Mr.. DoRsHEIMER, candidate for Lieut.
Governor on the Democratic State ticket
OF New York, MET with the Liberal con
vennon last week, and expressed his
views as follows; gs.o . Il.
He said he was a Liberal. He was
one Of those who originated the move
ment in 1872 which led to the Cincinnud
Convention. He drew up the letter
which was signed BY Mr. Greeley and
others. He favored the combination Of
the Opposition in 1879, and was in favor
ofthe same course now. The platform
adopted at Syracuse ehunciated the same
principles as were put forward in that
adopted by the Cincinnati Convention.
In one respect the Democratic platform
was an improvement on that adopted at
Cincinnati, in fayoring free trade. He
was in favor OF the lowest tariff consist
ent with the production of a revenue
sufficient to maintain and carry on the
Government. The present tariff was
absolutely hurtful to some kinds of man
ufactures, and was certainly productive
of great harm to the agricultural and
laboring portions Of the population. His
name was placed on the ticket without
any solicitation on his part. 1t was
brought before the Convention by
friends, andhe was probably selected by
reason Of the locality where he resided.
The candidate for Governor living IN
New York City, the next name on the
ticket would, in accordance with usage,
be selected from the interior or western
part of the State. If western man had
been nominated for Governor, Liberal
from New York City would probably
have been given the second place. He
considered himself still in full accord
with the Liberals. He was presented to
the Convention as a Liberal, by Liber-
al, and the nomination was accorded to
him as one Of the representatives Of that
organization. He had gone before the
Liberal Republican State Central Com
mittee that afternoon and explained his
position. With reference to the question
Of the Liberal Convention, accepting
either ticket, he thought it would be as
well for It to meet and adjourn without
acting upon either leaving it to the
members Of the organization to vote for
whichever candidate they pleased. This
he believed to be the feeling Of the ma
iority of the leaders Of the organization.
He thought the prospects were bright for
the success Of the Democratic ticket.

III. V. r." the intelligent travelling
correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
anereiaL. writes from Chattanooga. Sep
tember Io, doleful account of Republi-
can prospects in Tennessee. He says
frankly that Congress in needlessly fore
ing Civil Rights bill on the South, has
"caused a stampede Of white men from
the Republican ranks" Men who had
always been friends of Grant and the
Republican organization are disgusted
at this distasteful measure. OF its effect
in Tennessee, he says that it will de-
feat every candidate in the State ex-
cept one (Butler), and that he is likely
to escape defeat by his open-mouthed
opposition to the Civil Rights bill-tha
ifhe was suspected of being in its favor he
would be beaten, although his district
gave him three thousand majority two
years ago.

GEN. w. T. SHERMAN has published
in the A,my and Navy Journal the
concluding chapter of his forthcoming
memoir of the events of the war. 1t is
devoted to the military lessons growing
out of the war, andamong the Generals
conclusions are the following: The men
who voluntarily enlisted at the outbreak
of the war were the best soldiers, better
than the conscript, and far better than
the bought substitute; increased monthly
payment to soldiers is more economical
than large bounties; the greatest mistake
of the war was in raising new regiments
instead of filling up the vacancies in the
old ones, because 500 men added to an
old and experienced regiment are more
valuable than 900 men in the form Of a
regiment; the German method Of re-
cruiting is simply perfect.

The general opinion seems to be there
will not be 50 tight a money market this
fall as is sometimes known at this sea
son. Chief among these reasons IS the
absence Of the usual supply Of new ems
terprises requiring large amounts OF
capital. 1t is always 70 be remembered
that the country constantly grows in real
wealth, even in the midst Of a panic.
We have been growing the past year,
and there is surplus wealth tObe invest
ed. Also there is larger supply of
money, or what passes for such. As
there are few new railroads and few new
factories, as well as few speculative en-
terprises (Which are not now very poPu-
lar) the employment of money is likely
to be less than usual even with the same
amount Of legitimate business.
owe enjoyed uninterrupted good
for several years up to last September,
without averting the calamites of COM
mercial panic, caused BY bad curren-
cy. A rapid movement Of the wheels Of
commerce does make the use Of money
so much more valuable that there is an
effect similar to that Of contraction. But
on the other hand the vicious currency
system compels US to conduct all ouI
business transactions at disadvantage
deprives us of the profits on our pur'
chases and sales abroad, and both drains
us of what little hard money we have
and renders us less able to recover il

prosperity may not be of a character to
prepare JUS now, or at any future time
for a return to the only sound basis Of
business. For that something else than
business activity is needed.

compliments the Democracy Of Ohio;
After many years Of undisputed sway,
the Republican party Of Missouri was
beaten two years ago byia majority of
about $4,000. In Consequence of this
defeat, Il is now proposed by thervery
men who did most to bring il about
that the party shall disorganize and. dis
solve itself. For fifteen years the Dem
ocratic party of Ohio went to the polls
every second Tuesday in October to meet
with inevitable defeat, the only question
being whether the majority against it
should be 10000 or, as on one occasions,
IoI 900. It fought against odds until it
overcame them, and last year it elected
one of its Oldest representative men by
handsome majority. II its leaders had
been the ofiee-loving crew who con-
troll the Republican party Of Missouri, it
is safe to say that there would not have
been such thing as a Democratic par
ty in Ohio since 1860. s'4 e11H
