FLORIDA.

Mr.. Jewell says he il going to make
Il strong fight for Florida, and claims
that it will go for the Republicans.
Senator Jones, on the contrary says
it is absolutely certain for Gen. Han
cock, and Senator Jones, being Il very
practical person, gives his reasons for
this emphatic and patriotic opinion as
to the state OF things, present and
future in his own particular bailiwick.
The Senator declares it is Il great
popular error that the Northern men
who have settled in that State since
the war are all Republicans in their
sympathies on the contrary he says,
in the main they prefer the Democratic
party. Being nearly all men of
capital or means they are directly in
terested in Il good State Government,
and they know that the Democratic
administration under GOV. Drew is
better than any Republican Stale
has ever been, and hence
they naturally affiliate with the Demo-
cratic party. If thisis true, and there
is no reason to doubt the statement,
then Florida can he certainly counted
on for Hancock in November.

THAT sterling Democratic journal
the Washington Pos, IN Il late issue
shows up new feature in Radical
thieyery, it says: 4" One of the prin-
cipa methods by which this mean
robbery is accomplished, is the publ
cation of documents, ostensibly official,
but really of II partisan character.
These papers are not called for by any
law of Congress, and are not within
the legitimate sphere of duty in any
They are eXtra-Oflicial
to the last degree. The advent of
each successive campaign is sig
nal for the preparation and promul-
CATION of Il deal of this sort of matter.
The persons employed as compilers
are skilled in the manipulation of fig
ures. They know how to suppress
facts that would bc damaging to their
party, and how to put in bold relief,
such cunning combinations of data as
are calculated to damage their oppo-
nents. All this sort of work is the
meanest kind of stealing. 1t is rob
ing Democrats of their money to be
used in aid of the Republican party.
1t is taking the time of clerks and the
cost of paper and printing out of ap-
for Legitimate expenses.
It is as much robbery as if the vaults
were broken open by burglars in the
pay of the Radical campaign commit
zee and the money stolen from the
nublic purse.n

GEN. HANCOCK AND THE CATH
OLICS

About the time the canvass opened,
some Republican papers intimated
That the Catholics would not vote for
Gen. Hancock, because he had some
sort Of connection with the murder of
Mrs. Surratt, who happened to he a
lady OF the Catholic faith. And at Il
subsequent time Republican papers of
The second or third class, intimated
That Gen. Hancock was Il Catholic, or
that Mrs. Hancock, at all events was
catholic, thus making n covert appeal
to Protestant prejudices, (f there is
such a thing, and inadvertently Civ
ing reason why Catholics should vote
FOR Gen. Hancock, if they could he in
duced, (as they cannot, TO consider
mans religious views as Il Qualifica-
tion for great public trust. The in
sincerity Of the thing is manifest.
But some Democratic newspapers
hastencd to deny that Gen. Hancock
was Catholic, and to deny that his
wife was Catholic, and this in u
seml-apologetic tone. 1t is true that
Gen. Hancock, personally, is not II
Catholic, though he comes of Cath
ollie ancestry, and it is no doubt true
Mrs. Hancock is not Il communicate
of the Catholic church, but member
of the Episcopal church.
But what does all this amount to?
Suppose Gen. Hancock was Cath
olic? What then? Would he not
make as good II President as if he was
Il Campbelite, or Episcopalian, or II
Beecherite, or any other sort of re-
ligionist? His religion, politically
speaking, is absolutely an immaterial
fact, and no notice ought ever to have
been taken by the Democratic press, of
these exceedingly inconsistent Repub-
Iican suggestions. We might well
say, in conclusion, that as the great
bulk of the Catholics are staunch
Democrats, it is not the best policy for
party organs to make any apologetic
lenials, especially as it would be very
lif1icult to prove that Catholic, be-
'nuse OF his religion, is not II good |
'itizen, or would not be true TO IA great
public trust.

While the procession celebrating
Memorial Day at MurySNillc was
vending its melancholy way towards
the Graves of some more or less sliPpUS-
ititiOuS Union soldiers in the vicinity,
they passed Il Waysidc inm not far
from town, kept By Il buXom widow.
among the attractions for the enter
tainmcnt Of the passeT--by provided
10y the aforesaid hostess, was hugh
grizzly bear chained to II tree IN the
yard, which intellectual animal was Il
shining proficient in the usual branches
of ursine education, such aS drinking
bottles Of pop and the like, besides
being sometimes rented by the widow
to give cclal 10 an occasional SUNDAY
bull fight.
ON this occasion, however, in- tead of
being imdusri0usIy engaged in diIut-
ing her stock Of tirr-Water to the
standard Mary>yilIe proof, the widow
was discovered weeping bitterly, and
at the same time ornHmenting griZZly's
neck with garands of flowers, which
she arranged upon the savage brute
10y means Of Il long pole.
At this astonishing sight the parade
halted.
"Guess she's gone crazy said the
grand marshal. "TIcllo! Mrs. Jones,
what are you doing chat for"
"Aim'l this Decoration Day"'
snapped the widow through her tears.
"Why, cert replied the orator of
the day, who had been playing "oId
sledgc' with the chaplain all the
way out.
"WelI then, what are you staring
at" This bear ate my poor dear hus-
year decorate his tomb"
And the band struck up the dead
march as the procession moved ON.

