MEY-SoTE or rus SITUATION.

In recent conversation with prosper
ous merchant of this city, whose politics is
his business, the fact was CLEANED from him
that he had recently had with him nine
representatives of manufacturing establish
ments of the north, some democrats and
some republicans. He asked each as TO
the political outlook, and with solitary
exception tho response has been that GAR
FIELD and ARTHUR are to be elected. Tho
reason given for this opinion is simply that
the business interests of the country cannot
afford to take the risk of q change at this
time Now, they said, in unison of ox-
preston, the business of the country Is
prosperous - never more so. Manuac
turers are making money. Merchandising
is active and healthy. Labor is employed
at fair compensation. Any change must
be for the worse, and we cannot afford TO
have a change in the midst Of this unparal.
leled prosperity. One said "My COM
"pany can better afford to subscribe and
pay to the republican cause $4,000 to
prevent a change of administration than
" to have it occur at this time with all its
risks and chances Of i'll consequences"
This feeling, added to the usual politi-
cal considerations and influences of an inn
portant canvass, assures the election of the
republican presidential ticket in the pend
ing contest 1t is of interest with the man.
ufucturing, mercantile and industrial classes
of the country, which leads to fixed and
controlling determination that the demo-
cratic party shall not triumph in this
election, and they are controlling power
when they come to the front actively. This
is the keynote of the situation.

the party will not adopt them as lis leaders
and dictators; they fear" for the success
Of the party because the WooLsEYs, the
SEELEYs and the SCHURzEs, upon whom
General GARFIELD was expected" (by these
gentlemen) to lean for counsel and sup
port in the present canvass, were con-
"spicuous by their absence" from the New
York conference. This is very funny.
The republican party has often had to get
along without the counsel and support of
these gentlemen. They could only become
conspicuous by their presence in its can.
because of their alb.
sence from the party which is so sadly in
need of being pacihcated.
We commend to these journalists and to
the Dr. WoOGsEYs and the other blessed
peace-makers the perusal of Mr. CURTIS
editorials on "The South" and "The Repub.
" lican Candidate and Conference" in the
last issue of Horper's Weekly, and hope they
will not feel too sore when they observe
that their absence from the conference was
not sufficiently conspicuous to attract the
notice Of that gentleman, the recognized
leader of all the purisIs and rcrormers and
paciicators in the party. Speaking of Con
eral GARFIELD, he says
" His visit brought him face to face with
party chiefs from the whole country, and
" il was most scrviceable in showing tho
union upon his candidacy Of all the ele.
"ments Of the party, and in confirming
" the impression of his entire freedom from
entangling alliances of any kind.n This
is notice from reform headquarters to the
WOoLsEYs and the SEELEYs and the
SCHURZEs that their fond expectation that
the republican candidate for president
would lean upon them exclusively for
counsel and support in the present canvass
will prove q disappointment; that no one
element of the party will be allowed to
dictate the course which lie shall pursue
in his administration. Mr.. CURTIS lays
down the correct doctrine and shows our
exact situation politically when he says of
the republican party that all its elements
are united for victory, and that its motto is
Entire freedom from entongling alliances"
We can assure these gentlemen that GEN
eral GARFIELD will not abandon the policy
of pacfcaton which was adopted twenty
years ago by the republican party. He
will enforce that policy by constitutional
means and in the true spirit of American
mRnhooa--nOt by a surrender to rebels,
not by an abandonment of the principles
solemnly laid down in the platform of his
party. If this is the sort of paciication
you require, Messrs. Doctors WooLsEY,

two in number), be happy in the Nssur.

HANCOCK on FEMALE SUFFRAGE.

We have been much pleased at the
craftsmanship of General HANCOCK rs dis
played in the interview with those eminent
advocates Of suffrage - SUSAN b. An
THoNY, LILLE DEvERAUX BLAKE and
others Of the persuasion who could not re-
sist the temptation to see the gorgeous with
all his trappings and surroundings on
parade day, and made the visit TO Gov
enor's island for that purpose. They
would like to know his views and what, in
the language Of TWEED, he was going to do.
As HANCOCK doesn't propose to do any
thing, the problem was how to satisfy the
delegation and ut the same time not TO ex-
pose the ruse to be sneered at by all the
lovely noses whose wearers had come to
the exhibition. After giving them time
to feast their eyes upon the glittering uni
form and the delectable mustache, he
smiled in the blandest manner and said
that, according to the doctrines of his party,
the president could not NEEDLE with voting
in the states; but if congress should pass q
bill to allow women to vote in the District
of Columbia just the same as men, he would
pledge himself not to veto it. Then the
little dcars clapped their hands and
boamed, and shook their curls and went
away satisfied. As there are no elections
in the District of Columbia, and won't be
while the democratic party can help it, the
promise of the superb is on par with ille
old one that larks will be caught whom the
sky falls; but as it is not probable that
either of the parties knew this-as HAN

to play upon the ignorance of such dele

PROMISE AND PERFORMANCE.

1t is well remembered that the demo-
cratic party, when last elevated to power,
won the continued confidence of the people
by loudly promising rctrenchment and re-
form and a faithful administration of the
general government for the happiness and
welfare of all. Yet the records of the gov
ernment and concurrent history show that
the expenses of the government were fear
fully increased, and that the fruits of DEM
ocratie policy were felt in PROSTATE in
dustry, paralyzcd commerce, a bankrupt
treasury and large and steadily increas-
ing public debt. BY unduly enlarging the
patronage of the government that party
corrupted public morals, debased public
sentiment, sapped the foundations of pub
lie virtue and destroyed to a great extent
the independence of tho citizen. Conup-
tion gained undisputed control of every
department Of the government and stamped
its stain upon the nation, and shameless
pronigacy was giving US bankruptcy at
home and national dishonor abroad. A wild
saturnalia ragged which may well be COM
pared to the worst days of the worst en-
perors of Rome. Treason lurked in every
department Of the government, and struck
hands with grand and petty larceny.
Everybody stole-cabinet officers custom.
house officials, postmasters and clerks
reveed in theft. Even the restraints of the
Spartan law were not applied, for criminals
were never punished upon detection, but
danced galy off to plot rebellion against
the government they had first robbed and
then betrayed.
When Mr. BUCHANAN entered upon the
discharge of the Office of president of the
United States there was in the treasury
S26 000, 900 in ten months it had all disap-
peared and $40, 100000 had to be borrowed
Eight months afterward another $40, 900 900
was borrowed, and five months later
another $1O,OO0OO0 was had in the same
way. All this in time Of profound peace
During this last democratic administra-
tion the public debt was increased from
S29,OGO,3s6 to S9O,s61s2s, or nearly SG2,-
100000. The conduct of the administra-
ton was so manilestly corrupt that Mr.
PRYOR, democrat from Virginia, speaking
of it on the floor of the house, said:
Look at the disclosures which have been
brought before the house at this very session
1S59-G0). know that some gentlemen upon
this side Of the chamber are disposed or indi-
cate disposition, to throw the veil Of con-
cealment over revelations of executive abuse
| have no such inclination, sir. They are
enormous. They are crying grievances, / as
sure gentlemen, which smell very badly in
the nostris Of the people.
We hope and believe that the intelligent
people Of the United States are preparing
to pronounce in thunder tones their disap-
probation of a political party whose policy
has ever been at war with their interests,
whose principles have ever tended to lower
the standard of public virtue, and whose
practices have ever been and are dangerous
to the independence Of the citizen and to
constitutional liberty,
