reformed hell very much. Hancock's
military record is really less leaven for
ABOUT the same sized lump and his
failure will be a conspicuous one.
President Hayes says he feels no
anxiety about the success of the Re-
publican Presidential ticket. He be-
lieves that the little enthusiasm
worked up by the Democrats over
Hancock's nomination will wholly
die out before November; that Gar
field will carry Ohio without doubt,
and that Indiana will be carried by
the Republicans, both in October and
November
The Chicago Times (Dem.) does
not enthuse over the nomination of
Hancock. 1t says: "If the party at
Cincinnati had fulfilled its oppor-
tunity it would have chosen for it's
leader a statesman not q soldier.
Therefore it is that the nomination of
General Hancock is mistake, if not
blunder. He is not the man for
leader Of q political party in this or
any other political emergency"
New York Tribune: General
Hancock fought bravely to save the
Union, and to give the slaves the
rights of Freemen; yet General Han
cocks chance of being elected depends
solely upon the suppression of these
freemen's rights in every Southern
State where their votes. would give a
Republican majority. If the negroes
vote as they prefer, that is, if they
vote as every other freeman will vote,
General Hancock can never be Presi-
dent of the United States, not even if
he carry New York, New Jersey, In
diana and Connecticut"
WHAT'S now to become of Fitz
John Porter, since Congress has ad-
journed? What's to become of Spof-
ford, who was led to believe that he
could steal Kellogg's seat in the SEN
ate? What's to become of Curtin,
Donnelly and the other would-be seat
stealers in the House? Will these
worthless all take the stump for the
nominee at Cincinnati, and 90 forth
to tell the people what a terribly
wicked man Gen. Garfield has been
and is? AS the campaign is to be
made one of personal calumny. ma
terial and machinery like that re.
ferred to will of course be largely
utilized by the Democratic leaders,

1t is announced that Senator
Blaine will spend month at the
White Sulphur Springs, in Virginia,
for the benefit of his health, after
which time he will take the stump
for Garfield and Arthur, going wher-
ever he may do the most good until
after the election. Senator Logan has
also announced his determination to
take an active part in the campaign.
There will be no laggards this year.
and if the Democracy hope for success
through disaflection on the part of Re
publicans they will be badly disap-
pointed. In our own State the party
is unit in favor OF the ticket, and the
only question is chow many thousand

Canadian law requires the previous
in church of every
marriage, or license from County
Clerk, and the latter procedure costs
about 81. The consequence is that
numerous couples cross into the
United States to be united. Detroit
clergymen and Justices do great deal
of this business. The Herald of that
city says that half dollar
was the fee formerly, but now
81 is usually demanded. The follow
ing is reported conversation after the
knot has been tied: "Now, So if you
please, remarked the Justice urbanely
to the bridegroom. "I've no money!"
said that individual, turning to his
love; "you pay the gentleman. The
lady turned upon him with fire in her
eye. PAY him yourself No money,
did you say? You've got plenty of
money, and l know it." "Come, now,
Sally, stop that nonsense, and don't
be givin' that gentleman SO much
trouble after he's done so much for

groom continued to insist that he was !
