Ths politiclans are still speculsting on coming eveats, The oxcitomont haa somowhat aubsided, which 18 right enough, considering tho time that must clapso Defore slection, A two months' municipal campaign 18 twice too much of agood thing, and there aro thoso who think that two woeks will yot -bo found ‘sucient 10 elect tho tickot that will win, The Germanioo-Hiber- nico leadera are beginning o discorn that thoy started 1n 0o early, and that it would have boon moro dis— creet in them to havo awalted devolopments, snd havo permaiited their oppononta to show tholr hands, This impetuous hasto was the rosult of sttcwmpts on the part of soveral gontlomon to grasp the lesdership,and if those whoaro now fn tho van Lsd not taken tho initiative othors would have come forward and havo cut them out, It wasa nccossity with thom, It was now or nover, no they took now in proforsnce to never, and procipitated the movement on an unhappy community Deforo efther they or tho community wero reslly pro- pared forit. Onco started, howover, nothing could stop It, and now it s under full headwsy, and tho engiucara aro plling on tho steam, Thoy feol confident and norons, and tako grest encouragement from tho detormination of leading Ropublicans to put a tiokot in the field.

Judga Van Buren—or & man exceodingly like the Judgo—waa thero also, to lend his legal ald n the construction of the platform, aud o tako care that it waacouched in apt logal phraso: ology. Senator Kelioo arrived from the South, full of srdor and guthusiasm, ready for tho fray, panting for it, snxious that it should bogin ab once, 0 that his clarion voice and graceful gesture might Vo exorcisod two or threo times every ovening, lo puthim in good condition for bis Senatorlal orations noxt winter. Gen, Lieb was round tho bullding, and undoubtedly went into tho lion's den o lond bia wiso counsel to tho meot~ iug, and clisrm ¢ by hisgonisl prosonco, Senator McGrath, tho modern Machiavelll, was not sbscat, It would not bo » gathering without him. Ia faithful condjutor, tho Hon, Edward Oullorton, accompanicd Tiin, and he, or somo ono else famed for chirographio wers, discharged the onerous functions of Socrelary, Bihers koo numarous to mention—leasor Hghta—fittad round the premiscs all day, dodgod in and out, and scomed aatlsfied with tho rosult of thelr visita. 14 would bo unintersating to record il tiat was pald and dono, Every man had his notioga embodiod in carsfully concoted preambl, *followod by tho ususl_resolutions. one from inyaterlous pockels. and | ruminated untll they wero conaigned to tho ohapurity af tha wata basket or torn up in littlo bits and scattored to tho four winds of Lioaven out of the window, ‘Evory man there was dooply impressed with tho welght of rosponsibility resting upon him. The fato of s municipality was {0 bo fized for two years, per- Liops for all timo, No wonder osch and every man trombled with fear, and exorted bimself to keep evory one olse fram belng impulsivo and rash, There was much talk, It was ihroughout rather calm and unimpassionod. Thero was & dispo-- sition 1o moderate, to issuo s platform of Kaleldoscoplo versatility, which would ploase all and offend none. 80 far aa posaiblo 1t was dotormined to shampoo the sensibilitics of tho entire.community, Belf-rightoousness was to bo the basis of the platform, 1t was to arrogate to the party all that was good, noble 30 true, the fmmortal principles of svory one wore 1o ‘e included, and it would not do to loave out in the cold the l!a::unl:)h::u:hn n“fl"“g‘]’ a{ Ifl;!e- pondence, Magna or the Afora] W, I s’ o bo s comprehensiva ~ platori, Iaw and order recolves much attention, It was resolved that they ware the paity of law aud of order, t00, and that all others woro protenders—thnt will b in the platform. Of course tho party was more in favor of moral suasion than of ghteousncss by statute, and it was decided that, on the * bond tho twig bend tho trea” principlo, it Was botter {o bring tho child up in the way he should go thsn to attempt {o make him goin the right way after ha had been brought up, That was woll enough. Tho porty waa ot in favor of intemperanco, and did not believe in licensing bad men to sell lguors, but that the trado should be restrictod to high-toned and reapoota- ble citizens, While theso reformed saloon-ksopors aro engagod in their trade, thoy ahould be protectod from arbitrary arrest, and that personsl liberties should be as sacrod as a cometory, and bo never invaded. Such 'was the sontiment, The natursl.sequel so this would Do a denunciation of tho polics forcs, and a demand for ita reorganization, meaning, of courss, tho removal of Buperintendent Washburn, The Bunday laws ave rise to consldorable diacusston, Some demanded Lio repeal of all Sunday laws, but more cautious coun- scl provallod, and it was dscided to sppropristo the foronoon to prayer and praise as a concession to the church-going people, and the afternoon is tobo made (ros ad esay for Ui copsumption of liguors, so that those who deatro drink wili nok Lave to dodge in and out of back-doors to get it.
