The Democratic Nominations.

The Democratic National Convention
assembled last Tuesday. and remained
in session until Saturday evening, before
cfIecting nominations for President and
Vice President. The result was-as
we have before intimated was not I'M
probable repetition of the man@u-
vre of 1874, with a still more eccentric
nomination. James X. Polk was man
known to the country, as Speaker of the
House of Representatives, and for years
q prominent member of that body; he
had filled the highest Office in his own
State crcditably, and he was personal
friend and favoritc of Gen. Jackson.
His nomination to the Presidency took
the country by surprise, it is true and
he was most assuredly not the man for
such high position What, then, shall
we say of Frank Pierce
AS man, in his proper position, we
dou5. not G N Pierce is deserving the
esteem and confidence of those about
him We suppose him to be man of
fair talents As a New Hampshire pol
itician, he has probably "A good under
standing of party tactics But as q
statesman. he has no rank whatever. and
as a Soitlicr, we dare say his friends will
be careful to make no great claims for
him. The most memorable circum-
stance of his campaign in Mexico, that
we recollcct. was the sudden fdiiHNcsS
that compelled him to retire from the
field of battle-though his subsequent
military career, we believe, was not dis
credit able.
Gen Pierce served a short time in the
lower branch of Congress, some years
ago, from 1888 to 1879 and III the
Senate part of one term He failed to
distinguish himself in either house, and
resigned his seat in the Senate in 1912.
Since that time he has not been in po-
litical life lie is about AZ years of
age.
Mr. King. who is nominated for the
Vice Presidency, is an ULTRA Southern
State Rights Democrat-but acquiesccs
in the compromise measures. He is the
present presiding officer in the Senate,
aud a man who is personally very much
respected He is much worthier of the
first place on the ticket. than Gen Pierce
This ticket will be likely to receive
the united and earnest support of all
sections of the Dcmocracy-from the
Banburncrs of New York, to the State
Rights Secessionists of South Carolina.

endorsement of the compromise meas
