From the moment OF General GarfieldS n0mias-
ton the Democratic ewspapers, led by The World,
have abounded in the Volunteer soldiers of
the war, as distinguished from the Regular Army
soldiers. The extract quoted few days ago from
The Herald Democratic newspaper of ScottsborO.
Ala, explains this hostility: Hancock belonged
to the military service of the country. ami 1t
his professional duty to follow the Stars and Stripes
In obedience to the command of his superiors. He
did his duty. General Garfield quit the vocatons of
teacher and preacher, volunteered his services TO
the SOUTH That - why the Democrats don't like
the Volunteer soldiers, Is 1t f-because they y0lln
teered to help put down the Democratic rebellio
without being forced to do sol When The WOrh
sneers again We shall understand it now.
That glorious result" dispatch from Hancock
to PIaisted is worth more to the Republicans than
a victory in Maine. 1t will cost the superb
100 900 votes in the Northern States.
Wisconsin is perhaps good point as can
be taken from which to compare the present
with that of four years In lS76it doubt
full State, and the Democrats had strong hopes of
carrying it for Tilden. IL certainly received lib
eral contribution from his barrel, and its loss sent
the cipherers n wild goose chase through the
South for electoral votes This year the State left
wholly out of Democratic calculations. They have
no more prospect Of Carrying it than they have of
CARVING Massachusetts, And instead of the O. 900
plurality il gave HAYES, the Republicans are looking
for majority of 20, 900 to 10000. In the canvass
is left TO run itself the former figure will be reached
Bnt as Legislature Is to be chosen which VIII ect
a United States Senator. the Republicans are going
TO work in earnest and expect to roll up majority
that will reach tho latter figure In Congressman,
also gain of tive for the Republicans il claimed as
almost certain. Taken altogcther.the Badger State
illustrates very well the greatly improved prospect
of the party in this Presidential campaign.
The Indiana Democrats are planning to carry the
State on the plan Of colonization which pulled
them through in 1876. They have appointed q
grand rally indianapolis on October 8, Just one
week before election when special trains will be run
into the neighboring States far West Missouri
and as far South as Tennessee. In 1870 they held
what they called a q" soldiers reunion on precisely
the date when professional repeaters and bal
lot-box suffers brought to the city and scat
tered throughout the State. The same scheme will
be tried again this year, but the Republicans ars on
the watch for the offenders and they will be apt to
have livelier time than they are bargaining for
In Kentucky the Democrats are fully aroused to
what Is expected OF them IN tho Southern counties
Of Indiana. They make no concealnlent of their
purpose to cross the border in large numbers aud
vote the Democratic tickeo. The newspapers spur
them on openly. Thus The Louisville Poet announces
that English knows where to spend his money.
He will distribute IL at ths proper time he easy
word to tho Wise. Lot Kentucky do her duty. and
