The Coming Contrast.


The Cincinnati: convention is likely
to present a strong contrast to the Chica-
90 convention in many particulars, and
in nothing more conspicuously. than in
the absence of bad feeling between the
friends of the different candidates and
of undue persistence in forcing their
choice upon their fellows. At Chicago
an ex-president of the United States in
sisted upon keeping his name before the
convention long after it was manifest
that his candidacy was not approved
by the majority of the MEM
bers. His adherents openly avowed
their intention to adhere to him until
they had forced a majority to come to his
support. There will surely be no such
exhibition at Cincinnati. Already we
know that the candidate whom his party
wants to nominate, Horatio Seymour,
will have letter presented to the con-
vention declining the honor upon the
ground that his health will not permit
him to undergo the severe labors Of the
presidency. 1t is not likely to be the
only letter of this kind there. Mr.. Til
den will give the same reason for his de-
clinatiOn of the nomination, and certain
ly with as much justification. Both
of these eminent men prob
ably would prove to be sufficiently
strong in bodily condition to meet the
requirements of the chief magistracy.
Certainly few men with equal opportu-
nifty of reaching it would thus put it away
from them. 1t is an unexampled thing
to have a presidential nomination de-
clined, and that two leading candidates
should say nay to the tempting office, with
so fair prospect of success as greets
the Democratic party now, is very nota-
BILE, indeed, and shows very different
temper from that prevailing among Re-
publican statesmen.
Mr.. Seymour probably places too much
stress upon his physical weakness, of
which he betrays no sign in his personal
appearance. His imagination magnifes
it. He is strong enough for the presi-
dency if he could be persuaded to think
so. A man of his ability would dis
charge its duties with little of the
worriment that men of less experience
and capacity would have. But it is not
hard to understand that man of good
sense who has reached Mr.. Seymour S
age would find no sufficient reward in
the presidential prize for the loss of the
ease and quiet that are most welcome to
his latter years.

Judge Biddle doesn't seem to take kindly
to the judicial protection Judge Patterson,
of Lancaster, throws around political roun-
ders and ballOt-stuffers. In case where
Judge Patterson would have discharged
"the best workers of the ward" Judge
Biddle fined them s1O0 each and sent them
to prison for a year. Most people here
about think that Judge Biddle is right
perhaps they think differently up in Lam
caster.

A Good Standard.

1t looks as if the Democratic party
would have to give up their cherished
idea of nominating IIoratio Seymour as
their candidate for the high place to
which he is so eminently fitted. He tells a
Herald correspondent, finally and positive
ly, that he is not a candidate, and could
not be under any circumstances. ellis un-
willingness to be candidate did not grow
out of disinclination for public duties,
nor out of an unwillingness to sacrifice
his interests or his health-if he had the
health to sacrifice they were demand
ed by the public or the party to which he
is attached. The difficulty was that he
had not the strength to perform those
duties. Upon that point no one could
Judge rs we'll as himself.' There is no
reason whatever now to doubt the sin
cerity of his declaration. He is not the
man to masquerade double dealing
purpose behind any such disavowal as
this.
The mention of his name and of the
fainteSt possibility of his consent to let
it be placed before the convention has
everywhere created an enthusiasm for
him that promised to sweep away every
other candidates chances. 1t will be
with great reluctance that the Democra-
cy accede to his wishes and his peremp-
tory conclusion. But it would be folly
to make a nomination that he says will
inevitably be declined.
Nevertheless, the discussion Of his
name will have served a good purpose in
illustrating for the benefit of delegates
the qualities that the Democracy think
their candidate ought to have, and no
member of the Cincinnati convention can
60 far wrong in measuring the man for
whom he casts his vote by the standard
of Horatio Seymour's private and public
character. The self-abnegation and lack
of. Obtrusiveness in his whole political
career, his broad sympathy with every
public interest, his unspOtted record for
official integrity, his purity of personal
character and uprightness in all his So
cial relations, his positive opinions on
public questions, formed by habits of phi
losophical study and reflection, are quail
tiles which distinguish an ideal candi-
date and would adorn an ideal president.
The man who best embodies them, of
those now left for consideration at Gin
cinnati. is the man for the hour.

General Barnes, General Marcy and

eSlCTn newspapers are .ucf OIlllS COI-
siderable space to the late shooting
match in which young Fred Erb, Jr., Of
st. Joseph. Mo, defeated Captan-A. II.
Bogardous, champion wing shot of the
world. The match was for 5000 and
fifty per cent. Of the gate money; each
TO shoot at one hundred birds from five
traps. The traps were arranged in a sort
of scmi-crcle, the marksmen not know
ing from which trap the pigeon would be
pulled.
No pigeon match that ever took place
before in the northwest created as much
interest as this one did. Members of
clubs of the Missouri valley and clubs
in the northwest, as we'll as hundreds of
other sharpshoo:e.s, were present. The
wind was boiStcrous and cold before the
shooting began and when young Erb fir
ed the last shot, dropping his twenty
third bird in succession, the thermometer
was working down to zero, and q 'earful
gale swept over the grounds.
AS soon as they were ready to begin
their shooting, the ST. 10. boy asked the
venerable captain, who had defeated the
hest English shots on their own soil to
open the ball. The captain replied that
he was always on hand, stepped promptly
to the score and cried "Pulr' A pigeon
rose from trap 2, but dropped before the
deadly pellts ere he had chance to look
around. Young Erb them faced the cham
confidence. Shooting alternately with
the captain the boy droppcd thirteen
birds before he missed, the captain miss
ing his third and tenth While some Of the
pigeons brought down by both marks
men were StemWinderS, many were SO
terrified or tame they had to be closed
up.
When cash had shot fifty birds the score
stood: Erb 46; Bogardous, 43. This
rather astonishcd the hackers Of Bogar-
us, who were in the majority, while the
had predicted his winning from the start
were jubiIant, but not bo.sterously so.
Young Erb had to make fifty shots yet
with the great marksmen. AS the shoot
ing continued the / ds favored he boy a
little, aud the veteran experienced hard
luck. He said the wind and dust troubled
his eyes.
The boy had never shot before under
the tive-trap rules Each dead shot gave
him greater confidence. He stepped to
the score, and rs the birds rose at any
part of the semi circle, he took his range
with lightning rapidity, bringing them
Gown with uncrring aim. When his last
bird fell the score stood, Erb 93, Bogar-
duS S3,
The 81. 10. Hcr0ld says: "rhe enthusi-
aSm on the result cannot we'll be imagined.
The crowd pressed forward with ou;-
stretched arms to take the victor by
the hand, and some were satisfied to
even touch him. He was u bigger man
than Grant.
