POLITICdL NOTES.

A SOLID south will defeat, not elect, Han.
cock.
TIE Hon. Montgomery Blair should como
out and take seat on tho democratic plat.
form. The ushors are provided with air cush.
ions.
GARFIELD is linguist, "but," says tho
Kingston Freeman, Hancock only speaks the
English language, though he wears his corset
In French. Pardon, nc swears in United
States.
INDIANA has about passed out of the list Of
doubtful states. Democrats are praying that
Landers may be struck by lightning, and
greenbackers are praying that ho may be
kicked to death by mule.
THE man who says that though he has
been lifelong republican, he will now vote
for Hancock" tells a-you're another. If he
ever were q republican or voted the republi.
can ticket, 1t was because he concluded for the
timo to get of the fence.
The New York Herald thinks that those in
fatuated democrats who are studying tho "bluo
book" to pick out the offices they shall claim
in the general deal after tho Inauguration Of
General Hancock will do we'll to discontinue
that pursuit for a few minutes to read tho
proceedings of the republican state convention
In Connecticut.
THE banner which is suspended over the
street at Vernon row is an enigma with many
who contemplate its representations. There
are two faces portrayed. One represents
Colonel E. p. Brooks United States consul to
Cork, more markedly than any one else, while
the other looks like q solicitor for subscrip.
tions to dime novel. The democratic party
seems to bo ON q general masquerade.
No man can remember time since 1850
when the democratic party was not insisting
that the south was being prosecuted by all in
the north who opposed its schemes of political
ambition. In this respect the party has not
changed. 1t has always been in favor of re.
concilistion by the submission of the north,
never in favor of reconciliation on the basis OF
fair and equitable understanding between
the two. And this is true whether tho south
was wanting to extend slavery, to break up tho
union, to deny freedmen their rights or to es-
tabiish the home-rule of the minority.

OLD CONNECTICUT.

A more gratifying prospect for the repub-
licans could not be presented than came
from the republican state convention of
Connecticut on Wednesday Inst. The
unity, harmony and patriotic zeal that per.
vaded that occasion gives full assurance
that when the vote of that state is counted
it will record victory for the republican
cause. Never has the party been more
united, never more determined, never more
hopeful than now. 1t will prosecute an in
vincible and triumphant campaign The
ticket has been selected with great care
and wise Judgment. All schisms are healed
All differences are placated, and all selfish
ness has been laid upon the altar of the
public welfare. The party takes up step tc
the music Of the band Of concord, and viii
move steadily and perseveringly on to GER
tain triumph. The country, the republican
party and the state of Connecticut are all Il
be congratulated upon the auspices of the
present condition of the republican cause il
that state, which is always right whel
danger menauces the nation. The fruits o.
the present canvass in that state will be a
republican governor, lieutenant-governor
legislature and United States senator Il
take the place of Senator EATON. Thus the
north is rapidly crystallizing into a solid
republican phalanx. There may be here
and there dark spot, but the event will b'
that it will be sufficiently "solid" to elect
GARFIELD and ARTHUR without the aid ol
an electoral commission.

ArRocrrIEs o THE DEMONSTRATION.

