Mr.. Carl Schurz last night commenced
his labors in this State by addressing
mass meeting of Germans in the Cooper
Union, under the auspices of the German
Republican Central Campaign Commit
tee. He spoke mainly with reference to
the two great issues which reformers
press upon the attention of the country
the getting back to houest money, and
the administration of the civil service
upon sound principles. He contrasted
with great effect the course pursued by
the Two parties and the two candi-
dates in dealing with the currency ques-
tion. and indicated the grounds OF his
own confidence in Mr.. Hayes and the
party sustaining him. His treatment OF
the question OF civil service reform was
bold enough to satisfy tue requirements
OF the most exacting rel0rmer. ln a
few emphatic sentences he absolved
himself, and the elements of the party
whom Nj. Hayes more particularly rep
resents, from responsibility for the errors
and misdeeds which have tainted the Re-
publican name. The forces az work
within the party, he declared, were ade-
quate for its publication; and he pre-
ward policy marked out by Mr.. Hayes,
the equIvocating conduct Of the Demo-
cratic party and of its candidate. Tue
speech appealed on all points to the in
telligence OF the audience, and was
marked by an independence OF tone
whion we shall be glad to see cultivated
by other speakers during the next three
weeks. II is the only tone which can
effectively reach the undetermined vote.

Mr. Belmonts speech at Cooper Union
last night, like all his speeches and let
ters in this campaign, breathes the right
spirit. While congratulating the Demo-
Gratis on their great triumph in October,
he is careful to caution them not to rem
der doubtful their greater triumph in
November by negi ecting any precauClon
that can possibly be taken against the
last desperate onslaught of men who are
fighting with ropes round their necks.
His picture of the effects, social and
political, OF Radical mtsrule is vividly
drawn but not oYercOloredj and his plea
| tor the better and wiser order Of things,
an ordered government, u peaceful peo-
pie, and the prosperity that always
| waits on labor and economy, one that
will commend Itself as torclbly to all
| who read it to-day as it did to all those
who heard it last night World.
| New York next. Now We can appre-
ciate the Importance of Republican

the hearty support of the Independents.
Had such nomination been made in
New York as to repel voters OF that
class, there would now be little hope OF
| Republican success. But Gov. Morgan,
though not the candidate of all 9TH
ers best calculated to secure that class
OF Voters alone, certainly commands
its confidence in high degree,
while retaining the support of the regu
lar voters of his party. His record Is
clear and honorable. His position with
regard to desired reforms ts creditable.

who have been Republicans in the past
to sustain it in the final struggle against
reactionaty Bourbonism, in the assur.

which all good citizens desire.
| This settled, the contest in New YqIk

are 80 interlocked as to be i'll effect but
one-the question of the currency and

the attitude and demands OF the South.

business men that they can not afford
to risk the prolonged uncertainty which
even now prostrates firms at the rate
of eight hundred month. They Will
see that desperate struggle for infia-
| ton will inevitably follow Democratic
success; that the South and West, en-
couraeed by the comparative success OF
the extreme repudiators i'll Indiana, will
be uncompromising in demands, as at
the last session OF Congress; that Mr..
| Tilden must be expected to yield to the
wish of his party, as he has yielded al
ready in respect TO the repeal OF the Re-
sum ption act; and that all our hopes Of
| financial recovery, specie resumption,
and business prosperity, Will hang upon

which inf1atiOlists now have an over

Though party organs like the Times
may deny that the Republican defeat of
Tuesday last was rout from which 1t
| is impossible to rally, 1t is not possible
to blind intelligent and independent
voters to the Importance and signid-
canoe of the October elections. On the
streets, at the hotels, and in the cars,
| the subject OF conversation and coniec-
ture is no longer the complexion of Mr..
Hayes Cabinet; every one is wonder

| on in President Tilden's Administration.
