IoI L , did 80 much to uphold the bands OF
these champions of reform as Francis heT-
nan. The only serious objection when mas
nj apy time been urged against MIR. kelnaf',
and, indeed, the only thing which led to the
general belief that Mr.. Church would be
better candidate than Mr.. Herman, was
the fact that Mr.. Herman Is wen
known as severe and earnest member
of the Roman Catholic Church. NO man
has presumed to make an opinion test, D''t
there have been many to express lear tnat
Mr.. kernan's membership in the Cathoilc
Church might be taken In his present. posi-,
ton as threat against the common SchooI
system. None. however, will consider IL so
who remember that Mr.. Herman, us menu
Der of the Constitutional Convention, lnlro'
duced an article absolutely forbidding all ai'
propriations of public funds for the support
of sccturian schools. Mr.. Herman, lndeea'
has gone further than this. In his natlIe
town he has so far departed from whaI II
popularlv regarded as the Catholic RUE as 10
insist that each member of his family OF cIli-
dren should duly enter the common SCHOOLS
Of the CITY Of Utica and pass through the VII
rio,,s grades. All his children have tntls
been educated at the common schools, ahu
have passed by regular steps through eacii Vi
their grades until they reached the Tree
academy. These facts are perlccti! wen
known through Central New YORK. " hel-
ever they are known no Protestant dreams W
an objection to Francis Herman on account
of hi, conscientious religious faith. AHulDcr
and very general comment upon MI. hcr-
mans nomination is that if there ever mao
been any substance whatever i'll the y Bflen

The New York World makes the following
editorial comments upon the State ticket
pubicsins at Syracuse
"The State ticket is of such conspicuous
excellence, and the leading names OF it are
so we'll known, that Il very few words will
suffice to indicate its merits"
The Tribune says:
"The anticipations with which we greeted
the opening of the Liberal and Democratic
Conventions at Syracuse have been COM
pletely fulfilled. There has been no wrang-
ling for place, no fighting over distribution of
spoils. There was perfect harmony between
the two conventions, and the ticket which
they have presented to the people of the
State for their approval is the best evidence
of the saSacity and fairness which presided
over its composition. The Democrats have
the preponderance, as is proper, in view OF
their numbers, and yet the Liberals have Il
generous representation, III accordance with
their weight and influence in the State.
at is ticket which appeals to the best
sentiment and conscience of the people. 1t
is irreproachable in details, and strong rs a
whole. 1t is a ticket made to win. The
candidate for Governor, the Hon. Francis
Herman, is well known in the State. His
signal ability and elevation Of character COM
pel universal respect, and his labors in the
cause of reform have established the strong
est claims upon the gratitude of the public.
His antecedents, his tendencies, his associa-
tons, all indicate for him successful and
honorable career as Chief Executive Of our
State. He will go into Office under no obi
cations to any unworthy or suspicious per-
sous or combinations. OF the other candi-
dates upon the ticket the something's may be
said. Mr.. Depew is prominent and hon.
ored member of the Republican party of the
State, and MIR. Cox has established by his
brilliant and meritoriO,ls service rs congress
