start, for they are vanishing like vapol

Garfield could to-day obtain certificates
from the ablest men and the most impair
tial men of the nation. affirming their
faith in his truthfulness when he denies
that he ever owned y share of Credit
Mobilier stock. The Judgment of men
whose Judgment is of most worth is with
the Republican candidate, and he is seen
to have "a character on which no asper-
sion can fastcn." The beginning Of the
campaign has been given by Democrats
to abuse; henceforth they must abandon
calumny rs weapon which cannot pierce
the Garfield shield. The personal char
acters Of the rival candidates are to stand
forth unimpeachable, and the decision OF
the contest is to turn on the qualification
of the men for the high Office for which
they are nominated. Gen. Hancock was
a brave soldier, but so was Gen. Garfield.
Gen. Garfield is statesman, but Gen.
Hancock is not. The Chief Executive of
the nation must be not only pure man,
but also statesman.

ENGLISH AN UNPOPULAR MAN.

The inside history of the nomination of
English for Nice-President reveals an acri-
monious strife between Democrats which
has inflicted upon Indiana the most IN
popular man in the State" The cloven
hoof of Tilden appears in the struggle.
and in thrusting swords at each other,
Tilden and Hendricks have fatally stabbed
Gen. Hancock. Had Hendricks consent
ed to take his old place on the Presiden-
tial ticket, the nomination of Tildcn is
said to have been 4 certainty. Angered
by his refusal. Tilden determined to have
revenge, and instructed Henry Waiter
son to bring forward William Z. English.
When Hendricks friends found their
favorite could not win. they telegraphed
for permission to support Senator Melon
aid, an able statesman, who is as much
liked as English is hated in his State.
But Hendricks ignored the message, un-
willing to see another Hoosier win what
he himself could not obtain, and the re-
suit was the choice of English, man
who is not only the object of general dis
like, but who is exceedingly dstasteful
to Hendricks men, who object to the dish
of crow which Tilden has thrust upon
them. The unpopularity of English and
the revolt against the vengeful scheme
of Tilden are fatal to the Democratic
ticket in Indiana next November.
The disaster to Hancock from the at
tempt of T'ilden to force a diet of crow
upon Hendricks will extend far beyond
the loss of the fifteen electoral votes of
Indiana. The rejection of the constitu-
tional amendments by the Supreme Court
puts Indiana back as an October State.
and the Encouragement of the Democrats
will prevent the sweeping victory of the
State ticket with which Hendricks had
hoped to rouse the nation to his support
a month in advance of the Federal cleo
ton. When Ohio sounds the note of vic
tory in October, and Indiana echoes with
a Democratic defeat the effect upon the
iiihcoch anu IliS llsII LlckcI III uOuDLlui
States will be disastrous.
The unpopularity of English is ndi-
Gated by statements Of ex-United States
Treasurer New, who was for fifteen years
the business associate ofthe Democratic
candidate for Nice-P President. lie pro-
nounces English the stingiest man he
ever knew, and intimates it will be I'M
like him not to make more ont of the
than he gives for its prosecu-
ton. The indianapolis millionaire who
gave only 500 to sufferers from the great
Chicago fire is universally detested for
his stinginess, while copperheads of his !
State remember that he voted for Gov.
Morton in support of the war, and Green
hackers recall that ho is ono of the hard |
est of hard-money men. His nomination |
is too great weight for his party to |
carry.
The fact that Tilden forced him upon
i'll revenge suggests the theory .
Of some that the same spirit of revenge is
to be secretly exerted in other States for
,he defeat of Gen. Hancock. AS Hen

PRACTICING DECEPTION.

The nomination of Gen. Hancock is a
distinct indication that deception is the
eXpedient the Democrats have chosen to
gain the power which for twenty years
has been denied them. Gen. Hancock is
no representative Democrat. lie has not
been chosen because he represents the
character and purposes of the party In
the very things which have given him a
national reputation he is as unlike the
Democratic party as light is unlike dark
ness. He fought for the Union, and the
controlling power of his party was used
for its destruction. Now. although it
may be admitted that only here and there
Democrat regrets that the Union was
saved, and secretly cherishcs hope of
it's dissolution, it is nevertheless true that
the controlling elements of the Demo-
cratic party are dangerous. 1t no longer
is, and never again can be-thanks to
such brave soldiers and wise statemen as
Gen. Garfield-the party of disunion;
but the advocates of disunion twenty
years ago are the advocates of other dan
gerous measures now, and the record and
character of the Democratic party are
not sucl. as to inspire public confidence
The party has not dared to make NOM
nation that would fairly represent its
character. 1t confesses nothing; it sim
ply attempts to escape Identification as
the Democratic party whose record has
been SO uniformly discreditable, and
seeks to hide behind Hancock.
That Gen. Hancock is not large enough
to afford the shelter his party seeks, it is
needless tG say. His record as soldier
is spotless, but the most ignorant man
who expects to handle ballot on the
End of next November can not be kept
from recognizing behind his back the
party which is trying to push him to
power. The party which sinks behind
Gen. Hancock S back now, fought against
him in the war, and is dangerous party
still, in spite of the fact that secession
has died death from which there is no
resurrection. Besides his war record,
Gen. Hancock has nothing to commend
him to the people, sid every one should
know that the party would III z ter him,

is THE BAR'L" ON TAP?

