THE BTBACVBB COBBDT.
The only really aatoslahlag thlng aboul the

tho breaklng of the rallroad reeord hy two newa
ji!i]ier tralns ronreylng to lha conTenllon toura
uf Byracuae two New-Vork Clty Democratlc
mornlng papera ln unproccdented tlme. <iur

,,us occaaion bad erer lni.1 eyea oa a Xew-York

formaaca wblcb our truatworthy contemporary
publlahed ln Its evenlng edltlon it appeara that
thia Journallatlc achlerement occupled the minds
,,f ihe delegatea .md dtfaeag generally pretty
much all day. m lha exclualon of all other toplca.
And yet II was n. 1 mciitionc.l. s<? far ns is BOW
known, i.y any <>f ihe spenkers ..r even referred
I.. iii ihe plntfonn.
In other reapecta the conventlon broke ti"
recorda, though many ?.f tbe delegatea doubt
leaa had records which they WOUM^IB glad tO
bare broken, or, if not broken. ..bscurcl Just a
little. Perry BeJmont ?s lemporary chairman
was not more funny than uaual, but Perry is
alwaya a gUCCfgg in pn.v.king laught.T, and
never more so than when ba tak.*s hims.lf serl
ously and sets out to be impresslve. Hls re
marka aboul Davld B. Hill and the self-sacri
fldng way in which thnt statesman peimltted
blmaelf to be pubmerged last year for the good
of ihe party were ln l'crry's tinest veln of subtle
lnni.oi". And Iloswell P. PIOWUI was n*.t half

one of which is that f-.r hia hlgher flight s be

his utlerances s.-ldom fall to exdte niinh. 11"
was qnlte a help f<> the comedy. So also was
Orady. who made the greateet effort "f hls llfe.
It was a spirited speech. The State Democ?
racy also coutributed to tha general hiiarity by
ihe maidenly dlgnlty wlth whlch they retlred
from bad company when th.y found they were
not wanted at tho price tbey demanded.
Th.*n there were the resolutions the platform
r-o called. They were f'.r the most part stereo
typed. That is, they sald Ihe saui.* old things ln
pretty much the same old way about the iufa
moua manner In which the K.publican party
had con.bicte.l th.- Gorernmenl f"r a great many
y.ars and what hard work ihe Democracy had
; . do to get the National financs and ihe busi?
ness of the country int? thelr pivs.*nr boomlng
an.l hlghly proepcrona condltlon; an.l ihey dld
up th.- usual generallaatlona in the usual broad*
ininded. large an.l general way to which no
maa who takea deUghl in worda can rais.- nn
objectlon. Unt tbere arere thlng!* in them that
w.re ever so funny. Just think for a moment
of the peraoanel of the conventlon, nnd then
that it said. with appnrent aerlouaneaa, ihat lt
farored "economy in public expenaea; no publlc
money for prlrate purpoaea or polltical Jobs."
"Honeety in public ofllce; n.. talnted leglalatora;
no eorrupt tiatflc in leglslatlon" think of that
ns a pPOTOCatlon of hiiarity. Then -Honest cle-c
tions" nnd "PlBCtlcal nnd honest reform Bi the
I'lvil Service"! was ev.-r sucli a funny lot of
feUoura gathered under one roof before V And
tbey did it nll with perfectly gtralghl facea, arltb
oul even eracklng a aarile, And atlll there are
thoae who say tli.it the Deniocratic party ns an
organlsed body baa no aense ..f bumor. Why,
thal convention waa funnier than half a doaeu
cinuses. with three ring* in each and a thou?
aand ciowua ln each ring.
Hut th.* exciae plank! If was on that ih:it tbe
party was golng to mnk.* u reeord that would
be altogether out of nlght. It was adv.nls.il
that ihe party wouM falrly aatonlab Itaelf i.y the
boldneaa with whi.h it would walk up to the
.m >-? ijuistioii. abollah sunday, tbrow opi a -.
loona for all boura of day and night every day
ln the year. nnd say "Here'fl peraoaal lil.erty f..r
y?.ii'' And it jiiBl dldn'l. It walke.l uji to it -
aml Kincll of ll. Then it said: '"A good many
"Demoerata beMere Busday should i.e a day ?.f

And that. after nll, was the ftinulest thlng ih<*y
dld. I'or they fo .lid ii.. on.* And the crude
attempt lo da it araa the graateal Joka of the
conveiition.
Hut the wh.;le iiftaii* was funnier lliau a bainl
