The experience of last year has en- tirely changed all this, Tho feeling among the people is now rather against than in favor of the support of the Tammany nominees. The only 1c of recovering the strength forfeited by the misconduct of the old democratic leaders lies in the entire freedom of the new organization from the practices of bygone years. It is necessary now for Tammany to prove the thoroughness of its purification, not only by making acceptable nominations, but by doing so in a manner calculated to afford evidence of the sincerity with which those candidates are offered to the people for their support. There can be fo half-way reform so far as the regular democtacy is concerned, for the taint of the old corruption is still upon its garments, and the prejudice against the very name it bears must be removed before success can be secured. No party can be wholly free from stain; there are good and bad men in all political organizations. But the evil element has been so long predominant in Tammany, the power of the old Ring is known to be still so great within the organization, the efforts of the old Ring to regain ascendancy either in person or through reliable representatives, are known to be so unceasing that the people must have very conclusive evidence that the good element really prevails before they will venture to reverse the verdict of last Novem- ber. Itis known that the names of Messrs. Schell, Tilden, Kelly, O’Conor, Belmont and others equally as trustworthy have been sub- stituted in places of high honor in the Wigwam for those as familiar to all a year or two | ago as they aro —— But this is mot enough, The honest Sa- chems must prove that they are not mere figureheads, without the power to control the bad men who still sit around the council fires. They must be chiefs in reality and not in seeming, and must give tangible proof to the people of New York of their ability to carry out that reform of which they | are the acknowledged representatives. If, while acting as the leaders of tho new Tam- many organization, they allow the secret | adherents of the old Ring, or a set of | scheming, trading political hacks, at least as corrupt | those who were recently driven from power, to override them and control the nominations ; and policy of the party, they will be doubly false to the trust they have undertaken; for they will be lending the influence of their own respectability as a cloak to the corrupt de- signs of their dishonest associates. Ta pressing upon regenerated Tammany the | voters as a body as a distinctive political | element in this campaign, is beginning to | bring forth its legitimate fruit. In Cincinnati | there are many negro residents, and the hostile feeling excited between them and the | democrats has evidently been intense. This | animosity, it appears, last night broke | out into a serious riot, in which pistols were freely used, and several persons were seriously if not fatally injured. It is impossible to | say at present how the lamentable affair commenced, or which party was most to blame for the collision. Our special despatch lays the responsibility upon the negroes, | but, however this may be, the moral | is the same. The affray shows the evil effect | of exciting a prejudice of race as an element | in a political campaign, and no one can resist the apprehension that if the policy | pursued by the Boutwell orators in the present election is to prevail in the future the riot we now chronicle will only be the precursor of yet more serious and fatal disturbances, Tar Fart Busryess Prospects in the city exhibit, through the Hzratp advertising col- amns to-day, a state of activity which must indeed be gratifying to the community, A | glance over the variety of interests represented | in fifty-two columns of advertisements will prove how steadily New York is progressing | iu ite legitimate career and placing itself among the greatest of the cities of the world, as it stands unrivalled at the head of those in America. Pammerivanu.—The election to-day in the | Keystone State may be regarded as the “Field of the Cloth of Gold,” so far as money ex- penditure on the part of administration ad- fherents is concerned. The democrats and liberals, wo hear, are not so liberal in the ex- | person knows that with the nomination of | | Tammany ond the endorsement of the reform- nomination of William Butler Duncan for Mayor we desired to apply a test to the organization. There had been a great deal of plotting and wire-pulling in regard to the Mayoralty, and we suggested to Messrs. Tilden, Schell, | Kelly and their associates a candidate whoso position was such as to command the respect | and confidence of our best citizens. We are | certain that Mr. Duncan would not accept the Tammany nomination, or any other, unless the reformers of the city would unite upon him as a candidate worthy of support. He is | too earnest and sincere a friend of | good government to consent to divide | the reform strength and thus risk the election of some objectionable nominee, | The position can be nothing to him except in | so far as he might use it to advance the pros- perity of the city and the interests of the peo- | ple. Every person knows that a true reform | party ought to be satisfied with Mr. Duncan and rejoiced at the opportunity of electing | such a citizen Mayor of the metropolis, Every | ers he would be elected by an enormous major- | ity if every political hack in the city should oppose and denounce him. But if the Committee of Seventy and the other reform | bodies choose to incur the responsibility of | refusing or withholding their endorsement from such a candidate, we should advise Mr. Duncan not to allow his name to be used for the position just as strenuously ag we have heretofore urged his acceptance. In that event the so-called reformers are bound to put leaders cared not a straw for civil