fairly be said that the future of the anthracite
properties is not necessarily gloomy because
Mr.. Vanderbilt has found the load of the Read
ing and the Jersey Central too heavy. Indeed,
change in the control of those properties
might lead to a decided and most beneficial
change in the policy and relations of the coal
carrying companies.

DIR. SIORRS on TIE POLITICAL SITUA-



The striking interview with the Rev. DR..
Storrs which was printed in THE TRIBUNE yes
terday is a valuable contribution to the litera-
turc of the campaign. Il is a strong, compre-
hcnsiye and convincing argument intavor OF the
Republican candidates. DIR. Storrs rarely raises
his voice on political questions; but when he
speaks it is with no uncertain sound. He states
clearly and forcibly his reasons for supporting
Mr. Blaine. He has evidently been wrought
| np to considerable pitch of righteous indig-
nation at the wanton attacks made upon the
great statesman who is destined to lead the Re-
publican army to glorious victory three weeks
hence but there is no hint of anger IN his tone.
His words are the calm and dSpassionate utter
nee of one who has felt deeply on the subject
and knows precisely what he wishes to say
Dr Storrs finds strong negative proof OF Mr..
Blaincs inconuptibility in the fact that the
shrrwd OakcS AmeS made no attempt To get
him Interested in his schemes, although Mr.
Blaine WIS at that time IA most influential mem
bcr of the House. The sentences which have
been violently Wrcstcd from their proper con-
nccion in the Speakers letters. DR.. Storrs
thinks, are fairly susceptible of an interprcta-
tion not dishonorablc to him .; and he emphat
icaly asserts that the asSailants of Alr. Blame
have not shown him to be unworthy of the sup
port of his countrymcn.
OF Mr. Cleveland DR.. Storrs says that since
his nomination his character has received "A
fatal wound" In language that is scOrching IN
its severity he cXcams forgiveness Is one
thing. Popular cororaton Is quite another.
Such approval of such man would be the worst
of examples to young men and "would put dis
honor upon the American name among all
Christian peoples
On the great question of protection what Dr.
Storrs has To say is equally to the point. With
ont the ghost ol theory to support, he insists
that young nation like ours must protect lis
native industries, and that this policy "tcndS
TO diversity industry, to educate skill, to at
tract aud reward inventive genius, To make
young nation more quickly independent of
Others. as well rs richer in internal revenues"
He sharply condemns the party which Is dis
posed to face both ways on so vital and I'M
portant matter rs this.
In conclusion DR.. Storrs pays well deserved
tribute to the Republican party whose history
he well says ha, been noble one. And the
old spirit still pcrmeateS 1.-THE spirit of
patriotism, of fidelity to freedom and righteous

HEST TIRGINI4.

From the beginning of the campaign the
Democrats have been afraid of West Virginia,
mainly because of their local dissensions there.
At one time they were so hopeless that IN
estimates by high authority it was calculated
that the Democrats would carry OHIO and lose
West Virginia. Then there was an effort 10
heal dissensions, said to have been successful
and the State was loudly claimed by 10000
majority. Within a few days the local con-
trOverSies have broken out worse than ever
and Democrats are freely saying that the
quarrel has lost the State. 1t would be well not
to count too much on these outgivings But 1t
is true that the Republicans have been gaining
steadily for years. particularly because OF the
tariff question and the great development OF
mining and manufactures i'll portions OF the
State so that they had fair fighting chance to
carry it without any Democratic detection.
The vote for some years has been as follows

on the part OF the special committee of the Bird &c
trustees At the meeting on saturday, Mayor Low,
the chairman. announced that there would be no
more public hearings. From the character of the
two sessions already held this Is plainly a wise de-
cision. The committee was appointed to consider
the future management of the Bridge the reduction
of fares and the increase of means of transporta-
ton. We have already sad that no consideration
of these topics was necessary and the committee
has not considered them. Instead. 1t has been
listening exclusively to suggestions from represen-

LOGAN OR UENDRTCTSP


General LOgln's magnificent campaign ha,
produced a deep impression upon 'he minds of
business men in Oiio ana Pennsylvania, and
! wherever he has been. The conservative class,
,hough not AT first inclined to rejoice at his Sc
| lection, have been watching his utteiances, and
! have been profoundly gratifed to find him So
able III argument 50 clear i'll his convictions on
linancia and industrial questions, and SD mod
crate and prudent III the measures he advocates.
1t is gratifying to thousands to feel that in the
selection of General Logan also, the Rcpubl-
an party has made no mistake; that the Gov
crnmcnt would be SAFE in his hands if a Prcsi-
dent should again be remOveI by death. Brave
in war, he has tried with The same courage and
fidelity to mastcrthc highest and most dillicu t
tasks of craftsmanship in peace, and his con-
duet shows that he has earned the confidence of
The people, as in war he earned the absolute
confidence OF the soldiers.
But will conservative men tell us what
would happen were Mr.. Hendricks to become

The votes in 1850 and 1876 were for Presi-

1850, though their vote had slightly increased.
their majority was barely 1000; and in the
Conglc ssional elections of 1852 the Republic II

many coal mines have been opened, and the
large gains were mainly que to permanent
causes On the basis Of this election, il might
be re Soned that the Republicans had the best
chance to carry the State but the vote on both
