The Philadelphia Press Rep.) says
that ex-senator Conoyer, d candidate for
Governor, is load on the Republicans of
Florida, and that he *should be eliminated
from the campaign"
/ The Boston Post says: +" General Gar
field is in one respect the most unfortu-
nate of candidates. Of all the serious
charges brought against him in relation to
his public life, not one originated with
with the Democrats. They were preferred
his own Congressional associates, his own
constituents and his own party friends"
Gen. E. G. Marshall, prominent Re-
publican of Pennsylvania, has hoisted
the Hancock flag. He says: "I have
known him for lifetime, having been
with him as a young man in the U.
S.sInfantry, and from his boyhood to the
present time have never known q man
more pure than General Winfield Scott
Hancock"
The Utica IN. " O6server has this
to say of the Republican stampede to the
Democratic ranks: ''The great mass of the
Republican party are lukewarm or worse.
Not few are openly hostile to Garfield.
We shall print list of Utica Republican
signatures to Democrntic roll in few
days which will pleasantly astonish our
Democratic readers. What is true of
this locality is true of the whole North.
The tide is everywhere setting strongly
in our favor. 1t will not reach its full
until election"
The Philadelphia 7snaes, in comment
ing on Garfeld's letter Of acceptance,
says: CAS- to the policy of Garfield
administration the country is quite as
much in the dark as ever The letter is
therefore great disappointment. The
passing tribute of glance is all that it
can claim. There are in it no thoughts
that breathe, no words that burn, to hold
the attention or command conviction. 1t
will not revive dropping campaign; it
will not make converts; it will not recall
deserters it will.be simply read and for
gotten. s
The facts stated in this paragraph
from the Pittsburgh Post arc full Of sig
ni6cance: 1--WE have not Aoticed hang
ing around the corners the old set of Re-
publicans who kept their pocket-books
out bantering Democrats to bet on the
election. They don't appeaf to have any
heart or change to invest in this cam
paign, which is fair indication they have
no confidence in the result. We do hear
of some pretty sick chaps who bet in
Ohio on the election of Garfield, and have
since been in Pennsylvania and finding
the tide running one way would like to
hedge" i2fsa
The Springfield Republican supports
Garfield, but it declares thatit is not an
unfair Judgment Of Garfield to say that
he is Spotted" tainted y seriously
compromised" }" DC, for these are histori-
ical facts His reputation can never be
as clean as it would have been but for
these things-neyer can stald with that
of Hancock. This may be- terrible, it
may be unjust, but it is the injustice of
that Nemesis which every public life must
confront, and which, in obedience 70 the
law Of human nature, ranks the suspected
and accused below the unsuspected and
the stainless"
There is no doubt but very many
of the friends of General Grant are in their
hearts for General Hancock. The New
York Herald, in alluding to The snbject,
says; When Grant Republicans are
asked why they desire the dsbsat Of their
own party they cay thst thsy Nish TO
show the country that I Presidential can-
didate can come from some other Slate
than Ohio; that Ohio polfticisns are
namby-pamby, soft and cheap; thar Ohio
politicians are narrow, ostenkatious, and
not huriy y-burly good fsllcws,and thst If
Hancock should Be elected shers uould1
be enough Ohio men to retirs from pfIioe
TO give Ohio . respectable poaition in the
census report ,ia.l Il
