His NaIue n Symbol of Good Luck.

From the New York Herald, Inu.I
The Democrats in Pennsylvania have an.
svered the domination of Mr.. Delamater as the
Republican candidate by the denomination Of
Governor Pattison. They supersede older and
better soldiers, which is not wise in any organ
ization. political or military. Pattison may be
called kind of horseshoe candidate, his name
q symbol of good luck. Having once beaten
the Republicans in their banner State he may
do SO again. AS Governor Mr.. Pattison was
fair to middling. The campaign In fennsyl-
vania does not mean the election of Pattison,
but the defeat Of Delamater.

Deserves Well of the People.


From the AItOOna IlLntS, DsIns
The Democratic Convention did honor to
itself and displayed a vast deal OF wisdom and
prudence when it called upon Robert E. Pat
tison. the gallant standard bearer of the party
in 1882, to again lead the columns Of Democ-
racy. Robert E Pattison deserves well OF the
people and his party, and his nomination will
be greeted by storm of enthusiasm that will
swell from border to border and through the
length and breadth of the old Keystone, and it
will increase in volume until the contest is de-
cided in November.

Thinks Wallace Won't Help Him.

From the Erie Dispatch, Rep.]
The Scranton Convention nominated Robert
E. Pattison for Governor, as was foreshadowed
for some weeks past. His principal qualifca-
ton is his supposed ability to cut down the Re-
publican majority of the State. The success OF
Pattison now would mean the permanent re-
tirement of Wallace from Pennsylvania poll
tics. He is not yet ready to be shelved and
will take good care that such catastrophe does
not happen to himself through the election Of
Ex-Governor Pattison.

Nominated by Force of Circumstances.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Dem.l
Although there was determined but honor
able struggle to nominate ex-senator Wallace,
only one ballot was required. 1t may be said
that Pattison was nominated by the force of
popular opinion the openly expressed prefer
ence Of thousands of Republicans having its
effect. There was no pretense that Wallace
was not every way competent and worthy OF
the honor but the prestige of previous victory
against heavy odds was with Pattison. The
same sentiment of confidence dictated the
choice of Hon. Chauncey F. Black for candi-
date for Lieutenant Governor and SO the
Democrats of the Keystone State enter upon
the campaign of 1890 under the same leaders
who jointly overcame a Republican plurality
of 81, 900 in 1880 and were elected Governor and
Lieutenant Governor in 1882 by 10000. Condi-
tions are favorable for repetition of that
triumph this year.

Democratic Success Distinctly Possible,

Democratic success Distinctly fossiDies
From the New York Times, Dem.l
The nomination of Pattison and Black makes
distinctly possible Democratic success in
Pennsylvania this year, notwithstanding the
great preponderance OF the Republican vote in
times past. There is not likely to be any inde-
pendent Republican movement like that which
carried 49, 743 votes from Beaver to Stewart in
1882 and led to the election of Pattison by a
plurality of more than 10000. But by judi
cious course upon the high plane indicated by
the candidate in his speech before the conven-
ton the independent vote may be directly won
to the support Of the Democratic ticket. More
than that, many Republicans who were not
ready to "bolt" eight years ago may be willing
now to cast their votes directly for Pattison.
whose record in the office of Governor and
whose personal character highly recommended
him to all fair-minded men. Quay's dictatlon
in 1890 has been much more arrogant and
offensive than was Cameron's in 1882.

To Give the Sack.


Two noblemen in the reign OF
Macmillan III. (1561-I5T6) one a
German, the other a Spaniard, who
had each rendered a great service 10
the emperor, asked the hand of his
daughter, Helena, in marriage.
Macmillan said that as he esteemed
them both alike il was impossible TO
choose between them, and therefore
their ewn prowess must decide 1t:
but being unwilling to risk the loss
OF either by engaging them in
deadly combat he ordered a large
sack TO be brought, and declared
that he who should put his rival
into 1t shoul have his fair Helena.
And this whimsical combat was
actually performed in the presence
Of the imperial court aud lasted an
hour. The unhappy Spanish noble
mau was first overcome and the
German succeeded in envelopinp
him In the sack, took him upon his
hack and laid him at the emperor's
feet.
This comical combat is said TO be
