State congratulating them on the vigor with which
the present canvass has been conducted and counsel
ing equal yigor and discretion during the few remain
ing days before the election. They say they have
confronted their opponents at every town ana village
in the State and that at none of their own meetings

THEGREAr BANK RoBBERY.-The Manhattan Savings
Institution in New York was robbed OF nearly three
millions of dollars in securities and money sunday
morning by band of masked burglars The burglars
entered the janitors sleeping room, handcuhed him
and his wife and forced him to surrender the keys OF
tho vaut and the secret of the combination of the
lock. They entered the vault, where they remained
nearly three hours breaking open the safe and rlng
it of a portion of its contents. They carried away
s2747OO in bonds and S11 900 in cash. Ofthe bonds
700 are registered and Sl6SOOO are payable &c
the order of the Institution The only reassurlng lea
ture in the whole is the fact that the great puI
the securities are not negotiable. The robbers nave
secured however $4,000 in coupon bonds, and s1lO OO
cash: and they have compelled the bank to take ad
vantage of the sixty days act. The absence OF tn
securities will practically suspend the business OF tn
institution and unless the police find the robber
soon the bank may be forced, in self-preservatior
into one of those disgraceful compromises with tn
thieves in which such operations so often end.
