the downfall of Messrs. Packer and Pendieton
ON the contrary, we heartily rejoice over It

them. Fancy telling rejected lover that MS

FORWARD. NEW- YORK!

The October Elections have been held and
the results are ascertained. The Democrats,
having nothing to lose, very plausibly calcu-
lated that they must gain. This being the odd
year in politics, when neither President nor
Congress is chosen, and when the vote is nat
urally light they saw no reason why they
should not do at least as well as two years
ago, when they carried their State Ticket in
Pennsylvania and both branches of the Legis-
lature in Ohio, while Gen. Hayes was chosen
Governor by barely 1888 majority over can
didate not nearly so popular as Mr.. Pendleton.
And as the Republican party had, by the
XVIII Amendment, just been placed squarely
and unequivocally on the platform Of Impair
tial Suffrage in every State, North as well as
South, they had reason to suppose that they
could make capital out of this fact, as they
had just done in California.
They enjoyed many incidental advantages
Gov. Geary, whether justly or unjustly, was
exceedingly unpopular with the politicians of
Pennsylvania. The friends of exGov. Curtin
"a body of the best workers in the State-in-
sisted that they had been jockeyed by him
that he had prevented the selection Of their
chief for Cabinet position. The last Legis-
lature was rotten through and through; and
the stencil of its corruption affected mainly the
Republicans, because they were the majority.
Gen. Grant had made some unfit Revenue ap-
pointments and others which, though fit, were
decidedly unpopular. Intellectually and morally,
we Judge that his nominees were generally
above the average; but politically they were in
good part of no account whatever. The men
who had made the Republican party, and at
length won over the State to its faith, were
rarely recognized or considered and the new
Federal officers, with few notable exceptions
ranged as politicians all the way from good
for-nothing to deadbeat inclusive.
Mr.. Packer, like Mr.. Pendleton, had been
earnestly pressed for President in the last
Democratic National Convention. He has
achieved q great success in amassing wealth,
and is very widely and intimately connected
with the vast and powerful business operations
Of the Coal region. He is by the far the richest
man in the State, and it was presumed that
he would "shell out" at least one of his
Twenty Millions to secure his election. We
are not sure that he proved o strong can
didate; but he certainly looked strong
when nominated. On the other hand,
Gen. Geary was VIGOROUSLY weaker
than any other Republican who could
have been selected. He was smirched, how
ever unjustly, by some of the corrupt jobs
nut through" the late Legislature, just as

pertinent with interest, feeling that the result
will amply Justify their sagacity and hberality


Mr.. Richard Grant White has resumed III
The GALAXY his discussion Of the Drama OF the
Period, and brought his pen once more to the
rescue of insulted beauty. The tendency OF
the age, he believes, is to the gradual but not
very slow extinction of the drama as an intel
lectual entertainment; and for the future he
foresees but two popular classes of plays, as
representatives of which we may take The
"White Fawn and "Formosa." That Mr.. White,
a scholar, and in private life we are sure
gentleman of taste, really watches the decay
of legitimate art with satisfaction we do not,
of course, suppose; but he hardly makes
secret of the pleasure with which he antici-
pates the coming carnival of Leg and the per-
maneut establishment of an entertainment
which offers as its attractions "the enjoyment
" of fun and the sight Of beauty" without
"hypocritical pretense of any kind either in
"the way of art or of morality" There is moth
ing in the world, says British critic, quite so
clean as an English maiden-except, we might
add, Mr.. Richard Grant White. But, unfor-
tunately, the majority of mankind have not 80
thoroughly preserved their innocence, and there
are consequently sensible people who DO not
like immodesty or vulgarity, or nasty STORIES
even when illustrated by lavish display OF
the female person.

The Committee of Congress which is inquiring
into the cause of the prostration OF our ship
ping interests is, from the necessity of the
case, obliged to take the views of gentlemen
to whom shipping is paramount to all other
considerations. We are not surprised, there
fore, to find ship-builders recommending as a
remedy for the present state of things a sub
ordination of all other branches of industry
to the particular one by which they earn their
bread, removal of the tariff on foreign iron,
and an abrogation of the Internal Revenue tax
upon that of American manufacture. What we
need to revive the shipping interest, said Mr..
Rowland, yesterday, is to take the duty off
iron land make the Pennsylvania people come
down in their prices" What the effect of
this policy would be upon the general industry
of the country, Mr.. Rowland probably did not
stop to consider. The Committee does well,
however, to encourage free expression of
opinion perhaps after awhile it may arrive
at more satisfactory propositions than any that
have been laid before it yet.

DIR SENATOR'S.

