have saved much embarrassment.
He says: eff I were President
would veto all legislation which
might come before me providing for
the consideration Snd payment OF
claims of any kind of losses or DAM
age by persons who were in rebellion,
whether pardoned OF not" This is
conclusive, so far as he is concerned.
He does not sneak behind a forced
construction Of the 14th amendment,
but declares his personal purpose in
regard to legislation which the
amendment does not cover. The
assurance which he gives does credit
to his honesty and his independence,
and is one which every Intelligent
citizen, of whatever politics. will re-
joice to receive. The country can
now devote its attention to other
and graver issues between the two
parties, of which there il no lack,
and in which the position of Han
cock is completely identified with
that of his party.

Mr.. Burke's Prospects.

Never in the history of political
parties in this Territory has Il party
nomination been received with such
general enthusiasm as has that OF
Judge Burke. In fact, Judging from
the indications on all sides, if the
popular sentiment could be expressed
at the ballot-box free from party
trammals, the votes against Judge
Burke could only be counted rs
scattering; practically he would have
no competitor. This can only be
ascrihed to the undisputed fact that
Burke is one OF the strongest and
Brents one OF the weakest men in the
Territory to represent us at WASH
ington ut IL time when, more than
any other, we need there the best
ability at our command.
The first meeting of the campaign
was opened at Port Townsend, which
was addressed by Judge Burke and
some other Democratic speakers,
and by Judge Jacobs and {. IL.
Hanford, Esq, leading Republicans,
who bore testimony to the mgh
character and qualifications OF the
Democratic candidate, IN marked
contrast with the candidate of their
own party.
On Tuesday, Judge Burke and
Mr.. White addressed the largest and
most enthusiastic meeting ever held

At II regular meeting ofthe Olym-
pia Blue Ribbon Temperance
League, Sept. 18th, 1850, it was
unanimously voted to issue II call to
reorganize the Territorial Temper
ance Alliance of Washington Terri
tory.
Accordingly at the next regular
Monday evening meeting OF said
League, Sept. 10Th, 1850, the follow
ing cali was unanimously adopt cd:
Believing that the great temper
nnce movement now Ill progress
throughout the civilized world can
be mach accelerated III this Territory
by a union of al Temperance or
ganizations, in an alliance composed
of delegates OF representatives from
said organizations, and that the
prohibition by law of the importation,

holic beverages, the end and aim,
of all sincere friends of temperance
will be much sooner accomplished
by the concert of action to bt

at Port Blakely, and were assured
that the town, heretofore largely
Republican, was almost unanimous
for Burke.
On Wednesday, Judge Burke and
Mr.. White addressed the citizens OF
Renton in the afternoon and New
castle in the evening, at both places
the attendance was large and the
results satisfactory. At the meeting
at Newcastle, l.. B. Andrews, Esq. !,
one OF the oldest and most consistent
Republicans in the country, delivered
an eloquent speech in advocacy Of
the election of Judge Burke on the
grounds of public policy, which he
held paramount to all party consid-
erations. There are hundreds of
Republicans in this county, includ-
ing many of the best and most in
fluential men in the party, who open
ly declare their intention to support
Judge Burke on the same grounds.
His majority in this county is esti-
mated as high as 500 or 600 by care
full and intelligent judges. The re-
port from all the counties north of
us on the Sound are of like purport.
On Thursday, Messrs. Burke and
White addressed good audiences at
Mukelteo, Lowell and Snohomish
City; on Friday, at Skagit City.
Mount Vernon LaConner, where
they were joined by w. r. Andrews,
Esq, and on Saturday at Whatcom
and Ferndale; in all of which the
boom was as active as when it first
started. Burke will go from the
Sound with o booming majority.

J, w. rOrney's Letter TO the Ohio Ex-
ecutivs Committees. not Report ted by
the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, o., August 1Sth.--The
following letter was rece ived by the
Chairman and Secretary OF the Dem
ocratic State Executive Committee:
PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Aug II, 1880.
MY DEAR SIR:-I owe you an apol-
ogy for not sending an earGer reply
to yours of the 9th inviting me to
address the Democracy of Ohio dur
ing the campaign. but l wanted to
find time to come. That proves to
be impossible, amongst sea of en-.
gagements here. At the end OF
twenty years l find myself once more
in the line with the Democratic par
ty, and in resuming my post l am
in company with thousands who
have co-operated with the Republi-
cans since the commencement Of the
civil war. No Ohio Democrat who
believed in the example of Stephen
A. Douglas. or remembers the lesson
Of David Todd and John Brough,
would hesitate to rally to the stand
ard of Winfield Scott Hancock, OF
PENNSYLVANIA. There is nothing in
the present Republican party to at
tract the disciples of these great
men. All that inspires the leaders
of that party now is hatred of men
born in the Democ ratio church, and
a savage resolve to keep the South
forgiven by Lincoln, Sumner, Chase
and Greeley-still in humiliation.
The war Democrats, who made the
Republican party what it is, are not
bound to mission that means shame
to themselves and cruelty to eight
millions of their Southern fellow
cousins, and history has no page so
dishonoring as this new crusade OF
the modern Republican leaders upon
men far more worthy than they are.
General Hancock offers us IL broad
road out of such dilemma. He is
Democrat, soldier, statesmen,
and, above all, an honest man.
Yours truly,
JOHN W. FoENEY.

