PATTISON Has THE LEAD.

Only eleventh-hour treschery can now
defeat Ex-Governor Pattison at Scranton.
The question is now how great and how
speedy will his victory in the convention
be. This certainly is not the pre-arranged
programme of any boss ~ bosses. Neither in
substance nor shadow is there o party man
sger to overawe the convention. The poll
ticians there are doubtless not over we'll
pleased at the overwhelming tide which has
pushed Pattison to the front. They are not
of themselves unanimously in his favor, but
the people have made their desire we'll un-
derstood, and upon the eve of the ccnven-
tion, as far as human judgment can discern,
Mr.. Pattison's nonination for the Governor
ship is assured. The Democratic party un-
derstands the situation. 1t is fortunate that
the party has such candidate for such az
occasion; fortunate for more people than the
Democratic party properly contains.

to recognize that the North has not sought
to insult the South by asking that the col
ored people of the South shall have the fair
and equal chances in education and politics,
which they get in the North.
As to the case of the negro in Pitts5urg.
to which the Netos and Courier refers, The
DISPATCH happens to know that he has not
been hanged. 1t is absurd to say that he
was sentenced "because he was negro"
The DISPATCH has urged the injustice of
giving him severer sentence than has been
accorded to other and more wanton mur-
derers because he is poor and unfriended;
and it is not probable that he will be hanged.
If the News and Courier will be equally
outspoken in urging the same impartiality
in the South it will command our warmest
approval.

FERDINAND's NERVE.

The execution of Major Panitza by the
Bulgarian Government the other day has
been widely commented on as defiance Of
Russia; but no one seems to have fully
recognized the evidence which it affords,
either of the nerve OF the present ruler of
Bulgaria or of his security OF being sup
ported by the Triple Alliance against Rus
sia.
When Prince Ferdinand took the Gov
eminent of Bulgaria the world was inclined
to sneer at him princling who was anxious
to play at ruling, and that frame of mind
has prevailed ever since. 1t can now hardly
be denied that Ferdinand in maintaining
his hold on the Bulgarian Government has
evinced a calmer and stesdier determination
than his predecessor. Alexander of Batten-
berg and Bulgaria was an ambitious and
heroic figure in the field; but when kid
naped by a Russian plot and called back
by the Bulgarian uprising, he had not the
stamina to hold his position there against
the Russian enmitv.
While his Cobourg successor has dis
played less of the dashing qualities, he has
shown more steadfast determination to re-
sist the Russian supremacy. He has main
tanned his position for years in defiance of
Russian frowns; and finally filings the gaunt-
let in the face of the Gar by the execution
of an agent of such Russian plots as have
heretofore been carried on with impunity.
Even with the support of the other powers
it was a bold step for a mere pawn in the
European game to take such an initiative.
1t is subject of conjecture what the re-
suits of the step will do. But if Russia
permits her agents to be shot with impu-
nifty, her power of embroiling the Danubian
provinces when she wishes to will be wo.
fully restricted.
