Afler all, the greatest question to be
settled in the approaching election Of
President and Vice.President, il
whether or not the selfgovernment Of
the people can be maintained ia the
United States.
If, in spite Of all revelations Of The
corruption and incompetency which
characterize the Republican party and
its leaders; i', in spite Of Belknap's
bribe taking, Robson robbery, Fish's
dishonorable completely with Spain,
Grants and Babcock's relations with
fraudulent distillers, and all the rest
of that long and terrible catalogue Of
crime and misgovernment, the Repub-
lican parry can still carry this election,
the fact will prove that the ofiice-hold.
ing machine is too strong for The peo-
pie, and that the party in power can
never be turned out by the regular
method o" an honest election.
In comparison with this question, all
the other questions on which men are
to vote on the first Tuesday of Novem-

The taxes this year, less the taxes
for school and debt requirements, are
eight hundred thousand dollars less
than they were under Governor Nor
gan in 1860. And this notwithstand-
ing the fact that in 1860 the business
Of the country was on a gold basis,
while now we are suffering all the evils
Of a redundant paper currency. Re.
duce the taxes ofto-day to gold, and the
savings will be seen TO have been about
one-half Make the computation per
capita, and the saving would be found
to be much greater.
That is what Samuel J. Tilden has
done for New York. that is what he
will do for the nation. His work in
this State will be continued by Lucius
Robinson, whose Democratic financial
doctrines and policy were odious to
Morgan when he was Governor, and
have been rejected by the Republican
party. They will now be made the
head Of the corner in both State and
Natiou.--[ Albany Argus.

The Republicans have commenced q
game of brag over the approaching
election. Let US see what basi. they
have for their boasting. In 1872 the
Republicans carried Alabama, now
they have lost it. and lis ten elecio al
votes will be cast for Tilden and Hen
bricks. In 1872 Arkansas was Re
publican, casting It's vote for Grant.
They have now lost that State, and lis
six electoral votes will be cast for the
st. Louis ticket. The State Of Con-
neciicut was Republican four years
ago, both at the State and Presiden-
tial elections. The Republicans have
now lost that State with its six electo-
raj votes. Oregon with It's three votes
was, four years ego, Republican, now
it is Democratic. Here are four States
in which the early elections have been
held, which were formerly Republ can
and which now repudiate that party.
The only other two States which have
held elections are the old-established
Republican States OF Maine and Ver-
mont. These the Republicans have,
with desperate efforts, conirived to
save, and on this il is that they bear
their Dragging. Elections have been
held in six States, every one OF which
was Republican four years ago. aud
which together cast thiry-seven cleo
toral votes for Grant. The Republi-
can. have saved two States with
twelve votes and lost four States with
twenty-five electoral votes. This sort
Of brag is very much like boys whist
ling when passing the graveyard

TIE MaSdem Vote.

There will 60 to the ballot boxes on
the 9TH Of next month great body Of
young men who will cast their maiden
votes. II is a generation Of voters who
have reached maturity ten years after
the civil war. When in 1861 the shot
fired at Sumter was the signal for the
mastering Of the hos tile forces, these
now first voters were but six years old,
and when the contest ended, they were
only ten years old. Therefore the re-
membance Of the events, which 10 us
who passed through the period long
after our boards were grown, is fresh
and clear, to them is misty and almost
a thing of written history only. They
have learned at school Of the victories
and defeats which alternately checred
aud depressed us, and the war is to
them simply n childish memory OF
armed men marching away with BAN
ners and with music. They lost the
education Of that great conflict, which
is one of the treasures Of those who
lived through it and shared in it as
grown men. But perhaps better than
we, they can contemplate il in per-
spective, and view the war with no
other than The prejudices which the
opinions Of their elders may have crea-
ted in them.
These fresh voters can decide this
election. 1t becomes them, therefore.
TO thoughtfdlly consider how they shall
cast their ballots, snd TO earnestly and
studiously uform themselves as to the
issues Of the campaign. They will
ind many Of the current discussions
valuable as mental as well as general
political training. II they study these
carefully. We have little fear that their
votes will be given TO the wrong side.
Let them take heed 10 so cast their
ballots as to assist us in preserving The
republic, that when we shall have
passed away, they may receive intact
the inheritance which selfish partisan
zeal would impair or destroy, and
which corruption and proiigality have
already imperillcd. We commend
these thoughts to all those young men
who, on the 9TH Of next month, will
cast their FIRST ballots, most impor-
tant event in their lives New Yolx

the improvements already made in
our city will foot up not less than
$50, 900, not saying word regarding
the lots themselves, which cost in the
frst place the small sum OF 81 so

improved lots sold in the past few
