POLITICS.

The Republican State Central Committee
Of New York have some hope OF carrying
the State The committee are zealously Ut
work, determined to secure the legislature,
even though Tilden, by virtue of the fraud
ulent vote always to be expected in the city,
carries the State The best Democrats CT
this city are hoping for the defeat of the
Democracy in Ohio and Pennsylvania, Tor
they ioresee trouble that will certainly come
upon the country in the event Of the success
OF the party in those States upon initiation
platforms. If Ohio and Pennsylvania go
Democratic this fall, nothing under heaven
can prevent the next national Democratic
convention from making initiation and repu-
diation the chief plank in its platform
Hence, the Democratic business men Of the
city desire Republican successes in those
States.
The action of the Republicans in Massa-
chusetls gives general satisfaction to the Re-
publicans here With Massachusetts,, Ohio,
and Pennsylvania in line, the question as to
which party will elect the next President il
settled The Republicans of New York feel
very confident that, as against imitation and
reputation, they can carry even New York
easily Consequently they arc III BoO1
spirits. and vii! so continue. even though
slippery Tilden slides into the gubernatorial
char this fall.
Business continues tolerably brisk. Olaf
lin, the great jobber OF dry goods, made one
very heavy clearing out sale Of calicoes at
figures a long way below anything ever
heard Of in the market, and other big opera
tons are reported but as the goods were
sold at or below the cost of production, it is
evident that they were sales forced to realize
upon too heavy stocks. Nevertheless, the
falls trade has thus far been better than
either OF the two preceding years, and those
who watch the markets have faith that it
will continue fairly good until long into the
winter The merchants are selling very
closely, bat they will get out whole

Blsques, jackets and dolmans axe all cut
long in front and short upon the back.
Cloth clOaks take that form also. probably
to prevent interference with the drapery
which is massed at the back Of the skirt.
This popularity came in with the dolman
and belongs to it, though the difference be-
tween the depth at the back and front was
much less marked when it first appeared
than now.
Cloth jackets are otherwise plainly but
closely cut. well shaped to the figure and
accompanied by coat sleeves neatly shaped to
the frm The feature Of them is the trim
ming, which consists of Tilan or plated
hraids of different widths and different
styles combined most effectively. Last win
ter the Trimming was composed of the pip
ings and folds OF heavy black silk, but the
combinations Of braids were striking with
out being at all offensive to good taste. The
narrow width braids are often formed by a
succession of loops, and are enclosed in
rows of the wider braids, which are fiat.
The basques of dresses when not Of the
cuirasse form are cut deeper in front than
at the back. but the plain cuirasse being
unobtrusive is a better permanent form.
Evening and opera clOaks assume the dbl
man for the circular form. The circular,
however, is principally confined to silk
eloaks and Scotch wraps, the latter, which
are in dark blue and green cloth bordered
with deep woollen fringe matching the col
ors, aud lined with scarlet or black, are ex-
ceedingly useful both for day AM evening
wear.
Rich white opera elOaks are made OF
thick silk in the dulman style, wadded and
lined with white satin. Trimmings Of plait.
ed silk braid of white passmentene cords
and tassels are newer than fringe or em-
broidery, though Of eourss these can be
fashionably worn.

before passing to the consideration OF
the possibility OF an explanation.
