REsrMrTIUS is now fixed fact only
So days more and it will become legal
fact.
THE Iowa Democrats and Greenhackers
were guilty of the indiscretion of swap
ping horses in the middle of the stream"
The logical result of mutual duckiug will
ensue to-day.

TO-MuRRows NATIONAL REPUBLICAN |
will contain special telegraphic dispatches |
from prominent points in Iowa, Indiana,
Ohio, and West Virginia, giving the very
latest election news aud estimates OF the |
result of to-dny's contest in those States
& SINCE the Presidents return from his cir |
culation among the people he expresses him
self highly gratifcd with the outlook at the |
West. He is of opinion that the advocates
of honest money are gaining ground stead
lily. This shows the President to be cor
rect observer, for II is assured to the country
that honest money will win in the end.
MAINE, Vermont, and Colorado disposed
Of few aspiring statesmen, but it is esti-
mated that there are now in other States
more than $40 candidates in the field for
Congress. As there are only 202 districts
In the entire country, and consequently
patriots seems to he abundant. Aud they
call this an OF year, too.
SENATOR Combines expected speech nt
Ithica day after tomorrow is not spoken OF
by the Opposition with as much derision as
usual. The truth Is that the Democrats
fear his power before the people aud now
that he has gone into the campaign with
vigor that is an assurance of success, the
feeble jokes about the greatest effort of
q his life are not relishedby them.
THE aggregate amount Of coin now in the
NuulAb VI uIutl tAt NDullOl bl lnt Nllllth
States Treasury is equal to more than two
thirds Of the entire amount Of legal tenders
now outstanding. With one hundred mil
lions Of legal tenders in actual control OF the
Treasury and this large coin balance, 1t is
evident that everything is ready for resump.
tOn on the lst of January next. What will
the GrCeubackers and Fiatists do then?
THE impudcnCe Of the POsi-crior in assert
jng for the Democracy an especial claim as
the steadlist friend Of the greenback system
Is simply sublime. Everybody knows that
the original issue Of grccnbacks was opposed
By that party, aud that it, traditional policy
from the days OF President JACKSON down
to the present time, including the brief
period of honesty In its career when old
Bullion BESTON's advice was casually
needed, has been cmphaticaly hard
money policy.
THE Republicans Of the thirty-second
New York Congressional district have,
through their central committee, nominated
the Hon. RAY V. PIERCE Us their candidate
for Congress. This We regard Us settling
beyond serious controversy the question Of
n Republican Representative from that dis
trict, which is now represented by Demo-
crat. Dr. PIERCE now represents the dis
trct in the State Senate-is n thorough
Republican, man Of sterling abilities aud
OF unusual personal popularity. We regard
this nomination as equivalent to an election.

THE New York TrihuHe has performed a
great and intricate feat iu discovering and
laying before the county the key TO the
TILDEN cipher kilograms that were scat
tered in abundance in every doubtful State
in 1876. By this key the depth of that
plot against the rights Of the people and
the purity Of the elective franchise is clearly
and unimpeachabIy revealed. The attack
upon the rights Of citizenship was bold and
determined, and its exposure in the depths
Of its enormlty should damn the Democratic
party and It's leaders to utter iniImy
IT is now said that BO-PEEP WArTERsOS
aspires to the Democratic nomination for
Nice-Fresident in 1850. He has the thing
oil cut and dried" THUKMAH Is to head
the ticket, and HENRI, with his hundred
thousand undrmcd lambs, is to be recog-
nized us the most active Democratic jour
nalistic bull.dozcr Of the country deserves
to be. The fate of HORACE GREELEY, who
left journalism under similar circumstances
seems to have no terror for him but then
WATTERsoN Is not Il second HORACE
GREELEY by any means.
