The IVmoerats of this State held their Convention at YViiliamsr.ort Wedliesdj.v of last Week. There was iio contest over the nominations exivpt for one of the ltlaecs on the judicial ticket, and that was settled on the h-c-md ballot.

Like the iiomiuuiiouof Mr. Singcrly for (iov--rnor last year, we presume it is ac vptcd "for the gnd of the party." Iu these days of IkkhIIc jKilitics the disinterestedness of these distinguishi-d p-ntleiiieu is most charming.

The five were Howe, Wheeler, Wilson, ranger atul f! rover, and they were nil New Knglaud men, except Singer. Those live men introduced the sewing machine, creating enormous wealth lure and in Kuropo, and gained for themselves ill the aggregate more than $V.i.a!!i,n as their hare of that wealth. Singer was the richist, Howe was sometimes rich and sometimes -nilarrasM-d, and U rover, who was one of the richest, but not the young est of the group, is the last of them to pass away. At the coming XovoiiiIkt election ovcn judges of the new Sujierior Court will le chosen. 1m-i voter will oast a lutllot for only six candidates, thus as suring the election of fix judges of the majority and one of the minority p.:r ty in the State, lloth parties have full tickets in the field, so that it is assured that the full ltrty ticket w ill le eleet h! and tine of the minority. As a matter of course, the six Republican andidates will lie elected and one IV-m-Tat w i I ivrtainly le sueo-ssful. Who tiiat one iK'tiKx-rat will lie creates the only doubt iu the -ampaign, ami the principal battle will Ik1 among the six IVmoonuic candidates for this posi tion. It is as plain as the nose 011 a man's face that the Republicans will not only elect their own six candidates, but will also determine the succ-ssful Demo cratic candidate. It is to n presumed that the Democrats will ioll a solid vote for their entire ticket, and it is equally 2'resumable that each IV1110 enitie candidate will nxvive Ropuhli can voU-s from personal friends iu his section of the State, therefore the Dem ocrat who receives the greatest 1111111 br of II 'paWiein votes w ill lie the winner. There is an effort In ing made lo create the impression that owing to late party strife, the leaders of the "combine" will strike at a portion of the ticket and defeat it. Apart from the fact that this is a mere baseless conjecture is the further undeniable fact that ail if the judicial candidates Were the selection of (lovornor Hast ings and ti,. leaders of the Combine ami it is not within the Uiuuds of probability that these gentlemen, hav ing secured the nomination of their own friends would turn around and cut their throats out of sheer .spite lie cause they were nominated without opposition iu a convention dominated by the friends of Col.

Ten or twenty thousand Itepublican votes, more or i less, may secure the e'eotion of one of he Democratic candidates, but can iu no event defeat any member of the Republican, ticket As we said before, the struggle will be bet ween the Dem ocratic candidates, and the one who secures the greatest number of Repub lican votes will to a certain t v be elect-ed- WEPNKSUAY September IS. 15 Watterscm and the Tresidcut.

It is not pertinent co inouirc specifically aliout these "vexa tious shortcomings" of the President "chiefly cnilwirrassing to those who are associated with him." Colonel Watterson has not changed his opinion aliout the iinossibility of a third term Tor . rover Cleveland. He refers to the Republican convention of lS.sfl, and says: Th nrant failure in 1NM1 rave the coup de gnu to the third-term fantasy. Tiie scheme was admirably laid ana lril liantly led. There had Wn an interven ing Presidential term. C.enend Crsnt had made a tour around the world, roeciv- ed everywhere with distinction. His return was marked by an ovation. 11 is followers were enthusiastic and valiant. His claims w ere set forth matchlessly. Not Leonidas and his :m Spartans and TtiO Thespians, standing in the 1 liermop- ylae Pass against Xerxes and his army, made a mere heroic stand than Koscoe Conkling and his 3 al Chicago. They went dow n in the convention against a -orl,t of adroit nolitical maneuver and skilksl parliamentary stnitegy. ltut, had thev succeeled there, they would have gone down K-fore the universal and ineradicable opposition of the people to any violation of the example set by Washington. Colonel Watterson concludes that when as jmpular a leader as Urant could not be nominated b a convention "that wanted to nominate him." it w ill le foolish for any one to seriously consider the los- Ml.ility of a third term for -Mr. I levelan.l. The voters of this country do not regard any one man as necessary to the li(o of the Republic, ami they will never have a third-term President. It does not follow , however, that Mr. Cleveland sees this as well as do the people, or that w ith his patronage he may not control the next l.-ui K-ratie convention and secureanolher nomination. The majority of Iieinocrats did if want him nominated in 1'C, and it was the result of fear of Senator Hiil more than love of Cleveland. It may "no tried again with the patronage lever to hi.lp the President make the national oii vention next year low to his w ill as he has made State conventions Kw to it this year. Inter 0.r!.

