From Republican standpoint Gen.
Hancock has shown himself to bo a most
ungenerous and selfish man. They only
had ono bug-bear to urge ngnlnst him,
and TINT was the question OF paying tho
Confederate war dobt and the Southern
claims for property destroyed, including
tho iieolng Of the negro. Upon all other
questions Gen. Hnncocks record was
clear and unoxcoptionablc, and even on
that there was nothing against him, OK
cept the fact that lie had not expressed
himself as to these claims, which gave the
Republicans tho opportunity to charge
him with favoring their payment. Tho
payment of these debts has never been
contemplated by tho South, for our peo-
pie know that having lost tho cause for
which the war was fought, .hoy need
not expect that they will DO paid their
losses in that war, and in f,ct the
expenses of conducting the wnr itself
but 1t would surprise our people
to know how much influence tho charge
that the South expects to mako nn Mt.
tempt to, secure tho payment of these
debts Is having In tho North and West
1t has up TO this timo been tho life of the
Republican canvass, and tho letter of
Gen. Hancock completely explodes 1t at
n critical part of the campaign, and leaves
the Republicans almost nothing to stand
upon. Tho lotter Is plain, positive, une-
quivocal, and cannot leave any doubt
upon tho mind ofany man who believes
in the sincerity Of Gen. Hancock. 1t is
n ajudicious letter, and greatly strengthens
tho prospect Of Democratic success.

On noxt Tuesday week, tho 18th of Oc-

and West Virginia vote for State officers.
West Virglnin will go largely Demo-
cratic, and tho results In the other States
are uncertain, with tho chances favoring
tho Republicans in Ohio, which Is tho
residence OF Mr.. Garfield and where State
pride is expected to and probably will
carry him through. In Indiana both
parties are badly scared, and the election
will not bo great surprise either way
the State goes. If tho Democrats carry

by storm Of applause which lasted lit
orally for five minutes. Bayard grew
red and white, and could do nothing.
He began his speech after thrco rousing
cheers for him had ended the uproar.
He reviewed briefly tho effects OF the
war, said that the young man OF to-day
knew not what our war was, and the old
inan ought to be sensible enough to for
get and burg its bitterness. lie ridi-
culed Conkling's Southern war claim

proclaimed his own faith I'm tho principles
Of tho Union, but also his respect for
State Rights. The money that the South
had collected so far in tho way OF South
ern claims had gone straight into North
ern pockets. Unlike Conkling, Bayard
had something to say for the honesty and
uprightncss Of his candidate, IIancock's
name eliciting another roar of applause.
Bayard's speech was tho great event of
tho campaign. The crowd could not be-

along tho streets for several blocks, and
to crafty the desire OF the thousands
upon thousands who desired to hear
speaking, somo eight or ten stands were

Gen. Garfield has displeased his Democratic
and $50 called independent friends by writ
ing letter Of acceptance which is so plain,
fearless and outspoken that there is no mis-
taking its meaning. Having nothing to con
ceal or cover up under veil of ambiguity,
he speaks in clean-cut sentences and with
simple directncss which he who runs may read
and comprehend, on the leading political is
sues now before the people. His statement
of the great national issue, raised by the Dem
ocrats at the special session of Congress, "tho
right of the nation TO determine the methods
by which its own legislature shall be created, u"
is model of terse and forcible writing, and
his pointed and vigorous declaration Of the
Republican doctrine that every elector shall
be permitted, freely and without intimidation,
to cast his lawful ballot and have it honestly
counted, and that the potency Of his vote
shall not be destroyed by the fraudulent vote
Of any other person." is worthy to become a
rallying cry in the campaign. The Democrats
of the South, and their allies at the North,
may well read with thoughtfulness that portion
of the letter which treats Of the adverse in
Auence of terrorism and lawlessness, coupled
as it is with the incisiye declaration that "the
prosperity which is made possible in the
South by its great advantages Of soil aud eli
mate will never be realized until every voter
can freely and safely support any party he
pleases."
On the important topics of popular educa-
tion the finances, the customs laws, Chinese
immigration, etc, Gen. Garfield writes with
frankness and moderation. His utterance on
civil service reform has been most criticised
by the hypercritical independent faction.
To us it seems, however, that, on this point,
Gen. Garfield has simply sought to avoid max
ing pledges or professions which the expert
ence of the present administration, and the
history of Gen. Grants efforts in this direc-
ton, have shown cannot be fulfilled without
the cordial cooperation Of Congress and the
people. Gen. Garfieds public record for
eighteen years past is the best possible assur-
ance that on this important question he will
both undertake and accomplish all that it is
possible to do The letter will strike the pop
ular chord with the plain people aud will
more than ever convince them that James A.
Garfield was well chosen as the Republican
| standard bearer

How They Feel at Wilmington.



