The Philadelphia Press has made
an important discovery. 1t detailed
one of the talented gentleman connect
ed with its reportorial corps to trace
out the genealogy of General Hancock.
The result of his research is given in
the Press and is calculated to strike
terror to the hearts of Democrats
everywhere. 1t Itappears that the grand
father of the General was at one
time an inmate Of the Montgomery
county alms-house. This is supposed
to be official. 1t now devolves upon
the enterprising Journal to show that
the Democratic candidate for Presi.
dent committed the Nathan murder,
and stole Charlie Ross.

SKIES BRIGHT ! All the disturbing
discords in the Democratic ranks are
in a fair way of adjustment. In New
York the contending factions have
reached satisfactory settlement which
assures Democratic success in the En-.
pire State. In Philadelphia, dissentions
have succumbed to union and patriot
ism, and we shall have gratifying re-
suits from the Quaker City; and in
Virginia, where the Democrats and Re
adjusters have each an electoral ticket
pledged to the support of Gen. Han.
cock, there is the most gratifying evi.
dence that all will be well, and that
the Republicans will not be permitted
to profit by divisions. The name OF
Hancock is a tower of strength. Fac
ton, as well as the Republican party,
must fall before the enthusiasm of the
people in the prospect of an honest ad-
ministration of the government, which
the election of the great soldier and
statesman assures.

Mr.. HAYES has appointed General
Henry S. Huidekoper, of Crawford
county, Postmaster of Philadelphia,
vice General Hartrafnt, transferred to

not entirely pleasing to the Philadel,

WE would quietly suggest to our
esteemed friend, Gen. James A. Bea-
yer, in anticipation of his next cam
paign speech, that he can do himself
infinitely more credit by giving his
anxious and admiring hearers some
decent explanation of Garfeld's con-
nection with the Credit Mobilier scan
dial and the De Golyer bribe of s5, 900,
than he will ever gain by making
silly and ill.natured personal illusions
to Democratic soldiers who support
Hancock. We would like the Cen
eral to act upon our suggestion for his
own sake, if not for the good of his
party, but are not at all confident that
he will do so. Too much cannot be
expected from any one after he per-
mits himself to become a mere tool in
machine politics.

THE exodus is still in full tide 1t
is not now the rush of negroes from

desire honest, free government, to the

BELLEFONTE, PA. THURSDAY, JULY %, $780,

fornia the detection of the workingmen
to Hancock has alarmed the Repub-
lican leaders and makes the Golden
State doubtful. The Democratic party
is now cordially united for the first
time in twenty years. The nomina.
ton Of Hancock and English has
effected this result. 1t only remains
for us to reap the harvest on the
Second of November.

lT appears that an error was made
in ascribing TO Justice Swayne of the
Supreme Court, the opinion recently
published in reference to the De Col
yer bribe to Gen. Garfield. The case
in which the Garfield bribe appeared
was passed upon by Judge Farwell, in
the Circuit Court of Cook county,
Illinois, and not in the Supreme
Court by Judge Swayne. A decision
of Judge Swayne in another case is
referred to as authority, that as the
$4,000 paid by De Golyer to Gar
field, then chairman Of the appro-
priation committee, twas an agree
ment for the sale of official inhu-
cnce, and therefore void as against
public policy and good morals" could
not be credited to De Golyer as a
legitimate item Of expenditure on the
job, in settlement of the profits with
other interested parties. The facts,
however, SO far as Garfield is concern
ed, are not changed. He stands before
the country as one who, for the paltry
sum of $4,000, betrayed his trust, and
basely sold his official influence as
chairman of the appropriation com.
mittee TO consummate mean and
most disreputable fraud upon the
city of Washington, as well as upon
the treasury Of the country.

THE Republican this week is unusu-
ally economical with the truth. 1t
indulges in IN imaginary account of
the Democratic meeting at Pleasant
Gap on last Saturday evening, alludes
to letter of Archbishop McCloskey
in relation to Gen. Hancock's Cathol-
ocism, letter which by the way the
Republican well knows Cardinal Nc.
Closkey has branded Us an awkward
forgery, and then i'll its anxiety to
strike at Judge Orvis it devotes almost
column of its valuable space in de-
nouncing him for appointing Regis
tration Assessor in the western precinct
of Ferguson township in violation Of
law. The Associate Law Judge is
threatened with impeachment and his
action in this matter held up as an
alarming exhibition OF Judicial turpi-
tude. This is all very well, hut as it
happens Judge Orvis has made no
appointment at all of an assessor in
Ferguson township, its Indignation is
mere waste of words. We are sorry
for our perturbed contemporary, and
would mildly suggest to the small
coterie of very small lawyers who are
generally credited with presiding over
its editorial columns, that a strict adj
herence TO the truth will in future
save them much annoyance while it
will conduce greatly to the credibility
of their paper.

GARFIELD was one of the visiting
statesmen who, with John Sherman
and Mad. Wells, in 1875, committed
the great Presidential larceny in Lou

magnitude and shameless character OF
that fraud, he also served as one of the
to 7 Electoral Commission, TO com
plete the theft and install a fraudulent
executive in the Presidential office.

A SERIOUS detection of German
Republicans in Ohio is one of the most
encouraging of recent political devel-
opments. The Cleveland Rdchter am
Erie, the most influential German pa
per in northern Ohio has abandoned
the Republican party and hoisted the
names of Hancock and English. The
German vote has been the salvation of
the Republicans in Ohio for several
years, but now that the Ohio "idea"
has received its quietus the property
holding, honest sons of the Fatherland
are found on the side ofharmony and
administrative reform. Garfield taint-
ed record and unsavory reputation
don't suit the thrifty, honorable Ger
mans, hence their support of men with
clean records and untainted names.
