e Congressman Horr, of Michigan, in a re
cent speech at Bay City, made good point. H,
spoke of the Democratic claim that they helped
to put down the Rebellion, and admitted that
thousands of Democrats did go into the army
and were good soldiers. But he called their at
tention to one significant fact, which of itsel
condemned the bulk of the Democratic party
1t was, that every Democrat who went into the
army, or who took decided stand in favor o
the Union, was known as a war Democrat. Il
the Democratic party was loyal, why was it nee
essary to designate certain members of the party
rs war Demoerats' Who ever heard of a wal
Republican, 1t was sufficient that man wa,
called Republican, to know that he was a wal
Republican, or Union Republican.

In the general apprehension, the vote in Indiana
and Ohio will decide wheter there is any real and
important movement in the public mind against
tinued Republican supremacy. The Democratic
leaders confess that they look for such anti-Rc-
publican tide the Republican leaders fear it. Both
may be mistaken; for politician has ever been
ing in the If Indiana and Ohio should both
go Republican, the Democrats will receive what
most of them acknowledge would be blow fatal to
Democratic and Ohio Republican, the Democrats
would he encouraged, and their opponents slightly,
but not seriously cast down embarrassed. II In
diana and Ohio should both go Democratic. even by
maorities, this in the opinion of able RePub
lcan politicians would denote that kind of tidal
wave had set against them which would make the
November contest hopeless for them. Such II result
would it is admitted, influence the close States in
November, and would denote that the country was
inclined to try n change of administration.

z The business men of all the large cities
have been holding demonstrations in favor OF
Garfield. The Democrats of Cleveland, Ohio,
determined not to be outdone, got up a big Dem
ocratic business mems rally i'll that city. large
number Of business men, whom nobody knew,
paraded the streets in broadcloth suits and silk
hats. Late at night, most of them were found
asleep on door-steps, with their plug hats mash
ed down over their ears The Democrats had
dressed up tramps and loafers to represent busi-
ness men, and they had returned to their normal
condition.

II Bancroft, the historian, it is said, predicts
that Hancock will be elected. Bancroft has
been fifty years writing his history of the United
States, and has not completed it yet. Perhaps
in hundred years from now, man named
Hancock will be elected President, and Ban
crpft's nretliction will be fulfilled

CORRECT Your TIcKETs.-Ticket printing is
close at hand. Every printing office that will
print Republican tickets, should get the full and
proper names of all the candidates on the Elec-
toral and State ticket, to insure uniformity and
avoid errors. We have written the Executive
Committee of the State Central Committee, sug-
gesting that they have printed such ticket,
and send a copy to every printing Office and
County Committee in the State.

rS- Little things are often truer indicators than
great ones, especially when there are many lit

During the War, Yankee was the most hateful
term the Rebels could apply to Union man.
The other day, there was political muss in
Delaware The st. Joseph Gazette, in mention

SENATOR BLAINE on THE STUATIoS.-In his speech
at Philadelphia Saturday night. Senator Elaine

by the distribution at their expense of large mum.

nae, containing the calendar for the month OF
April representing that it came from the manufac-
lures ofNewark, n. j., aad contained their ideas
of what tariff should he. Hancock replied that
it met his views precisely and that if he were to
labor for months, he could not get up a tariff
schedule that would SO perfectly meet his idea
of a inst tariff.

As OF OLD.-Another of the infallible signs of
Democratic collapse is that the Southern Briga-
dier. are putting their old-time bullyism.
When Republicans first began to get them under.
Bully Brooks assaulted Sumner, Pryor challenged
Potter, Brooks challenged Burlingame, and so
on. Secretary Sherman recently made speech,
in which he spoke of Wade Hampton and the
Klu-Klux. Hampton took him to task for it, and
got belly full, when he intimated to Sherman
that he was ready to receive challenge from
him, and then he got another belly full. They
die hard. but they are diving none the less surely

II The chief hope of the Democracy that they
will elect Hancock, rests upon the wind furnish

rg The South has been impoverished by Re-
publican earpet-bag rule. So say the Democrats.
But they were not so badly impoverished but
that they could raise thousands upon thousands
of dollars to send to Ohio and Indiana, to help
carry those States for the Democrats Here is
another Republican outrage. BY refusing to
let the Democrats carry these two States, they
have caused the impoverished people of the
South to lose that money.

II Jeup, the editor of German paper in
Cincinnati, sold himself to the Democrats for
81 600, his assertion that lIe absolutely coHtro
1000 German votes in Cincinnati, and 5000
in Indiana. From the returns from those places,
it looks very much as if Jeup conldn't deliver

upon the pretenee that they carry so many

u We had call, the other day, from a
young man of this County, who has been voting

the whole Republican ticket, and continue to
vote the Republican ticket hereafter

II Benjamin Brownfield, aged l0l years, was
Democrat of Uniontown, Pennsylvania and he
had set his heart on living to vote for Hancock.
But the Democrats undertook to make capital

was, the old coon died on their hands, before he
could vote for Hancock

g 1t was said that Blaine had to retire from
the Indiana canvass, by order of his physicians,
on account of sore throat and it was said by
the Democratic press, that this was only an
cuse, but that in fact he was discouraged and
gave up because of the certainty of Democrat
ic victory. But he made a rousing speech in
Northern Indiana, the night before the election,
all the same, and has appointments at Chicago
and other places up to the Presidential election.

GRANT.-Gen. Grant has behaved himself so
we'll, and done such good work, since the Chica-
20 Convention, that it would not surprise a
bit if we were in favor of third term, in 1854.
The old man has certainly atoned for most of
the faults which the Republicans had him charged
with. He has way with him of making every
word tell. His words are few, and his language
simple, hut somehow, everything he says falls
like a sledge-hammer, or like a bOmb-shell and
makes tremendous havoc in the Democratic
