Democracy EpitOmized.

Epitomizing the action of the Demo-
cratic party since 1856 on the great pub
lie questions of the day, it appears:
l. The tariff: That the party, since
1856, has favored absolute free trade, q
revenue tariff. "incidental protection"
and the remission of the question to the
Congressional districts; and, at the
present moment, has named as its can
didate for the Presidency Pennsylva-
mia protectionist.
2. The currency. In 1863 the party
favored the payment of the bonds in
greenbacks, and in 1876 it denounced
the Resumption act as "a hindrance to
resumption" but now favors "honest
money"
3. Reconstruction. The constitution
al amendments were declared p" revolu-
tionary and void" in 1868; their rigid
enforcement demanded in 1872; accept
ed in form in 1876; and broken in letter
and spirit by the Southern Democrats
from the day they were adopted till
now.
4. The war was pronounced failure
in 1884 its results partially agreed to
in 1868-and the soldiers and sailors
have been thanked in every Democratic
platform since.
s. The Democratic party has wholly
abandoned the ante-war theory of the
party in regard to public improvements,
and has adopted the Republican theory,

The Hancock Plan.

If Gen. Hancock should be elected he
would probably have a Cabinet, and it
is likely that good many new appoint
ments to Office would be made-very
likely. It would he interesting then to
see the Hancock plan of running Gov
ernment, as embodied in the Generals
extraordinary communication to Gen.
Sherman in 1877, put into operation on
large scale. The reader will hardly
have forgotten that this plan involved,
not the subordination of the military to
the civil power, but the subordination
of all power to subordinates, including
the right Of Major General to start .
revolution whenever one of his political
friends calls on him for troops, and to
give his superiors notice that he will
obey them or not, as he pleases. The
Tribune, with that prophetic eye which
is to be found among the apparatus of
every 6rst-class newspaper, is able to lay
before its readers specimens of the off,
cial correspondence which would take
place II 0on. Hancock should be elected:

Renouncing the Democracy.

At a rousing Republican meeting At
Lansing, Mich, the Lansing Garfield
and Arthur Guards were organized with
much enthusiasm. Judge William II.
Pinckney, for many years Democrat,
and late Greenbacker, was present,
signed the constitution and donned the
badges. He was heartily cheered, and
in response said: II shall vote and
work for the Republican party, because
! think they represent the party Of
justice and equity" The nomina-
ton OF Hancock was the thinnest
kind of subterfuge ; if elected he would
be controlled and manipulated by South
ern politicians, and would be literally
under their control, on account of his
lack of experience in civil and political
lite. Il he Pinckney) lived his voice
should be heard many times in the COM
ing campaign, and he should give forth
no uncertain sound. He was Garfield
and Arthur man. At the close of his
speech he was again loudly applauded.
MIR. Pmckney is forcible and eloquent
speaker, and is heartily welcomed to the
Republican ranks.
Judge P. A. Orton, of the banking
firm of Orton, Otis & Co., at Darling
ton, Wis.,. and one of the most distin-
guished members of the Wisconsin bar,
has renounced the Democratic party,
with which he has always affiliated, and
declares his intention, in a manly and
spirited letter, to vote and use his influ-
ence to elect the Presidential ticket
nominated by the Republicans at the
Chicago Convention. Judge Orton has
q large following in Southern Wisconsin
among the Democrats, and will, un-
doubtedly, induce many of his old patri-
otic associates to Join with him in sup
porting Garfield and Arthur.

The Power Of q Cyclone.

In discussing the two cyclones which
visited the Bay of Bengal in October,
1876, Mr.. Elliott, meteorological re-
porter to the Government of Bengal, in
cidentally gives some idea Of the cyclon-
can forces which are developed by such
storms. The average "daily evapora-
ton " registered by the Bengal instru-
ments in October is 1.-TWO inches" The
amount Of heat absorbed by the con-
version Of this amount of water daily
over so large an area as the Bay Of Ben
gal is enormous. "Roughly estimated
says Mr.. Elliott, cit is equal to the con-
tlnuous working power of 800, 600 steam
engines of 1000 horse power" A simple
calculation will show that it suffices to
raise aloft over 45, 900 cubic feet of water
every twenty-four hours from every
square mile Of the bosom of the bay,
and transport it to the clouds which
overhang it. When we extend the cal
culation from single square mile to the
area Of the whole Indian gulf, the mind
is lost in the effort to conceive the force
which, in days time, can lift sc, ,OOO. 600
tons! Yet it would be easy to show that
such figures, fabulous as they seem, do
dot adequately represent the cyclonic
forces of single storm. .--Londoa Times.