A Wild Negro Captured. New Oulk ns, Sep:. 11. A wil l ncgio was captured yesterday by a jiarty of hunters le i by Mr. JiSph llossier, at Sell w rig's Iike, tif.eeu miles from linsse Tts-h. The country is a wild cane brake, only occasion-ally visited by hun- l' rs. The negro caj'tured was entirely undo, and almost cohered with masses f white moss, lie was takca for a wild lK-ast at first and was treed. It was then discovered that ho was a human leiiig, and after considerable effort he was lassoed, dragged from tho tree and overjioivered, although he fought like a lig.-r. He was apj.iircntly i."i or 7u years old, with ling white bushy hair and lieard, and sh.r.vtsl his ts.-th every now and Iheii like a wild bea-t. Ho was tillable to sjieak. When bmught to Irosse Tech ho was identified by a iiiiiiiIkt of citizens as Iian Smith, a slave w ho ran away from the Itossier plantation thirty-live years ago, ln-ingthen thirty ye;trs of age. In his earlier davs he was seen in the woods. but no attempt win ma le to cajiture him, as it was thought ho would come home. but for the jiast thirty years no one has seen him. The swamji or cano brake iu whk-h he liveil covered several hundred square miles, but it is a mystery how he es caped notice, and what ho did during high water, w hen all this region is flood ed. Iiuaaitv is a Charoh. Ci.avsvili.k, Pa., Sept. lo. Iii the I'ni ed Presbyterian church to-day Michael l'.iggens, a Catholic, w ho has a grudge against the Woodburu family and be lieves that one of the Woodburu girls haunts him with unearthly powers, stepped across the church to tho seat of the Woodburu family and demanded in loud tones from tho head of the house that ho free him from his present torment. The congregation all looked back at the proceedings in iiiiin.?:noiit, and Mr. Woodhurn ph-a.led w ith him to let him alone, as In; was iu chur.-Ii, but nil in vain. r.iggcRs laid hold of Woodhurn w ith violence, and it required the assist ance of three men to jul him out of tho church. Children s.-r"l:iied, woinoit fainted, and for aw bile there was great excitement. After I'.ig.-iis was ejected from the church he w as taken dow n town by friends, w ho jiersu .dcd him to leave for his home, one mile from town, which he did. This is not the first tine" he has at tempted this in the church, but after this the matter w ill be i.M.ked into and the man w ill jirokibly be taken up and giv en in charge cfa-i in- me asylum.

My observation b ads use to l.eiit vethat farmcis lo not exercise the same caution iu ha'idling f.,11 apples tint they do in the case of w inter varieties. Many seei.i to have an idea that they w ill not keep long anyway, and so they are thrown in to the wng n and hustled otf to town as soon as jtossihlc. I have seen the Canto use or Snow brought into market this fail iu such a damage 1 c nditi-in that it w as impossible t,, keep linen but a few days, when they should keep until the holi days, even iu our warm climate.- on the other hand, I have seen tho Oolden Sweet, a summer variety, on exhibition in Novemlier. These were kept in an or dinary cellar, but they had not been bruised by t-arcluss handling. The best keejiiug ajiplcs w e have will remain in good tsindttieti but a short time after they have lifri-n bruised. Then the degree of maturity at the time of picking will have much to do with kr-ejung qualities. An ajijile should lie mature but not rire w hen it is juekod, if it is to keeji for any considerable time. The jirocess of ripen ing is only the first stage of decay, an I if this is allowed to continue before pick ing until theapnle is ripe, that is, until it les)mes iuel!o'v, this breaking down process has jiroceeded so far th.it it is very ditlictilt to arrest. As soon, therefore, as th?sieni will seji.irate readily from its union w ith the branch, the upjde is sulli ciently mature to kcej well. In the case of early apples, however, there is another clement w hich enters in to the j.rohieiii viz.: llavor.
