The Presidential situRtion-What VIII the
Democrats Doe

The Presidential situation-what WIN the
Democrats Doe
II is to be hoped that the various groups Of
democratic leaders, though favoring in q spirit
of party loyalty several men identified with
the past history Of the democracy, win take
cognizance of the general sense of the country
and will not let their several predictions
stand in the way of a nomination so evidently
acceptable to the whole mass of the people as
to give high promise Of success. Senator
Hendricks is great favoritc in certain circles,
Mr.. Seymour in others, and Mr.. Pendleton is
pressed with peculiar energy by many ad-
mirers, while the names of Generals Hancock
and Mcclellan keep in view constant posi-
bilities. But the effort to force any of these
on the democratic convention will surely
excite that very spirit that has always been
the ruin of the democracy-that spirit which
threatens il with the only danger II has to face
in this contest. Democracy has only to fear the
intense, almost blind and unreasoning loyalty
Of cliques to some central figure in each
Democratic strength seems always to organize
the masses are peculiarly ready to act on the
indications Of dominant intellect-and this,
as ii gives the control always to the best brain
in given circle, is an advantage but pushed
too far IL has vicious tendencies; for the innu-
merable circles eventually refuse to see any
great man but their own, who looked at
from distance, may he very little
they become absorbed in the pecu-
liar purposes and ambitions OF one
man; they lose the large sympathy that
would keep them in harmony with great
national tendencies, lose the party will alto
gether, and are so rcsolutely earnest to push
the fortunes Of the chief they stand by that
they can understand nothing a. defeat but
what defeats him, and nothing as victory but
the one he wins.
Are the adherents OF Pcndlciou. Seymour.
Hendricks, Hancock and Mcclellan now in
this positionp Are they so wrapped up in the
fortunes of these respective candidates that
they care not who wins if these are beaten? Is
each circle indifferent to whether the party
wins or loses II IL cannot win under the leader

New York tho Centre Of the World.
Everything points to the future greatness
and controlling influence of New York as the
centre Of the world. The rapid development
OF commerce and intercourse with the nations
Of Europe on one hand, and with the teeming
populations of Asia on the other, win make the
United States the highway of trade for both
the Eastern and Western hemispheres. Within
two years one Pacific railroad at least will be
completed, and in the course Of a few years
several others. The travel and large part Of
the most valuable trade with China and the
other nations of Eastern Asia, both for our
selves and Europe, will pass across the Ameri-
can Continent, and New York will he the gate
Of ingress and egress on this side, as San Fran
cisco will be on the other side. The time from
Europe to China this way will be little over
month, and from New York less than month.
communication with Asia by way Of Alaska
and the Aleutian Islands, as we now have with
Europe through the Atlantic cable. In fact, it is
impossible to imagine the wonderful results that
must flow from the progress Of these events and
the age. New York, consequently, is destined
to be the greatest city on the globe and the
financial and intellectual centre of the world.
We shall see too, great changes in the city
ITSELF The island will be covered from the
Battery to Spuyten Duyvil creek with popula-
ton; the Park will be surrounded by
palatisl residences and terraces; Washington
Heights will be the site Of magnificent villas,
and the centre of financial business and bank
ing will leave the cramped locality of Wall
street and be established round the City Park,
City Hall and new Post Office. These, how
ever, are but . few of the changes and vast
improvements we may expect within the life
time of the present generation. Our citizens
and the people of the United States may well
look with pride upon the grand future of this
beautiful metropolis; for it is bound to eclipse
all the cities of ancient or modern times.
