NEW YORK LETTER.
SEw YonK. November ard.


II is safe TO estimate, that on Tuesday
next, a battle, not with weapons, but
with ballots, will result in a victory for
the people. The Empire state OF New
memories OF Hamilton, Joy, Seward and
Fish, will urge on the people OF the sta'e
regardless OF party afiiIiation TO main
tain the honor and manhood OF the first
state in the Union. Maynard must be
beaten. The New York Bar Association
which denounced the nomination, OF
such a man as Maynard, guilty OF one OF
the most serious crimes against the ballot
is working day and night, TO accomplish
the expected result. Carl Schurz the old
veteran German-Americau leader. and
close frieLd OF President Cleveland, has
denounced the nomination, and advoca-
ted the election OF Edward I Bartlett, be-
fore great audience OF Germans in
Cooper Union on Thursday night. Tam

peateTs, and false registered men, the

clever kangaroo which gave regular per-
formances, at one OF The dime museums,
boxing and wrestling with his trainer,
being the particular features. The rev

kangaroo, jnsi about paid sundry ex-
pensee, bnt the management was at wits
end, trying 10 cause some sensation
which would rtgult in an addition 10 the
alleged cOmpanys treasury. Surely the
tdea which Kas followed out successfully
by the instigaior. Was very ceceiying
and bowel one. The fact vas reported 10
the police that at certain stable on
Eighteenth street, a lion had escaped
from his cage and was making every el-

which were bArricaied. The news spread
that the lion. called Sultan Wallace, had
