WILLIAM H. SEwARD-The Utica IN. W
Herald probably expresses the sentiment of a
very large majority of the Republican party
of New York, in its judgment of candidates,
and its criticism Of the policy of the Tribune.
1t says =
Give us representative man. Give us
one whose whole soul is absorbed in the cause
Give us one whose fidelity is unsupported, and
whose title to our confidence has been made
good by long service. Let us have one whose
name will ring out like clarion over the SER
ried ranks Of treemen. Let us have one,
whom to follow will be mission of love, who
binds us to him by the magnetic cords OF SYM
pathy. IT. fighting under such leader, we
fall, defeat will be honorable; if, on the con-
trary, we achieve success-what a victory
Upon such representative man the popular
eye instinctivey turns. He cannot be mstak-
en-. High above all others he stands out the
bright embodiment of the Republican iaith
Around him all true treemen can rally in his
fidelity to duty all can confide. The Chicago
Convention will do well to pause before it dis
misses the claims of WILLIAM Ii. SEWARD.

eign effect of the blind ballot. No informed
ding of interested or designing politicians can
affect him, or change his destiny. On the
opening of that ballot he stands forth, as if re-
vealed by the Providence of God, the Chief
Magistrate of great nation, with title undis-
puted and indisputable for the the term--un-
scathed by the degradation of a party contest
for the Office; untrammeled by obligations,
express or implied, inevitably incurred in such
contest and uninhuenced by the insidious
hopes of a second term" The scheme here
outlined is one of the many chimeras which
will have to enter into mems thoughts and
counsels before the old method which is based
on faith in popular rights and republican
ideas, and rooted and established in our pohty
and customs, is overthrow; and our faith IN
the speedv coming of that time is not lively

was forced in and the root carried off. At
the time service was being held, the congre-
CATION numbering between three and four hun
dred. Fifteen persons were injured, four hav-

the circumstances under which the disaster
occurred.

WE are embarked in a contest in behalf of
principles, and naturally cannot agree with
those who are aiming merely at the elevation
of some personal favorite to office.-Ne,c York
Tribune.
There are two things in this sentence which
will provoke the criticism of every earnest re-
publican that reads it. The first is the re-
markable GOODNESS with which the Tribune
calls its compromise policy principle No! it
is not principle! 1t is plausible betrayer of
principle The second thing is the insulting
injustice with which honest regard for princi-
pie is described as "aiming at the elevation
of some personal favorite."

o. S. FowLER's LECTURES are attracting
large audiences at Washburn Hall. The por.
ton of the lecture which excites the liveliest
interest is his custom Of selecting two persons
well known to the audience, and giving them
a public examination, as a practical test of
phrenology. The audience last night selected
Hon Charles White and Mr.. Caleb A. Wall to
undergo the ideal, and they gracefully submit
ted to the will of the majority, and mounted
the platform. Professor Fowler found the
bump of firmness on Mr.. Whites head, and
awarded him great superiority in other re-
spects. His examination throughout seemed
to meet with general concurrence. But was
not the Professor somewhat at fault in regard
to the other candidate Tonight the interest
ing subject of Love, its laws, and its power
over man, will be considered.

lNsURANoE.-The fifth annual report of the
Insurance Commissioners, (Messrs. Elzur
Wright and Geo. w Sargent, has been pub
lished and laid before the Legislature. 1t
shows very fully the condition of all compa-
MES doing business in this state, their sound
ness, capabilities and facilities. The annual
statistics of the insurance business of this
state show how strongly the system is planted
here, and with what favor safe insurance is
received by our people. One would suppose
that there were offices located in this state to
transact all necessary business, but from this we
learn that there are GO foreign fire and life in.
surance companies who act in this state, and
have insured property and lives to the amount
of SAT, 1885, 1862 IA, and received premiums on
that sum to the amount of $893071 rs. The

insured 1884, 534, BAT %, the premiums on
which amount to $5,893, $40 8S, showing the
rate on all classes of risks to average about
1.54 per cent.
The insurance offices in this city are shown
to be in fourishing condition, and sound in
all respects, Notwithstanding the heavy losses
some Of them have sustained. The offices
