'0Te's price since 1862. Per contra
stocks have gone up higher than at any

makes the following remark:

By these figures the average accumula.
tion for the past seven months has been
81 100000 month. At this rate the
Treasury on Jan. !, 1870, will own slO2,-
100000 in gold coin.
In regard 10 the latest phases Of bust.
mesa throughout the United States, the
New York Public speaks as follows:
"During the month OF September husi.
ness was remarkably good in spots. While
some localities gained largely others lost
even in comparison with the notable dull.
ness Of September, 1876. 1t becomes
clearer every day that whatever Of reyiv.
ing prosperity we can yet discern is due
to the marketing OF an exceptionally
large crop Of grain. In the South and
Southwest, including St. Louis, proofs Of
increased activity are lacking, and re.
cent storms have rendered the prospect
les clear. East OF the Alleghenies busi.
mesa improves wherever the grain gOes in
large quantity, but declines everywhere
else. On the Pacific coast there has been
large advance of late, but only recent
gain in comparison with last years op-
eratiOnE. But the Northwest, and espe-
ciaIIy Milwaukee, Chicago and Kansas
City, show a real and large Improvement.
AT Milwaukee especially, owing to the
short crop last year, the gain appears ex-
traordinarily large, being nearly ] IL per
cent for the last week and 20 per cent for
the last month";"

We observed day or two since that
the impression seemed to be abroad in
Ohio that Judge West had made such
gain, in the canvass as would result in
bis election. These gains have not arisen
from his speeches alone, nor even chiefly
from that source, but rather from the
voOd feeling that has cropped out all over
the country in consequence Of good crops,
and the constant improvement in busi.
ness, and from the Presidents southeru
trip.
lad the crops been bad, or had the
President pursued a different course to.
ward the South after his Inauguration,
the decided probabilities are that Ohio
would have given u Democratic majority
Of many thousands to-day. While there
are good many dissatisfied Republicans
in Northern Ohio who are inclined to
believe that the President has gone more
than half way over to the enemy, there
area great many more Republicans who
were on the eve Of leaving the party last
year because Of their despair Of ever see.
ing a settlement ol our Southern troubles
under Republican administration.
This latter class OF Republicans are
now warmly for the administration, and
so also are many Republicans who fell
away from the party in the Greeley cam
paign Of 1872. Inaddition to this, the
Democrats have not been able to arouse
any feeling in this canvass against the
Republicans on the modus opcrandi Of
the Presidential election, as was origin.
ally intended, seeing that Wade Hamp.
ton and the Southern people generally
have taken to Hayes 30 kindly. Hayes is
popular in Ohio on his personal merits
and has been greatly strengthened by his
course at Washington.
There has been no well defined issue
between parties in Ohio on financial
matters. They have both been silvcred
with the dollar Of the iAthera, so much so
that the general belief is that who ever
carries the State silver will be remon.
itilel by Congress this winter. And this
is as far as the people Of Ohio care to go
in the.way of initiation. The grecnbaCk
howl has died down. The voice OF such
IDIOTS as Sam Carey has fallen un.
pIea'antly on the public ear since gold
fell to y, The farmers have had good
crops, are out Of debt. and are satisfied to
have the money Of the country get better
instead Of worse.
Judge West, the Republican candidate,
made blunder in the very opening Of
the canvass that may cost him good
many VOie1. We refer 10 his letter OF
acceptance and to his frs! speech. A good
many Republicans were positively shock.
ed to see their candidate catering to what
'lvored Of communism, although when
Judged by his Lifetime record and his
'ub'equent masterly expositions OF the
labor question, they have mostly recuv.
cred from that shock and been willing to
assume that he was misunderstood.
This Is merely hasty glance at the sit.
a'non in Ohio on the morning OF the elec.
ton. 1t i4not worth while to speculate at
length upon tho result. A few hours
will tell the tale. We shaII probably
have pretty full news by midnight.
