Itis now thought that Georgre Godfrey, the irrepressible Fiat-Money enthusiast, will be made the candi- date. Wiien Georwre was talked to on the sub- ject, he said: I shall not decline to accept the responsibility; if nominated I' shall stump the district, and speak in every, town and ward.

The Republican competitors are as Dllow: s For Sherifl, John E. Eldred and Peter Van Vechten. - Eldred will probably be nominated, andif elected Van Vechten will continue in his present place of Under-Sheriff. That is ot certain, but probable. Dr. C. J.

Dr. Palme has been a resident of the State for many years, formerly lived ut Watertown, and arterwards at Madison, from whence he removed to Milwaukee. He bos eldited the [lerold with tact, independence, and obility, and bas caroed any mark of favor which the: people may sec tit to bestow unon him. The oflice is worth 35,000 or $6,000 a year.

Work of the Resident and Absent Chi- ago Artists, The True Meaning of the Picture of Pliedra and @none, To the Editor of The Tribune. 7 CIIcAGo. Sep! —The article by Tne Tria- NE'S own art critic, bublished at the opening of the Exposition, was so full, so discrininatiiiz, and just, that it satisfied every demand of the hour. Nothing further occurred o .me, as a casual writer, for some time as inportant to be added. Before the days of McCormick, jn every ficld of grass there was one to * ralie after.” Should Lappear in what’ follows only to *rake after” iu the field of art, perchanse wisps of some.value may yet bc found. To begin wich, one word should be directed tothe management Of the Exhibition. It fs greatly to be wished that the rooiis in which the paintings are hung were more comfortable and better lighted. Another vear some neces- mprovements will have to be made, or the management will assuredly encounter much pupular dissatisfaction. Chairs_ and bench with cushious are indispensable in all the rooms. ‘Those astonishing contrivances for ventilating,—u sort of baru-door repeated many times in the bottom of thewalls,—that admit of blasts of wind from the alteys and areas, and blind one’s eyes with a flood of light dircetly under the paintings, will have to be closed up, and some otlier expedient devised. The Teeht from above is very defcctive; strong enough, perhiaps, if it were allowed to fall properly; hut the canopies are so worked that they oppress and cause u dazzling and a blur, ou the pictures. Besides, on days when gaslight is needed, gas should. be furnished, and it should be the duty of some oue in attendance tolet on the flow. The artists who contribute their works, and the publiciwho pay their money for viewing them, are cercanly entitled to far more cousideration than at present they are shown. ‘Those who have watched the growth of art in this city cannot have failed to be gratified at the increasing number of the candidates for hoo- ors. Well nigh a bundred are represenred in this exhibition. As the number is from time to to time added to, the chances rapidly im- prove of soou having some who command wide atteotion. ‘The works of our iome artists in this exhibition are not, it is a pleasure to say, of n Kind to be ashamed of. They are all respectable. Soime of them, indaeed, would be noticeable in auy zooa com- pany. i s plainly seen that the mouey which has been expended in providing new means of study, and in furpishinz the Academy, bas be- guu o have its influence. All good things come to a greut ity in time; therefore do not fear but we ghall soon bave a class of artists whose talents and skill will'help to swell the fame of Chicago, K Ishall not attempt to take in order any of the galleries, but sfwmply to give an opivion of several of the works, lound here and there, on the ditT t walls. B T AS YOU ENTER GALLERY A, to the right, is a pair of young dogs—the “Two Orpuans ” (283), by Mrs. 8. H. St. John. In color and texture, and entire naturalness, they are superior o any recent painting of dogs by Dolph. In her larzer work, ** My Dogs (235), sheis not so suceessful. Mr. Bizelow bas a good cxample, La Fayette Mountain ” (234). — His uintings are all of nearly equal merit. being uithful copics of actual scenes; to which cir- cumstance, indeed, they owe their chisf value. 1f you would have the farm on which you were born, or any v that was sweet Lo your ehild- hood, any nook that - held a mysiers, sny hill whose soft sides you used to cling to, auy mountain that once charmed your funey and exalted your uffections,—if any of those objects you would have, treated in a cor it somewhat prosaic, manuer, Jr. Bizelow a8 the first considérution. Jullus K. Sloan should have been represented by some of his fer cxamples, for while his merit may be more apparent aud tangible in his “ Moosilauke from the Counecticut ? (231), there is much sub- tle beauty and exquisite fineness iu his lesser canvases that is very charming and admirablie. **Watching and Waiting 7 (220), by Charles 8. Stobie, is sofine x work that it will undoubtedly draw to that roung artist the notice of conuoi: and that is al- seurs. It bas a meaning, ways a merit; there is a firmaoes of outline, and a simplicity n tne draperies, a truth of color, that makes this work very conspicuous.

