A Hard Hun OF Luck.

John Kelly has run OF bad luck In
appearing 10 often before Democratic ma
tional con 'entions In opposition to the
candidate OF his state. Each time the
man preferred by the rest Of the New
York Democracy Is the only man who
does not suit Mr. Kelly and his associ-
ates. When he appeared before the last
conventions at st. Louis and Cincinnati
demanding any one but Tilden, there
was room for the belief that he was sin
cerely persuaded that Tilden would
make a bad candidate, and there were
good many Democrats throughout the
country who were in sympathy with that
belief. But when New York selects
new candidate, who Is again particularly
obnoxious to Mr.. Kelly, there is good
cause for the suspicion that Mr.. Kelly
is hard man to please with presiden'
t,al candidate from his own state, and
that in fact no one will suit him whom
he does not think he can control. Cleve-
lands Independence and lack Of allegi
auce to Tammany Hall, is probably the
real reason of its leaders antipathy to
him and will as we'll account for the
antagonistic votes he has found in the
New York delegation from other parts of
the state. The delegates look more to their
interests than to that Of the party In the
state, and prefer candidate from outside
the state rather than one Of their own
citizens who will not be likely in the
presidential office to hold them at their
own estimate of themselves and reward
them accordingly. The Brooklyn dele
gates have shown greater degree of
magnanimity. They consider that they
have been ill.treated by the governor OF
their party, but they think that the
interest of the party in the state
requires them to support him for the
nomination, and they do so. They do
not wish to be regarded as fighting a
New York candidate because of personal
grievances, when they believe that he
will make good and strong candidate.
The Pennsylvania delegation is solidly
for Randall under like considerations.
There are among the delegates those
who think they have no reason to be
personally pleased with Mr.. Randall's
treatment of them and there are others
who have personal preferences for other
candidates but they all Loyalty support
Mr.. Randall because he is u Penn
sylvania candidate, whom they believe
will be good and strong one, and who
is heartily desired as the candidate Ivy
the Democracy of the state they repre-.
sent. We cannot all have our favorites
for president and as it has come TO be
considered the proper thing to give the
state support to state candidate, dele
gates who find in the choice Of tht
state, good man, though h'
may not In their judgment b.
the best man, may deem them
selves fortunate. Sometimes they
are called upon to swallow yer!
ugly doses in supporting poor sticks wh(
are set up by these states, and who hav'
no other recommendation other than
their state endorsement. But the
New York and Pennsylvania delegations
have no such embarrassment now.
Each state has worthy candidate and
those who strain hard at Randall or
Cleveland are in an illstate of mind.

confesses that the lNTELLIGENCEK has
earned its esteem and if 50 it must
have done it under its present edi
tor who may possibly have late

it is equally possible that the delusion
may be in the mind of the editor of the
San. We undertook to express the opin-
ion that the SIMS editor was not always
as m gnanimous and wise as he should
be, and that he grossly erred in his state
ment of Cleveland's strength before the

deluson, If it was nothing worse and
while the editor of the SlUl stands under
the shadow of this indictment of his
good sense, We can we'll afford TO patiently
hear that he charges us with lack of
sense in finding it.

JUDGE K. Z. PlrMAN, in the North
american ReuHr, in some remarks on jurles
and jurymen, declares that "tbe reason
why so few tirst.class business meu are
found upon our juries is that they are
excused by the courts" This is strictly
true. There is entirely too much OF a
disposition shown by the wearers Of the
ormne to accommodate substantial citizens
who feel disiuclination TO jury duty.
1t is q wrong impression 70 suppose that
work on jury is of harassing and
laoorious nature. On the contrary, it is in
ordinary cases very interesting work, and
tho thought of high duty performed
should materially sweeten the toll tha,
attends the occupation.
