MCCuLIocH.

The Galva convention, after 90 ballots,
finally nominated Judge McCulloch, of
this city, as the partisan republican can
didate for Supreme Judge. Mr.. McCul-
loch's competitors were j. J. Glenn, of
Warren, and Il. f. Bull, of La Sale. lie
was nominated at last by bare majority.
Either Bull or Glenn would have made a
stronger candidate. Not but that McCul-
loeh is very excellent gentleman, accord
ing to general estimation, but Mr. MeCul-
lob cannot expect, an j ought not to expect,
to secure that support as the nominee of a
partisan political convention that he would
on his personal merits as David Nice ulloch,
citizen, lawyer and judge. But even at
the best, better men in the republican par
ty in Peoria than Judge McCulloch could
have been selected for the place, and
probably after the first Monday in
June Mr.. McCulloch will think so
too.-Nattoaal Democrat.

An ENGLISH CASE.

The English Courts of Law are growing
decidedly romantic. An elopement case in
a novel form came up the other day before
the Northumberland Assizes, held by JUS
lice wv iiliams. A certain Lieutenant Turn
er, of the Queens own Borderers,' ran
away from Berwick with the tickle wife OF
its chief solicitor who, .instead of pursuing
them armed to the teeth in the traditional
post-chaise, sent warrant after them for
larceny, ON which the Lieutenant was BY
the local magistracy committed on trial for
stealing ladys travelling trunk, black
leather portmanteau. and a small quantity
of silver and plated articles
belonging to the solicitor. Justice
Williams in charging the Grand Jury to
dismiss the bill said: The charges arose
through this gentleman having eloped with
the wife of the prosecutor. If man eloped
with another mans wife the notion that he
could be said to steal either her bonnet or
cloak or box seemed repugnant to common
sense or law. It was not stealing in the
eye of Law, which meant and comprised O.
criminal intent. Il was for them to con
slider, as men of the world, whether there
was really anything to put the man on his

TOO SOON.

| While it is perfectly natural and fitting
| that the Irishmen, both of the old country
and the new, should be glad at the liberia
ton of their leaders, yet they must remem-
| Der that they are far from being out of the
| woods yet, and it is too soon for any ex-
uberant joy The attitude Gladstone has
taken, if he can hold to it, is favorable to
Ireland, and in it Irishmen have reasons to
see hope for their country, but there is an
other question that must arise, and that
cannot yet be determined Even if Glad
stone is sincere in his professions viii he
be able to adhere to them. The resigna-
ton of Forster, and the stand he has taken
in opposition to the new policy, is prolific
of threatening trouble. and if he succeeds
in his opposition, and the Gladstone gov
eminent has to 60 to the wall, then For
ster will be the Premier; if that happens,
goodbye to Irish hopes. Labourche has de-
clared that this is Forster's purpose, and
furthermore thinks that in it he will be
successful, and it is certainly extre mely
doubtful whether Gladstone can hold a
majority of the Commons in support of
his new policy. He has already weakened
his case by his usual irresolution in ap-
pointing Cavendish Secretary for Ireland,
instead of Chamberlain, who was accept
able to the Irish people. He has antago
nized a large number of his former follow
ers, and has not drawn strength enough to
fill their places; in the late vote ON the
Cloture bill he had only bare majority,
and the chances are that Forster will mus
ter votes enough to beat him on the new
issue. In that case, as stated before, For
ster win become Premier and the last state
of Ireland will be worse than the first.
These may seem gloomy forebodings, but
they are by no means improbable, and it is
better to look the thing squarely in the
face and wait for the final test, which will
be soon, than to go into any extravagant
expressions of JOY before the battle has
been fought 1t is well to be confident,
but by no means well to be careless from
that confidence The fight has but just
begun on the new policy. A few weeks,
however, will determine the result

TILDEN DEMOCRATS.
buffalo Courier Dem. } May i


1t has suited the purpose of Mr.. John
Kelly, his lieutenants and organs to desig-
nate the democrats who do not own allie
glance to Tammany Hall as ''Tilden DEM
ocrats." In 1874 Kelly and his associates
were the Jealous advocates of Mr. Tilden's
nomination for the Governorship, and il
was partly due to their efforts that he OBJ
tanned it. Ia 1876 Kelly again desired to
cover the odium attached to his organiza
ton with the name of respected and pop
ular democrat. His choice for the Gov
ernorship was the late Clarkson n. Pot
ter. But nothing is more certain than
that if Mr.. Potter had become Governor,
Kelly, failing to control his official course,
would at once have Quarrelled with him.
At a time when the Tammany leader hoped
to influence Governor Robinson he pro-
fessed great friendship for him, but as
soon as the Governor asserted his personal
independence the F'boss" became his deadly
enemy. Opposition to arrogant claims is
not confined to those who could be de-
seribed as Mr. Tilden's friends and follow
ers, and the controversy between the reg
ular democrets and the Tammany men has
therefore few, if any, personal elements
If Gladstone is sincere and he controls
enough votes to carry his measure through,
then has Ireland cause for qualification.
She has certainly gained a point even if
Gladstone fails and Forster takes his place,
for if coercion should yet exist nevertheless,
would her power have been recognized

KELLY.

About the most screaming farce of the
politics of to-day is John Kelly, of New
York, passing as an anti monopolist- John
Kelly is an anti-monopohst just now fol
the same reason that the devil would be 6
Christian if it suited his purposes. John
Kelly is an utterly worthless political
mountebank, who cares no more for prin-
c1ples than dog does for revealed re-
igion. He is working for himself, and
would be monopolist if he could make a
point by it. With this character it is no
wonder his admirer and imitater of the
weekly Hgpoerite is praising him.
