The State Ticket.

The convention at Jefferson City last
week fulfilled its mission, adjourned and
went home confident that it's work
would be endorsed by the usual Demo-
cratic $4,000 majority. So great fol-
lowing might have let the convention
to do its work carelessly and without
that regard to the proprieties enjoined
in the closer States. But under no
circumstances could it have given us
better material for the Offices, and the
ticket will receive hearty and enthu-
siastfc support in every section of the
State. 1t is true, we in the Southeast
think we ought TO have had repre-
sentation on the ticket, but blame our
selves and our delegates that such is
not the case. We had too many aspi-
rants, and too much pickering for unity
of purpose, and so deservedly lost all.
We ackno Wedge our fault and cheer
fully abide it's results.
Thos. Il. Crit tenden for Governor is
the choice Of our heart, and the per-
sonnet Of the remainder of the ticket
could not have been bettered. More
particular notice is not necessary. The
people will greet the ticket in Novem-
Der, with Hancock and English at its
head, with 10000 majority.

Col. Henry B. Hays of Pennsylvania,
who served with distinction in the
Federal army during the late war, was
at one time Secretary of the American
Legation at Copenhagen, and Repub-
lican since the organization of the party
is the latest important accession to the
Hancock ranks. Col. Hays is one of
wealthiest of the bituminous coal oper-
ators, land in times past has contributed
largely of his means to insure Repub-
lican success. He announces now that
he will do still more to aid in Ham
cocks election. A Pittsburgh dispatch
to the Cincinnati Enquirer, says of
Col. Hays:
ellis change Of political faith will have
great effect upon thousands of coal miners,
who have always looked up TO him as a leader
aud guide in matters political.
s'Tne announcement OF his allegiance to
Gen. Hancock fell like chilling ost on the
Republican party here, and as he is q man OF
record and commands the re-
spect of all classes, they have not presumed
to express any opinion in the matter, but are
waiting alphabetically to see who the next
convert will be-"

The Globe Democrat In its issue Of
Monday, has an editorial headed,
Hancock as Traitor" and the ar
ticle makes out fair case of treason
from Republican view against the
man whom we had enormously been
led to believe had fought in the Union
army and been wounded In the service
of his country. What though the pa
triots of the CD. did not shed their
blood in the late unpleasantness, but
staid at home and made money the
while, shall that small circumstance
prevent their being received as the
final arbiiors of treason and patriot
ism? Perish the thought! A cat may
look at king, and a condemned
crooked whiskeyite may attempt to
SANDER even so ilIustrious a general
and patriot as Winfield Scott Han
cock.

What was the Credit MobilIer,

Several correspondents, among them
an esteemed clergyman in a nelghbor-
ing town of New Jersey, have request
ed us to answer this question. They
understand, we suppose, the relations
of Mr.. Garfield to the Credit Moblier;
the broad relations of the Credit Mobil-
Ter to Congress and to the people are
less clear to their minds.
A few years ago the United States
endowed magnificently with its lands
and bonds, and many valuable privi-
leges, a company organized to build the
Union Pacific Railway. When certain
shrewd managers of this concern came
to count up the cost of the work and to
cast up the assets to be applied to it,
they found an enormous balance on
the right side of the book. In order to
absorb this balance and transfer it to
their own pockets, they Immediately
proceeded to form an inside Ring to
build the road They bought an old
Pennsylvania charter called the Cred
it Mobilier, which was admirably
adapted for the swindle in view, and
under that charter name began the ex-
ecution of one of the most remarkable
and successful frauds in history.
AS officers of the Union Pacific, the
members of the Credit Mobilier con-
tracted with themselves for the con-
siruction Of the line, and fixed their
own figures for the work. They thus
stripped the Union Pacific Of every

For Hancock.

