Judge Clerke, being Democrat. will of
course be nominated at Tammany Hall, and we
presume at Mozart also. At any rate, his re-
election is o fixed fact. So, Of course, IS that
of Judge Brady. So, we think, is that Of
Judge Woodruff, because Of his strength and
popularity with the Bar, though it is possible
that one or two opposing candidates may be
set up on party grounds. Judge Hoiimans
success is by no means 80 sure; and, 1t the
Taxpayers nomination Of Mr. Barbour should
be seconded by both Tammany and Mozart
Halls, it will probably prevail.
Mr.. Hiram Ketcbum was very improperly
termed Republican in our columns recently
He is no Republican, and never pretended to
be, but supported as Bel!-Everett Unionist
the Fusion Electoral ticket last Fall. He is,
however, o good lawyer aud upright citizen,
whom the Republican Convention would have
done itself honor in nominating. His election
will add dignity and character to the bench of
that Court. and we trust it will be effected. 1t
the Democrats, whom be aided last Fall, will
place him on their tickets, hs will be chosen
by an Overwhelming majority.
We think the Republican Convention acted
most injudiciously in presenting William X.
Stewart as a candidate for Sheriff. The pro-
posal of q union of oil parties in support of
the Government and the Union emanated from
the Republican State Committee, and has been
very heartily responded to by the People IRE.
spectivs of party. The resulting State Ticket
even as made up by the purely Republican
State Convention, comedies the Secretary Of
State, the District attorney, and the Prison
Inspector, to the Democrats, while the State
Treasurer was the fayOrite Of the Bell.Eyerett
Unionists. In other words, IN tie State, which
is decidedly Republican, we cOncede full half
Of the ticket to our antagonists of last year
who now agree with US in uphblding the Gov
eminent aud vigorously prosecuting the War
fox the Union. Now if il is wise and just
to prefer this in the State, which is clearly
Republican, how can we do leSs in the
City, which is Overwhelmingly Democratic
To present a ticket on which the Sheriii,
Clerk, and District-AttOrney, are all Repubi-
cans, "a in any sense Union ticket, Ia absurd.
And, as Mr.. Brown has been presented TO and
accepted by the Peoples Union Convention,
we think the Republican Convention should
have indorsed hin. We do not know him per-
sonally, but be is well known and well spoken
OF, and seems to have been the decided choice
Of those Democrats who gave an early and
hearty assent 10 the Union movement Had
br. Vulte been in like manner presented, we
should have urged his acceptance; but at all
events, if the Republicans are to have the
Clerk, as seems TO be conceded, they should
agree to take UriOn Democrat for Sheriff.,
and should do il not grudgngy but promptly,
heartily II is no compliment and no adyan-
tage to Mr. Stewart or any other man to run
him on a straight Republican ticket with the
Peoples Union nomination against him; while
such run endangers the success OF good men
who might otherwise be elected We trust,
therefore. that the running Of Mr.. Stewart
will not DO persisted in.
As TO County Clerk, Mr.. UoXie on the Re.
publican and Mr.. Bangs on the Peoples Union
ticket are both eminenty capable and worthy.
We shall support either Of them with great
heartiness, but cannot well support them both.
We trust one of them will be withdrawn, and
the support of Republicans and Union men con
centratcd on the other.
AS to District Attorney, we trust there may
be concentration of strength on Richard
OGorman, the nominee of the Peoples Union.
IL is now some twelve years since Richard
O'Gorman came 10 this country q political fu-
gitiye, and he has given those years to the
quiet and diligent pursuit Of his profession. III
he has ever taken any public part in our poll.
tics we cannot recollect the circumstance, nor
do we know to which side he has given his
voice and vote as a private citizen. We do
know. however, that his circle of devoted
friends has wdened with each year Of his so
iourn among us, and that scarcely another man
of his years is so generally esteemed and adj
mired in society and at the bar. If we are to
have new order Of things in the District
Attorneys ofiice-and nowhere is it more need.
ed-Richard O'Gorman is the man to inaugu.
rate II lie will have no party 10 serve there,