SIGIsMUND KAUFMAN, the Republican can.
didate for Senator in the lid District, is an
intelligent and leading German Republican
but these are among the least of his common
dations to public favor. He is an honest, ca
pable, deserving citizen, whom the people
know, and who will surely be elected if the
other Republicans of the District, will make q
hundredth part the sacrifice in working fol
him that he makes in consenting to run. His
competitor, Pierce, has such q record, and is
mixed up in 80 many jobs, that Kauffman's
election is sure if the voters come out aud the
votes are honestly counted.
JOHN Oakley, the Republican candidate in
the Hid District crest of Kings County, is a
good and true man, who stands a fair
chance. There is to be q smashing of old
crockery over in Kings this Fall.
The nominations of n. d. LABAU in the
XVIth (Essex,) of FREDERICK p. ROoT in the
XXVIIIth (Monroe) and of Gen. JAMES
WoOD, jr., in the XXXth Uivingston) District,
are each and all good. Mr.. Labau has served
with credit in either branch of the Legislature,
where he evinced ability, integrity and indie
pendence, that we are glad the State is not to
lose. Mr.. Root is a farmer, unknown at Al
bany, but who has been several years Super
visor of his town and Chairman of the County
Board. He is very highly regarded by those
who know him. Gen. Wood served CALAMITY
in the War for the Union, and will prove a
strong candidate as well as an honest legis-
lator. We congratulate the district on his
nomination.
Not one of the Republican Senators who
helped Tweed pass his reduced Tax-Levies
last Session has been renominated-not one
who was even suspected of being willing to
vote for those Levies at any price-while of
the twenty Republican Assemblymen who voted
for Hodges full-blown atrocity not more than
four even pretend to have achieved renomi-
nation. The rest have gone under to stay
not even bubble indicating the spot where
they went down. Can you imagine that their
successors will not mark and profit by the ad-

Two letters which we print this morning
from well-informed correspondent in Chi
cago show an aspect of the young Western
metropolis which is not often presented to the
world. We all know that Chicago is mighty
in her elevators, tunnels railways, lotteries,
grain corners, and plank sidewalks; but
how few are aware of the literary treasures
which her rich citizens have collected in the
leisure moments of their hurried lives, or the
enormous business in books which is trans
acted in her shops every day! 1t is not too
much to say that her wholesale trade in litera-
ture fairly rivals her trade in breadstuffs.

Mr.. Colfax's speech to the Mormons is one
of the most refreshing bits of eloquence from
the lips of an American political man that
we have read for many a year. 1t is quite
contrary to custom for an official parsonage
to go into a public meeting and tell
his hearers that they ought to be ashamed of
themselves; but this is just what Mr.. Colfax
did, and we presume the MOrmons never
before in their lives heard the iniquity of
their system so plainly denounced. The speech
was certainly, in the Mormon view, not
such an one as becomes genteel good man
"ners," but it appears to have been heard
respectfully, and perhaps it may do the peo-
pie of Salt Lake some good. At any rate, its
example will be good for the public speakers
generally of the United States.

il little less than four thousand. The Re-
publican State ticket in Ohio is elected
by about ten thousand majority, as previously
reported. The political complexion of the Leg
islature will depend upon the position which
may be assumed by the Republican Senators
and Representatives elected upon the Reform
or fusion ticket in Hamilton County. The
Legislative ticket in that county was made up
half of Democrats and half of Republicans.
If the Republicans thus elected act with the
Republican party, then we have a majority in
both branches of the Legislature.

GRANT AND THE GOLD GAMBLERS.


| During the excitement following the defeat
of the late conspiracy in Wall-st. to put up
| the price of Gold, and at a time when very
vague insiRuations were thrown out In IRE
| sponsible quarters concerning the alleged COM
plcity of some member of the Administration,
MIR. Robert Bonner wrote to Gen. Grant, ask
| ing him to make brief denial over his own
" signature of all foreknOwledge of the Gold
combination, in order to relieve himself en-
trely from all responsibility for the acts Of
Others Mr.. Bonner added that Those who
knew Gen. Grant personally required no dis
claimer but the great public, whose minds
| were liable to be warped by the determined
and persistent efforts to injure him, would be
at once satisfied and quoted by such state
ment The President replied in tho following
letter, which is published with the one that
drew it OUT in this weeks number OF The
Ledger:
WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 10, 1885,
ROBERT BONNER, ESQ.,: Dear Sir-YOur favor
of the 18th inst is received. i have never
thought of cOntradicting statements or insinua-
tiOns made against me by irresponsible parties
as those are alluded to in your letter; but as
you have written to me on the subject, In so
kind spirit, | will say that had no more to
City than yourself, or any other innocent party,
except that ordered the sale of gold to break
the ring engaged, as i thought, in most dis.
reputable transaction. If the spectators had
been successful you would never have heard of
any one connected with the Administration as
being connected with the transaction. Yours,
truly, U. >. GRANT.
PSI have written this in great haste, and
without exercising judgment as to the proprle-
ty of writing it. but l submit it to your judg-
ment. U. D. G.
Nothing prevents this letter from being
thoroughly admirable save the fact that there
was no occasion for it. The insinuation that
the President was in collision with the Gold
gamblers never had fact to lift it above the
level of audacious calumny or motive save
the coarsest sensationalism or clumsy ma
Lightly. There was a combination to put Gold
up. When it assumed dangerous proportions,
Gen. Grant interfered and crushed it. There
upon he is charged with having been MEM
Der of it !
The Country knows its President to be inca
pable of such conduct. IL it did not, it would
still be able, in so plain case, to reason that
men are not secretly seeking that which they
openly, determinedly, and effectively destroy.
BY their fruits ye shall know them.
