LET Tammany have the local off1ces!'
Such was the concise and deliberate declnra-
ton OF Don MANUEL DICKINSON. the dis
tinguished Wolverine Democrat. on Friday
last, in response to a request for his opin-
ion rs to tho propriety OF an independent
Democratic local ticket this year. Let
Tammany have the local Offices" declared
DICKINSON. His words have the true ring.
Fol several reasons they mean much. For
each one OF them the Judgment OF Don
MANUEL DICKINSON is to be justified and
applauded.
Why? Well. in the first place. the declara-
ton Of the great 1tinerant Democrat must
be construed as indicating that he and his
associates from other States understand
at its full value the need Of New lork's
electoral votes. and the grave peril OF n
campaign which might risk these essential
thirty-six votes. That is encouraging.
In the second place. 1t shows that n dis
tinguished Democrat from a State wherein
the battle OF the Democratic forces has only
TO be waged against their Republican OPP
ponents, and not against the malignity.
cupidity,' treachery. and shamelessness OF
professed Democrats. lending comfort to
the common enemy. comprehends the true
situation here. and takes no stock in the
Mugwump assaults against Tammany
Hall and the intelligent activity Of its
faithful representatives in direction Of the
public affairs OF the city OF New York.
Everybody here knows that the ancient
Democratic organization Of Tammany Hall
is the sheet anchor OF Democratic hopes in
the State OF New York. and that upon it's
fidelity. energy. and the effectiveness OF
its organization. all Democrats OF wisdom
and discernment are accustomed to depend.
Testimony to the same effect. from a Demo-
crat in another State. separated from New
York by a lake and a part Of Ohio. is grace
full because it is true.
Finally. the opinion Of Mr.. DICKINSON is
a truly Democratic acknowledgment OF the
right OF the citizens OF this town to choose.
unmolested by hostile mercenaries or
amiable tourists and wayfarers. their W
public servants. That Is the essence OF
true Democracy. That's what the people
are fighting for. That's what they are ex-
cited about. That's what they wish to pre-
serve in the South. and to protect from
assault in the North. That's what the Re-
publicans seek to overthrow by their odious
and abominable Force bill.
Don MANUEL is one thousand and one
times right. He Is up to date. He talks
sense. But will his advice be followed?

Such repsration for the past as was POSI-
bic for II. that newspaper TO- makes by
substantially pledging itself hereafter to
refrain from villfying the Democrats OF
New York and their Tammany leaders.
In this campaign the Erenin0 Post falls
into limo under the leadership Of Tammany
Hall. Instead OF nssailing the Tammany
General Committee and its methods. 1t
sees that they are essential to the election
Of CLEVELAND and STEVENSON. and 1t re-
ioices In them accordingly. As Chair
man DICKINSON OF tho Democratic
Campaign Committee said on Friday,
In speaking OF ROwDED0w GRAcE's anti
snapper a~nti-Tammany movement: l.
Tammany have the local Offices" Trust to
Tammnny leadership in this campaign is
now the wise Mugwump cShortation to all
those who desire the election OF CLEVELAND
and STEVENSON.
or course such a change OF attitude
on the part Of tho Erening Post will
be called Inconsistency by its Republican
critics. They would like tn SEQ it fighting for
division in the ranks OF the Democracy. In
stead Of demonstrating Its devotion to the
Democratic cause by Withdrawing n pub
LEGATION which might disturb tho unity now
prevailing in them. But Inconsistency
when IL involves tho abandonment of the
wrong and the pursuit Of the right. is a
virtue. Stubborn perseverance In an evil
and mischievous course merely for the snke
Of the appearance OF consistency Is as fool
ish as it is discrcditable.
The ErcninO Post has simply changed Its
mind since 1890. and it has had very good
reason to do SO. In the two past years 1t has
learned much. 1t has seen that Tamnlany
Hall has given New York the best munici-
pal government the town has ever had.
Actual experience has proved that the
charges OF its pamphlet were false
hoods by which it had been de-
ccived. Like an honest and honor
uble newspaper, therefore. 1t refuses
to circulate them further. 1t frankly with
draws them and acknowledges their false
ness by frankly and ably supporting the
same Tammnny, the same leaders. and the
same methods in 1899.
All honor to tho Evening Post! All praise
for Mr.. GoDKIN! As they withdraw their
Ole expressions concerning the Democracy.
so also tho Democracy forgets the bitter
retaliatory enmity which tho now buried
charges excited.
So far as the Evening Post Is concerned.
the harmony and unity Of the Democratic
party are complete. No Force bill! No Ne
gro Domination!

Austria Absorbing American Gold.

