GENERAL PRESS REVIEW.
Let Us Hear From Garfield.
st. Louis Rpnuh,ican


The country has heard from General Han.
cock what he will do, in case of election,
with the southern claims submitted to his
presidential inspection. The country is
perfectly satisfied with the disposition he
proposes to make Of them, and now waits
anxiously 10 hear from Mr.. Garfield on the
same interesting and important subject.
When, in 1876. the Democracy obtained con-
troll Of the lower house of congress- it was
aScertained that the Republicans, in the ten
years which had elapsed since the war,
paid over $l00000,0O0 of southern claims
without exhausting the stock on hand To
the great disgust Of the milers, the Demo-
cratic majority stopped this mill, thereby
shutting out several hundred millions more
Of these claims, which would otherwise have
been put through. As Mr.. Garfield was one
OF the millers whose operations were thus
summarily checked, there is abundant rea.
son to fear that, if elected, he will permit
the mill to start again. 1t is therefore emf.
nently proper for him to officially declare,
in straightforward Hancock fashion, what
no will and will not do, il elected, about
southern claims. His opponent has promptly
and emphatichllY responded TO the public
demand for an expression Of his views on
this point, and the Republican candidate
should not DO backward in coming forward
10 initiate so excellent an example, Let us
hear from Garfield.

The Pennsylvania Situation.


When we take into consideration the facts
that seven clubs, composed entirely of
negroes, waited on General Butler ut
Pittsburg and assured him that they intended
to vote for Hancock and English; that thore
were four thousand Aeppers in the line of
march In the procession that attended the
meeting at which General Butler and Colonel
Forney spoke that evening; that
more than thirty.fye thousand per.
sons Joined in a Democratic process.
sion and demonstration in Philadel-
phia; that General Hancock has tho written
assurances Of five thousand ex-Federal sol.
dicrs in Pennsylvania, who have formerly
voted tho Republican, ticket, that they will
vote for him, we can understand why the
Republican managers should show such eyi.
dent signs Of fear in regard to the vote of
Pennsylvania in November. Tho conditions
that have usually obtained in that state are
changed. The Republican power is broken.
The protection that ballot-box suffers and
the nanipulators of fraudulent election
returns have been accustomed to receive will
not DO extended 10 them in this election.
The Cameron power is quiescent or fears TO
show ITSELF Republican mutneers run riot
all over the state. There is difference be.
tween being prosecuted for violence of
election laws and being rewarded for violal-
ing them. That difference will be all in
favor OF the Democracy. 1t is not mild
calculation to say that the Democratic nation
al ticket will have a majority in Pennsylya-
mia OF forty thousand.

Is Indiana n Pivot?
Chicago Inter-Occan.

There ia disposition to lock upon Indiana
as the pivot on which the presidential cleo.
ton turns, the point where tho great strug.
gle concentrates and will DO decided. This
idea is, to y certain degree, erroneous, and
should DO discarded. OF course Republi-
can victory in a Democratic state of this
character is mighty step toward national
triumph, but Republicans should not be edu-
Gated to tho belief that they will not have
anything to do after it but lay back on their
oars and sec the presidency win itself. On
the other hand, should the state 60 Demo-
cratic, there will be so much the more neces
sity for rallyinS to tho fight in November. A
race is not over till it is won. A fight is
not ended till there is victor in the field.
Indiana is certainly most important
held, and the Democracy realize that should
they lose it, their hope is substantially over.
Ii they cannot carry Indiana, they can Ger
tainly have no hope of carrying New York.
They must have forty.sevcn votes besides the
solid south or they are defeated. Even with
Indiana this task will be hard one; without
1t they have no chance if Republicans will do
their duty. The Inter Ocean does not under.
estimate the importance OF Indiana, but il
should not be forgotten that il is Demo.
cratic state, and that we are fighting there
not to keep what we have, but to win some
thing from the enemy, A failure, therefore.
does not mean what such defeat means 20
the Democratic party. The latter realize tn.
desperate nature of the fight and what fail
ure there signifies to them, and are pouring
money into the canvass more layishly than
ever known before. 1t is well understood
that one prominent politician alone has col
lected 100000 for this purpose.