In viewmng i, the spectator secins to stand about twenty fect from the altar, and every other view is cut off.

The e 4 and tracery in marble is beautifally imitated. It is a marvel of completeuess i a little space—six by ten inches. ‘The third small painting, “Canal and Iridsee ofthe Sword *?

There is much fine effect of licht and shude. * Ponte Veneta Marina” (209), a larre canvas, un- doubtedly pussesses superior merit. The Hanging Comunittee recoguized this when they geve it the place of honor in Gallery A. Venetian scenes arc always beautiful. it is not, and never will be, irue tbav they are worn out. “There, where the :most brilliant skies are ever to be seen. where the daylight is ever vurest, where the buildis and bridzes are in the highest sense picturesque, where waters are uever without a spurkle, will the artist of vrue feeliny in the future, as now and in the past, tind fitling subjects for his pewcil. Ocalists tell us that to no "two eyes sce ni just alike. And we know that no two persons sec the same beauties to the same degree in anything. 1t would thercfore he impossible for one artist of talent to auplicate the pictu; another artist, however uiligently e might study to do so. 1t this painting there is everythiug that the pecaliar features of the place and of the ctimate could furnisn, and treated in a fresh and original man- ner. There s no crowding of the parts. how- ever; all is open, light, and airy. 1o is rarely one eees better architectual work. From the sky lines, wineh are firm and bold, and sweep off erandly to a great distance, to the founda- tions of whole blocks, curves, and angles, moldings, balconics, awnings, and portivoes are either finely followed or solidly rendered— almost reproduced. A delizniful wellowness and richness of coloring, the same that time aud the climate give to edifices there, is intro- duced with a lavish brush. No one can fail to admire the freedom of haondlimg—it is masterly. A dozen fisures are lounging on the quay, and watching a gondolier in his slender craft. It is a mere shell, and sits on the water as lizhtas a feather. A grand thing is the vesscl that oceupies the ceutre of the pict- ure. Its movement is truly majestic; and there is a1 wonderful besuty in the sails. The sun- Tight sparkies on the water, the sky overhead is fult ot noonaay splenaor. In the distance is the dim outline of rows of buildings, nd of the San Georgia tower. THE LEADING ATTRACTION of the exhibition is still Phiedra and (Enone (216), by Cabanel, loaned by Mr. L. Z. Leiter. "his is the first painting by this artisc that bas been exhibited here, except one or two portrails last year. No artist paints a style more en- tirely his own, and few styles are more pleas- ing for femnale subjects. But it is not alto- gether to admire the tone of this work that crowds stand before it daiiy. ““What is it and *“What does it mean?? are the questions continually asked. ‘Ine description in the catalogue ‘is misleading. I do not know its author, but it is evident that he bad recourse to some " encyelopedia, and finding_there that Racine composed a trazedy upon Phiedra, and that in this version of the story she dies by poison, he jumped. to the conclu- sion, as she is painted Iying on ber couch, that therefore she is dving by poison. It is safe to say that, takine that as the idea of she picture, the artist has utterly failed to carry it out. Taking that view ef it the picture is valueless. But the case is quite different. Racine’s trazedy was professedly little more_than an adaptation for the Frencli stage from Euripides. But in Euripides Phwedra hangs herself; and in this particular most authoritics agree with him, or, at any rate, do not meution poisoning. The Frenchman knew that the patrous of his play would uot tolerate the hanging of a beautt- ful woman before their _very eyes, and 50 introduced poisoning. For the “purposes of this conteution, the mauncr of her death is of nu consequence; nor is it, I conceive, of mucli consequence in any of the versions of the story. The passion of love, illeritimate but involun- and unconguerable, that possesses Pha- dra’s soul, forms the whole interest; she nearly, indeed, eeases to interest and excite compas- sion the moment she resorts to the halter, or, if that be preferred, to poison. Adopting -this view of the subjcet, it is casy to grasp the painter’s ideay and, when once it is cowmpre- hended, how beautiful . the painting appears! The art_employed upon it is of a very high order. ‘These are the outlines: Venus, jealous of Diava, towhom Uippolytus, Phedra’sstepson, was_devoted, sought 11ippolytus’ ruin by inspi .« his stepmother with passion for bim. plot is perfect, and it succeeds. ** Venus lights the fatal flame,” and Piiedra’s cruel sulferings begin.
