The Outlook in New York.

The letter of our New York correspondent
gives an encouraging account of the political
situation in that State. 1t is confirmatory of
advices received from other intelligent Re
publican sources. The opposition to MIR.
Cornell, at no time really formidable, shows
few, if any, indications of increase. On the
contrary, it will be likely to weaken as cleo
ton day approaches. At the final moment
not many Republicans will be found
who will care to imperil party success
and national supremacy in order to graf
ify personal dislike. 1t will be borne
home to them that the election of Mr.. Rob
inson will be construed as an approval by
New York of the candidacy of the greatest
political trickster who ever solicited the suf-
frages of the American people, OF the only
man in all our history who has attempted to
buy his way into the White House. 1t can
not be denied that Democratic success in
New York will greatly strengthen Mr.. Ill
den, not only in the nominating convention
of the party but in the canvass which fol-
lows, With these considerations facing them
it is not to be believed that many Republi-
cans will scratch the regular and only ticket
The Democratic opposition to Mr.. Robin
son is, on the cuntrary, of very menacing
character. 1t took its rise in the convention,
and is not, like the Republican disaffection,
an afterthought. 1t manifested itself in a
formidable bolt, and is supported by one OF
the most obedient and best-disciplined po-
litical organizations in the land. In the city
Mr.. Kelly is certainly a great political power,
and his friends claim that his strength in
other parts OF the State is considerable. If
he can command half the votes he claims,
the defeat of the regular Democratic candi-
date is assured.
But there are reasons for believing that
the strength of the Kelly movement will
wane The name of Tammany is justly an
offence to the people of New York, and that
organization has little reason to expect nu-
merous or respectable allies in the State at
large. The city vote, too, is an uncer-
tain element, made up largely as it is
of men peculiarly open to those agen
cies which Mr.. Tilden facetiously calls
''moral forces" There is little reason to
doubt that many Of the Tammany men will
be found lying at the spigot and the bung OF
that ''bar'l'' on election day. However that
may be the matter is not one to concern Re-
publicans, all they have to do is to make
their own fight Tammany and anti-Tam-
many are nothing to them. They are fight
ing the Democratic party and all its wings
and sections and factions. If they win the
battle it will be by Republican votes, and
the victory will be due to Republican zeal
and efficiency They have candidate of
whom they have just reason to be proud,
they have cause the nohlest ever fought
for, and their success ought not to be mat
ter of uncertainty. We believe it is not.

THE Argus, which quotes so freely and SO
approvingly from the Washington Post, has
strangely omitted. to give the following pic
turesque description of the result of the
Ohio election made by the editor of the Post
in an interview held with him by a reporter
of the Democratic Cincinnati Enquirer a
few days ago: ut eliminates Ohio from the
problem, and drives us all into Tilden's
chicken-coop, just like so many young and
beautiful Spring chickens. They say old
Tilden can draw his check any day for 81,
10000 have profound respect for any
man who can draw his check for two mil
lions His arm may be palsied little, and
his eye cooked, but if that hand can sign his
name to a check of such magnitude, with a
reasonable security that will itbe paid on pre-
sent3tion, that man is entitled to the respect
of the American people. Indeed, think if
they would remove my underclothing at this
time, they'd find S. j. I. marked on my per-
son somewhere"

THE GREAT PAIN RELIEVING and
curative remedies have already worked their
way into every hamlet where the English Ian
guage is spoken That the reputation OF and
demand for such remedies as these are,
should extend and increase, could not be other
wise. THERE is NO PAIN, soreness or
swelling which they will not alleviate. There
are but exceptional cases of constitutions
humors and distorted joints, which they do not
cure, and none they will not benefit They
are SOOTHING, absorbing and emolllent.
They EXTRACT THE PAIN from and heal
burns and scalds without scars. For RHEU-
MATIC AFFECTIONS, pains in the back,
stiff Joints, wounds, strains and eruptions, they
act with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY. These
preparations are of two kinds, the FAMILY
and the ANIMAL Liniments. Being uniyer-
sally adapted to the external ailments OF man
and beast, the name of the HALF-HORSE
and HALF-MAN Centaurs was naturally at
tached to them. They perform cures never be-
fore effected by any remedy. Undoubtedly
more of them are sold than of all other linl-
ments, ointments, oils, embrocations, plasters
and so-caled pain-killers combined.
The WHITE Centaur Liniment cures Rheu-
matism Sciatca, Lumbago and Tic doul-
ourux.
IT RELIEVES Neuralgia and all kinds of
pain.
IT HEALS wounds, sores, gals and pois-
onous bites.
IT CURES Itch, Pnmples and Salt Rheum

IL the Republican editors who are trying to
make political capital by exaggerated reports
and inferences of the business boom, would al
so inform their readers how much of this boom
is legitimate and substantial, and how much
speculative and transitory, they would confer
favor on the business men OF the country
Lewiston Gazette.
APRoPos of the business boom we find
the following in the Bangor Commercial con-
cerning Saco and Biddeford:
Business of all kinds is improving, and Bid
deford and Saco are not slow to feel the good
effect. The cotton mills are all running, day
and even into the night, and are turning out
an immense amount of manufactured goods,
which find q ready sale, in foreign markets
chiefly.
The machine shops in Biddeford are unusu-
ally busy places and have plenty Of work
The numbering business will be much better
this winter than last, and all the mills are do
ing well now.
Considerable local building is going on in
the two cities and there are indications that
there will be much more when the Spring
opens
Perhaps the Democratic editor Of the Ban
COR Commercial will tell the Democratic ed
itor of the Lewiston Gazette how much OF
this Biddeford ''boom" is Legitimate and
substantial and how much speculative
and transitory."

The following merciless thrust at Thur
man, by the New York Tribune, may well
be taken to heqrt by some of the professedly
hard-money Democratic leaders in Maine:
Exit Allen G. Thurman, the most despica-
Bile demagogue of them all. By the side Of
him General Ewing towers high in conscious
sincerity, weak and blundering though he
be- BY the side of Thurman even Solon
Chase appears creditable person, for he
had not clear ideas or convictions to sacri-
fee. Mr.. Thurman had both. He was ca
pable Of being statesman, and deliberately
preferred to be beaten and disgraced rival
Of small-bore denlagogues. BE has earned
his fate, and not all unselfish regret will be
felt for his fall by any creature between the
two oceans.' These words will make the
Honorable Bilks vince. Like Thurman
they have sinned against light. Like him
they have chosen to be demagoSues

Mr. A. O: PIKE of Fryeburg sends to the
PRESS communication in regard to the
charge of attempte bribery brought against
him by Mr.. J. Lows. We believe it profit
less to continue the controversy. Mr.. Lows
has made his charge, Mr.. Pike has denied it,.
Further discussion will but provoke more
affirmations and denials. The place for the
question is now in the courts. If Mr.. Lows
cannot prove his charge there, it must be
considered unprovable. We are glad to
learn by Mr.. Pixies letter that he is minded
to conduct the controversy in q courteous
way, and does not propose to indulge in
any harsh language in reply to this misera-
bic slanderer." Further on in the letter Mr.
Pike reiterates his peaceful intentions in
words still more forcible.

In the opinion of the Tribune 1.-THE surest
way of keeping the g-baby inits grave is to
tumble the Democratic party in on top OF it. y
Should this be done, the proverbial rest OF
the grave would become a hollow mockery.
The Democratic party would turn in its
coffin, be once more hard-money, and pick a
quarrel with the corpse below it.
