This whole 'S0-Golnr noise reminds us ILL
voluntarily, OF Franz Stoore's parting prayer
before he hung himself: Lord, ways only a
small Siiner."
The Louisville Volksblatt writes: 1.-THE Demo-
Gratis seem to be determined to pull tho military
cloak from the shoulders Of Gcn. Hancock, and
drGpe him with the mantle Of a statesman, be-
cause Us military commander at New Orleans,
he declared TINT the military must be subor-
dinatc to the civil authority. This very
opinion, at the very time when it was ex-
pressed by Gen. Hancock, proves that he
Is not statesman. Gen. Sherman was n
statesman Of the same sort when he received
tho surrender Of Gen; johnson, which was dis
approved By President Lincoln. Hancock
proved his statesmanshtp again In 1865, when he
WIS a candidate before the Democratic Conven-
tion and received l4l1s votes Mt the fifteenth
ballot. One Of the plnnlSs Of that Democratic
platform OF 1868 says: THAT VIC regard the
Reconstruction acts, so called, Of Congress US
usurI2tions and unconstitutional, revolution
Rry, and void Upon that platform tho status
1nan Hancock was baloted for, md he has not
said u word since to make the people believe
TINT he hus changed his position. 1t he had been
nominated and elected upon that platform ut
nn explanation of his craftsmanship"
Tho Ddrcnportcr Dcnloirut lind. ltcp.}, on this
subject of Hnncock's craftsmanship, says:
"t}erman Democratic newspapers arc cxuber-
ant in their praise OF Hancock's craftsmanship.
He Is puffcd by them rs the g-T-r-r-r-fetit West
Point statesman. Tho most, or at least the
most prominent, Of the American Democratic
papers are more sensible and careful in this
respect. md do not claim to have discovered
this qualification in Hnncock's past life. But
where has the General demonstrated that he is
q statesman? Let us hear! While quariercd ut
New Orleans as Department Commander he
issued an order that now, after the War was
over, military authority should bo subor-
dinato to civil authority. That Is the
{Iancock is accused OF, and upjn which

str..ctto9 policy OF Andy Johnson Nj. johnson ,st
this policy IN such an illegal and disgusting
manner that he was impeached by tho United
States Senate for high crimes and n,IsacIncan-
ors in Office, and would have been found guilty

one vote. thot Of Senat&r Trumhull, from lltf-

The Cincinnati V0lAsbldtt writes: ''It is true
that Senator Cameron refuses to accept the
Craftsmanship Of tho Republican National Conn
mittce. We must accept this refusal as his de-.
Termination not to pay much attention to the
present campaign. His action deserves to be
closely scrutinIzod hereafter, as already runlors
have found their way among the people that the
GRANTEES will retire into the pouting- and
refuse to act for Garfield during the campaign.
They hope that In case Of Gnrtic1ds drfeat the
nomination Of Grant must follow fn 1884,, us be
will be regarded rs tho only savior in distress.
We hardly can artnch any credcuce to these
ru1nors. Should, however, it be tho intention Of
Grant's friends to force n thir,1 term upon the
Candidate, their Grant would not alone be made
impossible for 1854, but for all time to come"
The lending German Democratic papers. IN
Guiding the less important ones. are preparing
for mud-slinging campaign. Dlr. Ottcniertfer,
or tho New York St1dts- Zcftung, is in Vienna,
and ia his absence the editor of thnt journal
gives tho following notice in q leading article:
y 1t will be the main duty of tho Democratic
press to acquatnt the people With the Qunlitlca-
tons Of the men who are nominated Us cnndi-
dates. We will, therefore, not hesitate to sprcud
before the Mutton those reasons which influence
us to support Hancock and to oppose Garfield.

and in retaliation to the above publishes tho
following leader headed Is The. Ilnotly Shirt:
j" After IIancocks nomination the Democratic
press triumphantly announced, Now, tho Re-
pubiicans cnnnot swing tho bloody shirt; Han-
cock was a Union soldier The bloody shirt is
their bad conscience that troubles them. and
thoy seem to feel very much relieved, indeed,
since they believe that the nomination Of Har-
cock will save them from another view Of Bdn-
q11o's cory locks. But, as usual. Democracy puts
its foot in it. They rcp,,b.;shcd Iancocls's
Order No.. 10 which he issued while |
in command Of Louisiana and Texas,
md In which he stated that tho military power
must bo subordinate to civil authority. This is
the very and only political act which, in the
eyes Of the Democrats. stamps Hancock great
statesman. But it ts the very net nlso which
proves to every one conyersant with the history
the dinnetrcal opposit,- e., that Hancock is
1ut statesman. Such declaration It's fuatlc by
Hancock is correct and fundamental in time
Interests and the safety Of the Nation when it
,EAs uttered by Statesman Hancock. 1t was the
uttcrlnce of this sentiment expressed In his
order which encouraged the Rebels in their Dp- |
