THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
Merchants Expecting Improvement Dur
ing the Rest of the Year.


ing the Rest of the Year.
WASHINGTON Nov. PA well Informed busi-
ness man from New York, in speaking of the
prospects for business during the remainder of
the year, said that the merchants of New York
who can discntangle their thoughts from the
political excitement calculating the chances
for some improvement in the mercantile bust
ness during the remainder OF the year. There
are favorable and unfavorabe factors in the
problem but, on the whole the former out
weighs the latter. In the first place. there has
been great deal of trade of one kind and an
other held back on account of the election. and
this will now have to be attended to- Cotton
grain and dairy products. il is believed. will be
the first to feel this impulse and the activity in
these Will be measurably felt i'll other channels
of trade. Already coffee, sugar and other sta
pies are going forward in increased quantities by
canal in anticipation of the close of navigation,
and this also has a heathful influence at large.
The wool traders are more or less discouraged,
and but few of them say they arc making any
money. Like the cotton manufacturers, they are
disposed to attribute this in no small degree to q
possible further reduction of the tariff under
Democratic administration, Notwithstanding the
conviction on the part of long headed politicians
of both parties that so far from reviviug tbas
agitation at Washington MIR Cleveland and his
supporters, should Mr. Cleveland be found to
have been elected will give it the cold shoulder
AZ thing from which they have nothing to gam.
When this conviction is shared by the wool
manufacturers and merchants confidence will ne
restored, and it is believed will take fresh
start
Among the dry goods men it must be said
there are but very moderate expectations for
the remainder Of the year, but they console
themselves with the offsetting reflection that
1888 may he an improvement on its predecessor.
Though the list of business embarrassmcnts has
dwindled down to an insignificant part they also
say there are still good many bad debts hang
ing oyer the market, and it is impossible to say
how many of these within the next six weeks
are to be wiped out This is an element of un-
certainty. and tends TO restrain the granting Of
fresh credits. The retail trade as q rule, is
doing much better than the all but universal
tendency to croak or complain would imply. and
as the holidays are at hand increased activity in
that direction is pretty certain. Even at this
time the big bazars in Fourteenth street,
Twentythird street and upper Broadway are
putting on Christmas complexion, and throngs,
especially of lady customers, with which they
are oeleaguered bespeak about every thing else
except hard times.

entirely wipe out the plurality. and on this alone
are based the hopes of the Republicans AT
midnight forty of the sixty counties had been
thirby-three for Cleveland leaving his plural
ity at 1885, according to the claims of the
Democrats. This practically ends any prob
ability of any serious increase to Blaines
maiorities in rural counties, although 1t is fair
to bear in mind that where gains are expected
the canvass is delayed and the case may yet
be presented. in eight or ten counties where
case has been made up. The real fight is in this
city, and the Republicans hopes were greatly
dampened when Elhu Root announced yester
day that he found the majority to be 43, 126
wiping out the gain of 426 votes announced or
Saturday. The total number of votes upon
which, in some form or other, George Bliss eX
poets TO take exception of the informal count
already had is about four thousand. About one
third of these defective or blank ballots, and
the rest are Butler st. John and other votes
which were miscounted, excluded or otherwise
aided to swell the Cleveland vote

The Two Chairmen in New York.

Letter in Pittsburg Disl atch.
Daniel Manning the personal friend and polit-
ical manager of Mr.. Cleveland, is on the shady
side of fOrtyfive, six feet tall, and built like an
athlete. He Is man whose distinguished bear
ing would entitle him to recognition III any
society. His full, round face is smooth shaven,
save for a dark. iron gray mustache that hides
his mouth. His Jaws are heavy but clean cut,
and his forehead broad and high His head is
massive, and covered with black, curling hair,
lightly streaked with gray. When he expresses
himself vigorously each separate curl seems to
partake of his earnestness, and vibrates like a
leaf. Mr.. Mannings voice is deep and sonorous,
but he is not given to much talking. Like John
Kelly, he leaves the talking TO his lleutenants,
such as Judge Fellows. while he stands behind
and works the wires Those who saw his mas
terly movements, his calm dgnifed self-posses-
sion, in the Chicago convention, when he beat
Grady. Cochran and Kelly back inch by inch in
their bitter opposition TO Cleveland, remember
Dan Manning one of the most striking figures
in that great gathering of party leaders In
personal intercourse he is quiet easy talker
but generally goes straight to the point in what
he SAYS. Dan Manning never INDUCES in any
commonplace pleasant nothings.
General J. ID. Warren chairman of the Re
publican State committee of New York. is pro
prietof of the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser,
and lopks more like good-natured country
squire than shrewd politician. He is in the
neighborhood of sixty years of age, wears full
whiskers, cropped short and almost white and
weighs about two hundred pounds. General
Warren IS one of the original stalwarts He
was one of the warmest supporters President
Arthur had when he was suggested for the sec
ond term, and it was not until long after the
Chicago convention had nominated Mr.. Blaine
that he consented to enter upon the campaign
| His paper has seen but little of him since the
canvass opened actively. General Warren is a
smooth, forcibe talker In fact, he speaks as
he writes. Occasionally he breaks INTO a
brusgue manner and at such times his short
sentences count double. 1t was he who was in
strumental i'll inducing Mr. Blaine to make the
trip through New York and Ohio. He has al
ways, during this campaign, insisted that the
fight in New York would be bitter and close,
and the great danger to Ue avoided by the Re
publicans was overconhdence. The present re-
suit. it is safe to say, was not anticipated by
General Warren.

Mutterings Against Lukewarm stalwarts.


Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-Thcre are mutterings
here among the Republicans against those who
refused to support Blaine and Logan at the polls
last week. 1t is safe to predict that there is
treasured up against so-1e of the lukewarm
stalwarts some scores that will be paid
off at the first opportunity Information
comes here from New York that the pro
posed election of President Arthur to the
Senate will be contested and objected to by those
who worked for the success of the ticket during
the late campaign. The Blaine Republicans are
getting back on the President an old remark
the stalwarts recently paraphrased. They say
that a Republican who was too good to work
for the regular nominees on the national ticket
is too good to be elected to the United States
