THE SECOND CHOICE.

The New York Tribune, in an excess OF
virtue, declares that, as TO Presidential
candidates, no man should have a second
choice. \ choice, it says, for the Presi-
dency means something 1t ought to
mean deliberate Judgment that, all things
considered, the nomination of certain
candidate is a duty. The man who DELHI
erateiy Judge, that the nomination OF
White is public duty cannot have any
opinion about Black or other candidates
named, except that it is a duty not to nom
mate them This is putting it altogether
too strong. \ man may have deliberate
judgment that either of two candidates for
specific qualities manifest in each would
make a good President For reasons, how
ever, not always capable Of rational an
alysis, or for the matter of policy as to sue
cess obtainable, he may prefer that one
shall be nominated in case the other can
not receive the support he would wish to
see accorded Why should second choice
"di,qualify' for the performance of a
grave public duty The duty of choos-
Ing \ " may be fully impressed upon the
conscience of the delegate. but it may like
wise be clear to him that b " would serve
the country well. When the Tribune
charges that the voter with second choice
is Of the wcathcrcock order, it assumes that
those who have but one choice are infalla-
Bile; and it assume, the possibility of a
situation in which no choice whatever
would result in nomination.

A DISGRACED STATE.

We made note some time ago of new
code of practice at the bar Of Kentucky.
1t began by Buford numbering Judge FL
lott who decided against him. 1t was
followed by a lawyer named Corneilson
horSewhipping Judge Reid, who did not
rule as he desired He first dazcd his
victim 10y a blow with bludgcon. The
matter 80 preyed upon the mind of the
Judge that recently he committed suicide.
Corneilson has gone unpunishcd for his
cowardly assault public sentiment, indeed,
applauded the bully. But now that tragedy
has succeeded the farce we shall expect
public sentiment even in Kentucky, to
drive the mi,creant CorncilSon from among
men. If it does not We shall believe that
Kentucky, with her bulldozing LAWYERS,
her duclists, her fearful record of litter
acy, her murder record and her whisky,
deserves to be blottcd out of existence. and
her name made Kissing and by-word.
In no State in this Union has there been
manifest such contempt for the Courts,
such assaults upon intelligence and such q
disregard of the common deccncies Of a
republican form Of government, and such
listles,neSs regarding education. Ken
tuckys illiteratcs, her code Of honor and
her whisky stills are giving us Legitimate
