boom before he gets in his lottcr Of acceptance
and tho campaign fairly begins, leaving nothing
for the republicans 10 antagonize by October
WHAT has become Of that person named Ent-
wright and General Grants hearty Endorsement Of
Hancock Is Entwrlghta myth, and was that gross
Misrepresentation of fact coined at the democratic
lie mill here2 Who will answer? Somebody must
know.
"THE Fredericksburg (Va.) S1r snys yauntingly
Tho conservatives have nailed their colors to the
mast, where they will remain until the going down
of the sun on Tuesday November ." But viii
the nsils hold7 That's the important question.
GENERAL EwINe Gays tho charges against Gar
field are too absurd to be regarded for moment
by any thinking man; that he (Ewing) was en-
trcly posted about tho matter This from prom
inent democrat, and yet the mud.slngng organ IN
this city daily prints a column or more OF the mon
dacious filth.
TnE Richmond Commonwealth issues its war
manifesto against tho rcadusicrs In tho following
vounting terms: THE cam paign will soon open
In earnest aud expect to II carried OH by our
party in Virginia with vigor and enthusiasm. We
have no fear Of Boss Mahoncs little sldeshow,
which .has an underground road to the Car
field circus"
DIsGusrED and discouraged by their failure to In.
torcs the public IN their exploded and stale
charges against General Garfield Of years gone by,
In the facc of which he has been reelected TO con-
gress and elected to the United States senate, the
democrats now have detectives and spies on his
trail To see irthcy cannot discover something tor
rblo Of a more recent date.
THE republicans Of North Carolina nro in the
field full Of heart and pluck. They are there for
fair play, honest suffrage or ilght. They will
submit TO 10 degree OF bulldoaing or false count
ing. They have enlisted for the campaign and
propose to lead the democracy lively dance. The
republican, state committee meets GtRaloigh on the
22d for organization and vigorous opening Of the
campaign. The democrats will have no w0lkovcr
in North Carolina this fall.
| EX-SENAToH FENToN of New York is a sagaCious
politician, a shrcwd observer aud man Of con-
seryatyo Judgment. He is said to have expressed
confidence that tho republicans can carry New
| York this fall. and expresses tho belief that the
| fact VIII become apparent before tho canvass is
half over While he expresses the purpose OF TAX
ing an active part in tho campalgn. he thus early
| declines to make the canvass for United states
senator for the reason that his private interests
| forbid II.
| HERE and there a brovot democrat demands a
change of administration. Not because the demo-
cratic party is any better than before, during
or has been since the rebellion in the solid SOUTH
but for the reason that having failed TO secure per-
sonal ACKNOWLEDGMENT TO ambitions brim from
the republican party, change may open a new
avenue to hope and prospect. 1t is those who orc
| hungcrlng for the i've lorves and two fishes who
arc now so fierce for n change Of the ndmins,ra.
ton Of the government from the republican to the
democratic side. They lose sight of principle and
| history and arc mady bowling for u change.
| Hon. ALEXANDER FERGUSON Of Cincinnati hns
thrown off the gray uniform aud come ont for Gar
! field. lie has long been known as one of the
| abcst lawyers in that city, and an active and
| influential democrat of the ultra sort TO him
| perhaps, more than to amy other man, Is due tho
successful completion of the Cincinnati southern
| railroad. He was member of the Ohio senate al
the same time General Garfield was. When ques-
toned as to his reasons for refusing to support
Hancock he indicated his belief that General Gar
field was more competent TO shape the policy o
the government for the next four years than Tho
democratic candidate.
| THE New York World IL rather rough on gans
of democrats who went out on n barge excursion
from that city last Sunday, got into lively shind,
and behaved in highly democratic manner Tht
| World became irate and denounced them a.
'pirues." 1t says also that e. they should have

JFnE BLACK has written q letter under date o
Paris, June IS, in which he says of General Gar
leld II have been his devoted friend for man,
years, and am resolved that mover will bcliev
that he does not deserve tho affection have be
slowed upon him. II he would carry the princi
pies which regulate his private life into his publ
ha bost nI,i iof
we have ever had" OF course Mr.. Black does no
like the republican party or its principles, an,
hence expresses doubt about his being able to rs
above tho plane of his party in his public life
As the democrats generally arc making their wa
upon General Garileds private and ofllcallife, MI
Blacks hearty defense of that serves good pun
pose among candid mon.
