somewhat confused by personal Oonsidera-
tons.
In so close contest the small body Of
voters who look only to personal qualidca-
tions may possibly control the result, and
this class of voters will be likely to prefer
Judge Loew to Mr. Hess. They have no
reason to doubt that Mr.. Hess is an honora-
BILE and worthy man, but they do not per-
ceive that his pursuits and training have
fitted him to discharge the duties of the
office for which he is running. Mr.. Hess
is merely q successful business man in
Washington Market, whereas his COMPETE
tor is O man whose education as O lawyer
and his experience as judge in one OF
our most important courts have made
official duties as he will have to per-
form if he should be elected Register. His
standing in this community and his tried
ability and integrity in position Of high
public trust are grounds of confidence with
citizens whose party predictions are not
very strong. AS mere question Of personal
fitness we suppose there could be little hest
tation in deciding between the qualifications
Of these two gentlemen. Whether the dis
like of Tammany may be widely enough
difused to override the question of personal
fitness remains to be seen. Mr.. Hess has
not been selected for his qualifications SO
much as because his German birth is ex-
pected to recommend him to citizens Of that
nationality. But Judge Loew is also
of German descent, and his rival
has no great advantage of him in
this respect. 1t may be doubted
whether a wholesale capture Of German
votes can be made by republican coalition
in the present state of the liquor question.
Our German citizens are practically unani-
nous in their detestation of prohibition
laws, and since the decision Of the Court Of
Appeals, few months since, it has become
matter of urgency to secure q fair and lib
eral license law. Such law can be expected
only from the democratic party, and while
the liquor law remains in its present unsat-
isfactory state the hope of divorcing the
whole German vote from the democrats
seems little sanguine if not chimericaL

politically has declined They did an immense
business in blockade running, but now their

Tho seventh Senatorial District.

The brunt of the battle in this great con-
fict between Tammany and anti-Tammany
happens to fall in the Seventh Senatorial
district Mr.. Morrissey, whose indomitable
pluck deserves recognition, decided, after
the door of the Albany Convention was
slammed in his face, to beard John Kelly
in his own district, and declining
nomination in the Fourth, which he
could easily have carried, he sought
and obtained one in the Seventh, thus
carrying the war into Africa, like Scipio
Of old. Whether, like the renowned Scipio
Africanus, he is to achieve success COM
mensurate with his courage, will remain
doubtful point until the votes shall have
been counted tomorrow night but in any
event the gallantry and vigor which TRIMS
ferred the war into the enemy's territory
will always be brilliant feather in Mr.. Nor
rissey's political cap.
At the time he made that courageous de-
cision he did not know against whom he
would have to run. Before Tammany ap-
preciated the truly formidable strength Of
its antagonist in that district it put up
stock candidate, whom it afterward COM
PEELED to withdraw. 1t had great difficulty
in finding substitute willing to take the
field against the defiant prowess Of
Morrissey. The nomination was Of
fered in succession to some half
dozen prominent gentlemen, who did
not think the chances of success justified
them in accepting it. and in this crisis Mr..
Schell was prevailed upon to put himself in
''the deadly and imminent breach" Mr..
Schell cares nothing for the Senatorship !;
it is on Office which he would not think Of
accepting under any ordinary circumstances.
If he had been certain Of an election by
unanimous vote of the district
he would have respectfully but decidedly
refused the use of his name. With his
business relations and engagements he can
ill afford to give two long winters to his
party in Albany But Tammany can as
in Mr.. Kelly's own district. In point Of
chivalry Mr.. Schell and Mr.. Morrissey stand
on an equally honorable footing. The
friends Of each are doing their level
best, and as things look to-day
there is prepondennce of chances
in favor of Mr.. Schell. But the
beaten candidate, whichever he may be,
will have the credit of public spirit and
callantry. If it should be Mr.. Morrissey,
he will also deserve the credit of having
treated his antagonist with generous cour-
tesy, for he has made no personal attack on
NJ Schal1 and hoc raSted his opnoeitinn
solely on the ground that Mr.. Schell is q
representative of detested Tammany and
an ally Of John Kelly. Mr.. Morrissey,
though beaten, will be gamer by his gal
liant and manly contest. Having turned
his republican defamers into eulogists he
can retire from politics for season, if such
should be the fortune of the battle, with a
larger measure Of respect than he has ever
before enjoyed in this community.

