Tn. New Cour,n.y-Hanlan Mate

The New C0urtney.Hanl Match.
The race between Courtney and Hanlan,
which was to have been rowed on Owasco
Lake October for two thousand five hun
bred dollars side, has, it seems, been
abandoned, and negotiations are pending
which will probably result in having the
contest on the Lachine course, on the st.
Lawrence, few miles from Montreal, where
Renforth's English professional team beat
the Paris crew, of st. John, N. b., on the
18th of September, 1870. Montreal guaran-
tees six thousand dollars to the winner,
while the stakes of two thousand Ave hun
dred dollars side will roll the amount up
to eleven thousand dollars, by far the
largest money prize ever rowed for. This
will take Hanlan to water with which he is
already familiar, while Courtney is
stranger to it, and Us it is river water, and
must be affected by the current, it is almost
certainly not SO fair course as the Owasco
one, nor SO valuable for making time. But
there is one most significant fact in the
despatch, and which, if these two oarsmen
do not look out, may work them no small
harm. "The race will not be for the cham
pionship." There has been far too much
hippodroming in all our more popular
sports already. These two men have the
reputation of being fair, and, whatever they
may think, neither of them can afford
to lose that reputation now. This first
meeting between them has been long de-
layed, and the public appetite has been
whetted to expect great contest, finer per-
haps than any other ever seen on this CONT
nent. fthis race is not to be for the cham
pionship, then why not Is either man not
going to be at his best? If SO, and he knows
it now, then there ought to be no race. The
straightforward, manly way is to have one
contest on absolutely fair water and each
man take his chances, not a series of them,
one here and another there, over the coun-
try, under constantly changing conditions.
This one meeting will be the only one for
which the public will care much. and if
there is to be anything underhand about it
thew will not care much for it. Let Mr..
Courtney insist that it be for the champion
shin or else stay out of 1t.

We are in receipt of the following note
which is important enough to justify the
conspicuous insertion which we here give
it,
New York, Sept. Q, 1878
To TIE EDITOR HERALD
II must always be gratifying to every to have
the confidence and respect OF his fellow citizens, es
peeiaily OF those engaged In bis own line OF business
or profession. For the manifestation Of this feeling
on tho part OF the press, in the way my name has
been mentioned In connection with the office OF
Mayor, nave TO thank the editors OF the HERALD,
Sun, World, Evening Post. Mail aud other papers /;
but, finding on my return to town that
am stu spoken OF a candidate, and lest
my silence should mslead others. aud cause
Inconvenience. l feel 1t TO be my duty to state,
before tho matter goes any further that for reasons
of strictly personal character III were sure OF
being elected, should feel bound persmptory to de-
cline being q Candidate tor tho Mayoralty.
Renewing my thanks for tho many kind and gen.
erous words which have besu said IN my behalf,
remain very truly yours, ROBERT BONNER.
We need not say that we regret Mr..
Bonner's decision. 1t will also be regretted
by that large proportion of our citizens
who have recently been looking to Mr..
Bonner as the probable Mayor of the
city. The members of his own profession
are better qualified to appreciate his vigor-
Gus executive abilities than the community
at large; but while his nomination has
been warmly Endorsed by the city journals
to which he makes Acknowledgements in
his note it has also been responded to in
most cordial spirit by the mass of the peo-
pie, to whom Mr.. Bonner is no stranger.
Although Mr.. Bonner declines to be a can
didate the discussion of his qualifications has
had an excellent effect. 1t has impressed
the people Of the city with correct idea Of
the type of man they need at the head of
the municipal governments man of dash,
energy and capacity who, in an emergency,
would cut himself free from red tape. The
people do not want for Mayor one of your
solid and heavy men of the Dombey pat
terra man great on department but de-
fcient in ''go." The people do not want
what Mr.. Tilden used to call painted
responsibility. but ready, vigorous man
who has knack of fianking difficulties and
accomplishing results. Public opinion
having been for some time fixed on Mr..
Bonner as the beau ideal Of an accom-
plished Mayor it will not be satisfied with
a pompous Mr.. Dombey or mere political
stick or machine candidate.

charge of insincerity. How can mutually
estruuUed republicans ever be brought into
harmony if they disdainfully refuse to meet
for friendly consultation?
1t is,absurd for the Hayes republicans to
cavil at the language Of the call. 1t prop
erly omis topics on which republicans
differ. AHayes organ insists that the call
should have been addressed to supporters
of the administration. This implies that
only the supporters Of the administration
should be regarded as republicans. But no
political fact is more patent than that
q majority of republicans do not
support the administration. If only
those who approve the policy Of President
Hayes are to be recognized as republicans
the party is too small and select to have
any hope of carrying the State. The call
OF the Republican State Committee wisely
ignores all points of difference, and leaves it
to the Convention, when assembled, to con-
struct an acceptable platform. 1t is too
obvious that harmony cannot be secured by
insisting on an Endorsement OF Hayes or on
al Endorsement of Conkling, but only
by dropping out of view the sub
/ iects on which the party differs
wand putting forward those on which
the party agrees. There is every prospect
that the friends of Senator ConklinR will
