The Cincinmati Platform—How It Will Affect the Candidates. It is a great point-in a political canvass to have the platform and the candidate match each other. The Cincinnati platform was adopted before it was known who would be the candidate, and it is, unfortunately, con- structed to help Blaine rather than Hayes. ‘That part of it which the Convention grected with the most enthusiastic applause was the plank on the school question, which would have been a great card for Blaine but cannot help Hayes, When Hayes was nomi- mated for Governor of Ohio his prin- cipal competitor was Judge Taft, now Attorney General of the United States, and the sole reason why Taft was rejected and Hayes taken lay in the fact that Taft had made himself obnoxious to the Catholics of Ohio by his course on the school question, while Hayes had stood aloof. Hayes was nominated be- cause he had not affronted the Catholic sentiment of Ohio. The school plank of the Cincinnati platform, while it would have strengthened Blaine, who is a member of the secret Order opposed to the Catholics, will weaken Hayes, who was nominated for his present office because he had done nothing to offend the Catholics, This part of the Cincinnati platform is out of harmony with the Cincinnati candi- date. Had it been foreseen that Governor Hayes would be the nominee this plank would not have been framed into the plat- form. It would have strengthened Blaine, but it weakens Hayes as beingin contradic- tion to his record, The currency declaration of the plat- form will also weaken Hayes instead of strengthening him. In his contest with Governor Allen last fall the elec- tion turned on the merits of the act of Congress requiring a resumption of specie payments in 1879. Every speaker on the Hayes side defended and eulogized that act; every speaker on the Allen side made that act the chief topic of denunciation, and, in the later stages of the canvass, the democrats rested their whole claim to indorsement on their opposition to the forced resumption for which that law provides. But the Cin- cinnati platform surrenders all the ground on which Governor Hayes stood in the Ohio election last October. Instead of insisting on resumption in 1879 the Cincin- nati platform retreats behind a vague asser- tion that specie payments ought to be re- sumed “‘at the earliest practicable period,” treating the question precisely as if the act of 1875 had not been passed, and as if the republican party had not bound itself by a solemn Congressional pledge to resume at a definite, specified date, This is the Allen platform, and not the Hayes platform, of last year. It relinquishes the great advantage which Governor Hayes might have had from his signal triumph over Allen last year. It shifts the republican canvass to the Allen ground, and virtually withdraws the currency as a Presidential issue. A party which thus refuses to stand by its own colors and to maintain its own legislation cannot expect the confidence of the advocates of hard money. A Bavrat Farzen has been arrested for savagely beating his son until the boy’s body presented a horrible mass of bloody bruises. While the law and society respect the parental right to administer deserved cor- rection there is a limit at which sven a father must stop. It is the line which separates the intelligent man from the savage brute. Really, the brutes show us an excellent example in their affection for their offspring, which will put to shame many possessing the Godlike form of man without the controlling powers of rea- son which should distinguish them from the lower animals.

Owing to the disinclina- tion of the Hudson River Railway to pass thé Pullman cars” over their road their Majesties were detained for nearly an hour at the Albany depot. The reason alleged was that the Pullman cars could not pass under the the bridges of the line, but the conductor stead- fastly asserted that the car occupied by the Em- Peror had been over the road and would pass freely if the Hudson River people would consent to send it, They, however, refused to make the experiment, and the imperial party was cémpelled to change cars at considerable inconvenience. His Majesty treated the matter lightly, but the members of the suite expressed themselves very freely on the want of courtesy shown by the Hudson River company. On the arrival of the imperial party at Pough- keepsie carriages were in waiting, and they were driven directly to Vassar College. By the time that interesting institution was reached it was noon, and the classes had all been dismissed, so that their Majesties saw the institution under very unfavorable circumstances. Professor Raymond showed His Majesty through the building, while the lady Professors took charge of the Empress. The working of the different departments was explained to the Emperor by the Professor having charge of them. He was particularly inter- ested in the chemical and physical departments, which he examined with minute care. Learning that there was a large Latin and Greck class he wished to hear the young ladies recite. Inaccord- ance with this expressed wish the class was assem- bled and His Majesty had an opportunity to listen to a number of young ladies reading “Plautus” in a most creditable manner. His Majesty asked the students several questions, through the Professor, in order to judge how thoroughly the students were acquainted with their subject, and the answers in every case were satisfactory. After a short visit to the museum, where there 1s a well chosen collection, His Majesty ascended to the observatory, where he had an interesting tnter- view with Mrs. Professor Mitchell. His Majesty was very well pleased with all he saw, but thought that, in some respects, the Wellesley College, near Bos- ton, was better arranged than Vassar, though not so complete in all its departments, Crossing over to West Point His Majesty, accom- panied by Vice Admiral de Lomane, rather surprised the occupants of the old fort. General Ruger, how- ever, was not to be discomfted, and welcomed His Majesty cordially to West Point. The Emperor made his first visit to the Observatory, which 1s not in first class order. Having learned that the fag end of the students were undergoing their exam- ination in mathematics His Majesty expressed a wish to witness the examination. General Ruger having introduced His Majesty to the members of the Examining Board, His Majesty took a eeat close to the students and listened with attention to the questions propounded by Professor Church to one of the students, who answered very creditably. The Museum of Arms, the Gymnasium and the cadets’ quarters were visited in succession, His Majesty hav- ing expressed a wish to see the monument erected to Kosclusko and the grave of General Scott, the General entered hia carriage and accompanied the Emperor to the hallowed spots. His Majesty culled a number of wild flowers in the enclosure of the Kosciusko monument, saying he knew several Poles to whom he would send these flowers, and so make them happy. Onthe return of the party from their pil- grimage to the graves of the departed soldiers the cadets were drawn up in line, dressed in their neat gray jackets and white pants. General Ruger had ordered a parade and infantry drill for the benefit of the Emperor. The presence jn the ranks’ of the seventy new cadets seemed to give the Gen- eral some uneasiness lest they should impair the steadiness of the command while executing the manmuvres; but this fear proved groundless, as the marching past was very steady, and the evolutions, though simple, were executed with spirit and pre- cision, under the command of General Neil. His Majesty was much struck by the splen- did physique of the cadets, and Admiral Lomane several times spoke of them with admiration. ‘The Emperor, however, does not think that West Point is as well mounted as Annapolis, where the system and appointments are wellnigh perfect. On the conclusion of the parade His Majesty thanked the officers and took his leave. General Ruger and Professor de Janon accompanied the imperial party to the landing place, and in parting the Emperor again thanked him warmly for the attentions he had received. The imperial party arrived in;this city about half- past seven, and were immediately driven to their quarters in the Windsor Hotel. Notwithstanding the fatigues of the day their Majesties went to the Fifth Avenue Theatre to witness the, performance of “Pique.” The audience at first did not recognize their Majestics; but when the Brazilian national air was played and their Majesties rose to their feet the audience recognized the distinguished visitors and warmly welcomed them. Pc Majesties leave for Newport by the morning in. THE EXPECTED VISIT TO NEWPORT. Newrort, R. J., June 16, 1876.
