R. BARNIS’S retirement from the Republican State Com- mittee reduces the Progressive campaign in this State to the most complete absurdity known to the history of Ameri- “ean politics. As the Progressive conference publicly abandoned the whole ot their platform of 1912 and made Mr. Eucnes’s chairmanship ys the sole object of their attack, there ir not left to them even so much te frazzle.
