HANCoCK-S DILEMMA.

1t will not suffice for General Han
cock s friends TO treat the charge that
he intended to pronounce for Tilden
in 1877, as an Invention of his political
opponents for campaign purposes.
There is Il great effort to do this now,
and some of the sO-called s'lndepend-
ent" papers are compiilnenting him
upon his ''most excellent discretion in
declining to notice or refute such ma
lignant falsehoods."
These people forget the one sover-
eign fact in the matter, which is that
it was first made public by Gen. Han
cocks own friends, and played by
them as trump to secure his nominal
ton. At the time that Mr.. Atkins and
Gen. ''Baldv" Smith stated that Gen.
Hancock had definitely promised to
recognize only Mr.. Tilden as the legal
President of the United States after
midnight of March 8. 1877, they sup
posed they were stating something
that would commend him to the peo-
pie of the country. Their moral OBJ
tuseness-which is evidently charac-
teristic of them and their class of
which Gen. Hancock is the head-lead
them to think that such contemplated
violence to every precept and tradition
of American politics would be regard
ed with as much favor by the people
at large as it had been by the infuen-
tial Democrats of the Cincinnati Con-
ventiOn. Their establishment at find
ing that proposal to inaugurate Mexl-
caniZation by one of our high military
commanders viewed with general hor-
ror, is a ludIcrOus exhibition of their
lamentable confusion of ideas in re-
gard to right and wrong.
Gen. Hancock is not asked to con-
tradict what Republican papers have
said on the subject. He is asked, how
ever, and in stentorian tones, to deny,
admit OF explain what has been claim
ed for him by one who is regarded as
one of his nearest friends, --Gen.
"Baldy'' Smith. 1t is beyond dispute
that Gen. Smith stated to the Demo-
cratic managers at Cincinnati that
Gen. Hancock had agreed to "pro-
nounce'' for Tilden; it is asserted with
equal positiveness by man high in
the Democratic Sanhedrim that that
statement had much weight in deter
mining the choice of the candidate.
1t is these allegations of his best
and nearest friends that Gen. Hancock
is called upon to meet, and he is re-
duced to the unpleasant alternative of
admitting his contemplated treason or
of denouncing Messrs. Smith and At
kins as liars. We wish him joy of
either horn of the dilemma.

thinks he cannot live many days.
We learn that Mrs. Hyatt, of Hart

He says crops are good in the eastern

Our city is rather dull--harvest is
the main cause. Nearly all of the
able ones have skipped for the grang-
ers' cash--that article being scarce in
this vicinity.
What few Hancock men there are
here feel quite celtain that he will be
our next president. But wait until
the eve of election when you will find
that as far as Hartland is concerned,
he wont be by at least one to three.

NEW YORK ELECTION FRAUDS.

ting illustration of the peculiar man.
ner in which the Democratic party
carries elections by fraud and indicates
what is meant by its platform demand

shows that there were at least $4,000
fraudulent votes cast in New York in
1858. By Il fair vote the Empire State
Is Republican and 1t is to be hoped that
while every legal voter may be permit
ted to cast one vote, and one only,
fraudulent voting may be prevented.

GEN. WEAVER, Greenback candidate
for the presidency, has just returned
from astumping tour through Alabama
and recites doleful tales about intimi-
dation and bull-dozing in the Southern
States. He states that upon the most
reliable testimony that the Republican
papers have not told half the truth
concerning the political condition of
that benighted region which is expect
ed to give Hancock 1873 presidential
votes. And now he is denounced by
the Democrats as being in collision
with the Republicans.
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1880-08-05

HANCOCK s Letter of Acceptance has
finally made its appearance and TO
say that it is the most puerile produc-
ton we have ever known to emanate
from Il presidential candidate, is GER
tainly putting it mild. We hardly
think that the Democracy will publish
it as campaign document.
A large portion of the letter rehash-
es the words or sentiments of the Con-
stitution, so adroitly put together that
both States Rights and National DEM
ocratS will be able to find in it large
crumb of comfort. On Civil Service
Reform, the General is ominously 81
lent. What he says on the Tariff
question may mean anything and ev-
erythlng-just IS one pleases. Ditto
on the Finance question. And just
exactly what he means by the follow
ing expression may not be very clear
to the average reader, and may need
some explanation on the part of Dem
OCfdIlC campaign orators
ut is vital principle in our system
that neither fraud nor force may be
allowed to subvert the rights of the
people When fraud, violence or in
competence controls, the nobleSt con-
stitution and the wisest laws are USE
less. The bayouet is not fit instru-
ment for controlling the votes of free
men. 1t is only by full vote, free
ballot and fair count that the people
can rule in fact as required by the the
DRY of our government
OF course the General had reference
here to the shot gun policy prevailing
in the South; for certainly he can
mean nothing else when he speaks of
fraud, violence, full vote, free ballot,
and the like. Just exactly how this is
going to take in such States as Miss
issippi, Alabama and Georgia, we are
triile curious to know: but then peo-
pie down there don't read much and
care little for whatever u presidential
candidate may say. They'll probably
60 right on excluding negroes from the
polls and rolling up the usual Demo-
cratic r1ajorities. On the whole the
document is just such one as might
be expected from man who has no
great principle to contend for. but who
is shrewd enough to know that "glit-
tering generalities' take better than
clear-cut specifications. But it seems
to US that even the generalities might
have been expressed in somewhat bet
ter English, for as a literary prodac-
ton the letter Is simply iiscreditable
both TO the writer and to the party he
represent. Republicans have nothing
to fear: they can afford to have the
caIfbre Of Garfield and Hancock tested
by their respective letters.

JUDGE r. p. RAUNEY, of Cleveland,
Ohio, an old school Democrat, has
written letter in which he leaves his
late associates and joins the Garfield
boom. He is utterly disguised with
the inconsistency of his old party in

say the Democrats desire any kind of
President they think they can elect
that they will concede any thing for
the hope of victory, but that they gen
