The State, Congressional and Leg- islative Tickets, RSTIMATED STRENGTH OF THE THIRD PARTY. ‘Partisan and Neutral Views on the Ultimate Results. ee e IxpiaNnapours, Oct, 4, 1878, “As Ohio and Indiana go, so goes Pennsylvania; as Pennsylvania goes, so goes the Union,’ used to bea generally truthiul political saying. Nor has it yet lost all its verity, for there ts no doubt that this year the vast floating discontented vote in Pennsyl- ‘Vania which will decide the November election Jo that Btate is watching and waiting for the October ei Slons out West belore determining which way to ve Next Tuesday’s election in Indiana will be important, ‘Ot only to the State but to the whole nation, since in Addition 1e the county aud State tickets to be voted for new members ot Congress are to be chosen from every aisirict anda Logisiatare is to be selected which ‘will bave the sppointment ef a new United States Benator, Moroover, tho election will, for certain rea- Bons, do moro to exbibit and establish the real Btrongth of the national or greonback party than any Brate election preceding or to follow it, TUB GREENBACK MOVEMENT. Tho greenback. movement had its origin im the Wost, particularly in Indiana. Four years ago it bee pan with the “zranger’’ excitement and contiuued for Jome time in that guise, It ts now rogarded hero by Astute mombers of both the old parties as a kiad of political measies which the Western States caught first, and the treatment of which bas been radically ‘wrong trom the time of the original symptoms, ‘The republiouns feel that they lost valuable time in Dot attacking it beroicully trom the start. Instead of doing so they fooled with it or were indifferent to it for two or three years until 1876, when they treated 4t os if it could be cured by cajolery. They Pandered to it by adopting a soft money platiorm, but, os might have been expected, without avail, That was the Presidential year, the year, too, when ‘Biue Jeans” Williams rao @gaiost Ben Harrison for tho Governorship and beat Bim, Harrison, a grandson of President Harrison, is universally conceded to be a man of great ability and ove of the very ablest jawyers in the West; yet Boither the strsogth of his repucation nor the con- Cesuions of republicans to the nationals, who polled fome fourteen thousand votes, sufficed to stay the triumph of the stalwart farmer in homespun whose term as Governor has two yoars more to run. The ‘lesson was not lost on the republican ‘party im Indiana, which, led by the Indianapolis Journal, a newspaper which had scouted the greenback heresy trom its birth, began from that time to gravitate toward a solid union in favor, of ‘honest monoy.”” Still this Boon was #20 iar from being cemented Bt the opening of the present campaign that many {imid republicans were upposea to an open rupture ‘with the national forces, For « time there wasa Drisk aemund for greonbvack-republican speakers to G0 ovt among the nationals and try to win them; but the demand gradually wore away. Latterly it has been replaced by a decided clamor for hard money orators, which encourages republican leaders to hope that, in spite of certain local coquetries with green- backism, the republican masses are generally in favor of a vigorous wariare against the whole inflauon movement, Upon such a crusade the most respousibie guides of the republican party proiess to have entered mt last, with tho intention of neither giving tavors to ‘4he nationals nor receiving any. ATTITUDE OF THX OLD PARTIR. The republican state platform this year is a hard ‘money platiorm, not so specific, bold und outspoken, perbups, as the republican platiorms of Massachusetts or Connecticut, but still fair testimony to faith in a Bound currency. If they cannot stund on it the Ia- @iona mombers of the party whom 1 have met say they are willing to fal Tney say that even if beaten they wili come out of the contest with an unbroken organization and flying colors; and, indeed, it appears that the organization of the republican party in the Btato has not been so complete and thorough as it is Bow since 1872, On the other band, the relations betweon the dem- Ocratic and national parties, which have hitherto Deon ratber friendly, continue to be such as it would be very incouvenient now to oresk. Many leading Gemovrats are at oue with lending repul -gretting that they did nos figut the yreeabuck craze Bt first instead of tampering with 1. ibey would jadiy, too, be rid at present of an association with it that hus grown peculiarly emvarrassinz, tor the Dutional success in Maine hus made the na Vonals of ludiana correspondingly assured aud Anuependent.

CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE PORTRAYED, ——E— Ee Emphatic Condemnation of the Slate System in Conventions. THE DUTIES OF A STATE COMMITTEE. a Unica, Oot. 5, 1878. In an interview with ex-Governor Seymour to-day he was asked nis views upon the action of the Syra- cuse Convention and readily responded to the inquiry. “1 look upon polities! conventionr,’? he gaia, “not merely as bodies which concern the particular parties which they represent, bat as they «feet the general wellare. They area part of the machinery of our government. Parties will always exist in our coun- try. They will shape its policy and iufluence its pros- perity, They can only act torough conventions, Their nomimations fill the offices, The puvlic, therefore, 18 concerned if they act in ways that lead them to put forward men with relerence to other things thao their fitness for the places for which they are presented. The general wellare is harmed if, at the conventions of cither of the great parties, the action ta disorderly, or ifany ends are sougnt which intertere with the calm and earnest purpose to present the names of the best men 1n their ranks to fill the placas tor which ele are to be hold, It 1s cause for regret with every*goud citizen when ne feels that political nom}- nations are made by either party in ways that cuuse distrust with regard to the persons they present for the support of the electors, EYYRCE OF ANGRY PEELING, “I think the press colored too highly the passion: displuyed at Syracuse. It is natural that the re. porters, in their abstracts of debate, should notice the character of speeches rather than the characters of the speakers, Henoo the harsh and noisy words of unwise men, or thoso ambitious of notoriety go out to the public, rather than what is said by those whose words have weight from their positions and tneir wisdom. sull itis clear that there was wuch of the angry feeling showa which always exists where parties try to get Advuntages over each otuer by strategy, rather than by fair reasons or by exercise of their strength in votes. Most of this teeing dies out. But still harsh at- tacks make many lasting feuds, and the fact that there ig discord disheartens those who wish to uphoid their party and their principles, It is fortunate that the bominee at Syracuse bears as character so bigh that the disorder atteading his selection in no way 1m- pairs tne confidence of the public in his iategrity er capacity.

BEPUBLICANS AND TAMMANYITES ON A STRAIGHT TICKET—Tak MAYORALTY CAN- VASS—SPECULATIONS aS TO THE DEMO- CRATIC STATE COMMITTEE—PROPOSED THIRD TICKET, The politicians who congregated around the Fifth Avenue Hotel last night were apparently very much divided in opinion as to what would be the resuls of Pending negotiations ag to a straight republican or combination tivket on the Mayoralty and other officer. The beadquarters of the State Republican Commitiee are located there, which uttracts a crowd of local Statesmen to the barroom and corridors every even- ing. The assemblage of bankers aod merchants on Saturday night, where Ove names were selecied out of which to recommend a candidate tor Mayor, was Jooked upon as an importaut movement, The absence of Mr, Samuel Conover’s name in thin choice list of five occasioned considerablo remark, and it was looked upon by some as ominous in connection with that gen- Uemun’s chances for the Tammany nomination. in discussing this list the provably suscesstal candi- dates were narrowed dowu to two—William R, Grace and John Whoeler, Ihe reasons given for droppiug the others were as follows:—Samuel D. Babcock was rather imclimed to the Tilden interest; Charies M. Fry, i} was understood, had yesterday positively declined to be a candidate, aud Auguatus Schell was deemed an imoligivle candidate at this particular time. It was also urged by others tnat Jobo Wuecicr was perioctiy content with his Position us President of the Tax Commission, This would leave the fleid fairly open for Wiliam R. Grae, A Tammanyite last evening, however, expressed con- fidence that Samuel Conover would prove the lucky or avlucky man, as the cage may be. Should a com- pact combination of anti-Tammanyites and republi- cuns be lormed many of tho knowing ones concede the succegs of their ticket, A good deal of tuterest is felt at the repubil- can heudquarters as to the Senatorial race in tue Sev- enth district, in cousiderution of the fact that ex- Collector ‘fom’?

Then a woman entered hurriedly, -yet so quietly that only those in the rear seais saw her terror, She was toilowed by a strongly built, coal atured man, whose tions wore so deliberate that no one guessed the ir s thoughts bebiod them, ASSAULTED aT PRAYER, The object of tis pursuit hastened aisle until ehe reached a pew in abo: the church, when she threw herse) and clasped her bands in the attitr vowed head had scarcely touche. it wus rudely pulled back again in the. impious ruian.
