THE CONTRAST.


The Baltimore Convention, in present.

Democratic candidate for the Presidency,
has given US a man whose unsullled char
acier and consistent and s,alesman:like
course as politician contrasts beautifully
with that Of bis opponent: Mans judg-

pylng a prominent position, he bad no pri.
vate interests 10 subserve-nor deep:iaid
schemes for his own advancement 10

directed to iEe good Of the country alone:
