disordered state of society on the Pa

disposed TO fear that such would be
the result But fortunately the law
proved itself TO be stronger than the

not to be put to rout by a single as,

"4MAKE US A KING"

The New York Herdld in alluding
to tho Empire movement on the part
OF the Grant leaders, quotes an old
authority, remarking:
The Indiana lawyer who told u Con
gressional committee day or two ago
that rather than be ruled by the Dem.
ocrats he was for the ex.President for
King, is type of that class of fine iel'
lows, known in every age and country
who would rather fly to any evil that
they know not of than to endure an
imaginary one that may seem immi'
nent. There was a lot of high.spirited
patriots OF the same order among the
ancient Israelites; they looked dis
trustingly upon the impending brood
of Judges, or rulers, who, indeed, were
intent upon looking out for themselves
and their party, The dissatisfied fac
ton, however, instead of canvassing
their own friends for better breed OF
Judges, shouted "Make us a king and
they were equally emphatic in their
demandfora strong government. They
got what they asked for; with an i'm
plication of satire that is quite unusual
in Holy writ, but entirely excusable in
the case in question or any other like
it. We read that the person selected
as king was man who had gone out
in search of asses, They got the strong
government, too, and as a natural con
sequence they had wars and glory and
taxes, Just like their greatest neigh
bors, as long as their men and money
lasted then, as a nation, they disap.
peared. There is faction in Ameri
can politics that is just as virtuously
indignant at what seems to them O
probable evil as the Hebrew patriots
were but when, instead Of helping
themselves, they demand that some
body else shall do their work, they are
sure to receive more jeers than fol-
lowers.

THE COMING CAMPAIGN.

The approaching Presidential cam.
paign will be one of great Importance
IN many ways. While wo firmly be-
lievo that largo majority OF the cleo.

had nearly quarter Of u million ma
jority of the popular vote, but was de-
prived Of the Presidency, The same
influences will be brought to bear again
in the campaign. The Republican
party will go just us far as they dare
in electing Republican President this
Fall. They will not give up the hun.

Of the American people who were rob

tration was inaugurated, thon the con-
spirators were rewarded by the best
offices within the gift of the Govern
mont. These men will never yield
their places until absolutely forced to.
1t is well, therefore, for the Demoo.
racy TO remember that victory can
be achieved cnly by earnest and faith
tul work from the time the campaign
opens until it closes. Every true Dem
ocrat, who values the success OF his
party and the welfare of his country,
will have a work to perform. There
should be no drones in the ranks. Let
every man put his shoulder 10 the
wheel and assist to the best OF his pow
ers. No man but can give some help
in his own way, and recollect that all
are benefited in the general result
We want an earnest aud vigorous, ag.
grcssive campaign, and in order TO
meet with success there must be a unity
of purpose. This can only be accom-
pllshed through organization. The
time is near at hand now when the
Democracy should organize in every

as essential to have good organiza.

REASONS FOR NOllTNA TING
HANCOCK,


A pamphlet Just Issued gives four
teen reasons for the nomination OF Gen
Hancock by the Democratic National
Convention. These are so well ex,
pressed that we cannot do bettor than
to reproduce them here;
| |. Heisa true exponent Of Democratic tbeorisi
aud Democratic principles.
2. He has filled to The fullest measure the du.
ties Of well rounded life, 10 which are slngularly
blended the highest type Of the American soldier
and the splendid exempliheation Of the civil
| ruler.
,, lie maintains the subsorvieney OF the mill.
tary to the civil authority.
| d lie is, personally, the most popular man OF
the nation.
! 5. His nomination would secure thousands OF
votes from Union soldiers who would support nc
other Democratic candidate.
0. His nomination would harmonic the con.
tending factions In New York.
z lie can carry the State Of Pennsylvania,
s. His snomination would create such enthusiasm
in tho South as to render the result in every
State beyond doubt.
o. His character and record are such that 10 no
possible event could he be put on the defensive.
u lNs MS uulluhtlON Nbhlu huhhkNulAN nv NNN'
tion Of the country, nor portion OF the Demo
cratic party.
IL. lie, better than any other man living eau
allay the passions Of civil strife drive sectional
ism out of politics and forever end the "boody
shirt" crusades.
l2. His entirs life Is an earnest one, that he
would call none to his eounsels but those on whom
the country could safely rely.
Is. He combines more elements VI strength and
availability than any other named in connection n
with the Presidency.
IL. II elected be will take his seat
1t would be difficult for the most ex
acting critic or the most confirmed
skeptic to find any flaw in this array
of reasons. Taken separately then
truth can hardly be questioned. Taken
together they ought to be conclusive
Two of these reasons are peculiarly
forcible-the sixth and the ninth
That Gen. Hancock S nomination would
unite the Democratic party in New
York cannot be doubted. He would
not only unite it, but he would create
an enthusiasm which would cause all
former differences to be forgotten, and
which would assure the vote of the
State at the November election. To
make New York sure is to make the
election sure so that the nomination
OF Gen. Hancock would be equivalent
to an election.
II is of especial Importance too that
the Democratic candidate shall be one
who cannot be put on the defensive
one in whose character or history
there is no weak point-one who can
not be assailed for any act or speech
calculated to cool the arder or ALLEVIATE
the support of single Democratic
voter. In short, Gen. Hancock seems
to be the only man that entirely iul.
fills all the conditions required in the
choice of Democratic candidate, Let
him be the nominee, and people of the
country will vote for him with the per.
feet assurance that he will be the next
President of the United States.

A MASSACHUSETTS, LIAR.

Mr. George S, Boutwell, has started
an outrage mill on his own account
He says he has "seen poor families
torn from their homes, shot, and their
bodies left for the wild beasts to devour,
simply because their husbands aud
fathers were Republicans
Mr. Boutwell, has seen nothing OF
the kind, except in dreams. Mr.. Bout.
well cannot give the name or residence
Of one poor family that he has seen
thus treated If Ar. Boutwell, will
send TO The Post his affidavit in sup.
port Of his reckless charge, stating the
name and number of members in the
families that he saw driven from their
homes shot, and their bodies lett for
the wild beasts to devour because their
husbands and fathers were Republicans,
we will either prove lin a deliberate
liar and calumniator, or confess that
he tells the truth.
The nearest approach to this sort of
political persecution that has recently
occurred, was the killing OF a negros s
mule in Louisiana, because he--the
negro, not the mule-had voted the
Democratic ticket The logging OF q
Democratic negro on the day after the
recent election in Paris, KY another
instance in point. Boutwell, may have
heard of such crimes. Thousands OF
such have been reported from peace.
ful, law abiding communities, and thou
sands of dollars have been expended in
manufacturing and disseminating this
sort of campaign literature,
For man who has been q Senator
and Cabinet Minister, to get up in a
State Convention and re-hash such
stuff, and add that he has seen it, is
too despieably mean for anybody but
Boutwell,, for anybody but the man
who, when Senator, used his posi-
ton as Chairman OF a Committee, to
squeloh the nomination of cOdifer in
order to grab the place for himself
