IF the Democratic party means to elect a
President this year it must unload the bur
dens which have defeated it ever since ii
broke into two factions in 1860. 1t must,
first of all, unload the war against the Union.
Unless this is efectually done il will have
no earthly chance of success. 1t must un-
load all its political lame ducks, all the can
didates who have offended any large body OF
voters by extreme views in favor Of green
backs or in favor of bank currency on gold
basis, OF by extreme free-trade or high pro
lection doctrines. II must not shoulder the
odium which attache. to the great railway
corporations with their pooling arrangements
which tax the farmers to pay dividends on

racy wants man Of the people, who should

IP Republican is to occupy the Presidency
for another term, General Garfield is one of
the least Objectionable men in his party.
Though Republican, he is not a fanatic.
He is known to be opposed to a continuance
of sectionalism in politics. He cherishes no
hatred to the South and would treat that
section fairly, Above all, General Garfield

SENATOR BLAINE and Secretary Sherman
are entitled to the thanks of their party as
sociates, and also to the good will of all true
Americans for their wise action in consulting
together and devising means to defeat tht
imperialist faction which threatened to de-

institutions. 1t is to be hoped the Demo
cratic party will prove themselves capable
of equal abnegation and prudence.

The Field men are travelling on claims,
mostly unwarranted. They have an agent
at every State convention to send oil de-
spatch claiming Field victory in order to
create an impression of strength. That was
done in Oregon, in California, in Virginia,
in Arkansas and in Georgia. In not one OF
these States We're the facts as represented in
the dispatches sent out in the Field interest.

TnR most striking feature OF the Republican
platform is the impudenoe OF the introduc-
tion which claims credit not only for all that
men of all parties have done for the country,
but for all that Providence has done for us
during the past twenty years. Thus these
demagogues claim credit for their party not
only for the suppression of the rebellion, in
which as many Democrats as Republicans
fought, but for the growth of our railway
system and the increase Of our foreign trade.
There is only one step further, and in the
next platform we may expect this insolent
party to claim credit for the sunshine which
warns and the rain which relreshes oul
land.

A PARAGRAPH has gone the rounds OF the
press attributing to General Hancock certain
opinions respecting the doctrine OF States
rights and the Constitutional amendments
as connected with the Democratic nomina-
tion. Several newspapers, and the Rich

upon General Hancock. VIII the Common

state that no such interview was ever had,
