The good humor with which the contest for

As the partisans of each candidate have been,
is an excellent augury of the temper OF the

THE TRIBUyE ALMANAC FOR 1870.

THE TRIBUNE ALMANAC AND Political REGIS
TER for 1879 is published this morning
and may be obtained in our c0untlng-rOoh
and at the various news-stands ana othei
places where il is usually sold. 1t makes
a neat and compact volume of Is pages printed Ill
clear type on thick heavy paper, and Is accom-
panied by general table of contents and a full
alphabetical index, which enable the reader to see
at glance the rich variety of information 1t con-
tains and TO find readily whatever facts OF hgurcs
he may be in search Of
The Almanac this year has been again compiled
and edited by the Hon. Edward Mcpherson, un-
doubtedy the best authority on political statistics
in the country. Unusual care has been taken
to insure funess and accuracy, and the
result is one Of the best political ANNALS
which TnE TRIBUNE has ever published. More
than half of the work is occupied by the election
returns for the past year. on which InE TRIBUNE
ALMANAC is now generally recognized bypollticlanS
of all classes as the standard authority. In
addition it contains a full abstract of the
public laws passed during the year, the
party platforms of 1873, recent coustitu-
tiona amendments made or rejected in vari-
Gus States, lists of officials Of the United
States Government, members of the present
and the next Congress- Governors of the States and
Territories, etc, etc.
Another important feature is a series of val
liable tables on the industry and commerce
Of the country, which form a complete ept0me
of the business done in 1873 and contrast it with
the exhibits Of previous years. These tables
are further supplemented by Others Of equal
yaue on the revenues and expenditures
Of the United States, the imports and exports of
coin and bullion, on National banks and currency,
on savings banks statistics. and on various other
pla-cs Of our financial -y,tcm.

Taking this as his text. the Governor
makes strong argument against what ne
calls "the policy of repression" and adVo-
Gates the introduction of the English system

had been in operation in Pennsylvania, many
of the disputes which have rendered falr
portions of that State dark and bloody
ground might have been easily adjusted, and
he calls upon the employing class which IN
auguratcd the arbitration idea in England to
do the same in his State. The Legislature,
he urges, should disseminate information con-
ccming the system, and promulgatc a code to
serve as model for those who have
a mind to test it. These recommen-
