the Democrats, and the reasons are natural
ones, too. Now, in Alabama and Texas the
coallu0us there are with the Republicans,
clearly demonstrating the fact that Ii is
policy and not principle. The causes
Tor coalition between those two parties
are as unnatural as Ii is to have the frosts
of December in the ripening month of July.
There are reasons why coalitions between
the National and Democratic parties should
be formed. but none under the. bright blue
canopy of heaven why they should unite
with the Republican party when il is re-
nowned for favoring rings and monopolies,
and always opposed TO the voice and popular
will OF the people. In the State of Maine
the coalition with the Democratic party is
natural one, and mark the prediction that
the Democrats will carry Maine in Septem-
Der. Then We will see II the Republicans
will Garry banners upon which is inscribed
'As MAINE GOES so GOES THE UNION
as they do in all campaign years. Michi-
gan and Kansas can both be carried
by the Democrats if the National party will
unite with them and can see no sensible
cause or reason why they will refuse to do
SO. see no reason why any currency re-
former should refuse to vote for Hancock
and English. If they are sincere there is no
cause. Now, they set up q howl in Indiana
about Mr.. English having been National
Banker. That should have no force what
ever. Is Mr.. English to be held re-
sponsible for once having been President OF
National Bank? think not. Its not the
man, but the policy. of government. The
great financial success of the bank of which
be was President furnishes a fine iIlustra-
ton OF the unfairness of the system, but it
ought not to reflect on him
personally, because any man of
any party is ready to engage in any
lawful enterprise that will insure

nent business qualities and ability. 1t is the
law which gives such advantages, and not
the man who ayails himself of them, that is
obnoxious to criticism"
What of the situation in general?'
ut is fiattering. Never was it better.
Hancock and English are bound to be elected,
New York, New Jersey, Connections and
Pennsylvania, 1 think, are sure to 60 Demo

diana doubtful when she is not. Ohio, Wis
consin and California and possibly one or
two others OF the Pacific States, are all
debatable. The Democrats are gaining
ground, while the Republicans are losing
The only danger in Pennsylvania, and
there Is none unless it may be through the
frauds practiced in Philadelphia, and there
frauds have been reduced to q system. The
frauds practiced in the city of Philadelphia
are greater than all the frauds CONT ined in

RESUMPTION.
81 have but very little to say on the sab
ject Of resumption" said the General 'If
they will take the aC.s OF God Almighty,
coupled with come Democratic legislation,
the Republican party will be entitled to very
little creditor having accomplished resump
tion-or, rather. what they term resumption"
General Carey is still in the full vigor of =.
manhood, with his bristling locks falling
backward from his brow, possessing strik
ing resemblance to the portrait of South
Cardinals great commoner, John c. Calhoun.
1t is a pleasure 10 feast upon the brillisncy
of his intellect, and in private conversation
be often grows musical in the richness of
his eloquence. After taking ''dip" from
the Generals snuffb box babe him good-dsy,
with the best wishes of the Sentinel follow
ing him on his journey through the pine
forests OF Maine. J. +. ID.
