horribly disappointed that neither of the
Gen"i,,;nate parties will put in a bid for
them. IL is a noticeable fact that after the
Greely fasco the liberals still continued TO
believe that the Government needed puri-
flying. but that it would have to be done
through the old parties. 1t is equally no.
ticabe that each individual Liberal, quite
as firmly believed that the party that could
hest rescue the Government from ruin was
the one that could and would give him Il
good, warm place. If he was in Repub-
lican district he believed the Republican
party to be the salvation Of the country,
and If III Democratic district, cjcc .yersd.
And in either case if he got his place, he
subsidet into as good a pa1tizan as you
ever saw. All that these blatherers want
is recognition, which is exactly what they
will moi get. They are not worth it,
THEDEMOCRACY
Of New Ork are in bad way. y por
ton OF them want Tilden for the Presiden
cy, on hard money platform, but unfor
tunately they feel that in the West there is
| a strong party in favor of imitation, which
would never forget the part he took last
| fall against Allen, but he was SD cold to-
ward him that he did him more damage
| than II he had actively opposed him. Still
! the Democracy of New York will present
TildeD, and trust to the power Of party
drill to whip i'll the malcOntents in the
! West and South. Tilden will 20 into the
( Democratic Convention with more money
! behind him than any candidate yet spoken
/ OF, and we all know what money means i'll
| a Democratic Convention. But he will not
| be nominated. The Democracy Of the ru-
! raj districts are suspicious OF the money
power of New York, AS they have a right
| TO be.
| THE REPUBLICANS
| Of the city were in favor, very strongly, Of
! Roscoe Conklin. But of late very strong
| feeling is showing itself for Bristow, the
! Secretary Of the Treasury. BristOw is
| making hosts of friends BY his vigorous
prosecution of the whiskey swindlers, and
every conviction that is procured sweeps
| him so much closer to the Presidential
chair. If he is the level headed man that
| his friends say he is, he stands very close
! to the head. II would be verv grateful 10
| the staunch Republicans of Kentucky to
| have one of their number 80 honOred, and
as the Secretary is showing his fitness to
| rule over few things, it is not Improbable
! that he may be called to rule over MANY.
| THE SPRING TRADE.
| The spring trade III this city is already
open, though the snow which put in al ap-
| pearance last night has given the fur-deal-
| ers few days OF grace. The large retail
| dealers have not time to stop to complain
of the times and | doubt if any of them
want TO. They have found the way to
abolish hard times by putting their goods
down to selling prices. They know exact.

| Stewart " Co. when questioned about the
| prospects iCT the season ahead, said thai

that last month theyshad sent out more
| goods Than ever before in the same time.

stand, this only applies to the very largest
OF the retailers-those whO have capita. tC

cream oft, for they can deal in such goods

alike. Al! except these are suffering. The
package trade last year. spite of the higt
postage was between 1900 and 20,00(
packages. 1t is astonishing how popular
this system OF sending goods is at the Far
