congrat- ulates fellow Americans in Brazil on their emancipation and hopes for peaceful home rule in Ireland; declares forafree ballot and a fair count and charges the democratic success to fraud. The tariff plank is as fol- lows: We are uncompromisingly in favor Of the American system of protection. We protest against its destruction as proposed by the President and his party. They serve the interestsof Europe; we support the inter- ests of America. We accept the issue and confidently appeal to the people for their judgment. The protection system must be maintained. Its abandonment has always ' been followed by general disaster to all in- terests except those of the usurer and the sheriff. as destructive to the general business, the labor and the farming interests of the coun- try, and we heartily endorse the consistent and patriotic action of the Republican rep- resentatives in Congress in opposing its passage. We condemn the proposition of the Democratic party to place wool on the free list and we insist that the duties there. on shall be adjusted and maintained so to . furnish full and adequate protection to the _ industry. The. republican party would effect all’needed reduction of the national revenue by repealing the taxes on tobaccos ‘WIIICII are an annoyance and burden to agri- culture, and'th'e tax upon spirits used in the arts and medicinal purposes, and by such re- vision Of the tariff laws as will tend to check imports of such articles as are produced by our people, the production of which gives employment to our labors. and release from import duties those articles of foreign pro- duction (except luxuries) the like of which cannot be reduced at home. If there shall still remain a larger revenue then is re- uired for the wants of the government we aver the entire repeal of internal taxes rather than the surrender of any part of our protective system at the joint behests of the whisky trusts and the agents of the foreign manufacturers. It condemns Chinese labor, foreign con- tract Iabor, combinations of capital and “trusls;” reafirmsthe policy of bestowing public lands upon citizens instead of aliens and the restoration of unearned railroad grants to the public domain; demands the admission of Soulll Dakota to statehood; urges the passage of pending ,bill in the Senate establishing state governments in other territories; denounces Mormomism; condemns" the democratic policy of attempt- ing to demonetize silver; demands the re- duction of letter postage to one cent an ounce, and the establishment of free schools by the government ; demands appropriations for reconstructing the navy and coast fortifi- cations; arraigns the administration for cow- ardice and inefficiency in its foreign policy and its weak and unpatriotic treatment of the fisheries question, and demands protec- tion for citizens at home or' abroad; pays this compliment to the Mugwumps: “The men who abandoned the Republican party in 1884 and continue to adhere to the Demo- cratic party have deserted not only the cause of honest government, of sound finance, Of freedomzor purity of the ballot, but cspe~ cially have deserted the cause of reform in the civil service. We will not fail to keep our pledges because they have broken theirs ;” repeats the. civil service reform declarations of 1884, denounces the Presi- dent for hostility to the soldier in his vetoes of pensiOn bills. ____.....__.__..

A QUESTION OF HEALTH. What Baking Powder Shall We Use 1’ This plain question comes home to every housekeeper. We all- desire pure and wholesome food, and this cannot be had with the use of lmpurc or poisonous baking powder. There can be no longer a question that all the cheaper, lower grades of baking powders contain either alum, lime or phosphatic acid. As loath as we may be to admit so much against what may have been some Of our house- hold gods, therc can be no gainsaying the unanimous testimony of the official chem- ists. Indeed, analysts seem to find no baking powder entirely free from some one of these objectionable ingredients ex- cept the Royal, and that they report as chemically pure. We filld some of the baking powders advertised as pure, to contain, under the tests of Professors Chandler, Habit-Shaw and others, nearly twelve per cent. of lime, while others are made from alum with no cream of tartar. This, we presume, accounts for their lack of leavening power as sometimes com— plained of by the cook, and for tile bitter taste found in the biscuits so frequently complained of by ourselves. But aside from the inferiority of the work done by these powders, the physi- cians assure us that lime and alum taken into the system, in such quantities as this are injurious. Their physiological effects are indigestion, dyspepsia, or worse evils. The question naturally arises, why do these cheap baking powder makers use these things? Alum is three cents a pound, lime still cheaper, while cream of tartar costs thirty-five or forty. The rea— sons for the chemical purity of the Royal Baking Powder were recently given in the New York Times in an interesting descrip- tion Of a new method for refining Ill'gols, or crude cream of tartar. It seems that it is only under this process that cream of tartar can be freed from the lime natural to it and rendered chemically pure; that the patent and plants for this cost the Royal Baking Powder Company about half a million dollars, and that they main- tain exclusive control of the rights. Professor McMul'trie, late-chief chemist of the Department of Agriculture, at Washington, D. 0., made an examination of this process, and reported upon the re— sults attained in the refined cream of tar— tar. port would seem to answer the question repeated at the head of this article, and which is so frequently propoundcd by the housekeeper : “I have examined the cream of tartar 'used by the Royal Baking Powder Com- ‘pany in the manufacture of their baking powder, and find it to be perfectly health- deletcrlous sub— stance. The Royal aking Powder is ‘purcst in quality and highest in strength of any-baking powder Of which I have _ knowledge.” _.—_.__. .______.__. . ——- Prompt relief in sick headache, diz- ,- ziness, nausea, constipation, pain in the side. guaranteed to those using Carter’s Little Liver Pills.
