THE REAL DIFFICULTY.

The agreement of the anti-Tammany confer
ence on Mr.. Seth Low the candidate for
Mayor is naturally enough, for the time being
at least. "A disappointment TO all who believed
that the choice ought 10 be made from among
the independent Democrats. That opinion was
held 10y a large number Of persons belonging to
various bodies represented at the conference,
and il has not been more steadily and strongly
expressed by any of them than by influential
spokesmen of the Republican organization. At
every stage of the preliminary canvass the fact
that a suggested candidate was an independent
Democrat was generally recognized as a point
in his favor which it required showing of
personal drawbacks TO offset; and there is now
no good reason for expressions of irritation at
the result. though temporary disappointment is
entirely reasonable.
The obvious and. so far as we are able to
ascertain. the only trouble was that members
OF the subcommittee and Of the conference TO
which il reported were unable 10 present an in
dependent Democrat who c0nvincingly appealed
10 more than small minority of those charged
with the duty of selection. a reference TO
various names earnestly proposed at one time
or another should suggest 10 committee mem
bers who are now lamenting the outcome with
some indications Of hard feeling the propriety
of adopting a rather different attitude. Mr.
Herman Ridder appears 10 be seriously discon-
tented and TO feel that another choice which
would have been more fortunate. from his point
of view, might readily have been made. Yet on
August 26 The German-American Reform Union,
of which Mr.. Ridder has been the principal
representative throughout the negotiations, for
mally presented as its candidates for Mayor the
following names in the order given: Edward
Cooper, Smith Ely, William X. Grace Abram
s. Hewitt and John De WITT Warner The list
contains a large stock of character and ability
bnt Mr. Cooper is seyenty-seyen years old Mr.
Ely segenty-six and Mr.. Grace nearly seventy
while AIr. Hewitt. in his eightIeth year lives in
New-Jersey. Undoubtedly multitude of admir-
ing citizens wish that Mr.. Hewitts physical
strength were equal 10 his intellectual power
and his devotion 10 the public welfare but it is
hard 10 realize that intelligent and sincere an
organization the Reform Union deliberately
put Mr.. Hewitt forward as an eligible candi-
date, together with several other men who
though younger. are perhaps even more unequal
TO the strain o. office. As for Mr.. Warner still
In the prime OF life and possessed of many
excellent qualities. IL is well known that he did
not develop sufficient strength TO last through TO
the "semifnals.c
Another similar example OF a want Of discern
ment was supplied at the conference on Wednes-
day last by Mr.. William Hepburn Russell who

Illinois Central officials are prepar-

between Chicago and Omaha, and this
fact has given rise to to the rumor that
the company is going to make an at
tempt to get more government con-
tracts. Officials of the road said yester-
day that while they hope to be able at
some time to carry more of the govern
ment's business, there is no intention of
trying to compete for the through fast
mail between these points. The Burl-
ington has carried this for many years,
and SO long AS the company is able to
do as well as any other there is little
danger of it losing any government con,
tracts. AS the time approaches, how
ever, for the government to get ready to

for it. The man who is content to sit
down and feel that you will patronize
him anyway is not always the best man
to trade with. He is usually the mer-
