THE POLITICAL SITUATION FROM FINANCIAL
STANDPOINT.
The North Americaa Retiew for November
publishes a long and carefully prepared adj
dress on THE Political Situation from a
Financial Standpoint, signed by f. D. Nor
gan. Hamilton Fish, j, j. !Astor, and dozen
other equally prominent business men, in
which the following occurs:
We have entered upon period OF hopeful ac.
ivity 10 commerce and industry. Trade nnltiplies,
manufactures, start forward with yigor, Iagor re.
loees In fair wages and fu enployment-yet We
have but Just emerged from that period of disaFter
in which the resources OF all were greatly strained
and the reserves of capital greatly exhausted
There has not been time yet for business and
industry, in their various branches, TO get fully
into condition for profitable work. Mech less has
there even been time for the accumulation of new
reserves. The business interests are not prepared
TO bear another period of strain or disaster They
have Just began to thrive. A reaction now, like
relapse from fever, would be more dangerous than
the original disorder. The business of this country
is not III condition to endure the enormous strain
grave anxiety and prolonged uncertainty of com
plete change OF the financial policy The fear OF
disastrous change would PROSTATE public credit al
most as much as those changes themselves.

REMARKABLE EDITORIAL BY DANA.
New YORK, October 1Sth.-The Sun has a
remarkable editorial under the heading - No
Mincing Matters, from which the following
are extracts:
The Democrats lave sustained an unexpected and
Notifying defeat in Indiana and Ohio 1t is disas
trous ana may prove fatal 1t is silly to make light
OF it. and idle try to white it away by cunning
calculate ms and adrot figuring The Democrats are
beaten-badly beaten-whether beaten to death or
not Is the only question. 1t has seemed to that
the whole Democratic campaign was q series OF
blunders. The party had one man-only one
whose immense strength had been demonstrated on
the national fed-Samuel j. Tiden. II is the one
great, pre- eminent name in the Democratic party
Il was Relormer indeed, as his record in the office
OF Governor had proven. He was statesman as
all his public papers, especially his letter declining
10 compete for the nomination, has elphatcally
shown Childess, like Washington, he had only
his country to love, and even ties of kindred we're
ruthlesslv sundered by his stern and unreleuting
hand Not the fantest blush OF improper practice
rested upon them. So patriotic, so lofty, so coBvipc
ing was his great letter to the Convention which
made the nomination, that the most adroit and
abest Of his enemies after reading it, ayowtd his
disposition to support him. This illustrious
the Democratic party thought it could afford dis
panse with as a candidate. There is word OF one
syllable with two o's in it which might not nappro-
priately be inserted here The party nominated
General Hancock, good man weighing $50 pounds;
but Hancock is not Elden. Then, as a crown
ing to the act OF folly the party went into
the State of Thomas A. Hendricks and took another
man for Vice President. ANY name other than that
Of Hendricks would have been folly enough; but to
go one step further, they had to take a man with
the most odious reputatioD-that OF skinfiint-to
overcome. There is said to he a fellow who made
an occupation of butting his head against rough
New England stone wall for twenty five cents The
Democratic party, in making tn nomination,
senble himonly, if report be true, they do not get
the twenty five cents. Now, are for looking the
actual facts squareiy in the face He who cannot
do that without blinking, in defeat and disaster as
well as in victory, has no manhood In his make.
We are beaten-we thrown but are not de-
stroyed. The disaster We have experienced may yet
be retrieved.
