The announcement that Senator
Jones of Nevada, has withdrawn
from the Republican party, and will
support Hancock and English, is a
pretty strong indication that Nevada
will cast her vote with the Demo
Gratis. Senator Jones is very popu

significant.

preference, for, had it been left to
the unpurchasable votes, there is not
a shadow of doubt but SHULTz would
have been beaten by more than a
thousand majority. Money purchas-

means secured his election. The

Democrats who attend Republican
meetings and cannot behave them
selves, had better remain away. No
one but a very vulgar, uncouth, un-
gentlemanly blackguard, will inter
rupt or attempt to disturb a public
meeting, and the man who does it
forever stam s himself in a decent
community as a blatant coward and
an unfit associate for honorable peo-
pie. Again we say to all Democrats,
if you do not intend to quietly and
gentlemanly listen to Republican
speakers, don't go to their meetings.
Keep away. Don't render your.
self contemplate and characterless,
and show that you r an ignorant
boor, by ill behavior at a public
speaking. 1t is the lowest and
smallest business any man can en-.
gage in or get down to, in this free
and civilized country, and only those
who hesitate at nothing thatis low
vile or dishonorable, will be guilty
of it.

Since the nomination Of Gen. Han
cock for President by the Demo
brats, the Republican papers and
Republican stump speakers have la
bored hard 10 belittle the part Gen.
Hancock took in the battle of Get
tysburg. Some of them have even
gone so far as to deny that Hancock
was in the battle at all, and that the
Democrats are trying to rob Meade
of the honor due him. The follow
ing quotations from an impartial
authority, will go far toward settling
the matter with fair and unbiased
minds-upon minds that aresother-
wise we shall waste no effort.
In Appleton's Cyclop@dia, pub
llshed in 1874, may be found the fol
lowing upon the battle of Gettys-
burg: ana
July 1. = 9Meade, who was 15
miles distant, had learneda that there
was fighting at Gettysburg and sent
Hancock with orders to take COM
mand of the force there, and decide
what should be done, for as it hap
pened Meade knew nothing of Get
tysburg. HANCOCK DECIDED THAT
THIS WAS THE PLACE TO GIVE BATTLE
and sent back word to Meade to hur-
ry all his troops to the place."
Again, in describing the "grand
attack of the day." when Pickett's
Virginia Veterans, aided by Petit:
CREWS brigade, advanced IN their
wild charge, this same Appleton's
Cycloedia says:
July3 4 * "Pettigrew's brigade
was within 300 yards of Hancock's
line, which had reserved its fire. In
five minutes the whole brigade was
streaming back in wild disorder"
In the article on Hancock in this
same edition Of Appleton's Cyclic
padia it is said:
"In the decisive action of July 3, he
commanded on the left centre
which was the main point assailed by
the Confederates."

NEW YORK'S ELECTORAL VOTE.
A Plan to Make it Sure for the Rcpublica


A Plan to Make it Sure for the Republican
Party.
In the New York Legislature last even
ing was introduced bill for radical
change in the electing of presidential
electors. If it becomes a law the people
of New York next fall will elect their
presidential electors by congressional dis
tricts. The bill provides that two electors
at-largc shall be chosen: that is,
each electoral ticket placed in the
ballot-box next fall will bear the
names of three electors. There is
no doubt about the inspiration of this bill.
1t is said that the men who prepared it
have done so because they regard it us
likely to meet much less opposition than
the suggested election of electors by the
Legislature. 1t is also believed that should
it become law at least twenty three of
the thirty-five electoral votes of the state
are certain to be cast for the Republican
nominee for president. 1t is also certain
that many of the leading members of the
Legislature were consulted about it. 1t
was known some days ago in Washington
that this bill would not only be intro
duced, but that every effort will be made
to secure it's passage.

ner in which they were bridging the bloody
chasm, when the union officer spoke in
most complimentary terms of Gen. Bragg,
OF Confederate, as we'll as Mexican, war
fame. He said that although General
Bragg was still bitter rebel, he rather
admired him for his gallantry at Buena
Vista, and was glad he had to-day met and
shaken hands with him. "Shaken hands
with him to-day!' said the ex-rebel, con-
temptuously, "wby our Bragg has been
dead several years. You must have met
the other fellow who is less of bullets and
more of bragger, who fought on your
side during the war, but has been wiggling
around ever since to get on ours. He is
from Wisconsin, member of Joe John

