CORRESPONDENCE OF THE EGiS.
OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
New YORK, Oct 81
TIE FIGHT ALREADY WON.

NEW DIRK, Oct. 81.
THE FIGHT ALREADY WON.
The Republicans in this State are panic
stricken. At the National Republican head
quarters here it is exceedingly difficult to
evoke smile by the most brilliant sally of
wit, and any such thing rs n hearty laugh
has not been heard in those precincts since
the returns have been received from Indiana,
West Virginia and Ohio. The immense
Democratic gains in the latter State are in
reality the severcst blow the Republican
party has received. It's majority there, now,
is so small, much less than one per cent,
that the slightest incident of the canvass may
lose them the State but it can do them no
good The Democratic gains in that and
other States in which elections have already
been held, amounting as they do, to 225, 600
popular votes, indicate turn in the popular
| tide which renders the defeat of Hayes absO.
| lutely certain. Out Of the seven States vot-
ing so far which went for Grant in 1872, four
are now Democratic, assuring n gain of 36
electoral votes in those States alone. Could
the Republicans carry New York, they would
still have Il chance Of success, but with this
State hopelossly lost to them as it is, for it
! will give Tilden 10000 majority, the fight is
| practically ended now.
Democrats will continue to exercise the
| w Itbol DhJ
they will do so as soldiers marching on TO
victory, while the Republicans resemble an
army already panic stricken with the fore
holdings of defeat.
BLAINE'S COURSE IN THE CANVASS.
Last evening the fifth of the series of mass
meetings which have been held in this city,
was largely attended, and the feature OF the
evening was the speech of Mr. Abram S.
| Hnyyitt Tho nurcunl nv Mr. Illninn
in this canvass was the text Of Mr.. Hcwtt's
speech. He said that to q number of Mr..
Blaines allegations he must apply the good
old saxon word he, and that he would ven
ture TO differ with Harper's Weekly as to
the proper use of language in the campaign
The JIur3lal Of Civilization says that it is not
every grave offence to stigmatiZe an hon.
ored member of the Supreme Bench as an
"ingrain, hungry Democrat doubled dyed
and twisted, dyed in the wool, and coarse
wool at that" Mr.. Hewitt said in this he
would venture to differ. 1t is grave ofense
to apply such language TO an honOred and
learned Judge of the Supreme Court and it
is much graver offence if the allegations
are false. Mr.. Hewitt reviewed Mr.. Blaine's
conduct during the investigation of the
Union Pacific and Little Rock and Fort
Smith Railroad Companies by Congress,
which exhibited him as false swearer and
blasphemcr. Mr. Blane's one speech in this
campaign las been tissue of lies through
out, and his record in Congress was suffi-
GENTLY damaging to stamp his every utterance
as false Thus falls to the ground his rebel
debt stories and charges Of paying uucon
stilutional war claims. Mr.. Blaine's conduct
is typical of the policy pursued by every
Radical orator that has taken part in this
campaign. Instead of meeting the charges

swindes, Navy Yard frauds, Post Office
straw bids, Black Friday operations, the
Emma Mine disgrace, Belknap Post-tradcr-
ships, the safe robbery conspiracy, Boss Shep-
herds villainies, and the Robson irreguari-
ties, they ilaunt the bloody shirt and hide
themselves behind Il thin fabric of lying
allegations.
THE RADICAL Il, l. l. S. EXPOSED
The recent exposure of the Radical Boys
in Blue, which came about by the publica-
ton Of letters, written by commanders of
Posts of the Grand Army of the Republic,
in answer to Gen Diys circular asking for
co operation in the movement to elect HAYES
and Wheeler, is damaging in the EXTREME
These letters show that, not only are the
claims of Gen Dix and others, that the SOL
diers of the late war will "volc as they shot"
are without foundation, but that the mana
gers of The Radical Boys in Blue are Federal
Office holders and partisan political mana
gers. The letters from the commanders of
Posts are cool, judcous and scathing. They
inform Gen. Dix that political discussions
are debarred from the ordinary business
routine of the Posts, and that they deprccate
any attempt to bring politics into their midst
One of the commanders, writing from Penn
syyania, says that he fayoTs the election of
Hayes and Wheeler, but there are as good
men in his Post as ever shouldered musket,
who will vote for Samuel J. Tilden and Thos.
A. Hendricks"
ANOTHER REPUBLICAN LIE.
The Radical party have invented another
lie which, like all others from the same source.
is no sooner uttered than 1t is exposed This
latest falsehood is in the shape of dispatch
from Washington, and was published in the
Ecentng Post of this city. 1t is to the effect |
that the new A. per cent. loan is being DANA
ged by the pending election, and that the |
syndicate will make no further subscription |
to that loan or authorize another call of $50 |
bonds until it is definitely known that Hayes
or Tilden is to be the next President Mr.. |
August Belmont of this city who is interest
ed in the placing of this loan says that the
report is for a mere selfish or partisan pre-
iudice of an hour, to obstruGt tie great pro-
cess of refunding the national debt at lower
rate of interest, and that it is shameful and
unpatriotio. He also says that the safety and
wisdom of investment ia the funded debt of
the Government of the United States does
not depend upon Presidential elections in the
opinion of English capitalists and bankers,
any more than the soundness of English con.
soils depend upon whether theEpglsh govern
ment is Tory or Liberal. One Of the firms Of
Ro,hschld have taken the pains to cable the
confirmation of Mr. Belmonts denial
The palpabe inadvertency of the dispatch
published in the Post is q decided acknow-
Judgement that the Republicans now anticI-
pate the election of Tilden and Hendricks
Being published in the Post, and coming from
Washington it is evident that it springs from
o Republican source. When treasury officials
in Washington stoop SO low as to send
hngrs disnatches 10 neWsnn ners for nnhlicn.
