DISTRICTS.
To The Edftor Of The Tribune.
SIR: Though wi hdrawn 10y iafrnitics incident
to old age from participation in thcpolitcal canvass
now progressing. am not indifferent TO its bearings
upon the common welfare. An experience Of moro
than half a century demonstrates the value Of
Wing and Republican policies to the interests OF
our people the stabiityof our institutions, and the
prosperity OF our country. With my limited faciii-
ties for information l am unable To conjecture
viii IN party will carry the State. The prominent fea
turc in the canvass reveals apathy unparalleled
Ordinarily such conditions have told against Us
the approaching election may prove an exception 10
the rule. President Garfcd's suitrrngs and death
awakened a deep and prevailing sympathy. his scr
vices and uiierugs are gratefully remembered,
and will am confident call ont a very large class
Of quiet voters. our only danger. II ] understand
1.-THE signs of the times" Is attributable 10 the pro-
tractcd and painful conflicts between Republicans,
first in Congress and then in own State Legs
lature But every consideration of duty and
patriotism calls upon us To forget those unhappy
discussions Pre- ident Arthur, far rs his rohcy
has been developed has furnished evidences OF justice
and wisdom worthy Of imitation. Hi. Admiuistra-
ton de erve, our united and Jealous support. 1t
the leaders of sections unite and thrrr respective
friends will bc found cordially and zcalouGy at
work in support OF q party Ia which we are in
debted for the preservation Of our Government aud
Union.
With local Discussions IL IL moro difficult to deal.
And yet in reference 10 Legislative nominations ihc
duty in this city TO harmonic il imperative. By
uniting upon good nominees for senators and Mem
bcrs Of the Assembly the Republican asccudancy
in the Legislature will be preserved. Conflicting
nominations in several districts imper majority
in the legislature There is brief time only for adj
iustiug these difficulties The loss of Republican
districts by Republican discussions will be mex
cusable II Me-srs. Gibbs and TrcUaine are not
Withdrawn and some such man a. General Lloyd
Aspinwal nominated. one of the most reliable Re
publican districts of the city will be lost. The with
drawal of Dr. Hayes and the nomination of Mr. Van
Allen saves the With Assembly District. In other
Assembly districts with two Republicans in the
field steps should be Immediately taken to with
draw the weaker and unite the whole vote of the
district upon the stronger candidate.
The Republicans are truly fortunate in nomina-
ting Mr.. James Talcott for the Xth district. Mr..
Talcott j. an entcrprisng merchant with much
general information, an earnest Republican, an
opcn-handcd and opcn-hcartcd friend OF the unfOr-
tunato and the destitute, and Jealous in all good
works and il elected will discharge his duties Is
to encourage the people in the future to find more
representatives of Mr.. Talcotts class and charac-
ter. l. W.
