THE RESULTS or THE REGATTA.

Yesterday the umpire officially reversed his
decision rendered Thursday evening regarding
the double scull shell contest. At that time he
decided that the race should be rowed over last
evening by all the contestants owing to the foul
between the Hopes and st. John crews. Find
ing his decision an erroneous one. he an
nouneed yesterday that the Perseverance crew
were entitled to first place and that the other
clubs were not placed. but could row for posi-
tlons In order to settle bets that had been made.
The ut. John crew refused to row under the lat
ter decision, In consequence OF which all bets
are necessarily declared off.
Article Is in the rules laid down for the guild
ance OF contestants In the regatta sets forth:
In case OF foul the umpire shall have the
power-A. To place the boats, except the boat

the boats Engaged In The race. other than the
boats committing the foul, to row over again
ON the same or another day. G. To restart the
qualified boats from the place where the foul
was committed.
Under the provisions Of this article the UNI
plre could not do otherwise than place the Per-

decide the foul being OF such nature that no
conclusion could be arrived at as tn which club
was in the wrong. 1t would have been unnec-

Democratic Nominations.

Only very short time will elapse before
the democratic ticket in this county Will
have been selected and placed before the
people. The essential thing in regard to
such ticket is tEat it shall be composed or
reliable men, fully in accord with the or
ganization of the party, and such as not
only will have the confidence of democrats
but will at least command the respect OF
voters generally. 1t is not merely sutfl-
cient that a candidates record, as the phrase
is, should be unimpeachable but his per
sonal fitness and abilities should also be
admitted as requisite for the office. A
full and uurestrained expression OF choice
should characterize the selection of nom
inees There is probably but little danger
at this time of any coercion being attempt
ed 10 behalf Of any particular individual
but there should be none at any
time. The free and open choice OI
uuinstructed delegations coming dlrec
from their several constituencies anC
knowing full we'll the feelings and sentl
meuts which they have been selected Il
represent, if left to proper dehberatior
and uutrammelled action, will almost in
variaby result in a ticket which is &C
ceptable to all, and likely to receive cor
dial and earnest support. That is wha
THE ARGUS honestly desires. The actio
of the people themselves. their full pal
ticipation in the choice of candidates, an
then their hearty support OF their ow
work. 4 ticket emanating from the pee
pie themselves, as distinctive act of the
own, and not gotten up at the dictation
politicians or through their manipulation
is such ticket as ought to command r
spect and deserve success-it becomes
this way the act and the choice Of tt
voters whose suffrages are depended uDo
to insure its election-it is the true dem
cratic way of doing things.
