THE CHIEF

The argument on which the Republi
cans lay their chief stress in this cam
paign is ''the solid South" They claim
that the election Of General Hancock,
who rendered the most important SER
vice to the country in the war, and was
n of the most conspicuous officers in
the Union army, will reinstate the South
ern C~onfederacy he fought to crush, de-
stroy the Government he fought and bled
to perpetuate, food the country with
war claims the Constitution makes it i'm.
possible to pay, and inaugurate Bedlam.
With just as much reason might it have
been urged in 1890 that the election of
Washington would destroy our national
independence ard force the States of the
new Republic back into the condition of
colonies under the British crown. With
just as much reason might it have been
urged in 1882 that the election of Jack
son would be a victory of the nullitica-
tion he had crushed, and would place the
capital of the country in possession Of the
British troops. Hancock was one of the
bravest and most efficient Union officers
during the war. He opposed secession
in the first speech Of his life. His whole
manhood has been given to the service of
his country, in fighting the Indians. in
the brilliant campaign against Mexico,
in putting down the rebellion, and in
maintaining the Constitution and civil
authorities since the war. That he is
the choice Of the Southern States, which
General Grant has declared loyal and
peaceful and patriotic, is certainly an
argument in his favor, and is an add.
tional proof of their good sense. That
he is q Democrat certainly ought not to
weigh against him one moment with a
party which nominated General Grant
for President in 1868, when he had
been q Democrat all his life, and it was
feared by Republican leaders that the
Democrats would nominate him first.
Considering the facts in the case the chief
Republican argument against General
Hancock and his supporters is not only
groundless but absurd. And it is not
strange that sensible Republicans throw
it out of the account as worthless.

A CORRECT ANSWER.

The New York Mining News of the
10th, in answer to q correspondent, very
correctly says why is it" asks a cor
respondent, that parties who pretend to
have really valuable mines are so anxious
to sell them at mere nominal iguresf"
This question is easily answered without
going beyond the realm of any mans un-
derstanding. The prospector is always a
poor man. As o as he has discovered
q valuable claim and uncovered it q few
feet, the expensive part of the work be-
gins. Few shafts will turn out ore
enough to pay the expense of sinking
and ~timbering, and no miner who knows
his buainess will undertake to drift or
stope before he has reached a depth Of
from fifty to one hundred feet. Being
destitute of money, and knowing that
unless the ore is of more than ordinary
richness, and the vein very wide, he will
not be able to sink the shaft without as
s~istance, the discoverer offers his prospect,
or q large interest in it, for sale 10 the
first man who will take it a at reasonable
price. Unless the purchaser is familiar
with mining he never thinks Of the fact
That the shaft must be timbered from top
to bottom at heavy expense. At the
depth of one hundred feet or less, hoist
ing works Of some description must be
erected, and something more than man
power used in hoisting out the earth or
rock. All these improvements cost
money, and until the mineis well opened,
which will not be before a depth of three
hundred feet has been attained, no large
profits need be looked for. Every pros.
pector knows these facts, and for this
reason, if destitute Of means, he proceeds
to sell his claim. BY this means capital
comes into possession of all the best
mines in the country. Simply because it
has the power which the prospector has
not. and without which few mines can be
put upon . paying basis.

THE TICKET FOR L4BORYNG MEY.

Tho National Labor Convention, which met
ot Sharon. PENN, on Thursday made new
departure IN workingmen's politics. 1t put
forth no platform, but limited Itself to the
question of the best candidates for laboring
men 10 support for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency of the United States II seems to
have been body of some Importance,
for ffteen States we've represented.
ballot was taken for President, with
the following result: Garfield, 125; Hancock
"a; Weaver, 20. Afterward Garfeld's nomI-
nation was made unanimous, and General
Arthur was nominated by reclamation for
Vice-Presidcnt.
The workingmen showed good sense in pre-
ferring the Ohio farmer, who has won his way
from the carpenters bench and the t0w-path
10 the Senate over the regular Army officer.
There can be no doubt which candidate feels
the grea er sympathy with honest labor and
will be the more likely to study the interests
of the tOiIng massesi il elected President. The
Convention did we'll too, in rejecting the
Grcenback nominees, Weaver and Chambers,
two talkatiye lawyers and small politicians,
who probably never did days hard work IN
their lives. The small vote given for Weaver
is n hopeful indication. Ii shows that the
workingmen are getting their eyes open to
the folly OF the cheap money theory, with
which they have been deluded so long.

AUTUMN DAYS IN JULY.

The fckleness Of our climate, with its quick sue
cesslon of debihtatIng languors and unexpected
chis is one of our standard grievances and yet
would not be altogether irrational to rest from
compainings now and then long enough to admit
that we endure many agreeable changes. We might
90 further and acknowledge that change of any
kind Is preferable to m0DotOny. Persons who
have lived where the Same winds blow every day
for six months at time. and where the mercury is
absolutely stationary, or at best, adventures slowly
bnt few degrees above or below the temper
ature mark soon discover that these invara BILE
ditions, however pleasant at first, grow tiresome
and depressing 1t is fact that In many regions
which boast of an equable temperature and climate
the percentage Of the insane is larger than the aver
age elsewhere. and wo can readily believe
that mental health and elasticity arc not pro-
noted by q tedious and wearsome prospect Of
over recurring to-morrows which are to be but
rspetitions of monotonous to-days and yesterdays,
and which arc sure TO bring only ono kind Of
weather to talk about.

rule the party MS it likes. because it can de-
stroy it when it pleases.
1t is not TO the interest of this country 10
fake ND a sectional policy in respect to taxa
alton. and to abandon the national policy un-
der which production has been vastly lncreaseu
in all sections, industry vastly developed Ia
Dor vastly better employed and paid than ever
before, wealth vastly increased, and specie re-
sumption accomplished. Every one knows that
the large revenue which the present system OF
taxation yields has been absolutely necessary
TO resumption and to that Improvement OF the
public credit which made resumption possible
Is it good sense, at this time, when the emu
has barely been reached, and when the sacrl-
fees of many years are just beginning TO bear
fruit in glorious prosperity, to cut away any
essential part of the system by which that re-
suit has been galnedR No man can yet say
whether resumption could be maintained a
single year without the large revenue now Sc
cured. or without the check now put upon
excessive imports. Less than three months
ago it was generally feared that specie would
soon be drained from the country IN vast

ports. Yet at that very time Democrats III
Congress were trying to cut of the duties on
imported goods and the taxes on tobacco
and to raise the duties on hemp, tobacco ana
sugar imported
This sectional policy. if adopted, would
probably put an end to specie payments very
quickly, aud plunge the country into greater
distress than was seen before resumption was
reached. Yet it is the policy from which the
Democratic party caHnDt escape because 1t IS
essentially the Southern policy. Is 1t worth
while to risk all the prosperity we have
gained by making a change in that dlrec-
ton Would it not be the part OF good
sense for practical business men, whether Free
Traders or Protectionists in opinion. to unite
in the decision that the foundations OF re-
sumption shall not yet be torn away ana
that when the country wants a change at all
it shall not change to sectional system OF
