Judicial Convention.

The official call for the Democratic
Judicial convention appears in our
columns today. There are two judg.
es to be elected and the candidates
are Judges Hoyt and Hatch, the pres
ent incumbents, and Hon. John +.
Dayton, of our own county. To
Judge Hoyt there is no opposition,
neither is it likely that any will be
developed, all agreeing that he has
made an excellent record during the
year that he has occupied the bench
and that he is now justly entitled to
an election for the full term. But to
Judge Hatch there is opposition, not
because he has not filled the office
well during the past four years, but
upon political grounds, Mr.. Hatch
having been known as a life long
Republican. although perhaps no
in full fellowship with his party for
the past few years. and especially
since he was taken up by the
Democrats under so-called indspe-
ndent movement and placed upon
the bench. Mr.. Hatch has in no
public manner identified himself
with the Democratic party. and hay-
ing stood by him for the past two
terms the party feels that 1t has
honored him well and is under no
further obligations to him. The dist
rict is now largely Democratic, and
in the Hon. John +. Dayton We have
q rock rooted Democrat whose ability
and qualifications in every respect
for the judgeship are unquestioned,
and there is therefore no
good reason whatever for not place,
ing him in nomination in preference
to Mr.. Hatch. As we stated last week,
Mr.. Dayton entered the contest twice
several years ago when the chances
were largely against him, and he made
de splendid run on both occasions,
and now that success is absolutely
certain, we believe it to be not only
Just, but that it is the duty Of the
party to put him in nomination as a
running mate with Judge Hoyt, and
we further believe that every good
Democrat in the district cannot help
but take the same view Of the case.
Let our judicial standard bearers
therefore be the two true blue and
tried Democrats, Judge VIM. A. Hoyt
and Hon. John F. Decentralization

a Picnic After a Funeral.

NEW YORK, Mar "a August T. Schweit
zar was very Jolly man while he lived and
had rather jolly idea Of life beyond the
grave. Fond of old jokes, he insisted that
his coffin should be chestnut one, as he
considered that death was an old story.
This Jolly fellow died on Thursday and was
buried yesterday, the funeral being as jolly
and happy az the dead man could have
wished. HE orders were that the funeral
feast should be eaten before his body was
placed in the earth, and that the coffin must
be in the dining room, because he wanted
to be in the midst Of his friends. This part
OF the programme was not fully carried out,
because no hotel proprietor would consent
to the casket bsirg brought into his prem.
Uses. Tue services were held at the resi-.
dence of the dead man in Brooklyn in the
afternoon and the Publication took place
later. When the friends and Masons who
had attended the funeral saw the caeket
safe in the grave, they rushed for the
Evergreen Hotel. With them rushed others,
few Of whom seemedto have any interest or
connection with the funeral. Lager beer,
cheese sandwiches, Frenkforter sauaages
and coffee constituted the repast provided.
Thus, Schwetzsr's funeral did not end as
happily a; he had wished.

ate Mr.. Sherman said all the disabilities i'm
posed By the North upon ex Confederates
had been removed. And yet 1t was only on
Saturday last that that branch of Congress
of which Mr.. Sherman is member, passed
bill to relieve one ex-Confederate from the
operation of the statute that prohibits all Of
them from holding commissions in the U. 8
army, 1t being stated at the time that relief
similar to that asked for had been afforded
only in two other caseE. To have tested
