SECRETARY MORRILL TALES PLAINLY TO KEW TORK BUSINESS-MEN. Special Dispasch to The Trivune. New YoRE, Nov. 4.—The Hon. Lot M. Mor- rill, Secretary of the Treasury, spoke in Wall street this afternoon to mot less than 5,000 bankers, brokers, and business-men generally. The scenc was such an_ one, said an old broker, ashad not been witnessed in Wall strect since the day Fort Sumter was fired upon. It was certainly an earnest and keen-witted assembly, which showed its appreciation of the many points made by frequent bursts of applause. ‘When the prolonged cheering that greeted him would permit, Mr. Morrill said: This looks to me very like business. I feel that I ought to congratulate the country that at length the business instincts of the people have ‘become conscious of the impending danger, and I hail it as a harbinger of that success which in the providence of God and in the right we shall iwitness next week. Sixteen years ago lost March, he continned, when the Republicans came into power, the.| |-Government-of the conrntry wasbroken asunder, and seven Statos Werc 1n Open rebelllon. The credit of the Government was below par, and in Europe this great nation had NEITHER NATIONALITY NOR CREDIT. ‘What did theysay of it to-day? All the Powers of Europe had greeted usonour Centennial anniversary, and sent their treasurers here to do us honor. Now, what next? Why was there sny doubt that we were not firm and strong in all respects? Eternal vigilance was the price of liberty, and it cost not lessto preserve that treasure than to acquire it. When our national independence was achieved our forefathers thought they had accomplished something, but to preserve this heritage had cost the country ELEVEN BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. In the last sixteen years this work bad costa greatdeal, but it was worth all it had cost. “The entire cost of the Government since 1789 had been a little less than fifteen billions,. and of this, s he had said, eleven billions had been expended in thelast sixteen years. This seemed extravagant, but by it the Union had been pre- served, and its jnstitutions made in harmony with the Declaration of Independence. If any one wanted to know how that money was spent,he had better go to the battle-fields of the South and dig up the bones of the patriotic dead. The Democrats said they had a Solid South. Well, they always had it. What did. this cry mean now? [A voice—* Another rebellion.”] It did mean incipient rebellion, and that the President of the United States had to send troops to the South to preserve order. The Solid South was THE TROJAN HORSE OF AMERICAN POLITICS; but he thanked God that {ts managers did not have the same chance they had ounce. The American people had learned something, and tie greater part were not Bourbons. Mr. Morrill then took up the question of the publiccredit. He said that as a result of the ‘War, a question of finance came up involving an enormous debt. When the War closed, this debt amounted to $2,800,000,000. There was also, as a result of the War, a disordered cur- rency, which was an evil to every class. Any- thing which tended to injure the credit of the Government was an iniury to the credit of every citizen. What was now to be done in re- gard to the payment of the debt and THE RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PATMENTS? What did the Demacrats say on these questions? The speaker then read the declarations of the Democratic platform on these subjects, quoting the words, *Reform Is necessary to restore the public credit.” Now, if what he had said was true, the public credit was already. restored. The question was how to maintain it. This platform also said that reform was' necessary to maintain the national honor. That was rich. This came from a party whosc administration when tbe Rebellion broke out said it was very sorry but it could do nothiog to prevent it. Mr. Morrill thenspoke of the great reductions of the national debt under Republican Admin- istrations, and said that year by year the public expense had been subjected to the most rigid scrutiny. They bad been redaced PROM $500,000,000 A YEAR TO $250,000,000 in the last fiscal year, in round nambers, includ- ing the payment of $100,000,000 ot the national debt. He referred to the reduction of direct taxes by the Republican., party, sod said that if those remaining upon whisky and to-, bacco bore too hard upon the members of the Democntic party they conld give up the use of the articles. Now, the national debt would not payiitselfl. What did the Democrats say in their platform sbout paying it? Not one word. What they thoughtabout it could be inferred from the record of the party. The Republican plat- form containeds pledge that.every dollar of that debt shouldbe paid fn cofn. = . 