On the Cretlc, bound to the Medi terranean, will sail to-day Judge Charles Post, of Guilford, Conn., and his bride, who was Miss Fannie M. Bill, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Pahner Bill, of Norwich, Conn. After a courtship lasting more than 30 years, Judge Post and his faithful sweetheart were married at Norwich on Thursday. The reason they didn’t wed before was that the bride was so devoted to her parents she couldn't leave them. She made a vow that she would never wed until both were gone. The death of father and mother within a year released Miss Bill from her vow. Judge and Mrs. Post will spend their honeymoon in Italy, Switzer land, Germany and England, return ing in the fall. —While going from the ball park to town at Charlotte Wednesday in an -automobile MessrB.

In Chicago Platform the Republican Party Makes Desperate Bid for Votes and Slakes Rosy Promises for the Future. Richmond News-Leader. In the platform of the Republican national convention, curiously put be fore the public before the convention had met or had opportunity to con sider or to act, the Republican party is preBepted as down on its knees to the country. Apparently it is in dire fright. With clasped hands, quiver ing lips, chalky face and wild eyes it babbles incoherently of what it has done in the past and pours forth promises of what it will do in the fu ture if but given a chance. No ori ental criminal prostrating himself before a judge with the prospect of death before him ever abased himself more abjectly or pleaded more wild ly or inconsequentially. The platform seems to indicate that the Republican party has lost Its intellect, its foresight, its power of expression, its comprehension of thp intelligence'of the public. It asks millions of thinking and intelli gent American people to believe that all the progress, growth and prosper ity of the country in the last sixty years have been brought about by the Republican party and its policies. It undertakes to Ignore all the mag nificent mental achievements, the en of'Americans and to accredit to the Republican party all the results that have come from them to the Repubii lloan party. It frantically recites all the achievements of Roosevelt as work^of the Republican party, over looking the plain record that the most decisive of those achievements were against Republican opposition and with Democratic aid. With des perate importunity it promises tariff revision by an extra session of con gress and presently an adequate cur rency reform. The platform is one of the feeblest productions we remember to have seen. It shows alarm and confusion among the Republican leaders and thinkers such as we did not believe existed. It gives us the first thought we have had in four years of the pos sibility of Democratic success- next November. Taft und Roosevelt may be strong enough to pull it through but we begin to doubt. A load like that 1s a task even for an elephant. The Democratic answer is plain. The Republicans confess the need for tariff revision. They have hadf and failed to use the opportunity for re vision. Therefore, revision ■ of the tariff should bp entrusted to those who have proved themselves to be the friends of revision not to those who by- their preconcerted and' per sistent neglect of it have proved themdeives to be its enemies. Currency reform should be entrusted to those who have demanded and represented currency reform,- not to those who haVe proved themselves to be Ipcapable of giving It or unwil ling to give it'; -who in their pretenc es of-glvlng it have presented the country with a measure ludicrously feeble and inadequate. WHITHER ARB WE DRIFTING. There would seem to be no doubt that Mr. Taft If not entirely accept able to Wall Street has been adopted as the best that can be obtained un der the circumstances. Wall Street expects to' control Taft and has doubtless had assurances it will do so. But a-specter arises, as the re sult of Republican policies, that may well make an honest citizen stand a ghast at whither are we drifting. That well-known financier of Wall Street, Henry Clews, in a speech de livered before the Manchester Econ omic Club on May 20th, gives us an Inkling of what may be expected. "It may surprise some to learn that the great power concentrated In the President’s hands by Congress has made the great corporations. In cluding the railroad compaoleg and banking institutions, ambitious and eager to control the Federal Govern ment Itself, and they pre resolutely working to control it as far as they can by the force of capital, but as unobtrusively as possible. "Already there are BUb rosa pow erful political machines. In this connection it Is significant that some large railway and banking Interests have identified themselves with the Taft movement.” The success of the pemocratlc par ty, therefore, Is all that will prevent the rule of plutocracy, and the plun dering of the people with greater and greater effect than ever before. Defeat now may never be retrieved. with all of the powerful Influence of concentrated wealth In the handi of the Republicans and their alli ance with trust* and combines, 11 successful at the coming election 11 will be nigh Impossible to dislodge them hereafter. ■ —Mr. Perry Dover returned yestei day from a visit to Clover, 8.
