Fatal Balloon Ascension-The Aero
naut Killed.

New YoRK, May 1l.-Mr. Connor was adj
vertised to make second balloon ascension,
yesterday, from the Palace Gardens. Despite
the violent gusts of wind which now and then
sprung mp, and the remonstrances Of his
friends, he persisted in attempting the ascen-
sion, but no sooner had the balloon left the
ground than it. was dashed with great force
against the concert saloon, which faces the
garden.-fhs basket caught for q moment
under the projecting caves of the building,
and then was hurled against sky light with
great force. The balloon instantly collapsed.
Mr.. Connor was found on the roof Of the
building, and the physicians who were imme-
diately summoned, ascertained that his inju-
ries were principally internal. During the
evening he remained insensible, and expired
at IL P. M. His wife witnessed the casualty,
and would probably have shared her hus-
bands fate, had the ascending power Of the
balloon been found sufficient to carry. up two
persons. 1t was her intention to attempt 9
voyage. ,.,.-,,,-..SE ivst5(9 s,fX

~ The Republicans have generally
been taken aback by the nomination of
Lincoln. They hoped that the Conven-
ton would have confidence enough in the
strength of their party to nominate q man
we'll known and identified with their prin.
ciples. They little expected such cor
fession of the weakness of their party as
the nomination of Lincoln, instead of q
prominent leader of their party. They
have determined notwithstanding to ex.
hibit some enthusiasm, and in many cities
have fred guns in honor of the nomina.
tion.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The Republican Nomination for Presi-
..4f ttt7s dent.

Abraham Lincoln, the Republican nom.
inee for President, was born in the coun.
ty of Hardin, Kentucky, February IL,
1909. He adopted the profession of the
Law. During the Black Hawk War he
volunteered his services as Captain Of
volunteers. He commenced his political
life by an entrance into the Illinois Leg
islature as q Wing. He wasjre-elected to
that body, and served four years. He was
chosen to the House of Representatives,
in 1916, and served during the Mexican
War, which measure be strongly opposed.
7v In 1858 he was designated the Repub-
licaa candidate for the United States Sen !,
ate, in opposition to Senator Douglas.
This selection, and the campaign which
followed, frst gave him national reputa-
tion.a The result of it is we'll known.
Although the whole Opposition, Ameri>
cans as well as Republicans, concentrated
upon him, which parties united had rs. 900
majority over the Democrats at the pre-
ceding election 10 1856 Mr.. Douglas
beat him for the Senate, carrying eight
majority in the Legislature, on joint bal
lot. Mr.. Liacoln's own county, (Sanga.
mon,) which had always been Wing and
American. returned Douglas members
of the Legislature. Mr.. Douglas won
this great victory, which will ever be re-
membered. in the political history of the
country over the united Opposition of
Illinois and the friends of the Admins
tration combined. The latter ran third
ticket, with the design of assisting Lin
coin, and gave it s. 200 votes. Owing to
this division, the. Democratic State ticket
was defeated, but Mr.. Douglas triumphed.
The Republicans have sometimes claimed
that Lincoln beat Douglas on the popu-
lar vote, by citing this result on the State
ticket, which was no test, Douglas being
many thousand votes stronger than any
other Democrat in Illinois. ra sstJEss
In the debates which ensued between
Douglas and Lincoln on the stump, no
man was ever SO badly beaten in argument
and literally annihilated as Mr. Lincoln.
He was as nothing in the hands of his
great antagonist. This was admitted by
the more liberal Opposition themselves be-
fore the campaign was ended. He has
had many enthusiastic friends since who
have sympathized With him on account oi

the terrible drubbing which he received
from the little Giant. The causes
which produced the nomination of Mr..
Lincoln were mainly these:
!. The convention being at Chicago he
got a terrible outside pressure in his fa.
vor.
3. It was deemed importan. to run a
western man against Senator Douglas,
and the OPPOSITION to Seward could more
readily combine on Lincoln than any 9TH
er man. His selection will lead to rep
etition of the contest of 858, upon the
national arena, where we have no doubt
Senator Douglas will beat him worse
than he did in Illinois. He enters the
field with the prestige of q beaten man as
against Senator Douglas. The nomina-
tien of the latter is now rendered cer-
tainty, if there had been any doubt of it
before. 1t would be uncandid to deny
that Nj. Lincoln is man of fair ability
add that against any other man than
Senatar Douglas, that he possesses ele.
ments Of strength which would be formi-
dable in campaign. He is extremely
ultra in his political views, being full as
radical as Mr.. Seward. He enunciated
the 'irrepressible conflict" doctrine be.
tween the North and the South, at the
opening of the campaign in Illinois, sew.
eral months before the same ground
was taken by Seward in his Rochester
speech.

Heenan Don't Get the BELT.

The Britishers, it appears, are deter
mined that the champion's belt shall never
como 10 this country. They will under
no circumstances permit the light TO be
finished, or new match to be made with
Sayers. The Home Secretary, Mr.. Lewis,
has taken the matter in hand and is de-
termined at all hazards to prevent another
contest between these parties.
How humiliating it must be to the
English after boasting so much about
fair play and may the best man VIM
after the violent indignation with which
they denounced every one who limited at
.foul," to rob Heenan of the belt by .
mob, aud then for the Government itself
to interfere to save it.
When HeenaR went to that country,
they thought the conqueror of all the best
men in England had an easy job before
him-that Heenan was big, awkward
slab.sided Yankee whom o second rate
English pagilist could eat up, and that
Sayers would knock him to jelly in twen-
ty minutes. Since the fight, says the COR
respondent of the Evening Post, 'You
would think that Heenan had been Cor
nish giant come to devastate the land,
and that Sayers was new Jack.the. .Gi,
ant. killer, who deserved Infinite glory for
not being spitted broiled and eaten. {"
Large sums Of money are being presented
to Sayers in token of his gallantry.
In New York $1,000 was raised for
Heenan in one week, the subscription lis:
being headed by many of the solid men
of that city. It is believed the amount
will be increased to $40, 600, portion ol
which will go to purchase a valuable belt
for "the Champion of the World" o.
One good effect of this termination o
the fight is, that it has brought pugilisn
into much greater disrepnte, and will de.
prive it of the encouragement it has here
tofore received from respectable sources

nation. For example: suppose the basis
fixed should be the vote for Governor in
1859. Monroe county then. cast 1885
votes. Does any man believe that Mon
roe will not cast larger vote this fall1
or does any man believe that If she casts
no larger vote, that the Democratic can
didate can be elected2 IF the votes of
'59 is taken as the basis, one of these two
conclusions is inevitable; either that the
convention deliberately disfranchises
large number of Democrats; or they must
assume that the vote of '5s is the test of
the Democratic strength of the district.
If the former they do palpable ipius-
tice, adding insult to injury. If the vote
of 80 be regarded as the strength Of the
party, the convention will be compelled
to assume, at the same time, that their
rominee will be beaten: for it is folly to
suppose that the opposition vote this year
will not be greater than the Democratic
vote of last year. aeH afa
/ It is true that the vote for Governor
at the preceding election, as basis, has

who have any Judgment of their own, unless
the precedent be good one, and the test
in this case is simply this: is the vote of
1859 az fair test of the Democratic
