ocrats and absentees (nearly all Demo.

This cowardly action of Democrats is on

elect him by such majority that cor.

For Hancock.
milton fAlal,Amsl Adrcttl.er.

From The N,nlion (AlabAmal Advertiser.
General Winfield $. Hancock. our
choice for President, is duplicate OF
old Hickory in courage, with larger
amount of brains and higher order OF
craftsmanship. While in command OF
the Fifth Military District, composed of
Louisiana and Texas, under the recon.
struction acts he steadily and firmly
refused to enforce the extraordinary
powers with which he was clothed by a
despotic Congress, enacted for the pur.
pose ef tyranniziDg over a fallen, foe
and disrobinR them of their natural
and inalienabie rights.
We throw the name Of this distin.
guished and incorruptible hero, patriot
and statesman to the breeze, as fl
leader of the people in the pending
Presidential contest, in the hope that
those whom he so CALAMITY served in
their most trying hour viii rally to his
banner, and honor him who Tindicated
their rights at time when il required
manhood of the highest type to make
the issue and assert such vindioation.
We are for Hancock 7" The editor in
question met General Hancock seven
times in battle during the war, and the
General gobbled him and his commend
at Gettysburg, and now he goes for the
General so rs TO he even with him.
Until now the General has been one
ahead Of him.

Republican Methods.
FROM The HarrI,bnrg Patriot.

From the Harrisburg Patriot.
The action OF the Board of Pardons
in remitting that part of the sentence
of the riot. bribers which imposed n
years imprisonment in The penitentia.
ry has been severely criticised by the
press in general. including most of the
Republican journals of the State. So
far as these last nre concerned we do
not see that they have much cause of
complaint. There is hardly Republi.
can editor in the State so ignorant Of
the methods of the leaders of his party
as not TO understand that Kemble.
Salter and the rest, in their effort to
secure votes for the riot damage bill.
simply pursued the ordinary course of
Republican machine politicians. Re.
publican campaign management, from
the primaries TO the conventions, from
the conventions TO the ballot. box, from
the ballot box to the returning board,
is based entirely on commercial princi.
Piles and well do the Republican editors
know it. Republican candidates for
Office. especially for legislative Office,
are obliged as a rule to pay more for
their election than their salaries amount
TO- W lAu leH eACeplloHS' therefore, tneY
expect to get their money back with
such interest - they may be able to
secure by selling their votes and innu.
ence in the legislature. The fact that
they are compelled to purchase the OF.
flee certainly does not afford any justifi.
cation Of their subsequent sale Of them
selves. But the methods pursued by
them in obtaining office naturally and
inevitably lead to a corrupt use of the
Office after 1t is obtained. We do not
say that the Democratic party is entire
~ free from the degrading and demor.
slizing influence of commercial politics.
Nevertheless il must be admitted that
before the advent OF the Republican party
but little was known Of the corrupt use
of money in elections and that il the
Democracy ever had bari (which is
doubtful) il was used merely as a de.
fensive agency. In other words, the
Democrats when hotly pressed may have
been compelled, once in while, TO fight
the devil with fire. The fact, however.
remains that corrupt elections produce
corrupt officials, and where the latter
abound corrupt solicitors will also ap.
pear. Where the carcass is the eagles
will gather.

THE colored people, in imitation of
their white brethren who are aspiring
to greatness, have established a bureau
or headquarters at Washington, from
which to boom Senator Bruce into
prominence as candidate for nomi-
nation as Vice President on the Re
publican ticket. They have certainly
a deserving candidate, and the colored
people, who form so important a part
of the Republican voters, particularly
in Pennsylvania, have claims that
ought to secure them favorable CON
sideration. Bruce is an able man and
a gentleman, and if he is passed over
it will be because men of his color are
only considered in place as Republican
voters, not as Republican officers.

WIZ. PITT KELLOGG, who, il is very
generally admitted, occupies seat in
the United States Senate without the
sanction of the Legislature Of Louisi-
ana, and in contravention of the wishes
and desires of the people of that State,
it appears is to retain that seat against
the lawfully elected Senator. And this,
too, by the votes of Democratic sena-
tors. While acknowledging the illegal
ity of his admission to the Senate, the
fraudulent and corrupt character of
the body under which he claims, aud
the base means used to obtain the en-
dorsement of even this illegal body,
Democratic senators are found to hold
that a Republican Senate, having
wrongfully seated Kellogg, the Senate
has no authority now to correct the
wrong and seat the lawfully elected
Senator. We can conceive how nice
system of hair-splitting may prepare
willing minds to adopt almost any
thing to justify wrong. But in view
of the evidence laid before the Senate
by Senator Hills committee, it seems
to us that a little cowardice, If not
venality, may have entered into the
process of preparation for such a con-
clusion.

WAsHBURNE, of Illinois, late of the
French Mission, who has been spoken
of as the probable dark horse for the
Chicago Presidential nomination, says
he will not be q candidate under any
circumstances-that he is for Grant,
first, last, and all the time. Yet his
friends in Illinois coalesced with the
friends of Blaine to prevent the success
of Grant in the choice of delegates
The question now is, who does Wash
burne intend to fool Is it the public,
or Grant, or Blaine? This is conun-
drum in political morality which will
probably be revealed at the conven-
ton.

GEN. john MCDoNALD was con.
nected with the famous whiskey ring
which at st. Louis created so much
stir in 1879. He was the intimate
personal friend of Grant, but now
opposes his nomination for q third
term, and promises damaging disclos.
ures in the event of Grants success,
from documentary testimony in his
possession. Mcdonald was convicted
and imprisoned in the penitentiary,
but intimates that he suffered that
degradation to save the then President
of the United States from exposure.
Under the circumstances, his papers
