Among the business men interviewed

Business has been improving for several
weeks, and Is now better than 1t has been
for several years past, with remuneiative
prices at last, and supply not equal 10 de-

$50 tons OF pig iron per week, about $500
kegs OF nails, our own coke, and mine our
own coal right on the grounds. We have
600 hands, and had 1900 tons OF irUn on

Belknap & Co., Of Louisville, KY, write
as follows in their last circular:
"We confidently believe that iron and

OF prices reveals the fact..that at NJ time
from 1850 to 1875 was the price Of iiun or
nails so low as at present, with all onr ad.

section OF the country is much improved
and that there is plenty oil money. This
money must be spent, and those who have
long contemplated improvements, and
have hesitated on account OF the general
depression, are now eager to consummate
them. The hand.to.month policy has been
abandoned, and the best. informed are
looking farther aheao than has been their
wont for many day.
Orders for iron and nails are muci, more

machine shops, plow factories, wagon fac.

The New York split.

John Kelly, the Tammany nominee
for Governor, said in his speech at syra'
cuse on Thursday that he did not expect
to be elected, but he did expect to defeat
Robinson. This means that Tammany
expects to elect Cornell, the Republican
candidate. He predicted that Robinson
would be defeated by $4,000 majority in
the State. He said that the Tildsn.
Robinson wing OF the party would find on
election day that the majority Of the peo.
pie of New York arc heavily against
them.
"In 1878 there were but five counties in
New ork which gave Democratic ma,
jorities. New York county alone gave
$4,000 majority. Take this fact into con
sideration, and the nominees can easily
be beaten. The speaker assured the peo
pie that the city Of New York woSld poll
as large a Democratic vote as ever 1t did
We will elect our county ticket from tor
To bottom. Mr.. Kelly said he would gel
as large vote for himself as possible, just

writing from St. Clairsville, under date Of

1 want to tell you, to show the feeling
OF our people, about Mr.. George K. Nash'a

to have a Republican meeting, and found
in session Methodist Sabbath School In
stitute. He was 10th 10 interfere with re.
ligious exercises by running q political
"mill around the corner" but nothing
would do the deputation OF ministers that
waited upon him hut that they adjourn
the regular exercises for an hour and a
hall, and listen to his plea for the good
cause. So George accepted the dilemma,
and the Institute was thereupon organized
into model enthusiastic Republican
meeting, and Rev. Nicholas Worthington
chosen Chairman. Rev. Mich. came for
ward amidst great applause, mounted the
platform, and said: N'.
Brethren, the situation Is a new one
to me. I don't know whether to pray or
introduce the speaker"
"Pray," shouted the pious one.
Every well, we will bow in prayer"
and kneeling down he sent up such peti.
tion to Ewing's Providence THAT watches
over the Republican party with tatherly
kindness) as has seldom been echoed
through that little church. He prayed fol
grace to fall upon the speaker, that he
might show the Democratic sins and short.
comings, for Republican success at the
next and subsequent elections, and for
honor, worth and zeal TO fall upon and
inspire the weak ones, both in the prosecu-
ton Of their dutiesin this campaign and the
certain official duties to follow. As a prayer
1t was a winning card. Then came a first
class speech from Mr.. Nash, which was
well received and heartily applauded, and
the meeting adjourned to talk Of the needi
