How Hancock Loses the Day.

 one of the ablest journalists, bu
 also one whose independence
 gives peculiar value to his pOliti
 cal opinions. When Murat Hal
 stead declares that Democrat.
 have lost the day, the chieftains
 of that party tremble, for they
 know his judgment is not warped
 by the intense partisan feeling oi the average politician, and tha,
 his perceptions of the situation
 are clear and reliable. While il
 is gratifying to have his confir-
 nation of reports that Ohio en-
 ters the campaign with great en-
 thusiasm for Gen. Garfield, and
 will give him an overWh elmlng
 victory, it is still more pleasing
 to receive from him the story of how the Democrats have lost the day by losing Indiana, a State in which they have boasted them selves invinclble.
 The inside history of the nom. iDation of English for Vlce-Pres- ident reveals an acrimonious strife between Democrats which has inflicted upon Indiana a can didate whom Mir. Halstead de- clares to be "the most unpopular man in the State." The cloven hoof Of Tilden appears in the struggle, and Tn thrusting swords at each other Tilden and Hen dricks have fatally stabbed Gen. Hancock. Had Hendricks con- sented to take his old place on the Presidential ticket, the nomina- tion of Tilden is said to have been 3 certainty. fingered by his refusal, Tilden determined to have revenge, and instructed Henry Watterson to bring forth William E. English. When friends found their favorite could not win, they tele- for permission to sup port Senator Mcdonald, an able statesman who is as much liked as English is hated in his State. But Hendricks ignored the mes- sage, unwilling to see another EOosier win what he himself could not obtain, and the result was the choice of English; man who is not only the object of general dis like, but who is exceedingly dis. tasteful to Hendricks men, who object 10 the dish of crow which Tilden has thrust upon them. The unpopularity of English and the revolt against the vengeful scheme of Tilden arc pronounced by MT. Halstead fatal to the Dem. ocratic ticket in Indiana next Mo- vember.
 The disaster to Hancock from the attempt of Tilden to force diet of crow upon Hendricks will extend far beyond the loss of the fifteen electoral votes of Indiana. The rejection of the constitution al amendments by the Supreme Court puts Indiana back as an October State, and the discOur. agement of tl-e Democrats will prevent the sweeping victory of the State ticket with which Ben- dricks had hoped to rouse the na- tion to his support month in ad- vance of the Federal election. When Ohio sounds the note of victory III October, and Indiana echoes with a Democratic defeat, the effect upon the Hancock and English ticket in doubtful States will be disastrous. That MT. Halstead is correct in his eSti- mate of the unpopularity of MT. English is indicated by state- ments of United States Treas urer New, who was for fifteen years the business associate of the the Democratic candidate for

AND now we have another candi-
Gate in the field for the presidency,
and the Masonic brotherhood will
have TO take back seat. Gen. John
w. Phelps, of Brattleboro, Vermont,
has written letter formally accept
ing the nomination for president by
the national anti-Masonic society.
During the Morgan excitement the
anti-Masolic movement, which orig
mated in New York, assumed large
proportions. In New York, in 1923,
they polled $4,000 votes for Solomon
Southwick. their candidate for gov-
ernor. In 1929 this vote was swelled
to 10000, and year later to 128,0O0.
The movement spread into other
states, and in 1881 a national anti
Masonic convention was held. Most
of the free states were represented,
and VIM. Writ, of Maryland, was
nominated for president, with Amos
Ellmaker, of Pennsylvania, for vice
president. Vermont, the strong Re-
publican state of to-day, was the on
ly state to give its electoral vote to
Writ and Ellmaker. And perhaps
this is the reason why a son of Ver-
mont is chosen for the anti-Masonic
standard-bearer at this time. If
Gen. Phelps fails to carry Vermont
now, it will be fair to assume that
the anti-Masonic element has grown
weaker, like DR.. Tanner, by its long
fast. Garfield should see to YER
mont, and the Masons may prepare
to be vigorously demolished.

AN old politician is quoted as say
ing the day of the orator is past"
and the truth of his remark is very
apparent. The newspaper has taken
upon itself the duties formerly i'm
posed upon the orator, and the peo-
pie appear to be decidedly pleased
with the change. But few years
ago grand" barbecues and field
days of oratory constituted the chief
feature of apolitical campaign. Now
it is difficult to get out respectable
sized audience to hear political dis
cussion between distinguished lead
cars. The man who has been en-
gagged at business all day takes his
rest at home in the evening, secure
in the knowledge that if the discus
sion contains any good points he
will find them in his newspaper next
day. The newspapers of the day are
the first to give intelligence of all
political movements and incidents,
and the orator must, necessarily,
@thresh over old straw Even in
Congress, where our most brilliant
men are found, the day of oratory is
past. The real work of Congress is
done chiefly in the quiet of the COM
mittee room, and only on rare occa-
sions can the galleries ofeither house
be filed by the announcement of a
forthcoming speech. The Republic
can and Democratic committees, in
the management of this campaign.
place reliance upon the distribution
of sensible reading matter than upon
the sending out of speakers. The
newspaper has certainly superseded
the orator.