The veteran survivors of Massa-
chusetts regiment, which served under
Hancock, have decided to vote for him
to q man.
Gen. Daniel Butterfield, heretofore a
Republican, says he will not only vote
for Hancock, but will do all he can for
his election.
Thos. Donnelly, President of the Sixth
National Bank, of Pittsburg. Pa, here
tofore an ardent Republican, has de-
clared for Hancock.
Col. A. S. Fuller, who was supported
by the Republicans of Fayette county,
Pa. for the Republican nomination for
Congress in 1873, is out for Hancock
and English.
Mr.. Atwater, the Greenback candi-
date for Governor Of Connecticut, says
he shall vote for Hancock, and that the
1000 Greenback voters of that State
will go the same way.
The Milwaukee correspondent of the
Chicago Times says he has been inform
ed upon good authority that ex-Secre-
tary Benjamin F. BristOw has declared
his intention 10 work and vote for Han
cock.
Mr.. Hare, Chairman of the Green
back State Committee of Michigan,
comes out squareIy for Hancock. He
thinks the $1,000 Greenback votes in
that Stale will go to Hancock, which
will make it easy for him to carry that
State.
Col. Geo. Williamson, of Louisiana,
who was minister to Central America
ton for Congress rendered him by the
Repu blicans of his district, and saws
he has made up his mind to support
Hancock.

After the delegates from the Fourth
District arrived at Jefferson City, they
got together and appointed Commit
tee of Conference, which committee
called upon the different delegations
of the counties in the Southeast not
included in this district, asking them
to meet their brethren in caucus, to
determine which of the many candi-
dates could be successfully presented
to the convention. The committee had
it's labors for its pains, and was most
beautifully snubbed by the Smart
Alexis who assume to run Southeast
Missouri. They turned their noses to
the sky, did the s. AS, and asserted
their superiority by refusing to enter
into the caucus with their country
cousins and treating them with super
cilious contempt. Everybody knows
the result: the S. AS were 80 efectual-
ly killed off that we hope when the
next State convention meets there will
be none of them left to mar the pros
poets of our "favorite sons"

thing of value belonging to it, and set
itover to the Credit Mobilier. With one
hand they robbed the treasury Of the
railway company, and with the other
they stuffed the plumber into the treas
ury of the construction Ring, whence 1t
was distributed to the individual con-
spirators in the form Of dividends of
cash, bonds. and stocks.
But the United States, In slight re-
turn for its unexampled bounty, had
taken q first mortgage on the property.
This was inconvenient to the Ring.
Having absorbed everything else, they
now desired TO put q first mortgage on
the road, and take the bonds of that al
so. But that could be done only by
getting rid Of the first mortgage of the
United States; that, again, could be eff
fected only by act of Congress. To sim
ple-minded and honest men this would
seem like a very difficult thing to &C.
complish; to them it appeared easy
enough. They set apart certain
amount of the enormously valuable
stock of the Credit Mobilier-stock
which represented both the plumber of
the past and the plumber of the future
and gave it to Cakes Ames, who
agreed to "place it where it would do
the most good" He was a member of
Congress, and was, not unjustly, sup
posed to know exactly how to employ
it in order t. corrupt the sources of leg
islation. With this corruption fund he
bought the Vice-President, several Sem
ators, and the Chairmen of the leading
committees of the House. Then, by
the votes and influence of these men,
the desired legislation was had, and
new field of pillage was laid open to
the Ring, in which the Government
and the stockholders of the Union Pa
cific were equal sufferers.
1t was not possible that q series of
transactions at once so colossal and SO
Infamous could lie concealed fOreve.
There came day when The Sun spread
this iniquity before its readers in al
most every detail. 1t was the most
shocking revelation of official venaIity
and corruption ever made in the course
Of our history. Investigation followed
and the guilt of The accused members
was clearly ascertained. With q few
they added the crime of
perjury in their testimony before the
to the crime of bribery.
Among others, James A. Gafield was
bribed; swOre that he had not been
bribed; was convicted Of bribery and
perjury by the testimony of Ames and
by documentary evidence of conclusive
character; and the committee, COM
posed of members of his own party, re-
ported him as bride taker and a per- |
jurer.-Sfun.