rom nv q mrs.
The discount rate of the Aus:ro-tIung arian Bank be.
ing still four per cent. and that Of the Bank of England
two per cent. and the variations OF the gold premium
being stopped BY the publication OF the New Standard
act. 1t Is not surprising that foreign money Is begin.
ming to SEQ investment in Austria and Hungary. Thus
tho influx Of foreign capital during the past month is
estimated at forty million forms. one. half OF which
has been received by the Aus,ro.fi Hungarian Bank.
chiefly in American eagles from New York. The coin
and bullion Of tho Austro. hungarian Bank. which
amounted on May 81 to 2+5 million forms, and on
Aug. Is to 243 million norins, reached on sept. :. 2,,i )
million forms: while the circulation Of notes has
since Aug. 15, only increased by ten million forms.
Tho bank directors are sustaining this inflow Of gold
by allowing short loans upon securities without inter-
e. to firms of standing who undertake the import OF
American gold eagles. Such loans are covered by the
arrival of the announced gold shipments. new loans
being granted As soon as new shipments are advised.
1t Is calculated that. including the gold which Is on its
way hither, the bank viii! up to tho end of the week
be in possession OF %. 900 900 norins moro gold than 1t
had . month sgo. This inflow is progressing. although
the rates OF exchange are not very favorable. and it
must therefore be attributed IN the first place TO the
working Of the American Silver act. by which the cir
culation Of legal currency IN the United states is being
saturated.
1t is not to he expected that gold viii! continue to
arrive to such an amount. SEEING that the rate Of foreign
exchange Is nnfAvorable. md that private bankers have
not pronted Ly recent gold imports. But as on the one
hand the larger banks have a certain ambition 10 con.
tribute to tho solution Of the standard reform by the
import OF gold. on the other hand. the higher rat Of
disc oun, in Austria is encouraging foreign investments

In consequence. Austrian and Hungarian stock. are
being more and more bought by foreign investors. and
the price NJ four per cent. Austrian gold rentc has
reached the height of 1l5 forms. and of the Hun.
garian. IT, norins.
The manager OF the Austro.Hungarian Bank has de.
clared that gold will not only be bought. but aso sold.

All Honor to the Evening Post.

During the recent absence abroad OF Mr..
E. L. GoDKIN. the editor of the Ercnino
Post. the Republican newspapers made a
great point Of the fact that that Journal
had suppressed" its pamphlet vilifyinr
Tammany Hall and its leaders. 1t Gems
that Republican rmissarics who had gone
to the Office OF the ErrninJ Post to buy
copies OF the pamphlet were informed that
1t" was withdrawn from the market"
Having now returned to New York. Mr.,
GoDKIN hastens to reply To these would-be
sarcastic critics with u frankncss which
does him credit. 1T is true" he says,
that this pamphlet is not now on sale in
the Office OF the Errain0 Post. We
withdrew it from circulation Immediately
after the election. which IL was in
tended to influence. but which apparently
1t did not influence" 1--WE withdrew it
when We found by the election OF Novem-
Der 1890, that the majority OF the voters on
che whole preferred for municipal officers
persons OF the type OF Mayor GRANT to
persons OF the type OF Mr.. Scorr."
In other words. the Ereuing Post accented
the election OF Mayor GRANT as II popular
verdict In condemnation OF its lying MS.
saults on Tammany Hall. Its infamous
method OF conducting a campaign against
that great Democratic organization re.
suited In a failure so complete that now the
Evening Post itself has become con.

opponents with the weapons of personal

OF vilifying Tammany Hall.

Tho Grand Army Has Reached its
Zenith.

The t~wenty-sixth National Encampment
OF the Grand Army OF the Republic has
been gathered In great glory to its prede-
cessors. Never in its annals has there been
o more stirring scene OF enthusiasm than
Washington furnished during tho past
week. To the usual guarantees of success
for these annual festivals there were added
this time the extra advantage Of the aid of
Congress and the participation and support
of the other branches OF the Government.
It was a gala week in Washington. The
railroads reckoned the visitors whom they
carried to the city by hundreds OF thou
sands, and no Inauguration Of n President
or other pageant ever took so many there.
To heighten the effect there was the dra-
matte contrast, in the march along Penn
~sylvania avenue. between 1892 and 1865.
when the graybcards were young.
But now that the tents are struck, and the
drums have ceased to beat. and the tattered
flags are put by. and the veterans a
zone their ways there Is n note OF melan-
choly in the review OF the fcstsl week such
rs perhaps never has been known before.
The most suggestive item in the annual
statistics was a little passage in the
report made by the Acknowledgement
Practically it may be said that the mem
bership Of the Grand Army is now at it's
highest point. 1t no doubt will remain at
about the above numbers for q few years to
some. when necessarily it must decrease.
and the decrease will be rapid"
II memory serves. this is the first time
that this fact has received mention In the
annual reports. Perhaps it is the first time
that 1t has needed mention. Up to the
present year the wonderful growth Of his
organization has gone on. defying the lapse
OF time and the dropping off OF the veter-
ans by death. 1t will always be a great
record in its history that not until Il quar-
tor Of a century after its foundation was its
turning point reached. and when the war
had already been ended twenty-seven years.
But during the twelve months last report
ell upon. there was a net loss in member
ship Of 1.7Os. and although this was ex-
planned by a previous improper addition of
certain names. the correction of which
would leave a real gain of about 1900. yet
there was a general look in the figures that
caused the official suggestion just quoted.
We may safely conclude. therefore. that
this remarkable organization has at last
about reached its maximum OF member
ship. The aggregate OF 4O7. ISL in good
standing is not likely hereafter to be sur
passed; and when. after this climax has
been sustained for a little time. the down
ward movement comes. the fall. as the Adj
jutant-General says. will be rapid.
The chances are. however. that the
pathos OF its decline may lay hold OF popu-
lar sympathy not less than the splendor Of
its rise. When the rapidly dwindling MEM
bership OF the veterans tells its story. when
the Grand Army as an organization is no
longer much OF n power in politics. either
to be courted or feared. the hearts OF the
people are likely to go out still more toward
1t. so that it can count on popular cnthu-
siasm at its annual reunions for many
years to come.
