COUNT THE GERMANS Fos TILDEN.

The evidences now are that the German
vote of New York will go almost unani-
mnusly for Tilden and Robinson. Since
the day that Governor Dix signed what is
sailed tbe C4.Ii Damage Law a State issue
has existed between them and the Repub-
licans, and upon national measures the
Gefmans are, whenever properly informed,
against all extravaganza aud in favor of
lowar taxation. These people have had a
forclble demonstration in the acts of Mr..
1liden that government conducted by
him is conducted cheaply, and they know
that MIR. Robinson is prepared 70 carry out
the measures of reform adopted by Til
den ia New York. In fact, Mr. Rob.
inson has had charge of the Stste's
revenues, and has done quite as much in
his capacity as Mr.. Tilden to bring about a
healthy condition of the New York finances
The nomination of Robinson, u man
earnestly admired by the Germans,
strengthens the chances OF Tilden's election.
II New York elects Robinson, it will also
cast its electoral vote for Tilden, and the
latter's election will then be pretty we'll as
sured. Dorsheimer, too, is German by
palentsge, and his own and his fathers
great popularity among Germans will add
20 the strength of both the State and
national Democratic candidates. Discus
sion of questions of nationality is by no
means favorite subject with the
STATESMAN, but we are in the midst
of great struggle, and it is
pleasing to note any feature of the
canvass which may give US strength.
! The German vote is known TO be large In
New York, Ohio and Indiana, and while
the Republican party IS bidding so strongly
for its support, 1t is gratifying to see that
it is voluntarily taking position with the
Democracy. The efforts of Schurz with
the motives at their bottom, have disgusted
Germans in the North. and the speeches in
Indiana, of Dittenhocff5r, lately connected
with the whisky rings, have left the Re-
publican dependence upon German support
| but f1imsy structure.

THE Sugar PLanter[ [R publican), of Louis
lana, is very we'll pleased with the canvass
of the State thus far. 1t sees no fault with
the Democrats, and acknowledges that they
have acted properly, and is evidently a
disbeliever in the cries of persecution. The
Sugar Planter is published just opposite
Baton Rouge, and ought to be accepted as
good authority upon the conduct of the
canvass in Louisiana. All truthful Repub-
licans will express themselves just as does
the iSuQur Planter

titles for three leading years.

Were it not then for the increased drain
upon the country, resulting mainly from its
political decentralization and consequent
extravagances, the poor man of to-day
would be enabled to lay up money faster
than he could ten years ago. Two direct
causes prevent this. One is that
confidence being destroyed, labor is
not SO constantly employed as it wss
in 1886 and the other is that corrupt rings
have command of most of the money in the
country. There is but one course open
for relief, and with its accomplishment the
people at large will once more become
coDtented and happy, Tor they will
be surrounded with plenty and COM
fort. Want of confidence has shut
the doors Of factories, and varied indus
tries with millions invested have lain idle
in consequence Of it. Fifty thousand able
bodied men In New York and a cores
pondIng ratio throughout the country are
without work and without bread, and
the only hope for relief is il
q thorough and complete change of the
national government. Officials are armed
with power hard to resist. Ninety five
thousand Federal officials against fifty
thousand in 1869 have an influence over
the voters that it will be hard to overcome,
but reason and necessity must certainly
prevail and place the country once more
where it can settle down into universal
prosperity and peace.
