New YORK, Oct. 19.-If you had been
in this city Saturday and had witnessed the
monster parade of business men for CleVe
land and Thurman and tariff reform you
might easily have come to the conclusion
that there will be no one left to vote for
Harrison and Morton. This, however,
will hardly be realized, but it is fact thai
no political parade of the year can com
pare with the one mentioned. There were
10000 men in line, with brass bands, drum
and fife corps sprinkled all about them, SC
that the head of the procession was several
miles in advance of the other end. They
were not of the common run of paraders
either-silk hats and gold and silver-head
ed canes predominating in every file. The
substantial commercial interests OF the
metropolis have not been so aroused in
years as they are in this campaign. The
manufacturers section of the parade wa'
. striking feature; embracing, as it did, 6
large number of that class Of our citizens
whose interests are supposed (or by the
enemy are represented to be) bound up IL
the success of the party which insists upon
putting up the price of their products by
the addition of an enormous import tax.
When the paraders reached Wall street.
the mass of humanity stretching away fol
blocks from the United States Treasury
steps was so dense that no man could move
in his place. 1t was indeed a sight wei
worth seeing. Secretary Fairchild anc
Speaker Carlisle, the chief orators of the
day, were both received with enthusiastic
applause. The Secretary was in weak
voice, or, rather, it requires 8 voice of ex
traordinary strength to reach so vast ar
audience in the open air, and probably moi
more than one out of ten Of the assembled
thousands had an idea of what he wa;
talking about until they read it the next
day in the Star and other papers Speaker
Carlisle, however, had little difficulty ir
making himself heard even in the outskirts
of the great assemblage. His voice is Of
thst peculiar penetrating and far-reachine
character which, without seeming loud
falls with entire distinctaess st great dis
tance from the speaker. The crowd was
In full. sympathy with the views of the
distinguished orator, and they applaudeC
ss only such people can.
At the National Dem ocratic headQuarters
the leaders find diversion in the attempts
of the eneny-to extricate themselves from
that Senate tariff bill dilemma The well
authenticated report that Senator Allison
who IS charged with the paternity OF this
hybrid infant, has given it out that he
thinks It full time for the Senate to vino
up business and go home, is taken as pal
pabie admission of weakness. Senate!
German says it is playing directly into the
Democratic hands; that the Senate tariff
bill was only weak bluff and would never
be permitted to come to vote. It is ever
said that Senator Alhson's courseis is prompt
ed by an orninous rebellion in the Republi
csn ranks, which make it certain that the
bill could never get the full sanction of the
Republican majority, and would, there
fore, ignominiously fail If ever the rol
were called.

A very conservative estimate places The
total registration in this city this year a
100000. It is probable that $50, 600 vote:
viii be cast for Mayoralty candidates: The
County Democracy people think that Rew
1T viii get very nearly half of these. The
Tammany Hall folks. give him.about one
third, and elect Grant on paper by 10. .0O(
majority. Erhardt will be lucky if he
touches so, 900, and Coogan will not by
any possibility exceed 10000.
On the State and National tickets the In
dcstions are that the total Democratic vote
will notfal below 10000 This is what
the Democratic managers count on, and il
their hopes. are. realized, Cleveland will
have q ma5ority,in the city 20, 600 greater

The Base Ball League season closed on
Saturday in fine burst of local enthusi
asm over the New York club, which bore
off the champion trophy. An immense
demonstration was given the players. New
York pays several hundred thousand dol
lars year for the privilege of witnessing
ball games, and this is the first time it has
had winning team in many years.
Dr.. Talmage's last Sundays sermon on
s'Suicide" is being talked of everywhere.
It is a magnificent piece of rhetoric, and is
said to be one of the greatest efforts of the
distinguished divine.