us, and it is questionable whether we
ought to trust them with the execution of
civil or political power. This perspective
of Gen. Grant, in our estimation, does not
present favorable prospective for our
victorious hero nor for his country. Mrs.
Grant, no doubt, foresees that an elevation
to the presidency might be as fatal to her
happiness, the reputation of her husband
and the good other country, as Helen was to
Troy; and hence, like poor, demented An
dromache, she practically cries, asa Helen
and woe,' abandon all aspirations to the
presidency, let us keep our glasses turned
down and return to our little brick house
and one servant in Gelena again. 1t is all
nonsense to suppose that no other man is
competent to administer our republican
form of government If there is not, then
give it form and head, which will be
more permanent. and abandon republican,
ism entirely. 1t is humiliating that so
many, who themselves are seemingly con-
petent for president, should be willing to
play second fiddle, OF even the bass drum
to General Grant. Our government, we
had thought, was founded upon principles
and not on men. Principles are eternal,
but men are ephemeral. 1t lived without
Grant long ago; it lives without Washing
ton to-day, and may live without either q
century hence. SYLLA-BUE.

WHY is this Thus y

There is a notable subsidence in the
demand of the NcU Era and it's faction
of the Republican party in this county,
upon the chairman of the county COM
mittee and his associates, to call a pri-
mary election to elect delegates to the
state convention, according to the rules
of the party. There is no question that
under those rules there is no proper au-
thority to elect these delegates except
primary election nor is there any doubt
that after the call of the state committee
sufficient time was left for the county
committee here to be assembled, and for
a primary election to be ordered and
held. 1t is not to he assumed that the
New Era's editor gives up the contest for
the law of the party as hopeless one
since he cannot forget how, some dozen
wears ago, when the county committee
usurped the power of electing state dele
gates, the sharp and strong opposition of
the Express dislodged the enemy and
forced him to take the field.
Wherefore then are it and its party
silent while the rules are being strangled
in the county committee
Two explanations are offered for the
matter. One is that the chairman of the
county committee and his associate
Bull Ringers threatened that if they were
forced into calling primary election
now they would provide for the nomina-
tion of the whole county ticket; the
other faction, which objects to being
called the Hog Ring, not being prepared
for this, agreed to abandon the demand
for a primary election. The other sug-
gested explanation is that the Cameron
people, being desperately in earnest about
tn e state convention, have en-

''OOfty GOOft" at Fulton Hall.
Last evening Augustin Days " Under
the Gaslight, was presented at the opera
house by "Oofty Gooft" (Gus Philips)
and dramatic company. The audience was
of very good size, the gallery being crowd
ed. The play is very sensational and is
full of thrilling scenes. Mr.. Phillips ap-
pearcd as Snorksy, the German messenger.
He is good actor of that kind, his dialect
being especially pleasing. The characters
of Laura Cou,hand and Pearl were well
taken by Misses Adelaide Thornton and
Grace Roth, both of whom are pretty young
ladies and painstaking artists. The
impersonation of Ray Traford by W. H.
Southland was deserving of praise.
J. r. Spackman, in the character of Byke,
''the heavy villain,' was very natural and
his makeup was appropriate. Miss Alice
Wren, as Pachblossom, was very lively and
her singing was clever. Ed. Cleary made
a good Irish apple waman and his neat .jigs
assisted in making him favOrite. Miss
Bessie Clifton,as Old Judas, was very poor.
the character being entirely outside of the
peculiar line of talent. Most of the acting,
that of the hero and the heroine,
was loudly app!auded and there were
enough sensational situations to fill dime
novel;
One of the best features Of the show was
the introduction of the train of cars on the
stage, but this was greatly marred as, in
making the trip, the train came in contact
with the scenery and piece of it was car
ried across the stage by the little engine.

Lucky Oil EXPLOSION.

Several workmcn were engaged in filling
one of the large oil tanks at Pratt's astral
oil works, Williamsburg, N. Y, when
there was terrific explosion. The top of
the tank was blown off, it's contents burst
out, and the oil, of which there was large
quantity, was quickly spread over the
whole premises. The men who
were employed at the works
had miraculous escape from death.
Three men were slightly injured and all
came very near drowning in oil. The
works are so well constructed that any
escape of oil through leaks or bursting
of pipes cannot come in contact with fires.
The force of the explosion and the report
was very great. Windows of all the houses
in the vicinity were blown out, and in
those near the corner whole sashes were
shattered to pieces. People asleep in
in them were nearly thrown from their
beds, and they fled from their apartments
to the street in their night clothes, sup
posing there had been an earthquake.