GEN. GRANT AGAIN.

The recent book pamphlet of Gen.
J"hn McDonald, of whisky Ring"
noioriIy, and convicted at st. Louis of
frauds against the public revenue, is
startling and sensational in its disclos-
ures against Gen. Grant. IT is II re-
vival Of the old Babcock -"Sylph"-
Joyce scandal Of the ST. Louis whisky
ring, with some new features thrown
in, by way of variety. If John Me
Donald is Lp' be credited, Gen. Grant
was most seriously involved in the
scandulous frauds that disgraccd Bah
cock and degraded him in public esti-
nation, and that convicted Mcdonald
and Others at st. Louis. Mcdonald,
in his charges and detailed eXplana-
tiOns, does not mince matters, but his
direct statements, il true, nncquiv-
Ocally implicatc the cX-Presdcnt in
scandal that was rs shameful to the
participants as ii was mortifying 10
the American people. We say Uhric,
because Mcdonald, convicted of frauds
and evidently embittered against Gen.
Grant, is not u witness to he implicitly
relied upon. We do not think amy in
tellige.t or patriotic people are in any
way anxious to have Gen. Grant--a
man twice President Of the country,
and a leader of its armies--convictcd
in the public estimation of any inn
proper connection with the old Joyce
and Mcdonald ring.
But while Mcdonald may not be en-
tircly trustworthy, yet what he has to
say is made up Of such point and de
tail, that it is not to be passed hy in !
silence, even by Gen. Grant. There is
enough in what he says to raise some
ugly suspicious, to say the least of il,
and enough to require some direct
response from the distinguished cit
izen" against whom these charges and
are directed.

Almost daily tnere arrive by all the
various roads which lead imto Lead
vile Young men who have lelt home
and friends, and with no experience
or money to back them, come here tc
"make living" rs they call it.
Poor, vain deluded youths Not that
there is not ample work here for the
willing, not that those who come here
fail to obtain employmeDt--but, alas
it is not always that which causes the
young men who a week before came
here with hopes brightly burning, to
return home detected and discouraged.
1t is Il fact, which has been proven
again and again, that the majority of
the vast army of young men come to
| I4eadvilIe in the delusion that Il lax
state of society prevails here, which
will enable them to live in romantic
sort of way without working.
Mining! What Il sense of novelty
| the word conveys to an adventurous
Fastener. TO lead the free and easy
life of miner, to sheep in Il log cabin,
to work with II revolver strapped
around your waist, to spend Il couple
of hours each day hunting among the
mountains for the elk and bear and
deer; perchanre 60 through an Indian
ight-and all that sort of thing which
is supposed to make up the life of Il
miner what joyous scenes Of excite
ment the word miner calls up! Alas,
when stern reality presents itself to
the deluded mortal, what tumbling
down of air castles is there, my cOun-
trymen, when the young man finds
what in all the brief years of his eX-
istence he has never found ont, that
il is work-and the hardest Kind of
work at that--which makes thc money
that makes the mare go.
The quick, active workers are those
who make success of it here. The
first ease of II failure by one of those
SO gifted, yet remains to he recorded.
Hunt these mountains high and low
and you can't find worker who has
failed in Leadville.
This is the class of people who,
though they may not have more than
what they have earned by hard labor
when the week is past, see mil
lions within their grasp and who give
YOU their solemn pledge that they will |
strike il in three weeks hence. They
are never discouraged, and take things |

THE THIRD PARTY.

Not very long ago, about the time
Judge Davis was elected to the United
States Senate, somebody said there
were three parties in this country, the
Republican party, the Democratic par
ty, and ---- Judge Davis. And now
the third party has come out right
strong for the Democratic ticket, and
says he will vote for Gen. Hancock
And, seriously speaking, the reasons
that Judge Davis gives, in his very
admirable letter, for his support of
Gen. Hancock, are most excellent and
reasons.

of the opinion that the Democrats will

opinion that the Reverend gentleman
doesn't know anything more about
it than lac did of the Alabama election;
his election representations are not
to bc relied upon, Judging from the
fact that he spouted il over the
country that Alabama would be ear
