perience aud figured out TO nicety
or course, they relate TO averaa aes. and
are only approximate in any individual

the Democratic candidate for Vice
President, II in good health on the 4th
OF next March, might have an "expec-
tation' of living 3.95 years, which
would carry him nearly through his
term. OF course he might live much
longer; he might die much sooner All
that this expectation" signifies is that
II he were to apply then for life in

pay would be based on this probable

ditions. There Is no way OF telling
how many notification addresses like

AccEPTs VIZ EAeER HANDS.

TROM Mr. conrad's speech last
night accepting the nomination
for Governor on the Addicks
ticket. we take it that he is gratlned,
feels honored and is deluded enough to
entertain hope. .~a s,a s....
Mr.. Conrad expressed his qualification
at the honor conferred. And that hon
or was conferred in this way; There
was a-meenns at'thG Hotel walton in
Philadelphia at which there We're pres.
ent AddiclSs, Alice. Layton and Con-
rad. AT that conference Mr., Cohrat
made his candidacy acceptable, anc
then Addlcks. called tho newspaper
men and told them his decision-rthai
Conrad would be nominated for Cover
nor.
The work Of the convention held SUBJ
seauently was perfunctory; merely as
a ratifying body. And It was IN this
way that Mr.. Conrad received the dis
tinguished honor. And the incidents
OF the official announcement were in
harmony With the manner Of his Sc
lection. Magistrate Bradley was select
ed as the representative OF the Repub-
lcans Of this county as the fitting and
proper person to formally tender the
nomipation to Mr.. Conrad. Ills pleas
ure at receiving the distinguished honor
may be well understood, for Magistrate
Bradley has applied Union Republican
politics to the Ninth ward in all Of its
purity. just as 1t obtains In Kent and
Sussex. OF course Mr.. Conrad was de-
lighted.
Mr.. Conrad from his historical. studies
has come to set great store by patriot
ism, and It is not surprising that he
spoke Of the many offices filed with
Union Republicans as an example Of
what patriotism" may accomplish.
But patriotism has certain handmade
ems that are most useful. Without the
voters assistant law and an enormous
campaign fund, patriotism would not
be crowned by victory.
II, as Mr.. Conrad said, he has mad,
pledges 10 nobody, then we are oblige,
to remark that the conference at thl
Walton was fruitless, and that Addiek
let slip a great advantage. For sine