.Hessrs. Edit0rs: The last issue of your
paper gave great satisfaction and was eagerly
sought for and read by men of both political
parties here. You have started out well in
this campaign, and our earnest prayer is that
you will keep it up until the end. The pres
ent is q time when things should be called by
their right names, and political demagogues
be exposed and handled without gloves. The
Windham County Reformer which you very
justly characterize as the DetIner, was start
ed as an independent newspaper, promising
to expose the corruption and venality of all
parties, and by this means secured many sub
scribers who were, and still are, honest and
consistent Republicans. Its almost uniform
course Of conduct has been to paliate, excuse
and cover up the wickedness and wrong doing
of the Democratic party, and to abuse, vilify
and libel the Republican party, and throw
mud aud dirty water, in which it delights to
wallow, at almost every Republican who is at
all prominent or Outspoken in behalf Of re-
publicanism and in condemnation of demo-
cratic wickedness.
AS for q. n. Davenport, ESD, as is well
known, he was n resident of this town from
about 1851 or 1852 until he removed to your
place, aud the people of this town know him
well AS lawyer his abilities are admired,
but rs n politician he is an interruptions dem
faction. Without entering into details, it is
sufficient to say that your Nottingham CORE
spendent of last week hit the nail on the
head, and the sentiments therein expressed
find their echo here in this town. fully
agree that it is important that Republicans
everywhere should support Republican news
papers, and not patronize such an unscrupu-
lous and dirty sheet as the younger Davenport
sends out to be read by our families. Some
men, and women, too, to their shame be il
said, prefer paper which publishes sensa'
tional articles, abuses mankind in general and
everybody in particular, save their own little
self-idolzed circle, to newspaper filed with
articles Astounding in good sound common
sense, and of n character that our wives. and
daughters can read without blushing with
shame at the depravity of man Such people
will, of course, continue TO read the DeJaaer.
but continue in the good work you have al
ready begun, Of exposing the hypocrisy and
demagogism of the Davenports, and to you
will be the reward. RFPUnLIcAN

The greatest rain storm of many years
occurred at Flushing, L. l., last Monday. In
two hours 4. 10 inches of rain fell. The roads
were washed out, trees blown down, the
foundations of houses washed away and crops
destroyed.
On Sunday a boy named Johnston saw a
bear passing through clearing on his faith
er's farm, near Huntsville, Ont, and fired,
wounding it, He then started in pursuit with
the empty gun. The bear turned upon him,
and before assistance could arrive had killed
him and torn his body almost to pieces.
A heavy rain storm at North Adams,
Mass, and vicinity last Saturday flooded the
tunnel to the depth of several feet and caused
q washout at Zoar Station. The water at the
entrance of the tunnel was over four feet
deep, and assistant engineer Locke, with a
wrecking force coming through the tunnel
from North Adams was obliged to construct
raft in order to get out.
There was a brutal fight last Monday
night in the city poor-house Mt Kenosha,
Wis, between Chauncey Schentzler, about 7C
years old, and Samuel Waller, aged so, in
which Waller was so horribly mutilated with g
knife that he will die.
Hannah NJ. Brewer, an unmarried wo
man of Tappan, N. Y, 90 years old, wa,
found dead beside her bed, Tuesday morning
having been outraged and then strangled t.
death. Broken panes of glass showed how
the house was entered, but there is no othel
clew.
A portion of the city of Waterloo, Iowa
was submerged by heavy rain on Sunday
tho pecuniary loss is estimated at $25, 900
| Two boys and girl were drowned.

Ia the Baptist State convention of 1869 a res

investigate the subject. That committee
made n favorable report, and simultaneously
with the great movement in the Baptist de

ings About thirty acres of land were pur-
chased in the village of Saxtous River by Mi
al Davis Of Burlington, j. j. Estey and L. X.
Fuller of Bratiloboro, and laid out for such
buildings as are necessary. This property
consists of a beautiful grove with ample
room for recreation and sports, with large
tract or level plateau overlooking the village
and valley of Saxtons River. On this high
land has been erected a large and commodi-
Gus dormitory for ladies, together with the
necessary recitation rooms. There has also
been erected Proctor Hall for u dining and
reading room, with apartments for servants,
janitors and the like. At recent meeting OF
the board it was voted TO proceed with the
erection of dormiiory for young men, and
later large central building suitable for
class purposes and all the necessary accommO-
dations Of a large school.
The facilities of the school for educational
purposes are really first-class, embracing q
faculty of eight professors and teachers, all
of well known and established reputation.
