Nc Mnhou-Pcpular Enthusiasm in the
Fourth District.

Tho movement in the Fourth District Tor
tic election of MARTIN y. MCMAHON TO
Congress is going forward with zeal and
enthusiasm that leave no doubt rs to its
success. The most important interests and
the most influential citizens of tho district
arc declaring themselves in favor Of this gal
liant young patriot. Prom, ncnt among these
is the Irish Democratic Union, n body which
includes influential citizens of Irish origin,
the intrigucs of machine politicians and
who cannot be controlled by thc dictations
of wire pullers and party managers. This
Democratic Union has unanimously adopted
MCMAHON as its candidate for Congress,
and will give him q devoted and effective
support until he is declared elected.
At the same time, tho Republicans in the
dis,r ct are showing that they do not wish
to contend against this gallant young Dem
ocralic soldier, who has proved his devotion
to the country by risking his life on hun.
drel lnttlc.dclls. Col ETHAN ALLEN, the
candidate of one wing of the Republ can
rarity, lrs withdrawn from the canvass lie
is unwilling TO run against MCMAHON, and
though lie docs not 20 30 far as 20 recon.
mend his friends TO vote for him, because
party allegiance often prevents man from
expressing his wcrmcst personal sentiments,
still there is no de ubt that il is Col. ALIENS
judgment and the judgment of his friends
that il is best for all classes of citlons in the
district that MCMAuoS should be elected
They feel that, though a Jealous and uncom.
promising Democrat he is an honest man
and u truo patriot that lie will consent TO
no jols, and will never in any way tolerate
the betrayal Of the public welfare
The conservative wing OF the Rcpul lican
party las nominated DR.. PIERRE c. VAN
WICK, but he too has declined. lie knows
that there is no chance Of his election In.
deed, nc docs not now wish TO lc elected.
He sccs that the tide s setting with extra
ordinary force in favor of the almost unani.

Tue SUN. lie calls upon the Convention
which nominated him to be guided
by sonsc of duty to the country in
ull view of tho issue of the hour" This can
mean nothing else except that, in the judg-
mcnt Of Or. VAN WYCK-one of the most
experienced and judicious politicians of tho
city-thc people Of every class should com.
Linc TO c'ect MCMAHON, and break down the
despctifm Of machine politicians.
Now, let MoRGAN JONES, the candidate of
| Tammany Hall, aud ROBERT b. ROOSEVELT,
the candidate of the Democratic Union, also
stand aside, and call upon all their friends to
support the man of the people who has been
nominated by The Sun. What have they
to gain Ivy remaining any longer in the
| field They cannot be elected they can
only wage n hopeless and fruitlcss con
test. Let them, then, while there is an OPP
! Yortunity throw themselves heartily into
this great popular movement, and make the
| election # MCMAHON unanimous.

On the 1st inst. new measure was intro
duced into the postal system Of Great Britain

card, a piece Of card board ~ by SO inches.
Upon the fee of this card are engraved the
royal arms. hafpenny stamp in the right
hand upper corner, and the words 1.-THE address
only to be written on this side" The back Of
the card Is reserved for the contents Of the letter
to be written there Where the local mails arc
so enormously bulky and weighty as they are in
England, the saving in the cost Of transportation
alone viii be very important economy; and
the uniformity Of size and shepe of this new
post card must considerably diminish the cost
and labor Of distribution. The reduction OF
Gny per cent. in the charge Of inland postage
Tor these cards tTansmlssible all over the
United kingdomis bold one but RowLAND
lIlLL, the great apostle Of cheap postage, was
dcrdcd in his early days ~ an mpractcable
visionary. Tho only possible argument that
could be advanced against the new post card
would be that II can be read by persons other than
those to whom 1t Is addressed But kilograms
are liable to the same objection, and the labor