ATROCITIES or THE ADMINISTRATION.
Que wonderful discovery follows after
another to engage public atteation. DR..
TANNER has discovered to the world that
man can subsst forty days without ALI
ment of any kind. This is startling TO
boarding house keepers and comforting to
boarders. 1t upsets theories and sort of
confuses things. Now, the democratic organ
makes another discovery which is alarming
nothing more than this "The theory of
the present administration is like that Of
tits predecessor-tha il is the chief bust
" ness of al the departments to prevent u
" democratic victory"
Can anything he more shocking and
narrowing TO the democratic heart than
thisP We opine not. Only think of the
atrocity of n republican administrations re-
solving and providing against "a demo-
"cratic victory" which would involve the
surrender of the government into the hands
of democratic bummers and plunderers.
There has been nothing more cruel since the
"boys in blue" conspired together with
arms in their hands to prevent rebel vic
tory when LEE menaced the national capi-
tai. If il be an atrocity now TO prevent the
same class of men from taking possession
Of the government and subiugating it to o
power which sought its life only fifteen
years ago, then the departments are to be
| reprehended at this time. The same in
terests aud the same principles are involved
now that were at stake then. The coun-
try applauded the military branch of the
service then for having forced the rebels in
arms back from the departments of the
government, and why should it not ap-
plaud these departments now for exercising
the first law of existence, sell-preservation,
when these rebels without arms are reach
ing out through the ballot-box for their
captures The truth is, if these depart
ments had been safely and securely
guarded against this class, who are now
| skulking through their corridors rs em-
ployes and spies, the power of preventing
democratic victory" at this time would be
greatly enhanced.
1t is gratifying to know that the dis.
covery has been made that "the theory of
the present administration is to prevent a
democratic victory" and that those who
have been hoping to find the administration
supine and indifferent on this point are
awakening to the solemn fact that the depart
ments have resolved to aid in keeping them
from capture by the hungry hosts of the
rebellion who are now pressing forward TO
enter upon their possession. This may be
reprehensible, it may be atrocio us, but the
nation sympathizes with it nevertheless.

THE MUD MACHINE.

The democratic organ publishes n speech
delivered by General HANCOCK before the
court of inquiry that was called st Chicago
December 0, 1875, for the military trial oil
General BABcocR, then being investigated
by the grand jury at st, Louis for compile
ity with the whisky frauds, and which
court Of inquiry, it alleges, was "a scheme
to defeat the criminal prosecution and
"whitewash BABCoCK," aud which, it a35
sumes, thwarted that purpose, Thisspeech

THE dirt EEACTION.

1t is q somewhat remarkable circumstance
that those democratic editors who brought
their smut-machines to the front earliest
and were the most nasty and ferocious in
their assaults upon the republican ticket and
cause are the first to sound truce and
complain about tlinging epithets" and
all that sort of thing. The exponents
of this character of journalism begin to
learn the mistake they make in dragging
the mission of the press down into the
very dirt. The American people are
disguised with this democratic besmear-
ing process Of conducting campaign,
and they are showing their contempt
for it in way that those who have
resorted to it begin TO see how grave
mistake they have made. The more
enlightened and respectable portion Of
the American people are awakening to
sense of duty in this campaign, aud
will lend their influence to lift the contest
outOf the slums and stews where the sun
terrified" get their inspiration aud formu-
late their methods, Up 10 this time
the cause Of HANCOCK has suffered much
from the folly of vulgar and indiscreet
friends - more indeed than from any
other cause save that Of letting himself
down to the leadership of reasonable
and rebellious party with his oath of posi-
tion and proud military record as a union
general during the war staring him in the
face. That bare fact erects an insuperable
barrier between him aud the presidency.
This palpable inconsistency insures his Ger
tain defeat. That seals his fate as politi-
clan

THE census in South Carolina adds an
other to the list of frauds. An increase of
247,sOl is claimed since 1870, or thirty-fve
per cent, 1t is worthy Of remark that the
fraud is greatest in the most retired agricul-
tural counties, the cities standing almost
still. Just thereverse is shown in the north
ern states. Our purely agricultural dis
tricts of the older states are stationary,
while the cities gain largely. In South Car
Dlina the only two considerable cities show
only the most triiling gain-not exceeding
two per cent, while the county of Kershaw
untouched by railroad, with no mine or
factory, orothersign ormeans ofgrOwth
apparently made an increase of ninety per
cent. Marlboro, Lexington, Horny, Oconee and
York show phenomenal gains vary ing from
forty-hve to eighty per cent. Here is a
state confessedly without help from immi-
gration-in fact, its newspapers have for
years been deploring the departure of its
citizens to Texas and other southwestern
states-cntirely dependent upon agriculture
and yet its increase casts in the shade
such stutes as New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Illinois. Wisconsin and Michigan. 1t
is only necessary to give the figures to prove
the fraud.