The Man with q Glass Eve.

As train on the Kansas Pacific
pulled away from the Sixteenth street
depot, few mornings since, . tall,
angular specimen of humanity took q
seat opposite lady passenger, and, to
all appearances, was intently engaged
in studying her face. At first the lady
treated the rudeness with good-natured
indifference. But at last it began to
tell on her nerves. It was a curious
and astonishing piece Of impertinence.
He apparently had the faculty Of look
ing two ways at once. One Of his eyes
was restless, excited, and roved in all
directions. The other, fixed and stony,
fastened on her with an undertaking
stare. She turned her head away, but
it intercepted her vision. She tried to
hide behind paper, but she felt that
cruel eye piercing through the screen
and creeping with stony look all
over her features. It seemed to be
picking them up one by one, and ex-
amining them with care. The thing be-
came unendurable, and she cried out to
him fercely:
"Sir, why do you look at me so per-
sistently w."

eyes, sir, it's that eye."
"Wen, madam, that eye won't do
you any harm. 1t generally looks any
way it pleases-it gives me good deal
of trouble. A great many complain of
it. At first I thought they were making
fun of me, but I've found out differently
now. I've been knocked down two or
three times for the impertinence Of that
eye. I would leave it out altogether
but for the looks of the thing. It's Q
glass eye, madam-only q glass eye. I
hope you'll excuse it. But, upon my
soul, I'm not surprised that even glass
eye should feel interested in 80 pretty q

to bear upon her in undisguised admira-
ton.

PLANTATION, and the rest Of the journey
was passed very pleasantly to both Of

In the Southern States the negro popu-

below. Some twenty years ago Demo.
Gratis then used to "foster" the educa-
ton of the blacks with the cato mine
tails, and proverbiaily the influence of

mocracy, ignorant blacks should not be
counted, for it never professed an incli-
nation to teach them, and in this respect
its practice tallies exactly with its pro-
fessions. The States chosen are and al

Resort to the Old Familiar Tactics of

General Devens ON the Situation.
Washington Telegram to Chicago Inter Ocean.l
Attorney General Devens, speaking of
the accounts received of the status of the
Republican party in the South, says
that they do not harmonize with the in
formation he has received through the
officers Of his department. He believes it
is the determination of the Democratic
leaders there not to permit the Republi.
cans to organize nor to conduct an active
campaign in any of the States of the
South except Virginia. In the latter
State he says local political issues will
afford the Republicans opportunity to
take part in the campaign, but there IS no
use Disgusting the fact that in the other
States the Democrats, by their usual
schemes Of intimidation and violence,
propose to have a clear field. He
does not expect to be able to ap-
point any Marshals of elections in those
States, for notice has been served that
any one accepting such an appointment
will do so at his peril. The Democrats,
therefore, are thus early preparing the
way for solid South in support Of their
nominee, and the law officer of the Gov
ernment admits himself absolutely
powerless to enforce the election laws in
at least ten States, in some of which
there is an admitted Republican major
ity, on account Of the combination of
partisan leaders to override the political
rights of citizens who differ with them
in opinion. The Government sees no
way to assert its authority in the absence
of active public sentiment in its sup
port, and, therefore, in the coming cleo
ton will be compelled to see the laws
trampled under foot with impunity, and
the mockery of an election enacted un-
rebuked and unchastsed, unless out.
ragged public sentiment in the free North
should hurl this party of rebellion and
disobedience of law into oblivion by the
supreme power and majesty of people
who are above and superior to the domi-
nation and control of the agencies which
manipulate and shape Southern politics.