Oh, the old friends are the trueSt,
After all--atter all!
Though the face be not the newest,
After all-atter all!
When the fever heat is highest.
Or the chilling tide is highest,

Ofa friendship whose sweet teaching
Gives us Joy, and peace. and rest,
For the weary soul the best,
After all--aiter all.
What are all the stings of malice,
After all--atter all
There are joys deep in lite'S chalice,
After allaf'ter all.
Should the shadows then pursue us
And the sunbeams ne'er come DER us,
As our feet pass by the daisies
Shall our souls ne'er count His praises
Heaven shows US perfect rest,
There our weary souls are blest.

Still They Come.

x1Ou. hAooIt L 1oim0I, Va LOStVut
one of the ablest Republicans Of
Massachusetts, has left that party
and announced himself for Hancock
and English. He did this good and
patriotic act at the great meeting in
Fanueil Hall, Boston, the same night
that General B. F. Butler withdrew
from the Republican party and gave
in his adherence to Hancock and
English. In doing it, Mr.. Palmer
made one of the best speeches Of the
campaign, one that will be sure to
cause his late Republican associates
to stop and think. The following is
o brief synopsis Of tho more import
ant portion Of his speech:
Mr.. pALMER's SPEECH.
When parties chsnge their prin-
ciplss, said Mr.. Palmer, patriotic
men change their parties. I cast my
first Presidential ballot for Lincoln.
the martyr. I shall cast my next
for Hancock, the great soldier and
the great statesman. The Demo-
cratic party" he continued, sis the
historic party OF the Republic. It
has not always been in power. but
its idsas have always dominated the
government. The Republican party
was born of Democratic inspirations,
graded in Democratic ideas, nursad
by Democratic statesman and carried
to triumph by the votes OF the Dem
ocratic masses. In the fullness of
time its Democratic mission has
been accomplished. It has ceased
to bear Democratic fruit, and the
fungus 2 rowth of sectionaIism which
springs from its decay has ut length
provoked the cry from the people,
{" cut it down; why cumbereth it
the ground% When the Rspubli.
can party first sprang into thu arena,
armed for the fight with q party
nominally Democratic, but actually
sectional. with weapons appropriated
from the armory of Jefersonian
doctrine, it declared for everything
which it now repudiates. Mr..
Palmer went ON to prove this state
ment, quoting Edmund Burke, who
said that " Those who have been in
toxicated with power and have de-
rived any kind of emolument from
it even though but for one year,
never can willingly abandon it."
And what of the cry for purity"
he asked. What of that gallant
band of sturdy tourists who went
out to Chicago demanding a candid
ate without a STAIN" and returned
home swinging their hats for Gar
field? The shield of public purity
is a knigbtly thing, but who shall
hide from the gaze of the American
people the black bag sinister OF
Credit Mobilier and DeGolyer cor
ruption? Such is the last ditch of
the once proud Republican party!
What wonder that the deserters are
many? Bue the deserters have not
deserted it at all; it left itself before
they did. The prints of its descend
ing feet are stamped all over the
history of the past few years. One
after another it's best and purest
leaders have fallen away from it;
MANY have died, and more have re-
sicnedw Mr.. Palmer went on at
some length in this strain and after
an eulogy of Hancock concluded by
introducing General Benjamin F.
Butler.

Gen. Hancock on the Rebel Debt

He Puts an End e another Republican
ter.
The Republicans are always get.
ting their foot into it when they force
Gen. Hancock to write letter or
cause some of the old ones to be
published Each one thus far pro-
duced has been q nail in the Radical
coffin. They have been Larping on
the " Rebel Debt" until the General
has seen fit to give his views On this
question, which be does in the fol-
lowing. The letter is dated Gov
ernor's Island, Sept. %, aud written
! in reply to Theodore Cooke, Of Gin
cinnati, asking for al authoritative
declaration with reference to Rebel
claims. Gen. Hancock " rites:
TO THEODORE Cook, Eso.-Dear
Sir:-Your letter Of Goth is received.
| 1 regret that you ure disturbed about
that bug bear Southern War
Claims. People cannot be inisled
by it to suppose that "Rebel Claims"
| or claims in the interest OF persons
| who were in the rebellion can in any
way or in any degree be counten-
anced. The imputation Of disloyalty
such as used to be made against Dem.
Gratis even when they we're in arms
defending the country, 30 far as 1t
touches me, I denounce. The Gov
ernment can never pay debt or
grant a pension or reward OF any
sort for waging war against its own
existence: nor could be induced to
approve or encouraging payment OF
such debt, pension or reward. No
body expects or wants such unnatur-
al action. TO propose it would in
suit the intelligence and honor of our
people. When tho rebellion was
crushed so was the heresy OF seces-
sion forever. 1t is a thing of the
dead past. We move forward, not
backward. If I were President l
would veto all legislation which
might come before me providing for
consideration or payment of claims
of any kind or losses or damages by
persons who were in lebelllon,
whether pardonsd or not. In rela-
ton to Union war claims, the Gov
ernments obligations to its defend
.rs come first. They are lasting
and sacred. The public laws,of CIV
ilized nations do not in general re-
coonize claims for injuries to proper
tv resulting from operations OF war.
Nevertheless our Government has
treated with great indulgence claims
for losses and damages suffered by
Union men from the military opera
ticns of the war of the Union; but
rs hostilities were closed more than
fifteen years ago, claims of that ma.
turc, now mostly in the hands OF
brokers or persons other than the
original sufferers, are becoming stale
and. in my Judgment, might fairly
be considered as barred by lapse OF
time, and if hereafter entertained at
all, should be subjected to the strict
est scrutiny. Yours very truly,
W. $. HANCOCK.

Radical organ i'll the United States,