Democrats have caught, with remarka-
BILE avidity, at the declaration of Uncle
Sammy that Gen. Hancock was his choice
at Cincinnati. Having learned by long
observation of his career as Il manipula-
tor of a campaign, as ''ransomcr' of
Electoral votes, as u devotee of cipher
dispatches, and as Il railway wrecker,
that Mr.. Tilden is no dcceivcr, but a
perfectly trustworthy man, they accept
with implicit faith his assertion that he
made strenuous efforts to evadc Il nomi-
nation, and devoted such prodi9ious ex-
ertions to secure the nomination of Gen.
Hancock that he is compelled to retire to
Greystone, there to restore his shattered
health by some months of absolute rest.
Now, knowing that hundreds of thousand
of dollars flowed from his "bar'l" in the
campaign of 1876, they naturally infer
that, since he is so much more anxious to
see Gen. Hancock President than he ever
was to be President himself, it will be no
difficult matter to extract hundred
thousand more to elect the candidate of
1890. To many it seems heartless to ask
one they consider 4 deserted, defeated,
and hopeless old man, to contribute $780,
600 to party which has hurled him into
obscurity. But the Democrats, knowing
the guileless spirit of their former mas
ter, and having no distrust of his SINGER
ity i'll declaring himself the man who
brought about the nomination of Ham
cock. believe that it will delight the old
man to help them pay the bills of their
campaign. The skeptical admit that
Uncle Sammy cannot refuse the 800,
900, since to do SO would betray his in
sincerity in declaring his wish to see Gen.
Hancock President rather than be Presi-
dent himself. But these unconfiding
mortals intimate that he will place two
"bar'ls' on tap this year: One at Gram
Grey Park. which will hold 500, 900 for
the election of Hancock; and one at
Greystone, which wich will contain much
more, to be secretly used by Nephew
Pelton to convince the world that Samuel
j. Tilden was the man to nominate, if
Democrats wish to carry the State of New
York. There never was more curiosity
than now to know about Uncle Sammy's
"bar'l.' Is he to have one, or two, on
tap this year? His party, knowing the
honesty and ightforwardness of the
man, scorn the wicked suspicious of his
enemies and say that his love for Ger.
Hancock is quite likely to constrain him
to open two :. barl's," since he is twice
rs anxious for Democratic success as he
was four years ago.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1880-07-10

bricks would not permit Senator Melon
aid to enjoy the honors he himself could
not reach, so, it is said, Tilden will be
the dog in the manger for Hancock, and
while professedly supporting the Demo-
cratic ticket, will crattily exert his inilu-
ence for its defeat. Whether or not his
purpose will be to SOW discussions in
other States as he has sown them in In
diana, the evil he has already done Gen.
Hancock is fatal, if only Republicans
heed his injunction to avoid the strifes
which have divided the enemies forces,
and zealously cooperate for the election
of their ticket.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1880-07-10

and not he the party, were he to be
chosen President. To elect him is to
hand the government over to party
whose record is bad. whose character is
bad; and, we repeat, Gen. Hancock is
not large enough man to hide the bad
ness of the party behind him. The Dem
ocratic party is like an ostrich. When
pursued and driven to hopeless fright,
that foolish bird plunges its head beneath
the sand; ignorant of the exposure of its
huge hulk of Il body. Gen. Hancock S
war record is just about large enough to
hide the coppery head of the Democratic
party, but the carcass of the ungainly
bird is exposed to the blows of an indig-
nant people. Voters, do not let the
splendor of Hancock's uniform dazzle
your eyes SO that you will fail to see the
ungainly carcass of the Democratic os-
trich ut his feet!

The Democratic Platform Translated into
Plain English.

