EED At THE PUBLIC EXPENSE.

FED AT THE PLBLIC EXPENSE.
We have heretofore called it "indecent "
for public speakers, and especially for Off
cials who have iattened at the public crib to
talk aboutGeneral Hancock being " educated
" and fed al the public expense" Our cs-
tecmed contemporary the Repubiicon, ,aluding
TO our remark, says:
That depends upon its being decent In Democratic
arance to tell the simple truth, for 1t Is true that
General Hancock has been fed from the public Glib
since le entered West Point and that must have been
nearly half century ago. That fact, however, has
not been used matter Of reproac, but by way Of
| comparison between himself and his competitor for
Presidential honors.
Now, with all due Difference to the supc-
rior wisdom Of our contemporary, we
assert that the fact has been used as
matter of reproach. For that rea-
son it was disgraceful and indecent.
The whole question is, has General Hancock
rendered an equivalent for the money he has
received from the Treasury of the United
states II he has, that is an end of the mat
| ter. And we do not believe there is a re-
spectacle Republican paper orspeaker in the
country who will pretend to say that he has
not earned every dollar paid him.
General Hancock has been in the public
service for forty years. His pay has scarcely
averaged 50, 900 year, and he has received
from the Treasury perhaps 3l7j,0 all
told. lie entered West Point in ls40, and
graduated in ls4I. lie was Immediately sent
TO the frontier and in few years we find him
in Mexico, where he bore conspicuous part
and was brevetted for galantry. His ser
vices there and in the war OF the Rebellion
| are part OF the history of the United States
| In all these years ho was continually exp posed
| to danger, for he was always in the thickes
| of the fight in actual war, while in peace IA,
| was always assigned TO posts of RESPONSE
bilty. For years he received the pay of
subaliern officer. lie did not become a
major general until 1862. In all these year
he was obliged 10 devote himself exclusively
| to lfs profession There was noopportunt,
for money making by engaging in other pur
suits. lie served twelve months in tn,
year. His whole time was at the disposal 0
the United states Government,
Now, wha. was the case of the Republican
candidate for Presidentl Counting all hi
public positions, Gen. Garfield has been il
the service, military and civil, nearly twent,
lyears-one half the period of Gen. Hancock
service. For eighteen years he was Con
gresham. lie has received nearly if not quit
100000, and has not been on actual dut,
more than one-half the time. The averag
duration of a long session of Congress is 81!

The stalwart press is shouting once more
its old battle cry. II does not address itself
to the reason and conscience of the voter. 1t
has no argument topersuade the thoughtful
or to convince the doubting. Its only re-
source consists in its oit-rcpeated and hack
neyed appeal to sectional prejudice and pas
sion. 'Vcte as you shot' is the sum and
substance of its augmentation. We are dis
posed to take the stalwart editors at their
word.
Aye, vote as you shot, BE careful,
though. if you do, that your bullet does not
strike Mr.. Hayes's postmaster general, Key,

same direction in which Gen. Hancock
pointed his sword at Gettysburg and the
Wilderness.
=" Vote as you shot" If you do, your aim
will be, as has been that of Gen. Hancock, in
war and in peace, at the enemies of the Con-

IT it amazing that in contest like the
present a party or a faction (call it what
you WILD should in any state pursue a
course calculated to defeat the very object
aimed at. That is what the Virginia Read
justers are doing. They profess to desire the
election of Hancock, and yet by keeping a
scperate electora! ticket in the field they are
playing INTO the hands of the Republicans,
who desire nothing better than that the fight
shall be kept up. What this purely local
question has TO do with national politics, we
have not been able to see, anyhow. ltwould
be far better for the Readjusters to come out
squarely in aid of the Republicans than ia
play into their hands by indircction.

overpaid, or that he has eaten too much out
of the public crib; but we do say that,
weighing the services of the two candidates,
counting the advantages the country has
gained from the services of each, that the
balance'is largely in favor OF Gen. Hancock.

voters in line. The speakers at the Demo

The politicians who have the Republican
party in their keeping have in their des.
peration been guilty of some very contempt
ible tricks since the campaign opened. They
are running upon the theory that false pre-
terces will win. One of the latest schemes Is
the attempt to make il appear that ex- Confed-
crate soldiers are making applications for pen
sions. The campaign committee have sent out
a fac-simile of what purports to be an applica-
ton for pension made by Robert Hanna. of
COMPANY G. Fifteenth Regiment South Caro-
lima Volunteers. who lost limb in 1864. and
therefore claims the bounty of the Govern
