I -H-- ;, awry excellent body of earnest men who dlwatched their business in an orderly. WBtematle way, se that ttie result can lie cheerfully and consistently ncqul- aieed in even by these who would have tad it otherwise. The convention was specially careful te select such a ticket, even for the offices te which the Democra cy have little hepe of electing.ns would de credit te them were the relation of the parties here different from what It Is. In Paris Haldeman, for instance, the party would have a Congressman of whom it might be proud; and who' would be a fit representative of thW great county and Its varied In tenets. What a vivid contrast D. G Esbleman would be en the bench te the judges the Republican party has Riven us I And if there was virtue in the political majority of the lower senatorial district Dr. Jehn Martin would make it Impossible for Ames U. Myliu te get back te the Senate. The nominees for assembly and ether places en the ticket were in like manner selected with re gard te the dignity of the offices and the qualifications of lit incumbeuts for them. The chief interest and excitement centered in the contest for county com missioner, the nomination te which is equivalent te an election. The cenven tien bad a choice between Reed men, and could net well have gene wrong. Mr. Hartman was a leading can didate three years age; he had a large and devoted personal following, attached te him for his nturdy thrift and honesty and genial personal qualities ; he is a representative of and was enthu siastically backed by the Germau ele ment, which constitutes se large a portion of the citizenship of this county, especially in the towns, and which con tributes he largely te the strength of the Democracy. Mr. Schroeder, the nomiuce for auditor, is a young man of large clerical experience and ability, who will bring te the place conscientious zeal and an earnestness ter the proper discharge of its duties. The nominees for both these offices, the importance of which under the new salary bill is greatly enhanced, will have the support of a united party in their determination te check extravagance, miBrule and favoritism in county affairs. They can well afford te stand up man fully against tliese, and if no one of their Republican colleagues will co operate with them they can nt least earn the reward and have the satisfaction of duty done. A Dig 1 bier. The big difference bftween a licit thief and a peer one is receiving striking ex emplification in the method of disposal of Ferdinand Ward the here of the great Wall street fizzle of a few weeks age. It is au undoubted fact that Ward was guilty of swindling Just as much as would be the lowest scamp who would raise the figures in a check or forge the natne of a maKer toaneto. But Mr. Ward was guilty of refined thievery and his offence is net threfore classed as a lel lel eny, as would be the stealing of a hers, though the latter species of wrong-doing is te the ferrrer as water is te wine. Mr. Ward, instead of languishing ho he hind prison bars for an offense ngulust the commonwealth, Is restrained in iail simply under a civil process. The sheriff of New Yerk is responsible for his safe keeping, and he may, if he sees fit, let his prisoner go abroad without let or hindrance. It is an admitted fact that Ward has gene forth fromtimeto time since his incarceration attended by a deputy. Thus ia au oppertuuity given te him te see his friends and agree upon a story that shall help te cover his short comings when the civil suit is tried. It Ij unquestionably wrong that this state of affairs should exist. The man who has been guilty of such wholesale swind ling aa this dapper New Yerk gentleman should be made te pay the cost of his whistle. According te his own admls Blens, he has obtained money and prop erty from people under false representa tlens, and he should be In the Tombs en a felonious churge instead of driving around New Yerk with the object In view of straightening out his crooked record if such a thing is possible. The law that makes this distinction favoring rich thieves is radically wrong. The man that steals millions should be placed at least en n level with the pick pocket who steals a wallet with an insig nificant sum. Ward's perfidy has robbed hundreds where the pick pocket robs but one. It is time te blot out the distinc tien between rich and peer thieves. A Pescmd Defeat. Mr. Blalne'ii canvnsa received a severe backBet yesterday, which was well mer ited. Ills managers, Jelm Stewart Included, muJt feel a little cheap. They showed a disposition te nvail themselves of the most disreputable agencies in order te win. In men of their charac ter this, In itself, does net reuse any sense of shame, but te be beaten at it covers them with discomfiture. It was it shrewd move of the shrewder leaders en the ether side te take a negre of fair stand lug, against the corrupt and mlldewed scalawag and carpet bagger selected by the Blaine managers. By tills means they get the floating Southern vote, which might otherwise have been he cured for Clayten. In the first skirmish Blalne was beaten. The field proved itself strong enough te de ttils, even with Legun'n forces helping Blalne. It does net fellow that the combinations formed will continue te the eud of the convention, but it ia very certain that Blalne has get a black eye und he hna new little mere chance than Authur. The situation is simplified te day by Gen. Sherman's peremptory refusal te jallew the use of his name, which was one likely te have been sprung upon the convention and which If agreed upon would have beaded a formidable ticket. Up may have taken himself out of the light by reason of his consideration for his brother Jehn, or he may really be averse te the duties of civil ofllce ; he is certainly net (It for them and he shows hlB wisdom in declining tiiem in ad vance. Almest any result Is yet possible at Chicago. It leeks ruinous for the grand old party when a resolution binding the delegates nt Chicago te support the nominee has te be withdrawn te save it from defeat. Tin: convention at Chicago tins taken another adjournment. Delays are dan gerousfer Mr. Blalne. . mm m Tin: young man with oye glasses has a front seat nt Chicago. If Blalne gets as many votes an he has tattoo marks, he will be doing well. It was a crafty sohemo en the part of the administration forces te make a negre temperary chairman of the national con vontien. He will be a geed enough " nlgger " until after the election.
