The Park Meeting Jack Westervelt in the
Field for SHERIFF. Fun Expected-Music-
Poetry-P0litics-a and Mesmerism.
The old saying that "potcs is the proper study
OF man. is about being verified this afternoon IN
the Park Pope said, the proper study of mankind
is man." That may have been all very well in his
day. when people were trying to write themselves
up for morality and the humanities." But if that
pleasant gentleman should come to life to-day, he
would find himself assured in jffy that he Z" didn't
know beans" We shall have politics to-day.
Just about four o'clock, perhaps an hour or two

quite too email for the demonstration to be made
this day-and the democrats, the original locoto-
cos, the young democracie, and the old hunkers,
have united upon one thing for the first time in their
lives and have agreed to adjourn beforehand to the
Park, SO that they can breathe deeper and freer,
and go through their manipulations of knocking
each other down. just for the pleasure of the thing,
upon the old fashioned principle of mesmsrizng the
human body, and putting one another to sleep by
crack upon the sconce, instead of the gentle stroke
of the modern mesneriser.
The great contest, as we hear, is to be upon the
Sheriff question. Three candidates are in the field
from CONGRATULATIONS from Connecticut-Hall
from Connecticut-Attwood from Come cticut-all
are opposed to Jack Westervelt, who claims to be
born upon The sod of New York-a regular built
Knickerbocker and an out and-outer. Well Jack
may floor them all. His popularity, indoors and
out of doors, is unbounded. He is handsome man
withal, and knows the duties OF his office which
can hardly be said of any of the others. The wo-
men are for him the children are for him for he
never oppressed human being in his life, and yet
the members of the bar say he is most effective

Jack is good stuff, too-hoIorable stuff He comes
up to the rack, fodder or no fodder. He goes the

and he must be supported at the coming election:-

the third time, tor the nomination OF sheriff. having
been unable during the preceding sessions to make
selection. On that evening the votes cast in my favor
intended SO to be were forty three, being majority OF
the whole convention. which consisted Of eighty five
delegates On that vote claim to be nominated as the
candidate for the Office OF sheriff. according to the old and
well kRown usages OF the democratic party The vote
given for my name on the first ballot that evening
twenty seven and it increased gradually until the
eleventh ballot when the ellers declared the following
result namely orty-two for Westervelt, forty for At
wood, two for Emmans, and one for Osgood The one
vote on that ballot for Mr. Osgood, was given by Mr.
Cornelius Lane, and intended for me. 1t was hand
ed in purely by misake and hen the result was de-
cared the TACT was SO stated by Mr. Lane. The expla
nation made by him at the time was that be had provided
himself with tickets with the name Of Mr. Osgood written
upon them, which he intended to for that gentleman
on subsequent ballot for the county clerk, and that
accidentally he used Of them upon the above ballot