A Great Day for the American Turf


The races at Jerome Park tomorrow, in
Guiding the meeting of the monarchs Of the
turf, Parole and Ten Brock, will divide the
public interest with the race between the
candidates for Office, and, with fair weather,
will no doubt attract one Of the largest
crowds ever gathered at that popular track.
It was predicted at the Baltimore races last
week that the election, which was held on
one of the days of the meeting, would inter
fere with the attendance, but there were
more people at the track on that day than
on either Of the others. No political excite
ment will prevent any person who can pos
sibly get out to Jerome Park tomorrow
from witnessing one of the most interesting
contests that has ever occurred there since
the first race was started. Indeed, to judge
from the number of people who visited the
grounds yesterday to see the horses now
preparing for the different events Of the
day, and to hear the gossip as to chances
Of the various stables, one would suppose
that greater interest is felt in the Parole
and Ten Brock race than in the Senatorial
race in the Seventh district The betting
on the quadrupeds is fully as heavy rs on
the bipeds, and no doubt thousands will
''take in" both events by voting early and
witnessing the start and finish at Jerome
Park in the afternoon, the time for the
great race being fixed at half-past three.
1t is gratifying to learn that the horses are
all in good condition and fully recovered
from the fatigue of their work at Baltimore
Fast running may therefore be anticipated.
as excellent fields arc already assured,
although the entries for the mile and q
quarter, the mile and q half and the steeple-
chase do not close until this afternoon.
To-morrows meeting is one Of those exhibi-
tions of spirit and enterprise which give
character, tone and interest to the turf, and
the preparations made for the accommoda-
ton of multitude of people within the
grounds will not be labor thrown away.

HE SERMONS yesterday covered q wide relig.

which he declared to be the most universal on

the utmost confidence in his own infaliblity that
the Catholic and the Protestant churches are

other is rapidly following it. If they would only
take his advice they would become the greatest

THE WEATnER.-1he recent cyclonic storm,
which developed its highest energy when cast
ward of the Mississippi River. arose from condi-
tons which originated to the westward Of this
continent. These were modified considerably
while influenced BY the topography Of the Rocky
Mountain regions, but, nevertheless, presented
marked continuity throughout the transcon-
tnental movement. Similar conditions now
combine to produce similar result, and we find
another disturbance advancing into the Missis
sippi Valley from the same district whence the
recent storm camc-namcly, the region between
the thirty-iifth and forty-ffth parallels east Of
the mountains. These deprcssions develop into
storms when they occur in deep curya.ures of
the zone Of high pressure 1t invariably hap
pens that they increase in energy when the
isobars of mean pressure before and behind the
depression north and south, as was the case
when the late storm entered the Mississippi
Valley rs ali elongated baromctric trough
When, however, the of pressure below
tho mean increases by reason of what may
DC termed the Strengthening out Of the
zone of high pressure from east to west, the
energy Of the storm dimnishes in proportion.
The storm now approaching will probably enter
the lower lake region from the Ohio Valley and
pass northcastward through the St. Lawrence
Valley, but it is possible that its energy
will diminish as it approaches the Atlantic.
Rain and snow precedo the disturbance
from Manitoba to the Gulf, tho temperature
also rising in front of the storm and falling
rapidly behind it. The weather In New York
and its vicinity today will be warmer and partly
cloudy or fair, followed by increasing cloudiness
and rain. The weather here on election day
will probably be rainy.

The HARD TIMES seem to have stimulating
rficct on our inventors. During October the re-
