POLITICAL,
The political pot il boiling here
fnriously-that il, the Repu blical
pot. Monster meetings arc beini
held everywhere in this city and il
Brooklyn, and there never was 81

Leans in New York as now. 1t i

lhusiaslic as they were large; thu
meetings in the wards are wonder
fully large and enthusiastic, an(

The Democracy cannot get NJ
any enthusiasm. There is no dis
guising the fact, TiIden is unpopu
lar among them. The thieves don't
like him because he has been so sell
fish as to desert them when danger
came, after afliliating with them in
their days of prosperity, and honest
Democrats distrust him, because
they know who his associates were
in the days of the ring, and the in
tluence that would control him were
he elected. In Albany he is the
most unpopular man who ever oc-
cupied the Gubernatorial Chair.
His lodging his income tax, his I'M
questionable connection with the
Tweed ring, and his inOrdinate, un.
scrupulous seltishness, make him as
unpromising u candidate as could
have been put up, for popular snf-
trage. As IL manager in the inter.
ests of other men, he is unequalled,
but honest men with whom he has
had dealings dread to see him al
the head of affairs. He has at.
tempted an explanation Of his dodg.
ing his income tax, but ii is 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 rs
much as would have been the in
come of IL moderately small lawyer.
He pettilogs it, as he does every
thing.

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
ears are crowded, the daily arrivals
occupying five and six columns in
the papers, run in solid in very
small type, ard this, only of the
leading houses. New York begins
to look like the old city again. All
this indicates the revival of conf
lence that we have all been hoping
for. Now lee the growing stop in

to do something. The hard times

necessary to make good times.
There are reasons why we should
