York Times writes from Florida:
''The leading Republicans feel conf
dent, and they are thoroughly aroused
and working unitedly for the success
of the ticket, and their efforts ought
to be utilized and made effective by
substantial recognition from the Ma
tional Committe.
"A New York Tribune correspon-
dent, writing of the old Greenback
heresies in the fourth congressional
district of Maine says: The Republi.
! cans have faced this issue boldly this
year, and the whole region has been.
carefully canvassed by speakers, who
dwelt chiefly on the financial issues
| and the tariff. A vast amount of
sound political information has thus
been disseminated; and to-day, as a
result, the Greenbacker is becoming
more and more rare phenomenon"
Mr.. G.. w. Atkinson, member of
| the National Republican Committee,
of West Virginia, gives the most
| encouraging reports of the degree of
interest manifested in his State, and
| agrees with Mr.. Canaday of North
Carolina in declaring that SHOULD the
| Republicans be victorious in Indiana
in their October fight, there is every
reason to believe that North Carolina
and West Virginia will fall into line
Republican States.
MFR. Potts, the Republican Cub
ernatorial candidate in New Jersey,
does not intend to pursue stay-at-
home canvass for the office. He will
| not contine himself to the large cities
where almost every intelligent man
can find all the facilities necessary to
keep himself informed as to what has
been done, is doing, and is promised
| by the great parties, but he will strike
out into the pines Of Ocean county,
| the marshes of Burlington and the
wastes and sands of Atlantic and
Cape May Counties, where the appear
ance of candidate has more effect
| than any political document or docu-
ments.
"A curious piece of information
reaches Washington through reliable
sources from New York in regard to
the financial features of Democratic
| politics in Indiana, and accounts for
the refusal of funds. 1t appears that
| during the campaigns of late years
the larger share of the money to carry
the State was contributed from New
York, and now it seems that the
money has generally been distributed
| among n select few of the managers,
instead of being put where in will do
the most good. The New Yorker now
decline to have anything more to do
with furnishing funds for the main
tainance of a few INDIANA Democratic
politicians.
The New York Herald does not
regard the result in Vermont as cal
culated to encourage or discourage
either party. 1t says: ''As the great
merits of General Hancock do not
shake the party allegiance of Vermont
Republicans, there is no reason for
supposing that he will draw off many
Republican voters elsewhere. The
same causes tend to produce the same
effects in all localities, and there is no
splendent military record of General
Hancock is better known than i'm
Vermont. The result on Tuesday
shows the Presidential election will
be a strict contest between tie two
great parties, and that the personal
popularity of the candidates will be
mere dust i'm the balance.u
1t is thought probable that when
the Tammany and Irving Hall Com
nttees Of New York meet again,
something will be done besides send
ing subcommittee to visit each
other. Said Democrat, who declared
he had no respect for either faction, to
a reporter on Wednesday: THE idea
Of these men coming together and de-
Gliding by lottery who shall govern
this great city and county! Why, sir,
it makes the Democratic party of this
city the laughing. stock of the country.
I have very good authority for
believing that before Tammany con-
sented to go into this conference on
the basis that the Mayoralty should
be surrendered to irving Hall, the
former demanded and obtained from
Mayor Cooper his assurance to renom-
mate Comptroller Kelly to his present
Office when his term expires in No
vember. The whole business is buy
and SELL"
