however, and accounting for much Of IT, ia
the foreign influence, always 30 powerfully
e1erted in this great importing city, where
go many foreigners are engaged az mer-
chants, capitalists, bankers, brokers and
editors. The importing houses and the
foreign steamship companies and bankerss
have for long time kept the Ere,ing Post
slive. and contributed to the revenue Of
the Timer. Bu. the latter paper has for
the past year or two been the organ of q
powerful clique Of Wall street gam blers,
which has command Of immense sums Of
money, and has assailed railroad proper
ties with great pr. fl. Every day
the opinions Of this Clique have been
found in the columns Of that paper; they
have fabricated false dispatches in great
numbers which have appeared in, its
columns, and clerk in the ohica Of
Woerishoffer & Go. has prepared the week
ly review of business and financs, in Which
the Times has recklessly assailed Tho credit
Of capitalists and corporarions. Woeris-
hotter, the foreigner, and Cammack, the
rebel-notoriou during the war and since
for his hostility to the Union cause-are
the conspicuous leaders of this CLIQUE,
which seems to own the Times, body and
soul-if it has q soul. .s8it 3sSig1
Then you must add the Belmont British
interest, and the circle is complete. OF
course you know how the Rothschilds have
been represented in this country for long
time by August Belmont, and you know
that Belmont's son was the impudent msm-
ber of Congress who made such disgrace
ful attack upon Mr.. Blaine for his course in
regard to Peru. lauppose you know, too,
that the Rothschilds were among the Eng
lish capitalists who held the claima sgainst
Peru, and, when Mr.. Baine's policy was ar
rested they were enabled 70 seize
Tor themselves & through Chill, tho
rich deposits of guauo, which were
at once advertised for sale at an
enormous figure in London journala. The
millions which they doubtless realized
paid them we'll for stirring up Congress-
man and one or two British papers in New
York to attack Secretary Blaine. But
have never been able to understand why
American creditors should get nothing, not
even fair hearing, while British credltors
used an American Congress and American
journals to get full control of the guano de-

Already respectable men who were led

B:sins are coming up to his support. Mora
than half Of the men within my own
knowledge who gave this reason Tor opposi-
ton at the outaet have been convinced that
they were in the wrong, and are already
supporting the ticket heartily. The oppc.

Mr. Curtis, and the few men who believe
in machine civil service Of the British
sort, will have to choose between the Re-
publican party, which desires some reform,
and the Democratic party, which will tole-
rata no reform whatever. In proportion
as they are honest and candid, they will
return to the Republican ranks.
A good many free traders will stay out if
the Democratic party does not Disgust
them by craN fl hing. Is record dur ny
the last session has encouraged them to
hope. But for every vote thus lost the
Republican party will gain many votes
among the workingmen in this and every
Eastern State. The more the free traders
JOIN the Democratic party the more the
workingmen will leave it. $50
The British Influence will fight Mr..
Blaine desperately to the end. It controls
goad many, votes here. but mostly Demo-
cratic votes. On the other hand it would
amaze you to see how many Democratic
therr are who say "they want an Ameri-,.
can President for once, and propoee to vote
for Mr. Blaine, go that the American flag
may be kept flying from the White House
all the time" That feeling is spreading
rapidly in this city and in all the region