An analysis of these figures shows

more favorable basis to the North
and for comparison could not, there
fore, be selected. The figures do not
show that the North is doubling up
in population while the South re-
mains stationary. On the contrary,
it is found that the South is gaining
population even more rapidly than
the boastful West. The fourteen
Northern and Western states from
which returns have been received,
show an aggregate increase of 1910
925, or an average gain of 1892 per
cent. 1t will surprise many to learn
that this increase of per centage is
nearly doubled in that portion OF
the South from which we have re-
turns. The seven Southern states
named have total population OF
9,169, 1881, an aggregate gain of 1885,
882, showing an average increase OF
1929 per cent. The aggregate in
crease in the twenty-five states and
Utah is 7,S25,O21, or an average gain
of nearly 90 per cent. If this rate is
to be maintained in the portion OF
the country from which no returns
have yet been received, the full GEN.
sus will show a population of 81
$4,000, being an increase of 1885,.
600 during the decade. The census
department, however, estimates
short of this sum.

Now THAT the Greenback-Repub-
acknowledgements fusion ticket is
beaten clear out of sight in Alabama
the Greenback party is in distress
and is going to pieces. This distress
is greatly aggravated from the fact
that Hon. Peter Cooper of New
York and Gen. Sam Cary of Ohio,
the candidates of the Greenback par
ty for president and vice president
in 1876, have quietly .chucked the
whole fiat money business overheard
and declare their intention to sup
port Gen. Hancock. That great
shining light, "Moses in the Wilder
ness" to the Greenbackers, Brick
Pomeroy, has also thrown up the
sponge and declares he will not sup
port the Greenback nominees. The
leaders of the party have discovered
that the American people have too
much intelligence to be led off by
Greenbackery and other quackery,
and are quietly retiring, leaving the
rag-tag and bob-tail office-seekers
to run the machine, which will not
hold together much longer.

THE sHERIFFs RESOLVE.
The following resolutions were

The following resolutions were
adopted by the sheriffs at Dallas:
l. We disclaim all effort or incli-
nation upon the part of this associa-
ton to increase the fees now allowed
by law to sheriffs, but we rely upon
the wisdom of our legislature to so
regulate them as to justly compen-
safe us for services rendered and
money expended.
2. We believe that the peculiar re-
lations which sheriffs sustain to the
execution of the criminal law in this
state, discover to them many defects
therein, which would escape the at
tention of the most careful and con-
scientious legislator. and that il is
our duty as well as privilege as sher-
ifs. to call the attention of our legis-
lature to such defects 10 the end,
that in its wisdom it may make such
changes and corrections as will pro-
mote the prompt and faithful exc
cution of every provision of our pc
nal code and code of criminal pro-
cedure.
3. Believing that the proper prep
Legislature would require more time
and deliberation than this assOcia-
ton can at present bestOw, and be-
lieving it to be all important that
such suggestions be so formulated
as to present fully and particularly
the views of the sheriffs of Texas,
4. We, therefore suggest that this
association appoint committee of
five to prepare bill or bills fully
embodying the changes or correc-
tons in the law which this associa-
ton deem necessary TO be made.
5. That the members of this body
rem who. are absent, and the eXecu-
tive officers of the state generally.
be requested to correspond with the
chairman of said committee, before
the first day of November next. Civ
ing fully their views upon the needed
changes and corrections i'll our Grim
inal laws.
6. That said committee, at some
convenient time and place, after No
vember the first, meet and formulate
for the legislature such bill or bills
as will fully express the wishes and
suggestions of the association.
Z. That said committee be also
charged with the duty of having
said bill or bills properly presented
and referred at the next session of
our legislature. thus bringing our
suggestions squarely before them
and preventing the silent evasion
which alone was accorded us at its
last session.
8. 1t is believed that each sheriff
in Texas should be supplied with
printed copies of the work of said
committee as soon as the same is
completed, to the end that he may
secure the support of his immedi-
ate representative in securing the
passage of such bills.
9. Whether the last suggestion is
the. will of the association or not,
still we urge upon every sheriff in
the state the supreme. necessity, by
himself and through his friends, of
securing the earnest support of his
representative in effecting these
needed reforms, and it is believed
that if we can bring our representa-
tives TO fully understand the diff
culties in the way of a prompt and
efficient administration of our GRIM
inal laws they can but be with us in
this attempt to protect the fair name
and fame of our beloved state.

THE Philadelphia Times closes an
article on the political battle that is
to be fought in that city this year as
follows: Everything points to a con-
test of unusual desperation IN Phil
adelphia, and the largest poll by
many thousands ever given in the
city. The Republicans have three
fourths of the election boards and
the machinery necessary to resolve
all doubts in their favor; but they
will now be met by the confident,
defiant and desperate Democratic
army they have encountered since
1860. 1t viii be Greek locking horns
with Greek, and the Republican SUI
premacy in the city viii be contested
at every step by the Democratic
faith that looks for Hancock tri-
mnph in the state.