From the Engleuood, " d., STANDARD.
hTrst-We stick yet to what principles
we have left to us, excepting that we
take back and bury out of sight all that
we have said heretofore against the mill
tary candidates without civil qualitica-
tons or experience. Such leaders we
now believe in.
Second-We believe also in Il variegat-
cd spotted tariff, including free whisky
without which the Democratic party
wousl cease to be. That is what pe
mean by a tariff for revenue.
1hird-We heartily recommend three
kinds of barrels:
FIrst-Barrels of money constantly on
tap at the North;
!Second-Doube-b arreled shot guns for
Democratic colored game at the South:
and
Third-Barrels of whisky, tapped at
each end, for the use of Democratic vot-
ers at the Southwest and West.
We recommend the union of the three
in all doubtful States. and for the con-
version of minorites into a working ma
jority. All voters should be provided
also with double ballots, and all canvass
ing Democratic inspectors and returning
officers with that species of liquid enter
tainmcnt which will enable them to see
and count double.
F0nrh-We are in favor of hard or
soft money, according to the latitude OF
longitude of the polling places there
in abundance.
fVM-Wc are heartily in favor of
Democratic majorities however ob tained
AS Jefferson so well said, or ought to, if
he didn't Eternal maiorities are good
for the Democratic ideas of freedom
Sirh-Our old and tried servant, Til
den, who worked 50 hard and unscrupu-
lousy, we discharge with this rare Ger
titicnte of character. s. He Is a iirst-rate
cipherer. and will do more dirty work
without firing than any servant We ever
had, not excepting Buchanan, Pierce, or
Van Buren,. To pawn-brokers, broken
down insurance and railroad companies,
We heartily commend him. He wants
high pay, but he is worth it.

THE ELECTORAL VOTES.

1t is folly for Democrats to deny that
of the 1859 electoral votes Republicans
will surely win the following 1866, name
ly: California, 6; Colorado, 3; Illinois,
81; Iowa, II; Kansas, ); Maine, Z; Mas
sachusetts, ID; Michigan, II; Minnesota,
5; Nebraska, B; Nevada, 3; New Hamp-
shire, 5; Ohio, 90; Oregon, 3; Pennsyl-
vania, 90; Rhode Island, 4; Vermont, s.;
and Wisconsin, 10.
On the other hand. Republicans admit
that, with "Solid" South, the Demo-
Gratis will obtain the following 13S, name
ly: Alabama, 10; Arkansas, G; Delaware,
8; Florida, 4; Georgia, II; Kentucky,
IL; Louisiana, 8; Maryland, 8; NIissis-
sippi, Is; North Carolina, 10; Tennessee,
-; South Carolina, 7; Texas, s; Nir-
ginia, II; and West Virginia, ).
The remaining 65 votes are in the four
doubtful States-Connecticut, 6; New
York, 35; New Jersey, 8; Indiana, 10.
The Democrats must have Al of these
doubtful votes OF lose. We need but 49,,
and can win without New Jersey and
New York. New York OF nothing,
Democrats!
Now, with an October victory i'll In
diana almost assured, and with g the
most unpopular man in the Stat" as
the Democratic candidate for Nice-Presi-
dent, are not the 10 votes of Indiana
likely to be secured for Gen. Garfield?
And since Connecticut has discovered
it was duped by "Tilden and Reform y
into giving the Democratic ticket a ma
iority of 2, 300 in 1872, and therefore chose
Republican Governor in 1913 by ma
jority of 2, 4S2, is it not reasonable to sup
pose that Yale enthusiasm will give Gen.
Garfield the Nutmeg votes?
Republicans expect to carry New York,
but, unlike the Democrats, they can win
without it.

THERE are three elements which will
enter into this political canvass whose
combined influence will defeat Gen. Han
cock. The first is the returning prosper
ity OF the country, with the general sat
isfaction of the people with the condition
Of things. The secoud is is the deep
seated apprehension felt by the banking
and business interests of the country that
Democratic Congress, backed by well
meaning but pliable Presidential Han
cock should be elected-would play smash
with the finances of the country and
throw all our industries into confusion.
The third is IL conviction now entertain
ed, and which will become more firmly
fixed as the campaign progresses, that
the nomination of Hancock is not pa
riotie nomination, but device of North
u Bourbons and Southern Irreconcila-
to get into power and materially

HOW TO
GET almost
Everything.

Do you know how to get
in the easiest way and to best
advantage what you want for
dress and house-furnishing?
First, how: Write for a
catalogue; sec what you can
learn from it about the things
you want. samples can be
useful to you, ask for them
and state your wants SO
plainly that exactly the right
samples can be sent.
Second, where: The place
where goods are kept in the
greatest variety; where they
are sold for what they really
are in respect to quality;
where prices are lowest;
where most care is taken
to serve customers accept
ably; and where you have
the right to return whatever
is not satisfactory.
lhere-no matter where
you are-if you make your
wants known and avail your
self of your privileges, you
will get the best things in
the best way, promptly and
without trouble or risk;
sometimes by mail, some
times by express, almost
always at less cost for car
rage than the money you
save i'll the price.