2 . Mr. Morrill, after dwelling upon the unsatis. ’| that Bennett bad bet $25,00¢ factory position of the Democratic party upon this point, said: The Republican party bas passed an act pledeing the resumption of specie payments in 1879 absolutely. What did the Democrats say abont that? They got that ques- tion up in the last Congress, and passed an act repealing that date. [A voice—* How are you going to resume?”] It is not a question of re- .| suming, but of maintaining resumption. We can resume at ‘any time, but we mezn to MAKE RESUMPTION PERMANENT. Everything inow in tavor of resumption. Bus~ iness is improving, the balance of trade, which has long been agaiust you, is with you, and my friend there will wake one fine morning in 1879 and tind specie payments long since beguon. The elements to accomplish this are in motion on our side,and the victory we are to register early in next week will enable us to accomplish our pledges. If any one votes on this assurance, aod it fails, I will try never to sec him. Every- thing favored the’ resumption ‘of specie pay- .| ments in 1879 if the Republican party remained in power. Some question had been raised in this city as to the compuarative credit of the Govern- ment in 1360 and at the present time. He would read from s very, sbie and specious speech, in which it was maintained that the Government in 1360 was able to place a loan of 5 per cent bonds at 6 and G34 per cent. Having read an extract from this speech (of Mr. Bel- mont’s), Mr. Morrill safd that 1T’ AUTHOR WAS MISTAEEN. The 'Government was able to place n small Joan of $20,000,000, but a large part of it could not have been put upon the market. In 1561 an effort was made to place a loan of $25,000,- 000. Ot this amount, 38,000,000 were disposed of at 93¢ per centum discount, but the remain- der was not 50 taken. The records shawed that bonds which were sold in 1861 at aboumt 89, were now quoted at 106 in gold. [Applause.] On one side in this election lay safety, and on the other pncertainty. It was said that Gov. Tilden was a hard-money man. , Well, that was good, but whether he would remain so might dependonwho elected him and what company he kept. Granting that Mr. Tilden was for hard money, what was tbonfiht of the other end of the ticket? Was that hard or soft? [Voices— “Soft.”] It wasverysoft. [Laughter.] Now if the strength of that ticket was in the tail and not 1n the head, the tail would wag the dog. The Morrill closed with a reference -to the Southern question, which was whether or not the freedman should be also a citizen. His re- marks were greeted at every point with laughter and applause, and the whole oceasion formed a special featnre of the campaign here. NEW YORK. 'WELLS' REPLY TO EVARTS. Special Dispatch o The Tribune. 5 ‘New YoRE, Nov. 4.—David Wells’ specch, re- vlying to Evarts, is truly characterized by the Herald asno reply. He did not attempt to meet or refute Evarts’ argnments, showing how essential to the restoration of national prosper- ity is the election of Hayes as the consistent exponent. of hard money, against Tilden and his party, whose platform and record throw the doors wide open to financial uncer- tainty, to the damage of the national credit, to the disturbance of the now steadily-progressing business revival stimulated by the approach to resumption, and to all the evils which must fol- low the success of the party dominated by the supporters of at least a partfal repudiation of the national obligations. Wells! argument was mainly for free trade, which is not an issue in this campaign. The Herald says: “It is as different from Evarts as a multiplication table is from a pa- triotic song.” BOGUS CALLS. Despite the persistent boasts of Tilden men, their confidence has evidently been shaken dur- ing the last week. Their desperation is shown by an avortive effort to get up a respectable call of business-men as a counter-movement to that inviting Evarts’ speech. The latter was signed by such a8 President Jones, of the Chemical Bank, and many others who, like him, sut- scribed liberally weeks ago to Demo- cratic funds, bat have since taken alarm from the evidences of commercial disas- ter likely be precipitated by Titden’s election. Among the 500 sizoers of the Democratic call there were scarcely any prominent business houses, though hundreds of Democratic houses - peremptoriiyretused el sigmatures.” Forty- pinc signatures are unknown to the city direc- tory; fliteen giving one address are porters, clerks, or boys in Claflin & Compauy’s store, which firm is notably Republfcan. THE SAME FPEAUDULENT BRAGGING appears-in the gambling rooms, where sham ools are now selling nightly, largely in favor of E‘flden, without, the least apparent reason for such change since a week