though with the arrival at the Battery of
the first through train from Harlem we
shall not secure all the advantages that are
certain to follow the completion of that
great public improvement, we shall yet find
an immediate revival OF real estate and re-
stored activity IN the building business that
will give employment to thousands. We
have no doubt that the effect of the con-
struction of the rapid transit roads will
materially increase the value of all lands
in the upper districts of the city,
and the improvements that are GER
tain to follow will raise the valuations
for assessment and thus decrease the gen.
eral rate of taxation. At the same time we
believe that the fears of deterioration of
the property along the lines will be speedily
dissipated. very little wise legislation at
Albany this session will materially assist
these encouraging prospects But the most
important measures needed are the Finance

The Convention then adjourned.


The Commercial has urged consistently
the policy of retaining in Congress men
| who demonstrated special ability for that
position. In conformity with this idea, it
had hoped that Governor Cox, whose pres
ent service in Congress has added to his
national reputation for ability, could be
prevailed upon to accept a denomination.
Had he done so it would have been fortu-
nate for the District and have given him
additional opportunities for serving his
country. His able management of the
Republican interests in the Potter investi.
CATION had fixed the ewes of the people
upon him with renewed attention, and it
seemed az ii he was opening for himself
fresh career Of distinguished usefulness,
equal, il not greater, than that which had
ma arked his past.
Reasons Of personal nature have been
sufficient TO induce him to turn away from
the inviting prospect opened up before
him, and devote hiUself to other than
public pursuits. While we feel that this
is serious loss to the party and the coun-
try, il cannot be denied that n man who
has given so literally OF his time to the
country @ has Governor Cox, has the
right to say at any moment that he feels
unable to contribute any more.
The Convention which assembled yester-
L,y ~ orivut a. ruv,vnavI ~ oV,eino, CuG
was unexpectedly large and those present
showed deep interest in the party's welfare
and stro qg confidence in its success. Their
deliberations were marked with good
feeling and harmony, and a desire to do
the best possible thing for the Republican
party, which rose above all personal pref
erences and preju dices.
The gentleman who was finally selected
~ the nominee is u young man, who has
large following in his own comfy and
throughout the District. He is very pop
ular with all classes, and has been for
years the leading Republican in Ottawa
county. An excellent soldier during the
war, dashing Sabreur, always to be found
at the head OF the column, sword in hand,
when his regiment charged, a no iess en-
terprising and energetic man in peace, he
has the qualities of leader of men, pnd
political standard bearer. Furthermore,
he is representative OF the District out
side OF Lucas county, and is entitled to
special consideration in that respect.
He has claims upon the Republicans OF
the District for his brilliant war record
and for his indefatigable service to the
party ever since the close of the war. He
will make an excellent Representative in
Congress, and care for the interests of the
District with that intelligent energy that
characterizes his performance OF every
thing that he charges himself with doing.
1t now remains for every Republican in
the District to make Capt Luckey's cleo
tion matter of personal interest. II this
is done there can be no doubt of the result.
We can elect him ii we try, and there is
every indication that the Republicans will
try.-1Otedo Commercial.
