National Republican., 1880-06-30

JAM Els a. GARFlGLD,
OF Ohio.
FOR vICE-PREsIDENT,
CHESTER A. ARTHUR,
of New York.
HANCOCK will not be counted in.
THE solid south" cannot win against
united republican party this year.
GOVERNOR HENDRICKS has swallowed
HANCOCK, but there was lumpy feeling
in his throat
THE democrats in this city can make
more noise and do less voting than those of
any other place in the country.
ANOTHER democ ratio consistency is found !
in the presentation of what that party
claims to be a non-sectional candidate,
with solid south" at his back.
"THE principles of the democracy are
eternal" So cries the bourbon press. Yes
Just the same as they were twenty years
ago, and will be twenty years hence, if in
existence.
THE statement now made that General
GRANT has expressed the belief that HAN
COCK would be elected is based upon a wide
stretch of the imagination. Tie general
talks but very little, and never as an idiot
THE Newark IN. J.) advertiser in speak
ing of HANCOCK as "soldier-statesman,"
says: lie is a soldier by lineal rank and
Statesman by brevet, just as TILDES is or
"claims to be ebrevet-president of the United
Estates"
GENERAL HANCOCK's attorney is now
preparing the material for his letter of ac-
ceptancc, which, it is said, will be very
elaborate and it will not be the fault of
his counsel ifit is not quite statesman-lke
in character.
THE democratic organ is quite hilarious
over the significant fact that the democratic
clerks in the departments will refrain from
responding to the call of the republican
committees for campaign funds. IT is about
time they began to show their teeth, so
that they can be identified.
Is it not singular feature connected
with those with whom the public intrust
their lives on the water that rs soon as
collision or fire involving the loss of life
occurs every officer and subordinate con-
noctod Herewith become suddenly as
dumb rs so many oysters?
THE democrats are boasting in a general
way that there are republicans who will
vote for HANCOCK and ENGLISH. Perhaps
so. But if they will indicate one of that
kind two to one that he will prove to be q
republican who 1t has cost tho party more
butter than he is worth to cook him.
Is 1864 the democrats nominated Nc
CLELLAN, union soldier, TO save them,
but he couldn't. In 1s72 HoRACEGREELEY,
lifelong republican, was swallowed to
bring them around all right, but it was no
go. Now HANCOCK, another union soldier is
brought out TO pull them through, but lie
won't. History but repeats itself.
TIE democrats seem to think that they
have secured bonanza in the congratula-
tory letter Of our old friend MUILETT to
General HANCOCK. All right. 1t is very
gratifying to know that our esteemed friend
has found political anchorage for he has
been sadly uAoat ever since he parted his
cable at the treasury department. May he
be happy.

votes. In the south ho will get a large ma,
iority of the rebel vote which makes q
solid south" and in the north he will
here and there get union soldier vote cast
by democrats who had patriotism enough
TO fight the democratic party during the
war, but not sagacity enough TO keep out oI
it when the war was over.
THE democratic papers begin to take
water and offer feeble apologies for THEN
slang-whangng of GARFIELD. They
opened very broshly, but they will be as
tame rs sucking doves before November
The whole democratic hippodrome begins
TO taper already, and it will take n micro,
scope to find it when the people are called
to pass upon it at the ballot-box.
THOUGH there were 10000 kegs of beer
consumed during convention week at Gin.
cinnau the democracy were not happy
The brewers Of that city did not keep their
promise and run beer pipes into Convention
hall, so the delegates soon Adjourned sine
die If free beer had been furnished there
would have been 10 nomination yet made
THDEN didn't understand tie boys.
WHEE the Cincinnati convention declared
for tariff for revenue only it made a bid
for the popular vote Of Pennsylvania upon
the aci.action principle, The key.ston,
state believes in the protection Of American
industries, and will he satisfied with moth.
ing short OF that That plank settles the
fate Of Pennsylvania. 1t is as certainly q
republican state as it has been since 1860.
OS two things General GARFIELD may
well congratulate himself First, that the
New York Sun opposes and abuses him, aud
seGoud, lor the reason that his opponents