ago. SPECDLATIONS. The Democratic National Committee’s address Issued by Chairman Hewitt, while boldly pre- dicting that Tilden will have 200 Elcctoral votes, exelu Oio, discreetly fafls to say What States will give them. Conpecticut advices unquestionably show a panic among Tilden’s managers after a carcful canvass, revealing apparently fatal losses to the Democratic majorities. - The only m?uhlimn apprenension for New York, Connecticut, and New Jerscy is from fear of widely distributed frauds in the rural dis- tricts, unsuspiciously small in single - localities, but massive in the aggregate. This it . is now kuown was the October system in Indiana. Clearly somebody is greatly deceived. All "the usual signs indicate a Republican triumph in New York State by 10,000 majority. The Republican Committec honestly expect this, while Tilden claims an equal certainty of suc- cess by much larger figures. Registration “throughout the State closed to-night. Returns indicate a heavy vote on Tuesday. THE LAST RXPUBLICAN GATHERING of the campaign in this city was that_addressed to-night by the Hou. Chauncey M. Depew, the leader of the Liberals in 1872, and the ablest and most influential of them all. No man who made a personal canvass of the State is more confident of a splendid victory next Tues- day than is Mr. Depew. Some of the grounds of this confidence, as given by himself, are the manifest evidence that an immense vote will be polled in the rural districts, and in_the present position of that party, whose chief he still is, an immense vote in the rural districtshasa guite different significance from the same thing here. IT MEANS INCREASED REPUBLICAN MAJORITIES in" forty-four counties and gains in fourteen more out of the fifty-nine counties which make up the State. What the position of the Liberals has to do in the case is r v seen when it s stated that they gave Tilden -over 10,000 votes in 1874. This fall, according to Mr. Depew, who ought certainly to know, not one inten of that number will make the mistake of voting for him sgain. Put this gain with the full Repub- lican vote, which {s as sure to be returned as Tuesday i5 to come, and the reason is plain why not only Mr. Depew, but every other lendlnE Republican, has no doubt as to which party will get the thirty-five electoral votes of New York. THE INDEPENDENT HERALD. An amusing, if not very important, feature of the week has been the dally changein the political tone of the Herald’s leaders. As ag’hg as Wednesday that independent sheet, wl has run largely toward Tilden, to make its usual shift to get on the winain side. To do this, however, it.was obliged to ai- low serious chances in favor of Hayes, and be- an to hedge on its- Democratic fimphedas, en it got so far as to advise Mr. Hayes what he ought to do when he should be ipangurated, the prominent Democrata at the Everett House bardly knew what to think, while the rumor on Hayes”election grew into belief. This is a journalistic' and is at lcast an offset to N THE BRAG-POOL GAME. which is nightly played for effect at Morrissey’s) though John himself is said to bave covered his Targer bets in a small way familiar to sporting men. It would seem that Tilden thinks the time for action has come. There is good authority for the report that he hasbeen pnylrfi his money all day out of the Nation: Bank. Nor have the amounts small. This State is to be fairly inundated with\ green- backs, which are deetned hard enough money to persuade the doubtful. A packaze of $25,000 Was sent to Milwaukee as a Reform argument of Do mean character. The Democratic cam- palen, which begau with documents, is to close with these long-looked-for barl’s,” put where they will do the most good. WASHINGTON. PRESIDENTIAL CONTINGENCIES. , Special Dispasch 1o The Tribune. ‘Wasgngrox, D. C., Nov. 4.—Another carl- ous and gnaccustomed _circumstance may pos-.| PRICE' FIVE' CENTS, sibly be connected with the inanguration of the next President of the United States. It happens that the 4th of March will be on Sundsy. The inauguration will, therefore, be doubtless Postponed until March 5. If it bo decided that President Grant's term of office expires on. AMarch 4 at noon, and that he does not hold officc until his successor i3 qualified, during the interregnum of one day, under the Constitution, the President. of the Senate would be the President of tha United States. There is mow, however, no Vice-President who can be ex-officio President of the Senate. If there was, under the samo construction, his term of office would expire on. Sunday, March 4. The_President pro tempors of the Senate, the Hon. -T. W. Ferry, of Michi- gan, holds that position, and in the natural or- der of things wonld be the President of the United States for a day under this constrnetion; but