Il il significant that General Garfield

erai Hancock for the execution OF Mrs.

sral Garfield receiving a higher number
Of votes than General Hancock and all
other candidates. The fact indicates
that General Garfield will receive tbous.
ands Of votes throughout the country
which have heretofore been given to the
Democratic candidates. Retribution
seems likely to fall upon the Democratic
party for its denunciation Of General
Hancock and others who took part In
the execution OF Mrs. Surratt. As the
Evening Aaii has already said, were ex.
tracts from the Democratic press con.
cerning Mrs. Surratt's execution.
together with the statements OF that
unfortunate womsn's surviving daugh-
ter. placed in the hands Of all Roman
Catholic voters. their refusal to vote for
General Hancock would make his cleo.
ton impossible. But the appearance Of
Mrs. Surratt's ghost at the Port Huron
fair indicates that Roman Catholics do
not need o reminder OF Democratic
calumnies OF General Hancock. Their
prejudice was driven too deep to fail
during this generation. Let not our
esteemed contemporaries, the New York
Herald and the Philadelphia Times. mis-
understand US. and charge that a Repub'
lican journal is assaiIing General Han
cock for the execution Of Mrs. Surratt.
The Evening Nail never has done that,
and never will do it. It simply points
moral from the career Of the Democratic
party. The blows Democrats struck o.
