THE SYRACUSE TICKET.

Tho authorizations with which we greeteu tne
.opening of the Liberal and Democratic Con-
ventions at Syracuse have been completely
fulfilled. There has been no wrangling for
Mace. no fighting over distribution OF spoils.
There WIS 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 sagaelty
and fairness which presided over its compost
ton. The Democrats have the prepondeIance,
as is proper, in view of their numbers, ana
vet the Liberals have generous representa-
ton, in accordance with their weight and in
Auence in the State. 1t is ticket which
appeals to the best sentiment and conscience
of the people. 1t is irreprOachable in details
and strong as a whole. 1t is ticket made TO
win.
The candidate for Governor, the Hon. Fran
els Herman, is well known in the State Ills
signal ability and elevation of character COM
pei 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 associations,
all indicate for him successful and honorable
career as Chief Executive of our State. lie
will 90 into office under no obligations to any
unworthy OF suspicious persons or comDlna-
| tons OF the other candidates upon the
ticket the same things may be said. MI
Depew is q prominent and hOnOred member
of the Republican party of the State, and Mr..
| Cox has established by his brilliant and merl-
| torious service as Congressman from this
city his right to represent the entire Common
wealth in the same place
oonfoSt for tha nomination WAS a loyal
and spirited one, such as leaves no sting be-
hind. Leut-Gov. Beach, who has done the
State such excellent service in his present po-
sition, was a formidable competitor for the
higher. Mr.. Schell was also strongly pressed
by many friends But q greater number OF
| interests seemed to cOaesce in Mr.. Herman,
and he was nominated finally by a unanimous
vote. Had Judge Church not positively
declined several weeks ago, he would
certainly have been made the standard
bearer. But his repugnance was earnest
and thoroughly ineligible. He holds
highly honorable and responsible
position on the Bench for twelve years to
come, to which he was elected by majority
which testified the public confidence in his
integrity and ability. If the success of the
ticket had depended upon his candidacy, he
might have felt called upon to make the
necessary sacrifice. But the ticket is perfectly
safe with Mr.. Herman, and the Bench is not
compelled to lose its admirable Chief
Justice. Both Mr.. Herman and Mr.. Depew
are recognized as men of preemlnent
ability and of thorough familiarity with
the interests and finances of the State. Each
is in the mature prime of life and in the per-
lection of his mental powers. One was DEM
ocrat, the other a Republican, in days bygone,
and each has always commanded the fullest
confidence of his party. If they do not con-
stitute strong ticket, then the State did not
afford the raw material for making one.
Their candidacy and administration will be
alike brilliantly successful.
