The Alternate.

The following from the Manchester Mirror so
accurately describes the status of our great en-
bodiment of eloquent profundity, Cap'n Chase,
that we venture to reproduce it to show an
anxious public what use the democratic
party have made ofthe great luminary:
An up-country correspondent referring to
the election of delegates to the Chicago con-
vention asks, "What is an alternate? WHAT
are his duties and powers?" Queries of this
kind should be sent to the Burlington Hawk
eye. but we will try and answer this one.
Alternates are what is left of State conven-
tions, contingent remainders, SO to speak
Their duties are to get sest in National con-
ventions and keep it, to look on and be looked
at. Their powers are quite extensive; they
can peddle ballots, cheer themselves hoarse,
pay hotel bills, and do anything regular dele
gates can do excep. vote. What an unnat-
uralized foreigner is to q town meeting, an
alternate is to a State convention. What q
sealed wife is to Mormon an alternate is to
candidate for the presidency. What a terri
torial delegate is to Congress an alternate is to
national convention. In word, an alter
Mates influence upon passing events depends
entirely upon his style, the strength of his
lungs, and the manner of his daily walk and
talk.
In case of the death OF delegate (which was
never known to happen) the alternate succeeds
to the old shoes and credentials, and this has
led people to suppose that he was invented as
recognition of the fact that all men are mortal.
He gets nothing for his services and pays his
own bills, and this has led other people to say
that his Office was created in order to have one
which no man would seek, and which would
have to seek the man in order to get filled;
but If that was the purpose of its originators
they made great mistake.
From this brief statement of what an alter
nate can do and can't do, it will be seen that
the office demands beauty of person, purity Of
life and an inpreSsya manner else the incum-
bent exerts no influence and is exhibited to no

HARTFORD Courant The Maine Demo
Gratis take the lead in New England in an
nouncing that the party has no principles.
After standing o1t against the Greenbackers
for two years the party has met in conven-
ton and surrendered bag and baggage, tax
ing for their candidate a renegade Republi-
can, General II. NJ. Plaisted, who has just
been nominated by the Greenbackers. After
such disgraceful capitulation it would have
been very absurd to have adopted any plat
form, and the convention adjourned in si-
lence. The Democracy of the east has hereto
fore prided itself on being in favor of honest
money, while the Greenbackers Of Maine
have been the most crack-brained and wild
of all the crazy soft-money theorists of the
country. And now when resumption has
been reached and the country has entered
upon season of prosperity which requires
above all things an even and stable currency,
the Democracy of Maine ties itself as a tail
to the used-up Greenback kite. If there are
any honest Democrats in the State they will
refuse to be sold out, even with the hope of
capturing the State by the combination. But
the manner in which the whole party stood
by the Garcelon fraud of last winter gives
little reason to expect either honesty or in
dependence in the party as a whole.

Success with Either.

We believe that one of these three Grant,
Blaine or Sherman) will be nominated at Chi
cago, and that whichever one.is nominated will
be elected President. The ordeal through
which they are now passing is an ordeal of fire,
and the fact that it is applied by their own
party makes it none the less trying No SUBJ
segment campaign can expose their imagined
weakness or magnify their alleged dement's in
a greater degree than the preliminary contest
is doing. We believe that either one of these
men will lose some votes which either of the
others might obtain, and yet we feel confident
that either one of them will be elected if nom-
mated. Each one of them has peculiar ele-
ments of strength, and perhaps some points
of weakness, and tho same would be true of
any candidate who could be named. One
might run better in New York, and another in
Ohio, and another in Indiana. One might get
the most votes in the east, another in the west,
and another in the south. The nomination of
Blaine might be most acceptable to one class OF
Republicans, that of Grant to another, and
that of Sherman to third. The young men
might rally most promptly around the Plumed
Knight of Maine, the business men and hard
money men around the great fnancier of Ohio,
and the old soldiers and stalwart Republicans

If there is any so-called sport meaner,
more cruel or more cowardly than "pigeon
shoot" the PRESS does not wish to know
about it. A crowd of men with guns ready
to aim at bewildered, frightened pigeon,
let out of bag in which it has been brought
to be shot ats this sportsmanlike, manly,
or anything but cruel and silly? A bull
fight is brutal affair, but it is contest be-
tween skill and strength; a fox hunt is fool
ish enough, but it includes adventurous
riding, and the fox has affair start and hole
to save himself in. But what chance for his
life has the bird at pigeon-shoot? None
except the absolute clumsiness of the sports
man. And a fine victory it is for man to
shoot dozen of these timid, harmless birds,
leaving them MANNED and dying on the
ground while the marksman receives the
congratulations of the crowd. Should the
proposed estate tournament of sportsmen"
take place at Peaks Island next September,
let it be so arranged that no such abuses
shall occur, glass balls being in every case
substituted for birds. 1t is to be hoped that
sportsmen will consider the cowardice and
cruelty of the present practice and ''reform
it altogether" Otherwise, an agent of the
S. P. c.. A. should be on hand at the next
pigeon-shoot, with power to bring it to a
sudden termination.

prosperity and glory of the government is
involved to a greater or less extent in the
decision that is made. The Chicago Con-
