The Nationals are nominating candidates for
Congress in nearly every State, and they have
hope of eecting some. 1t is barely possible
that the balance of power in the next House
may rest with this element which the older
parties affect to despise. The Republicans
ought to win clear majority, without fusion
OF cooperation with anybody, but the chances
are that they will not succeed where they give
aid to the new party by favoring its ideas. In
Maine, and wherever else the Republicans
make straight and manly fight for the es-
tablished policy of the party, they ought to
win. No man will say that they ought to win,
and very few will say that they have a
fair chance of winning in districts where
they court the votes of the regulators.
1t is a great misfortune to the Republicans
that they have not taken such position that
it is possible for them to reap the full bene-
fit of the growth of the Nationals anywhere.
If they had stOuty held to the posi-
ton to which the legislative record
and previous platforms of the party entitled
them, there would be no difficulty.
But there has been a strong desire, on the
part of some Republican politicians, to court
the favor of the repudiating Nationals In
some districts, and in some States, the Re
publican party has been virtually forgotten;
its honorable record has been dishonored; its
pledges have been dishonored its chief
claim upon the confidence of intelligent
and thrifty men has been ignored. Thus it
has come to pass that the party of repudia-
ton draws from Republican as well as from
Democratic ranks. But no considerable loss
Of Republican votes would have occurred, if
the party had always and everywhere re-
NAMED true to its principles, its pledges and
its record.
There is no chance Of success for Republi-
cans, unless they manfully defend the policy
of the Republican Administration in respect
TO the finances, and the legislation of Repub-
hcan Congresses. Pledges have been made;
the party Is dishOnOred if it does not keep
them. The country approaches that prosperity
which stable currency will secure, and the
great achievement ought to be everywhere
claimed by Republicans as the best proof
of the wisdom of their financial management.

SHERMAN" His paper is exactly the sort Oh
thing which Mr.. Sherman would not contribute
one cent to support. 1t feeds ana
fosters, week after week, the very
same repudiatiEg spirit which, when
openly expressed in a platform, Mr. Shnpe
shrinks from and repudIates. III he Is SIN

demand reputation OF oppose the Green

Shupe a dangerous organization. He says they
ARE merely promulgators of the principles OF
" the Molly Maguires, and are sworn to vote
" for whom they are told to vote" Elsewhere
he says they are Knights of Labor
"above ground, and Molly Maguires un-

believing that Mr. Shupe knows the real ma
ture of this organization. If he is right 1t Is
substantially union of the worst ana most
desperate elements that were engaged IN the
riots of last year. 1t is this organization
which, according to The POttSciHe Miners
Journal, has decreed another great strike
in the coal regions, and which, accord
ing to other authority, has been drilling clubs

a general disposition to consider it worthy OF

fold, the order maintained is better than ever
before, and the most refined need fear neither
danger nor insult 1t is SAID, also, that
the hotels and saloons in this city suffer from
the absence at night of the twenty or thirty
thousand who daily visit the seashore, from
which they can return in few minutes OF
time None of the Summer seasons at theatres
have paid this year, and the theory is adj
vanced that it is because of the absence at
COney Island of large numbers Of those VINO,
if in the city, would naturally attend places
of amusement. Possibly in another year there
will be a Summer Garden at the island. The
idea has evidently suggested itself to others,
for the Manhattan Beach bathing amphl-
theatre is already erected and has band
0pen-air theatres and concerts like those OF
Paris might be found to thrive if transplanted
TO this cool and pleasant shore.
The results of the German elections are still
uncertain. The Conservatives are reported to
have gained twenty seats, and the National
Liberals oOncede the loss of fifteen. 1t is
probable that the Liberals, by combining their
forces, can control the Reichstag, although by
a diminished majority One section OF the
party, however, will be ready to JOIN the reac-
tionary factions in bringing legislative pres
sure to bear upon the Socialists. The Chan
cellor has emerged from the Congress the
foremost man in Europe, and with his
increased prestige will have no difficulty
in managing the Parliament. 1t is likely that
DIR. Falk's resignation will be renewed and
his crude batch of ecclesiastical legislation re-
vised but inasmuch as the Liberals still re-
tam the political control, the Chancellor can
not carry any reactiOnary policy to extreme
lengths. In this respect the results of the
elections are salutary. Concerning the other
vital issue of the canvass, to which we Ill
rected attention on Tuesday last, we have no
data on which to base judgment. That mo-
mentOus issue is the increase or decrease of
the Socialist vote. There seems to have been
an actual increase in the vote polled by this
revolutionary party, but it must be borne IN
mind that in place of the usual average of 40
per cent, from so to 80 per cent of the full
vote has been cast in Berlin, and probably in
all the German cities. While there may be an
actual increase in the Socialist vote as COM
pared with that of 1877, there may be also
relative decrease in proportion to the aggregate
votes Of the two years.

THE NEW GREENBAcK-LAB0R PARTK

Mr. Shupe, the greenback editor, whose dele
CATION was so piteOusly excluded from the
Syracuse Convention, tells the story in his
own way in The Advocate. According to
him, the State Committee and the hall
were originally captured by a secret
organization, the knights of Labor" Of
which JUNO was the leader in the State
and George Blair in this city. Between
shupe and his party, and Blair and his party,
there exists an antagOnism, Mr. Shupe
says, which cannot be bridged over" and
he expresses himself entirely content with the
decision of the convention excluding him,
ON this ground: " When we saw that there
was no hope for us, ], through friendly
delegate on the floor, asked that the whole
"New-York City delegation be excluded, and
:" it was done, to the chagrin and mOrtifica-
." ton of the BlaiTites." SO 1T appears that
we have two irreconcilable elements in this
new party--the secret organization known as
the Knights of Labor, and the greenbacl peO-
pie who follow ShuDe.
But 1t also appearsfrOm The Advocate that
there is still another party which placed in
the platform a plank upon which, now that
the convention is ever, Mr.. Sbupe takes
occasion to spit. For he says that
"the Shupe delegation repudiate that
"plank IN the platform which approves and
"advises reputation of just obligations as
''sumed by contract" and that he had "pre-
"dcted just the failure that has occurred,
Through the assertion Of the reputation
theories of the Pomeroy farmers" Precisely
who "the POmeroy farmers" are elsewhere
appears; they are the men who demanded
payment of the entire bonded debt of the
Government in greenbacks, and Mr.. Sbupe
went expressly with a full delegation of
"seventy men to balance the vote of
"this clement This fact having been
discovered, be was stigmatized as
hireliDg of John Sherman, and was
kicked ont, and the PomerOy farmers and
the secret knights of Labor" ran the
convention and put into its platform
the plank which approves and adj
yises Reputation of just obligations"
Thus we have three parties in one-for
a part of the people who agree with
shupe remained, although he was turned out

SBALL NE pAY OUT GOLD ATONcE,

That new state of things has come, and
not in all respects good state of things, the
debt statement of August makes clear
There Is no change in the amount of legal
tender notes outstanding i-contraction has
been stopped by act Of Congress. But this is
not surprising. The unexpected fact Is that
the payments of legal-tender notes within the
last month have exceeded the receipts, so that
