TEE business man of 1888, who, when
every other man and every other woman
and child In the whole country was rejoic.
Ing over Independence just gaiued, went
through the streets crying for pay tor his
beef, set at example that other men follow
even to this day. In the rising into promi
men ,eof the financial question every thought
full and patriotic person has rejoiced, and
has had reason to rejoice, because whatever
financial condition might become, we had q
prospect Of getting rid Of dangerous sec
tionslism in our politics. Financial difficult
ties can be only temporary in country like
this. Senator Conkling is the first promi-
nent man to introduce the subject into the
campaign, and he does 1t with an astenta-
tion and a bitterness not excelled by any OF
those who have lived upon such agitation
for the last dozen years. He will, II he
lives until the November election, look upon
the people Of New York as they vote upon
other questions altogether, and ask himself
why he was silly enough to drag in an un-
patriotic subject which was dying and which
ought to die. 3. s.a,. .s..s .-s.s. ,-.,i
In this connection It Is interesting to
know that General Merritt, lately appoint
cd Collector Of the port Of New York, who
has been here, says that the Greenback
movement has made astonishing progress
In that State. He might have added that
other influences were at work tn impair the
strength Of the Republican party at the
polls, for that such Is the fact is knowntto
all who keep we'll informed of affairs.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.
FIREMEN,S CONVENTION.

A Firemen's Convention consisting of five
delegates from each of the following the
companies Friendship, Reliance, Della
ware, Phoenix, Water Witch, Washington
and Weccacoe.
Mr.. VIM Hanna, OF the Washington, was
appointed chairman, and John O'Donn ell,
Jr., of the Re lance, Secretary. ...
Mr.. James Agnew, of the Delaware, stated
the object to be to take action In regard to
the Fame taking the position of No. 6 in
line OF parade hereafter. If the Fame did
not, the Delaware will not turn out, and
they wished to know what the other COM
panies we're going to do.
d. J. Gallagher said the Reliance stood on
the same ground as the Delaware.
Mr.. Hanna said the Washington had sent
communication to the Fame demanding
that they should hereafter take-the position
OF No. 6 in line, or they (the Washington)
would rot turn out at the coming reception.
The Fame had refused their invitations on
three or four occasions. The Washington
had supported the Fame time and again in
claiming tho position of No. 1, but they
were tired 1t.
Mr.. D. O'Neill, of the Water Witch, re-
viewed the question from its starting point
down to the present day, and thought the
companies had no grounds for kicking on
the present occasion, as the Fame would
take the position (centre) assigned them by
the rules. It was understood the Fame
would take the position of No. 6-and they
(the Fancy always stick by their pledge.
He thought it was unmanly to take advan-
tsge of them now. After this parade the
question Will be settled. The Water Witch
intended to turn out, but If the question of
the Fame being Mol came up, the Water
Witch would be found always opposed to
giving them that position.
Mr.. Price, of the Phoenix, stated that they
were not prepared to vote, and did not in
tend to 70 out. .E 3
Mr.. Baylis, of the Friendship, said his
company would not 60 out on Oct. %.
Mr.. Sollsway, OF the -Weccacoe, stated
that his. company had engaged a band and
was going out. :. y. =.
Mr.. Reeder, of the Weccacoe, thought
the Fame never had any claim to anything,
but. No. 6, and WAS the only position she
should be permitted to occupy. ,.,'a t.,s
