4 SYRUGGLING FOR THE MASTERY Progress of the Contest in the Local Political Arena. THE REPUBLICAN RATIFICATION MEETING. Nationalists and Greenbackers Denounc- ing the Combination Ticket. HE REPUSLICAN RATIFICATION MEETING— SPEECH OF EDWARDS PIERREPONT ON THE MONEY QUESTION, To the surprise of those who attended it the repub- Mean ratification meeting at Cooper lustitute last might was pot iarge, One-fourth of the seats in the big hall were unoccupied and there was, contrary to Sxpectation, no meeting oatside, Very little enthusiasm wis manifested, a fact which Was probably due to the absence ef fireworks, masic And all the other acceasories which generally enliven (nee gatnerings. The number of gentiomen who sas Upen the platiorm was small Thariow Weed was Boe Of these, and his cotrance was greeted with ap- Pplause, Mr. Clarence A, Seward acted as chairman ‘Of the meetiny, and a list of vice presidents was read, the names of Hamilton Fish, Whitelaw Reid, General Joho A. Dix, George Jones and Genera! Daniel E, Sickles being prominent among them. They were duly declared elected, and resolutions were then passed ratifying the Saratoga nominations, Mr Seward made a briet address upon the financial Question, He was in favor of having dollars werth L00ceptseach. The theery of flat money be never had been able to understand. Tne Almighty bad said, ‘Let there be light,” and there was light; but 1t had never antil now occurred that a people attempted to usurp the divine preroga- tive by saying, “Let there be money.” Mr, Seward referret to the worthlessn of the eid Continental paper money when i became @vident that it could not be redeemed, although it was put forth with the faith of Congress pledged to Fedecm it, it was held by many that tbe dissemina- tion of sound financial principles would serve the republican cause, therefore it was that the Hon. Ed- wards Pierrepont hed consented to speak to the Meeting on this sudject, and whom he bad the pleas- ure to introduce, As Mr. Pierrepont came iorward be was loudly apjtauded.

Quite early 1m the civilization it was found tnat men were eudo yery different faculues. Some bad skill in & ing Of metals, some in rude toolsand machinery, some eould make a boat and others could sati it, and Bome Undurstood the tillage of the soil.
