able editorials. Schell's “was in ‘the calm, dignified, conservative style peculiar to the East, where time has sobered us, and where the true editor reads a chapter of Adam Smith with. the morning omelet. Watterson’s speech was in the Western vein, bright, cor- uscating, piquant, as if he did not exactly mean it—characteristics, we may observe, of the mighty journals which flourish on the ‘prairies. We congratulate the press that our two brethren behaved so well. We would much rather have editors stay away from these places and reniain at home with the trusty scissors; but if they will go to conventions may all honors fall upon them, and may they bear their honors as meekly as Watterson and Schell.

A Proroatat Canvass.—The success of Mr. Tilden as a candidate for the Presi- dency is a triumph of pictorial art. Mr. Blaine’s friends ran into the canvass with all the correspondents in his favor. They wrote long articles in his interest, worked up ‘‘onthusiasm”—but it tailed. Mr. Tilden’s friends went into the pictorial line, They sent Uncle Sammy’s picture to all the sountry papers, with brief, modest biogra- phies, showing his descent from Oliver Crom- well. The pictures won, and we shall no doubt have a_ pictorial — canvass. All of this shows a discerning mind on the part of those who managed ‘the Gov- ernor’s canvass. Country editors might have written column after column—as they did about Blaine—but every one can under- stand a picture, while many, especially in this warm weather, will not care to read a long article. ‘Tilden’s managers have shown the value of the picture as a method of po- litical advertising.
