The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1880-08-28

The reflection must be humilating
to the mind of such a pure and loyal
statesman as General Hancock is
alleged to be, that as the candidate of
his party it is incumbent upon him
to proclaim his loyalty to the Gov
ernment. and to give the assurance
that all the amendments to- the Conx
stitution will be protected and en-
forced if he should become the Chief
Magistrate. Fhe amendments to the
Constitution are just as much part
of the instrument as the first article
is part of it, and why should Gen.
eral Hancock come out and give as
surance of his support of those
amendments ? why should not Gen.
eraf Garfield have done the same
thing? Because it was unnecessary.
Everyt ody knows that the amend
merits will be respected by the Re-
publican party, while Gen. Hancock
thinks it essential to record a promise
that the Democrats will do the same
thing. He knows it is necessary to-
proclaim his party's loyalty, for the
record is against it.

The Indiana Democrats are scared
that's evident. For the trouble
they are in they can thank Hem
drickss He indicted the Supreme
Court of the State to declare uncon-
stitutional the amendment changing
election day from October to Novem-
ber. The decision was made while
the National Democratic Convention
was in session, and was designed to-
impress upon that gathering the inn
portance OF putting Hendricks at the
head of the ticket. The Convention
failed to be impressed further than toy
put English at the tail. Now 1T app
pears that the State is likely to- go
Republican, in October, and thus in
sure the election of Garfield. For
once in his life, therefore, Hendricks
didn't straddle. He put both fees
down on the wrong side, and tipped
the whole party up.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1880-08-28

Althou"h many bets are being
offered by independents and Repub.
licans that Hancock will not carry 4
single Northern State, and very few
OF them are being taken, it is net
worth while to place toe nauch con-
hdence In the guesses OF sporting
men but careful review of the field
in the cold light Of the electoral re.
turns from the different States shows
that Hancock has a very uphill Job
on his hands, to get the necessary 1S5
electoral votes. IF Garfield Carries
all the Northern States he will have
222 electoral votes. Without New
York he Will have 1877, while if he
loses, instead. Indiana, Connecticut
Maine, Oregon and California, he
will still have 1876. Or if he loses
New York, Connecticut and Indiana,
out carries Virginia and New Jersey,
he will have 1856. On the other hand,
Hancock cannot be elected without
the votes of the solid South, with
those of New York and Indiana |;
New York. New Jersey and Connec.
ticut or Oregon or Indiana, Connec-
ticut, Maine. California, Oregon and
Nevada, to get 1877 votes. The com.
binations of the actual figures all
seem to be against the Democratic
candidate.

IF the South has entered upon a.
deliberate conspiracy to- falsify the
census, as now seems apparent, the
growth of "sectionalism'' in the
North will be fast and furious. This
is a matter of National concern.
Stuffing ballot>boxes is bad enough,
but that is partially a local offence.
To carry the principle into the census
will be to convince the North that
the South is not to be trusted in any
manner that the sole policy is to get
power at any cost of principle. In
Fact, the effect of the suspicious about
the census is already apparent. Men
who have hesftated to believe that
the South would ever seek to have
its claims paid. or to be remunerated
for its freed slaves, now declare that
section which will commit crimes
like these would be guilty of any,
thing, even to robbing the Treasury.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1880-08-28

1t is announced by the Democrats
that the Republicans have resolved
on sectional campaign. The honor
of originating that kind of cam
paign belongs to the Democrats. They
declared their purpose to make it
when they claimed the 1873 electoral
votes of the South solid for their
ticket, and the $4,000 bogus majority
is The first fruit of the plan. The
Republicans have merely accepted
the challenge to stand up once moro
against the infamous principles which
Wade Hampton declares are the
same as those for which the South
fought for four wears. 1t is the DEM
ocratic party which has raised the
sectional flag, and il is that party
which is destined to go down in de.
feat under it,.

There is a splendid dry goods house
in this place that is always enlisted in
the prosperity of Milan and its public
enterprises. The firm is liberal, and
composed of wide-awake business men
who buy goods as cheap and sell them
as cheap as anybody in West Tennes-
see. Their names appear frequently
in the columns of the EXCHANGE, and
through this medium they talk to the
people who trade here. They are anx-
ious and not afraid to let the people
know what kind of goods they keep
and how they sell them. This house
deserves a liberal patronage from the
public, because it is full of pluck and
enterprise. Modesty almost forbids
the mention of the names OF the firm,
but the people know them well, 50 here
