Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
New YORK, Oct. IA, 1S6S.-The politi-
cal excitement of the day surpasses that OF
the preceding day, and has no more to go
on, Rumors abound, but are idle to re-
capitulaie. This is certain; If Mr.. Bel
mont has circular he has yet 10 issue 1t.
IL Mr.. Seymour is willing TO retire. the
public has yet TO learn it. II Frank Blair
has succumbed 10 the pressure, New York
does not know It.
/ An editorial in the World, obviously
leveled at Frank Blzir's position, is only
pertinent BY what il calls for, not BY what
IL intimates. After talking Of the folly OF
attempting 10 squelch the multiplying
Radical misrepresentation, il declares:
"rhe public mind is educated quickly
BY eveats, slowly by arguments. What is
needed is some event of such nature that
no voter in the United States can ignore
it; of such insignifcance that it can by no
possibility be misinterpreted. This re-
quires something Of the boldness OF great
soul, equal to the demands Of great
emergency. OF the two or three ways IN
which this may effectually be done, we do
not feel called npon 10 particUlarize any,
for the individuals are very few IN whose
hands the remedies lie, and the remedies
are not SO reconcile as to need any ghost
from the other world to reveal what they
are. 1t is obvious enough what they are
not. There is nothing to be gained by the
ipcessant and endless contradiction by our
party organs of ealumny which the Re
publican organs will repeat faster than we
can print the contradictions, which never
reach their readers. There are individuals
who can extinguish this calumny in mo-
ment and silence it forever, end this must
be done if we are to win the election. This
is time for plain talk, and we trust we
have spoken intelligibIy enough for those
whom it most concerns, to take our mean
ing"
These consequential implications puzzle
all, and enlighten noEe- 1t is believed
they will crop out in important action, oil
snuff out in utter fzzle by Monday oil
Tuesday. The Radical press here are in
plain ignorance of the portent of this talk
and not unnaturally merely ridicule II
construe it to mean Chase and Adams, anc
declare it to be hollow, delusive and SURF
to fail. They evidently are waiting to SCI
more light. The news-market is flooded
with canarts, but they all agree that Chas'
is playing the Barkis' role of "willin."
