THO PARTY PLATEORMS.

The Democrats of Ohio and the Republicans
of Illinois met in convention on Wednesday
and adopted such resolutions as they think
advantageous to them in the present state of
public opinion. They stand upon very differ
emit ground. The Republicans of Illinois are
measurably sure of success, whether their
declarations fully satisfy public opinion or not
1t would have been easy and safe for them to
endeavor to lift public opinion to a higher
plane by their avowals. The Democrats of
Omo on the other hand, have a close and
doubtful contest before them, in which, while
they depend mainly upon the prejudice and
ignorance Of the less intelligent class Of
voters, they are compelled to modify their
utterances so far as to retain the confidence
of substantial and property owning class.
The votes of men of communistic tendencies
are assured to the Democrats by the general
character and constant record of that party !;
the difficulty with that party in Ohio was
only to make itself appear less dangerous
than it really is. On the other hand,
the votes of a majority, and especially

The annual report of the Commissioners of
Taxes and Assessments, of which an abstract
is given elsewhere, is a careful and intelligent
presentation of the condition of property IN
this city, and deserves much commentator.
1t is, on the whole. an encouraging showing.
1t is true that the failures of 1877 are about
the Same as those of 1876, both in number
and amount, and that the total of new build
ings and improvements was less, In value, for
1877 than for any other year since 1873; but
it is also true that these facts arc indications
of a state of things which existed oil over the
country, while here there are new and special
grounds of hope for change. The Commits
siOners place high estimate, rs all intelligent
observers must upon the possibilities OF rapid
transit in diverting the tide of growth from
New-Jersey and Long Island to the upper part
of New-York Island, provided, of course, that
the process of building up the vacant spaces
is discreetly managed. They place great re-
ance also upon the progress which New-1ork
is making toward securing proper terminal
facilities The real estate market is stagnaDt,
but the holders of manufacturing and railroad
and bank stocks and business debts, have too
often found them worthless, while real estate
is at least tangible. Admitting all that is
said as to the grievOUs burdens of tax-pay-
ers, the Commissioners declare real estate in
vestments to be sounder, stronger, more
hopeful than almost any And with the
special reasons for encouragement just NEIL
toned, and the prosperous condition OF GER
tan branches of trade, there is good reason
to believe that the Commissioners timely
words of hope will be fulfilled.

saw double could get out of existing facts by
any sort of optical multiplication. 1t is likely,
however, that General Butler will render the
country one service in this matter. He will
burrow so far that when he comes up to the
surface he will find himself far outside of the
limits of the Republican party.

Offices were to be given for one; also the use
