New YORK Herald: "For the present
the Republicans are holding their own in
the campaign, if not positively gaining
ground against their opponents, who are
still wasting themselves in ~frothy carous-
ings and self-grat ulations. 1t is utterly
profitless for Democratic managers to be
loafing around headquarters in New York
boasting and Dragging of the certainty of
General HaEcock's success. No mere
boasts and brags will suffice to infect the
people with that conviction so long as they
see the Republican canvass in steady, vigor-
Gus operation, filling the public ear every
where with admirably ingenious arguments
addressed to memory and reason, like the
speech of Secretary Schurz, while nothing
is visible on the other side to counterbal-
ance them.''

A Touching Scene.

Colonel John W. Forney is engaged in
making up quiet little Hancock boom in his
one paper, the Progress, and, if his servic-
es are not as valuable as when he run two
papers, both daily he yet may be supposed
to comprehend in some degree what is need
ed by the average Democrat to fire his heart
and to bring him up to the support of a
soldier who wore a whole suit of Union
blue, instead of section of suit of Con-
federate gray. Of course those Democrats
who, like Gen. Anderson, Cap'n, Chase and
j. L. Emery, were original Union men, are
rejoiced to accept Gen. Hancock on ac-
count OF his past military services, but
the average Democrat, the Democrat whose
business engagements compelled him to re-
side in Canada for the greater part of three
weary years is not exactly ready to Gen.
thuse' to order on account of the military
career of his candidate and Colonel
Forney has kindly come to his aid, and in
describing Governors Island where Gen.
Hancock is now holding his republican
court draws this touching picture of do
-AANooi0 AiAS' ~ Wuo LSuTo VI war III
peace. The gray fort, with its flag flying,
the solitary sentinel, the sleepy houses, and
the one servant girl carrying what looked
to be pail of milk, followed by the docile
dog, made up group of still life, that only
needed artistic genius to embalm it as a
gen."
The reference to 1.-THE solitary sentinel
may be little unhappy, as tending to bring
up unpleasant recollections of Fortress
Monroe and Fort Warren. But the ''servant
girl carrying what looked to be pail of
milk" 'the docile dog" following her about,
and the ''sleepy houses" all go to make up a
picture OF domestic bliss, of quiet life, with
which the average Democrat will love to
associate his candidate. Had Colonel For
ney added that Gen. Hancock was found
seated, or, still better, reclining, under a
tree, in his shirt sleeves and slippers, smo-
king 7. D. pipe and reading the New
York Sun, we submit that it would have
added to the campaign attraction OF the pic
ture, which as it is is a gem.

GENERAL BEATTY spoke at Columbus,
Ohio, the other day, and in the course of his
speech gave forcible statement of the rea-
sons that governed the choice at Cincinnati.
He said: 1t was not love for the soldier
record of Gen. Hancock that secured his
nomination at Cincinnati. On the contrary
it was the belief that he could be governed,
directed and utilized politically by the La
mars, the Hills, the Kellys and the Tildens.
They put his brilliant record to the front
for the same reason that pirate ship runs
the pennant of an honored nation to the
masthead; for the same reason that skilful
hunter employs decoy. Had their motives
been good, and their intention to give us
fair, open, and manly battle, they would
have selected a candidate who represented
the principles and traditions of their party;
they would have taken Tilden, Bayard, La
mar, or Hendricks, some one of the hun
dred distinguished Doughfaces of the North,
or of the thousand ex-Confederate Generals
and statesmen of the South. But they knew
too we'll that if the Democratic ship were
launched with any of these with any man,
in fact, who had Democl attic record as its
ostensible commander-it would be boarded
and scuttled by an indignant North, and
sunk so deep that neither time nor eternity
would witness It's resurrection.
