NEW YORK, September D, 1876.
POLITICAL.
The political pot is boiling here, turi-
ously-that is, the Republican pot.
Monster meetings are being held every
where in this city and brooklyn, and
there never was 50 intense feeling
among the Republicans in New York
as now. 1t is perfectly wild-Delight-
fully SO. The meeting at Cooper Isti-
tute and at the academy of Music in
Brooklyn, were immense, and were as
enthusiastic as they were large. Tie
meetings in the wards are wonderfully
large and enthusiastic, and what is bet
ter, the best men are taking hold and
running them. The character OF the
Republican candidates is such as to
bring out the efforts of the best citizens,
who see in tic nominations OF the party,
the best evidences that its pledge of,
good Government will be carried out
The Democracy cannot get mp en-
thuSiasm. There is no Disgusting tie
fact, Tilden is unpopular among them,
The thieves don't like him because he
has been so selfish as to desert them
wien danger came, after affiliatinc with
them IN their days Of prosperity, and
honest Democrats distrust MIN, because
they l6"ow who his associates were in
the days of tie ring, and the influences
that would control him were lie elected.
Tn Albany lie is the most unpopular
man who ever occupied the Glberna-
torial Clair His dodgirg bis income
tax, his uuquestionable connection with
the Tweed Ring, and his inordinate,
unscrupnlous selfishness. make him as
unpromisiuG a candidate as could have
been put up, for popular suffrage. AS
a manager in the Interests of other men,
lie is unequalled, but honest men with
whom he has Lad dealings dread to see
him at the head OF affairs. He has at
tempted an explanation Of his dogding
his income tax, but it is a lame affair.
The fact is patent, that he is worth
millions, all of which was made during
the years this tax was levied, and he
never returned as much as would have
been the income of moderately small
lawyer lie petifogs it, as lie docs
everything.
is blooming aud everybody feels good.
Tie merchants are overrun with trade,
ard the complaint now is, that custom
crs cannot be attended to. Thropgs of
Southern and Western people are here,
many OF them sightseeing, bat more
making glad the hearts of the merchant
by purchasing. The streets are crowd
cd with trucks, as in the good old days,
and the piles of boxes on the sidewalk
are appalling, to all but those who are
rolling them. The hotels, for the first
time in three years arc crowded, the
daily arrivals occupying five and six
columns i'll the papers, run in solid in
very small type, and this only the lead
ing houses. New York begins to look
like the old city again. All this indi-
Gates the revival of confidence that We
have ali been hoping for. Now let the
growing stop in the country-lct us all
put our shoulders to the wheel, and go
to work to do something. The hard
times are over just as soon as people
say so, and act as though they believe
1t. If you have a house to build and
can afford it, go Oh and build it. The
sun is going to rise just as many times
this year as ever, and everything is 90
ing to go on as usual. The crops are
averaging well, there is money enough
and to spare, and all that IS needed, is
TO get rid of tile senscJess scare, and
with confidence go OF. This is all that
is necessary to make good times. There
arc reasons why we should not let bus
incss 60 by the board, if it can be
avoided. We have streets to fill,
farms to settle, and population to at
tract. There was a steady stream Of
emigration flowing into the country,
the most with money, and all with la
Dor, all of which ceased the moment
the cry of '.hard times was raised.
This stream we ought TO get flowing
again as soon as possible. The shortest
