The above mysterious number
seems to be giving trouble to business
nowadays. 1t is the only element
in politics about which any genuine
business complaint has been made
specific. That specific instance is
contained in the following address
made to the Board Of Aldermen Of
New York;
TO The Honorable Board Of Aldermen Of
The City Of NeY York.
Now into your honorable councils
appears your constituent the under,
signed, Felix MCGOWAN, and kindly
complaining to your honorable body,
saith: That he is a hotel keeper in
this city, on the northwest corner oil
Tenth ayenve and Twenty-ninth
street, but that his premises fronting
on Tenth avenue has a number by
which, unfortunately, it isknown
to the directory, to the census takers,
TO election officers, TO the assessors
and to the public who there pass and
repass. Your petitioner uses the
word unfortunately" because oflate
the number has become to him a
source ofgreatannoyance. The num-

elers refuse to come in because they

Der. Boys place their thumbs in odd
abutments to their noses and whirl
defiance at the number with their
fingers. Some irreverent parties
have even insulted complainant and
petitioner by calling out, Hello, old
Garfield, give us biyvyp or else,
what are your aims, anyhow, old
DeGolyer?" SO that life is becoming
a grievous burden to petitioner
Besides he and his premises are in.
suited by having his number, 329,
chalked or painted up all over the
city. Indeed petitioner is afraid Of
going down to posterity as aOld 1923"
instead Of as a reputable and in
dustrious hotel keeper. = Wherefore
he prays yonr honorable body tc
change the number of his premises
to S289 or 32S$, inasmuch as he is
convinced that 800 will always be a
reproach TO him and his premises.

Trying to Alarm Bust N ess.

The friends of the Credit Mobilier

ture expenditures in Ohio and lndi.

at high pressure.
What is to be done2 "Why," cry
the Ringrobbors, the Credit Mobilier-
lists, and the Christian statesmen, in
chorus, "alarm the bushes menl"
And so they have taken with one ac-
cord to alarming the business men,
ut will, they declare, be a disastrous
thing to business to have this great
country once more reunited, and will
also be runious to "American indus.
try" if the Pennsylvania soldier
should be elected President over
their shifty member of the Golden
Free Trade Club.
They had meeting in Cleveland
the other day to alarm the business
men. Some of the most solid and
experienced political strikers about
the town were present, and exhibit
ed the utmost trepidation for the
safety of the business interests
They we're addressed in high
strain of warning by Richard G.
Parsons, the man who conveyed the
$4,000 fee to Garfield when he "held
the purse strings of the nation" and
was desired to "speak to Governor
Shepherdn in behalf of a fraudulent
pavement. Indeed, Mr.. Parsons was
for many years prominently indenti.
fled with business-that is to say,
with The lobby business-in WASH
ington, and its only natural that he
should be in a terrible state of APP
prehension concerning the fate Of
his business after Hancock's election.
Whether Parsons will succeed in
alarming other business men to the
point of contribution to the enor.
nous corruption fund which the Re.
publican leaders now confess they
must have to raise the smallest hope
Of success, depends upon his ability
to prove that the money will be
more wisely spent than tho vast
sums which have been already
wasted.

southern Sentiment.

The recent letter of General Han
cock, relative to rebel claims, is
'heartilyendorsed by the press and
people Of the South, and it would
seem now that the. cause of this
feigned alarm among Republican
speakers is forever removed. That
the people Of the South fully acqui-
esce in the sentiments of Gen. Han.
cock regarding such, and that they
never had the remotest idea Of press
ing or expecting these claims to be
paid, can be most positively Inferred
from the extracts following:
The New Orleans Democrat the
leading journal Of the South, and one
that is more likely to reflect true
Southern sentiment, says concerning
Hancock's letter: eve are glad that
General Hancock has at least spoken
on the subject in a manner to lay at
rest the bugaboo Of Southern claims
forever, and nowherein the country
will his emphatic utterances receive
more hearty and cordial Endorsement
than in the Southern States"
The Mobile Register, anothe of the
leading dailies of'that section, thus
comments on the celebrated letter.
General Hancock states distinctly
that if he were made President he
would veto all legislation providing
for the payment Of any of that class
ofclaims which have been the burden
OF the warning song Of the Republi-
can alarmists. 1t strikes US that
this covers the whole ground. AS
for secession, there is no doubt of its
having gone down never to rise
again"
The Democratic State Executive
Committee Of Alabama thus closes in
an address indorsing General Han
cock: "Our party in Alabama
stands committed by its platform, by
the action of every department Of all
tho State Government, and by the
judges Courts elected byit-first,
To an acceptance of the results of the
war; second, to the equal political
rights of every citizen; third, to the
faithful maintenance of the public
credit, State and National, and I'M
ainching opposition to the repudia
tion ofany public obligations; fourth,
to the free and fair exercise of the
elective franchise, and fifth, to the
strictest economy in the administers
ton of public affairs" F
The Memphis Appeal, another rep
resentative Southern paper, in an
editorial on the letter winds up with
the following sentence: "But Han
cock suddenly makes his appearance
in letter and exterminates this last
falsehood with as much ease as people
used to put ont the candle with the
extinguisher hanging to its side. y

The STATE Election.

4hS 9ksttC 1IkCCklOMs
The State election is now over
The canvass on the part Of the Dem.
ocratic party and also so far as the
National Greenback-Labor party was
concerned, was conducted upon high
moral grounds. Our speakers were
courteous and gentlemanly toward
the opposing parties. No abuse or
villifcation Of opposition candidates
was INDUCED in. The Register had
no unkind word to utter against the
character of any opposition candi-
date. This paper advocated Demo
cratic principles only, and appealed
to the reason and good sense of the
voter, rather than to his prejudice
and passion, in comparing the Dem.
ocratic party with the Republican
party; and this was the line Of poll
cy pursued by MI our speakers and
workers.
How sit with the Republican
party? How has it been with the
Tribune-Monitor, the Republican or.
gan in this county, Their canvass
was one of personal abuse from the
start; their speakers went over this
county, lying upon and misrepre-
senting Democratic candidates and
Democratic citizens. The Republi-
can slanderer stalked through the
county, everywhere, and the dirty
hireling performed his duty without
fear Of prosecution, because he knew
he was an irresponsible scoundrel.-
The basest passions of men were ap-
pealed to by Republicans, until the
lowerorder ofRepublicans came to be-
lieve that it was special duty they
owed the Republican party to curse
and insult q Democrat whenever they
met him. The Tribune-iNonitor was
filled each week, during the canvass,
with the most villainous abuse Of
our candidates and Of the Democrat
ic party in general. Even private
Democratic citizens-men who had
helped him financially and ether
wise-did not escapehis Shiny tongue
or his slanderous pen. The vilest
language known to the English, was
hurled weekly at our candidates and
private democratic citizens.
The whole aim Of Gibbons, seem.
ed to be to blacken the character Of
every candidate on the Democratic
county ticket, and of every man who
opposed the Republican party. But
he may be excused, because he was
a tool in the hands of few design.
ing men, who had their clutches up
on him, and he had to do their bid.
ding or be crushed.
No dirtier paper was ever issued
from any office, than was the last
1ribttne-Monitor. 1t was exceedingly
abusive Of both our candidates and
private citizens. All decent people
denounced that issue, as well as the
man who penned the filthy, SANDER
Gus and lying articles. Gibbons
blackguardism and indecent and un-
justifable attacks Upon respectable
citizens, will turn with double-force
upon his head, a tool though he be,
in the hands of bad men. There
will be day of reckoning.