it happens that” the term' of office of Senator Ferry himself likewise cxpires on the 4tnof March. He cannot therefore be Presi- dent pro tempore of the Scnate during the da; when he is not a member of that body. Ferry should have been re-clected to the inwn (upon which subject Zach Chandler may havea word to_say), he could not have been sworn in to new term of offiicc befors Sunday, as he could not -be sworn for a new term before his old term expired. It will, consequently, be necessary for the Senste to clect » new FPresident pro “tempore for at least one day. The choice for President pro tempore, to preside until the regularly-clected Vice-President shall take bis placo as presiding officer, will,thercfore, necessarily be made from among the Senators whose terms do not expirs until after March 4, 1877. i, QUERT. It the election of President should be by any misfortune thrown into the House of Repre- sentatives, a qluestlou searcely less complit than that relative to the richt to reject the vote of any State for fraud, or the question as to the existence or otherwise of the twenty-second jomt rule, might be ralsed. If the election goes to the House, each State has but one single vote as a State. In the case of & division in a State, who is todetermine what the views of that State shallbe . Woulda majority of the Congressional delezation determine the vote { If both parties should beegually divided in- the Con‘(rwcasional representation’ of an State) would the vote of the State be rejectcv.i‘,‘ or, if counted, for whom, or, if rejected, who shall determine upon the rejection . GONE IOME TO VOTE. Spectal 0 The Tridune. 'WASHINGTON, L. C., Nov.4.—Most of the persons in Government employ here who have votes in the several States have gone home to vote. It is cstimated that this includes two- fifths of the working force. A very large pro- portion of the Government employes have lost: their residence elsewhere from the fact that they voted here when the District was under a Terri- torial form of government. CONFIDENCE. A gentleman who arrived this evening direct from the Republican headquarters at New York says that the Republican National Committes there are very jubilanc. Returns which had been received up to last night from the Central Committees of every State indicated a cer- tainty of the success of Hayes and Wheeler. ‘Tilden has sent $100,000 into Indians within two weeks. : TILDEN'S OLD PAL.

Bpectal Dispatch o The Tribune. MILWAUKEE. Nov. 4.—As the decisive day of the great political contest approaches, the fn- terest and excitement In this State increase; and the fact that Wisconsin is claimed by some to be one of the doubtful States, intensifics the excitement. During the last four or five weeka. however, the number of prophets who venturs to assert the probability of the ten Electoral votes of Wisconsin being cast for TRden bas been growing beautifully less, and fs now limited to those Democratic enthusiasts who place Massachusetts, Illinois, and Michigan in the dounbtfol column, and grudgingly concede the vote of Vermont to-Hayes and Whesler. Viewing the fleld from a standpoint unpreju- diced by partisan enthusissm, and sllowing to the Democracy evefy reasonable advantegein the estimates, the conclusion seems inevitabie that Wisconsin will give to the Republican Electoral ticket on next Tuesday s majority of {rom ¥IVE TO SAVEX THOUSAND. ‘The canvass made by the County Commiiiees predicts a still larger majority, 2aat eyery Prest- dential election there isa shifting of a certain number of politicians of more or less personal influence from the party in power to the party seeking control of .the national patronage. Disappointed ambition, vagarles of temper, hoves of personal advantage,—all have. their. votaries. lnstances of prominent defections from these motives are citable among us. Be- sides this, the military enthusiasm which rolled up majorities for Gen. Grant greatly in excess of his party-following has waned as a politicat power. BSome Democratic advantage is also traceable to the demoralizing influence of busmness-depression, fed and fos- tered by demagogues who offer THE EMPIRIC PANACEA of a change of Administration to cure the hard ‘times, with the same unction of address and consistency of argument with which their repre- sentative recommended his brother’s Extract of Coffee as & potent means of suppressing the Rebellion, of which he and his 1lk were among the prime abettors. These cover all the rea- sons for anticipating Democratic eains in this State; and the most liberal allowance for their influence upon the popular vote fails to annihi- late the majority ot 17,788 given- for President Grant in 1873 On the other side.we may n!clytfloguomm relative Republican gains from following , sources: 1.
