While the Republican ticket in
New York is strong against assaults
from within. it is not proof against
effort from without. No where else
on this continent is the result of in
reference at the polls better under
stood than in New York. Those that
supposed there would be a heartier
Republican response to financial is
sue embracing protection of National
Bank notes and retirement of Green
backs, did not understand stalwart.
ism. 1t is now evident that both
Conkling and Wheeler rely more up-
on the working of the machine than
upon the effects of their appeals. The
best resistance that the Democracy
can oppose to desecration of the ballot
box, will be the names it will present
at Syracuse, with which will bo en-
bodied demand for free ballots and
repeal OF Dayenport's election laws:
unlimited coinage and free circulation
OF silver; reduction of taxes, with
an assertion Of the supremacy of con-
stitutional law, and the right of the
states to coHtrol the qualifications of
Mexico weekly ledger., 1879-09-11

Much as the administration would
like to break the rule OF Conkling.
there is not the slightest hope of ac-
complishing it. The Republican par
~ in New York is not made up of the
class of men capable Of the necessary
effort, and if it were, there is no 9TH
er issue, except that enunciated at
Saratoga, that would present the
slightest basis for such a movement.
Mr.. Cornell is the candidate of the
machine, and is therefore at the head
of those that have been accustomed
to his management. AS matters now
stand, inception of independence is
hopeless. So far as stalwartism is
concerned, even Evarts and Curtis
are in accord with Conkling. 1t is
only in regard to third term, or the
candidature of Conkling himself, that
there is difference in sentiment.
Nothing but defeat of the Republican
party in New York at the coming
election can upset Conkling, and such
result would be as disastrous to
Sherman as to himself. But if Cornell
should be elected, Conkling will be
absolute dictator of the National Re-
publican nomination in 1880. In that
event, Messrs. Sherman, Schurz,
Evarts and Curtis must be content to
wait yet little longer.

Dear Sir: The State Board Of I'm
migration having established Gcn-
eral Agency at this point for the pur-
pose of encouraging immigration to
Missouri, suggest, as a good plan
to properly set forth the advantages
your county offers to emigrants, that
you keep this office regularly sup
Piled with your paper. If you deem
1t to your advantage to do so, / will
see that they are kept on file for the
free use OF parties seeking homes in
the west. / furthermore suggest
That full description of your county
be printed in one number, and sever
al thousand copies be forwarded to
this office, for free distribution. The
people of your county will doubtless
raise fund sufficient to pay the nee
essary expenses for printing and
freight. Respectfully,
THos. b. WILSON, Gen'l Ag't.

Always ready to do all we can for