suite, and but for the indictments litical hacks, selected on account of | found by Judge Bodford’s Grand Jury they lency to the behesta of an over- | would to-day be working boldly and openly, bearing cabal. For years the Tammany nomi- | as they aro actually working seoretly, in the Tammany organization. There is, then, but trigues and bargains, and the success of the | one sole reagon why Tammany can hesitate to leaders was secured by their ability in making | nominate Judge Bedford, and that is obe- combinations and by the unscrupulousness | dience to the demands of Tweed and with which they prosecuted their designs. j his associates in crime, who The rank and file were in the habit of voting | that he shall be thrown overboard. It is the regular ticket like machines, and while | rumored that certain of the present Tammany there might be occasionally some complain- | leaders, and at least one prominent city ing over the nominations, in the end the | official, are in league with Tweed in the plot democrats went to the polls impressed with | to revenge the Ring upon Judge Bedford, and insist that the consideration is to be the assistance of Tweed’s men in the Tammany county and judiciary Conventions to secure the nomination of a Mayor and District Attorney of the proper stripe. We warn the politicians engaged in this intrigue that certain defeat attends them. The people who rebuked the dishonest Ring last year will not suffer them to raise their heads from the dust this year, and the nomination of a Mayor and District Attorney through the influence of the Tweed agents in Tammany, in consideration of the defeat of the Judge who was instrumental in bringing the corrupt officials before a criminal bar, will not be suffered patiently by the citizens of New York. If Mr. Duncan concludes to decline the nomination for Mayor, other unassailable and acceptable candidates may be found; but any nomination whatsoever, made as a part of such a bargain as that by which Judge Bedford's rejection is sought to be ac- complished, would be repudiated by the peo- ple. We warn the plotters in Tammany that the organization is too weak to undertake this corrupt and infamous job, and that should it refuse to nominate the City Judge, to whose fidelity and firmness the people are indebted for the only criminal indictments . found against the dishonest officials and their accom- plices, it will share in the odium that now attaches to Tweed and his fellow conspirators, and will suffer an ignominious defeat at the polls in November. The Money Market—Legitimate Business and Speculation. If the vast amount of money used in this city for purely speculative purposes—for gambling, in fact, in stocks and gold—were applied to legitimate mercantile and other business, we should hear little of tightness in the market and see trade much more active. We have heard complaints that the removal of the cotton crop and other agricultural products to market has been retarded for the want of sufficient means being forwarded from this financial centre. This arises, as we have said, from money being used in speculative opera- tions, thus leaving a scarcity for regular busi- ness purposes. It will be said, doubtless, that it is reasonable to expect people will use their money in any way that promises the greatest profit to themselves individually, regardless of the public generally or other interests apart from their own. It is questionable, how- ever, whether our capitalists’ are not in the end sufferors more than gainers by de- and unscrupulous as | voting their capital to speculation rather than to promote the trade of the city and country. We refer particularly to the banks, or the capi- talists who are managers and directors in these institutions, who are tempted to use their money and to make loans to stock and gold jobbers with a view to obtaining large and im- mediate profits. This may be fair enough as far as the right of any man to use his capital as he may please goes, and there is certainly no law against it; but it is probable that those interested in the banking business, and, con- sequently, in the prosperity of the business community generally, lose in the long run by such a diversion of money from legitimate trade to unhealthy speculation. If the banks and bank officers would resolutely refuse to speculate themselves and to aid others we should hear much less of locking up money, cornering stocks and gold and of those fever- ish excitements in Wall street which stop trade and demoralize the community; and, no doubt, their profits in the end would be greater. This evil leads to another. Treasury Department is induced to step out of its proper sphere to relieve business men from tive excitements in Wall street. This is all wrong and contrary to the proper functions of the Treasury Department, though the relief temporarily afforded may be acceptable and an advantage to business for the time being. It is a power which the Secretary of the Treas- ury ought not to hold, for he may use it for political ends, may use it ignorantly and pro- duce disasters, or may keep the whole financial system of the country in an unsettled condi- tion. Ifthe government were empowered by law to regulate the financial transactions of the people and the money market, as the Bank of England is toa certain extent, and there were a systematized plan for that purpose, we might know on what ground we should stand. We do not say that this would be desirable. forward a candidate who will succeed, or they become answerable for the future government of the city, whoever may be elected, So far as Tammany is concerned there is good reason to suspect that the organization penditure of funds. Last year the State went republican by over fourteen thousand. is to be again given over to worse than the old corruption. There ese womistakable ovi- It is o question we do not propose to discuss now.

