The situation in the East is so uncertain that
the fnanciers in London are easily excited
They were greatly alarmed yesterday over the
apti- Russian speech of Premier Tisza in the
Hungarian Parliament But the fact that an
outbreak is expected seems to be good reason
for believing that one will not take place at
present.
The County Democracy leaders seem to have
no confidence in Mayor Grace IS veracty. He has
repeatedly declared that he would not under
any circumstances accept denomination this
year And yet these leaders met last night and
declared that Mayor Grace was their candidate
and that they expected to re.elect him. NO
doubt this was meant TO be complimentary,
but it is capable of different construction.
II doesn't matter much " HON the Democrats
of Massachusetts nominate for State offices,
and this probably accounts for the rapidlty
with which their Convention yesterday APP
proved the candidates chosen for it by com
mittee of leaders. The Mugwumps were al
lowed to have their own way, and John +. An
drew, one of their number, was nominated for
Governor He is young man who would
never have been thought of for the place
except for his wealth.
The fve-cent fare rate at all hours, which
went into effect at midnight on the Third
Avenue elevated road, will be boon to the
residents of the East Side of the city. 1t ought
to have the effect of bringing down fares to
three cents on some Of the surface roads. The
cost of operating these roads is much less than
it was when the five-ceut rate was established,
while there has been an enormous increase In
travel. As there has been no improvement in
re methods of transportation on the surface
roads the public is at least entitled to demand
q reduction in the rates of fare.
The death of four men caused by an explo-
sion yesterday of dynamite in mixing house
in Westminster County, following so soon after
the death of ten men caused by similar ex-
plosion in w-Jersey, suggests the need OF
some new method of manufacturing this dan
eerous explosive. One of the proprietors OF the
factory which suffered by yesterdays explo-
sion says that with proper precantion there Is
no danger in carrying on this work. 1t can
hardly be possible that the w0rkmen would
Knowingly do anything that could lead to au
explosion. 1t is TO he hoped that the coroner,
who promises a thorough investigation, will be
able to ascertain whether or not ignorant men
are nut in charge of this dangerous business,
or whether the method of making the dyna-
mite is at fault.
The Executive Committee of the Republican
County Committee has issued call for
county convention to be held OIL October 10,
eighteen days before the election. The date is
parly enough to allow of vigorous canvass.
providing there is no adjournment of the con-
vention. The citizens should have abundant
opportunity to learn of the qua ifications of the
candidates for Mayor and other Offices Presi-
dent Boot, In his address to the members
of the committee, expressed the thoughts that
should be influential in creating Republican
activity. when he said that the Presidential
contest OF 1888 would probably depend on the
vote of New York. and the State should be Re-
publican before 1883 to insure victory
that year. The immediate duty Of the en-
tolled Republicans of this city is to make sure
That their votes at the primaries called for next
