The Work of the Convention.
N. o. Times. DEMOCRAT.

The great campaign is over. 1t has
been one OF the most protracted and
hotly contested in the political history
of this State. And it has terminated as
it should have done, in victory for
the cause of justice, of progress and of
patriotism. Samuel ID. McEnery, the
man who represents home enterprise,
internal development, reliance,
public faith, impartial administration
Of tho laws-Samuel d. McEnafy
has received fiattering indersement,
an eloquent vindication. His faithful
services have been recognized by an
overwhelming majority of the people |;
his persecution has been generously re-
compensed, and his prosecutors have
been emphatically rebuked. He is the
nominee of the democratic party and
will be elected to administer for four
more years the Office which he has
filled with such conspicuous ability and
with SO much honor and credit to tho
State.
Truth has triumphed and falsehood
is put to shame We congratulate the
opposition upon their peaceful and pat
riotic submission to the will of the ma
ijority upon their prompt resignation
of acrimony in the hour of defeat. To
their credit be it recorded that they ac-
cepted the inevitable with self-contrel,
and freely abandoned the attitude they
had maintained throughout the struggle.
The fact is an eloquent testimonial to
the cohesiYeness of Democracy, and q
hopeful symptom Of it's future.
The nominations are all made, and
the people can judge for themselves as
to the character of the incoming adj
ministration. They will see upon the
ticket names conspicuous in connection
with faithful public service; names
synonymous with ability and integrity.
They have been chosen with Judgment,
with reference to the good of the State.
The ticket is in every sense a repre-
sentative of the mass Of the Democra-
cy. It is guarantee of ability and
honesty and fidelity in the administra-
tion of the law, and q bright promise
of progress, peace and prosperity for
the entire commonwealth. We. con-
gratulate the people upon this consum-
nation of 4 campaign which was born
under such angry skies and lowering
auspices. The way has been dark and
weary, but the geal has been reached
and, in its happy security, we can for
get tho troublous past.

An Uncomfortable Position.

An alleged mesmerist named Town
send was placed in an uncomfortable
position before his audience, in Philadel-
phia, by medical student who had
closely studied mesmerism and kindred
isms. and who insisted on propounding
to the self-styled ''professor" a series of
questions altogether beyond that individ-
uars comprehension. Finally the stu
dent asked why it was that the mesmer-
lied subjects took particular care to stop
when they approached the edge of the
platform, and never went dangerously
near wall or an open window. The
professor said: .'Why, my friend.
control these people absolutely, and
guard them from harm, don't you see."
1t was evident that the student did not
''see," for he requested that the subjects
who were nimbly capering about the
stage should be thoroughly blindfolded
and then submitted to that absolute
control which thoroughly guarded them
''frOm I'll harm, don't you see." 1t is
needless to remark that the very reason
able proposition was not accepted, and
the audience dispersed with the convic-
lion that the mesmerist was fraud