Our whole financial system needs to be placed on a sobid basis, ao that the vast interests of our merchants, traders and the community generally shall neither be at the mercy of cliques of speculators nor the caprices of the Treasury Department. This Day's State Elections—The OCon- centration of the Presidential Issue. The Presidential issue is concentrated in this day's experimental State elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. The public servants directly concerned are State officers and legislative members ; but the real struggle is for the popular vote of each of aaid States as between the supporters of Grant and Greeley on the Presidential question. Accordingly, as heretofore, on many occasions, including these October local elections of 1864 and 1868, they may this day so distinctly fore- shadow the issue of the great national battle of November as to leave no doubt upon the sub- ject. On the other hand, there may be such gains to the opposition alliance from these pre- liminary State akirmishes as to make the gen- eral engagement of November the most doubt- ful, spirited, desperate and sharply contested ofall our political vicissitudes for many years. It cannot be questioned that this Presiden- tial campaign has been conducted by the party press on both sides with unexampled bitter- ness and acousations and recrimina- tions, that the party strikers for and against the administration have thus in many cases been inflamed until fully prepared for the most desperate extremities against their adversaries. From the charges and counter charges of the party journals against every candidate in the field—ocharges scattered broad cast over the land—and repeated from the stump, a stranger would infer that we have not an honest or capable man before the peo- ple for their suffrages. He would also con- clude from the evidence on both sides, touch- ing the preparations of our party managers, drummers and strikers, that this day's elec- tions, whatever their results, will be carried by spurious voters, false swearing, importations of bullies, bribery, perjury, repeating, intimi- dation, violence, ballot stuffing and fraudulent counting. These common charges of election- eering devices and corruptions have in this campaign been carried to an extent that is simply revolting, and we have no doubt that, from the actual facts of this day’s elections, it will be demonstrated that, though our noisy politicians may be reckless and unprincipled, the great body of the American people aro still honest in their convictions, honest in the matter of their own rights and the rights of others, and competent to maintain law and order. We hope, from the manifestations of pop- ular intelligence and popular justice in this day’s elections, that among their immediate effects we shall have an abatement of the personal scandals and calumnies of the party press, and that through the interval tothe 5th of November the campaign on all sides will be conducted more as a contest between great bodies of intelligent and responsible men than as a scramble of rowdies and border ruffans for the spoils. In this anticipation weare glad that the crisis of these October elections is at hand; for surely, whether the fortunes of Grant or Greeley are improved from these elections, their general results must operate to bring our noisiest and most reckless politicians to reason, We await the results without apprehensions of any serious calamity to the country, and we expect to-morrow morning to lay before the readers of tho Hznatp the fullest returns at- tainable from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Nebraska and South Carolina, together with such explanations thereof and such commen- taries thereon as an independent observer in reference to all parties is free to give. Rain or shine, from Philadelphia to the Ilinois border, this day we shall have, perhaps, the decisive experiment between Grant and Gree- ley; but among the unconsidered contingen- cies which may materially affect the results are the weather probabilities. A rainy day is democratic weather; o tair day is essential to @ full republican vote. Inpuna.—The Hoosier State went demo- cratic in 1870—the last State election—by over two thousand five hundred majority. There | has beena strong effort made by the demo- crata with their liberal allies to maintain this supremacy if they do not increase the popular majority. It would be a matter of surprise if the State does not go anti-administration to-day.
