The Week

The article comments on political developments all round the world. The Austrian Liberals have also been unfortunate at the late general elections. They have lost forty-five seats, leaving them with a majority of only eleven, which can hardly be called a working majority. In an another news, the Republican Conventions of Pennsylvania and Wisconsin were held on the 23rd at Harrisburg and Madison respectively. The platforms adopted and the various speeches delivered were eloquent rather than precise, which speaks volumes for the heroic enthusiasm of the delegates, who evidently had a cut-and-dried task to perform. Both conventions affirmed that the U.S. are a nation and not a league, that the Democrats are endeavoring now to obtain by plotting what they lost in fight.
