HE WOULD gr a mpnu.

Mt the meeting of "Ths Syracuse People's
" Union Convention" held at ths Cooper In
stitute, last Friday evening, Mr. MARCRLLuS
EELLs, a representative from tho rural and
refined region of Washington flights, stated
that it was important that they should obtain
all the support they could, az the Twenty.
third.Street Convention had enlisted most Of
the prominent men Of the city, and added that
He had during the day converted with br BENEFIT Of
The Herald and had been instructed by him to pot forth
name OF ABRAHAM D. Russell as one OF the candidates
Judge of the Superior Court He cersinly hoped that
Committee would act upon MI kssses name as 81 20 doing
Several Voices Don't see IT, 'Gss1 Sit down
Mr. Es ,Pot9 at ger SSIn the g. .S;
JaaSs ss: c o n So ts ase 4 Sts
net can't be trusted &C."
And so the Hon. Abraham d. Russell, WHOSE
have, according to The Herald, been uDparsl,
leled since the days of Aristides the just, did
not get the nomination. Indeed, not to put
too fine a point upon it, though he was backed
up by that powerful organ Of enlightened publie
opinion, represented on this occasion BY tia
elegant and graceful Eells, he was unceremo.
niously kicked out of the Convention.
The truth is that The Herald, in its efforts
to make something of its pet, has been engaged
in hopeless undertaking. He was offered to
Mozart Hall; but even that not over fastidioas
concern cOald not venture upon carrying such
q load. He has been hawked about here and
there in other political market places, but no.
body would take him at any price. NeVerthe-
less, Ehe was bent on obtaining nomination
in some way, and as he could not prevail
upon any of the hundred-and.one existing or.
CARNATIONS to take him in tow, the exeedient
of creating party expressly for himieH with
a Convention, delegates, and all the machinery
complete was adopted. After due elaboration
in the editorial sanctum, and no little consuta-
ton in the select circle at Washington flights,
it was decided that be would lower his ambi-
ton peg; instead of aspiring to the bench OF
the Superior Court, he would accept hum
bier place, and "ma paper" yesterday op-
peared with the following announcement:
At meeting Of three comprising the majority efths
Special Con uttee Conference OF the different legal
camille mechanical and lborng oPPO,sd 70 tae
dates resolved hst the following gentlemen whoae ab
W and n.esY are PP0yed 90 % 70 es sSs Ss
the public with the following which It's appear
snce on the political stage, this season.
Justice Of Marine Court.
ABRAHAM ID. RUSSELL
The expedient is worthy Of the genius
which invented it. We could have wished that
the composition. of "the Special Committee Of
" Conference" had been more explicitly set
forth. But let that pass. For the delicate
manner in which the platform touches upon
&" the trading off Of candidates, the "FOrS-
{" three" deserve great credit. It could nos
have been more Handsomely put. Yet at tAs
risk of being considered obtrusiTe, we would
suggest that as any political organization which
would adopt Mr.. Russel would probably bo
too Obtuse to see the point OF the joke, whether
it would not be more in accordance with tho
fact, and better facilitate the object in view, to
state plainly that the Hon. A. u. r. is in tho
market, and whoever will take hin up may be
assured of the eOuntenance and support of The
Ne,r- York Herald.
