The decease of several Europeans whose
regulations have crossed the ocean, is an
nounced by the last foreign arrival. Field
Marshal Sir Alexander Woodford was the
third senior officer of the English army. He
was born in 1882, and was colonel and com.
manded battalion at Waterloo, and was dec
GRATED by Russia and Austria for bravery on
that field. The Marquis of Hertford, fourth of
the name and son of the most wild and eccen-
trio noblemen of the last generation, died o
week or more since, in Paris at the age of sew
enty.
He was in early life captain the army, then
four years in Parliament. All his life he was
passionately fond of art and began a collection
which is famous all over the world. Rev. DR.
James Craik, one of the oldest, ablest and most
highly esteemed clergyman of the Church of
Scotland, died lately. He was very active
friend of education aud had reached the high
est honor attainable in the church, by being
chosen Moderator of the General Assembly.

We incline to the belief that such a result is

The present Democratic strength in the

must come from New York, Pennsylvania,

1T is safe to say that no nomination by
dominant party is ever perfectly satisfactory
to all its members. But men belonging 10
the party from principle, vote for the regulsr
nominees, If they are suitable men, notwth-
standing they might have preferred some 9th
er candidate. And why do men thus susta n
regular nominations? Simply because doir
otherwise would destroy the integrity of I'll
party and render it impossible to elect any
candidate to any Office whatever. To illus
'ra'e the matter, let us suppose that this year
'he friends OF A. are successful in securing his
nomination Tor an Office which it is admitted
he is competent TO fill. B. and his friends.
disappointed at the result, Immediately throw
up the sponge, and either work to secure AS
defeat or else do nothing, and by reason of
doing nothing bring about the same result.
Next year or the year after it may happen
that u. gets nomination and calls upon oil
his party friends to rally and support him.
Being candidate he looks at things very diff
ferertly from wha. he did when A. was cam
didate. Then he concluded to let A. elect
himself, and to let things slide. Now that
he is candidate it seems matter of supreme
Importance that everybody should come TO

to denounce all who are Indifferent or factious.
as boilers and inimical to the success of tie
cause.
But A. and his friends cannot forget the
coolaess or hostility of B. and his friends
when A. was candidate. They still cherish
the remembrance of their defeat and nurse
their wrath to keep it warm. The conse-
quence is that when election day comes B.
meets with the fate of A. and drinks the Bit
ter waters OF defeat. OF course the ill.ieeling
and strife does not end here but increases and
mutlpiles until the efficiency of the olganiza-
tlo1 is hopelessly destroyed.
Nor is the force OF this illustration impaired
even though the dsafiection does not result
in defeat, but simply in reducing majorities.
The effect upon the rival factions and upon
the party is about the same. The morale of
the party is destroyed, its discipline is weak
ened and its power TO accomplish good seri-
ously impaired.

theology. There he is perfectly at home
He knows all about the different scots from

no idea which of them he belongs to--per-
haps he is too good for any, or not quite
good enough and belongs TO none. With
music and the stage, he is quite familiar,
and has pious knowledge Of all the great
singers and actresses. He has evidently
seen great deal Of "hgh life below
