rh. Game with the Roche.ters YO,tsrdr

The Game with the Rochesters Yesterday.
The second game between the National and
Rochester clubs took place yesterday afternoon
on the grounds Of the former. The exhibi-
tion was pretty one up to the eighth innings.
when few errors by tho visitors permitted
the home club to score four unearned runs.
This virtually settled the game. The playing
by both mines was excellent with few excep-
tions, and demonstrates that the teams arc
pretty well matched.

will be the case this year thoye is %
reason to doubt and that equal sue
cess will follow equal wisdom is bu:
a logical sequence.
Every delegate to the County
Convention is supposed TO desire
the nomination of the best and
strongest man for each place on tho
ticket, and should be governed by
no other motive in casting his ballot.
Because John Smith is clever fell
low and resident Of Mineral Point,
is no reason why delegates from
Mineral Point should aid his nonj-
nation for any position unless they
are sustained by good evidence that
he is as capable, worthy and availa-
hIe as Tom Brown of Dodgcyile, or
Dick Jones Of some other town.
TO see that different localities arc
fairly represented is important, but
to see that no one is nominated who
cannot command the respect of COED

complain Of. Such, in biief and
in full was the suggestion Of Mr.,
Strong, made in open convention, in
the presence of many Republicans.
We too highly estimate the iuteli-
gence of Republican voters, to fear
to trust them with tickets of any
character. Most of them can read
plain bold type" sufficiently well to
distinguish an independent ticket
from Republican ticket, and the
name of Cothren. from that OF
Uazelton. Should the Democratic

scribed, the TRIBUNE viii furnish
