Our esteemed Republican contempora-
ries are severely criticising the nomina-
ton, by the Democrats, of military can.
didate for President.
But why have not the Democrats as
good right as the Republicans to nomi
nate q military man?
General Hancock fought and spilled his
blood on the side of the government, and
not for the rebellion.
And it should be borne in mind that 90
far for being nominated Is military can
didate, Gen. Hancock is brought forward
A. the true champion of personal rights
and the ascendancy of the civil power
over the military in time of peace.
For two reasons, therefore, the crit
cisms Of our Republican friends do not
hold good.
The Democrats have the same right ~
the Republicans to nominate military
man.

The facts in regard to Mr. Garfield as found
by the committee, are that he agreed with Mr..
Ames to take ten shares of Credit Mobilier stock,
but did NOT pay for the same. Mr. Ames received
the eighty per cent. dividend in bonds and sold
them for ninety seven per cent and also received
the sixty per cent cash dividend, which, together

Garfield by check on the Sergeant-at Arms, and
Mr. Garfield then understood this sum was the
balance OF dividends after paying for the stock.

THE Sun and Press 10 still in trouble
Up to this time it has refused to fly the
names of Conover and Ledwith at the
head of its columns, and the indications
do not look favorable to its doing SO in
hurry. Conover won't come down to
please the few sore heads" and this it is
that hurts But our contemporary might
as well give up struggling. AS men
count fairness among the Republicans,
Conover was Fairly nominated" The
trickery resorted to to secure this result
was only of piece with the same sort of
shenanigan apparent in all Republican
conventions. Besides, the nomination was
made unanimous, and this when done is
ordinarily supposed to condone all antece-
nent improprieties, such as the distribu-
ton of money, promises of Office and the
like, as we'll as to be kind of whitewash-
ing of the candidate himself Under these
circumstances it occurs TO us that the
San and Press is RENTED to one of two
courses-either to kick clean out of the
traces or give the nominee its support.
So far as the Democracy is concerned, 1t
is a matter of perfect Indifference which of
these courses is adopted, though it would
be gratifying if that paper could find it
in its heart to contribute, for the sake of
the State, to the election of the Demo
cratic ticket. Its "new movement" is a
sham, particularly if it expects to use the
name of Governor Drew to give it for
midableness Governor Dre'c supports
the Democratic nominees, both State and
National, and to suppose for moment
that he would sanction the employment
of his name to divide the Democratic
party and elect Conover and Garfield, is,
as the Union properly characterizes it,
san insult for which there is no excuse "
The Sun and Press perhaps thinks that the
Governors political virtue is as pliable as
its own; but it will find in this instance,
as it has in others, that it "reckons with
out its host" The fact is our cotempo
rary is very much like quarrelsome man
in a community who is never satisfied
unless all his neighbors are by the ears
1t has disturbed the serenity of G. the Re
publican camp" and it would like above
all things to introduce anarchy and dis
cord into the ranks of the united and
happy Democracy.

Notice is given that the few CONSERVATIVES who
hold places in the Departments will be dismissed.
Most Of these gentlemen have been bong in the

The argument now used in favor of prescription
is that it is necessary to show that the Republi-

of its enemies. The idea has got abrofd in some
way that Mr.. Hayes, ON his advent 70 power.

conservative gentlemen in all the Departments
He did not. doubt if any other man who has
held the position Of President has ever lnieg1hred

The Baltimore american, staunch
Republican organ, has brought out the
first tabulated statement of the probable
positions of the States in the next cleo
ton. 1t gives it's own party 1872 electoral
votes sure, and the Democrats 1873. The
remaining 100 are put down as doubtful.
These will come from New York, Indiana,
Pennsylvania, California, Connecticut, Or
egon, Nevada and New Jersey. The fact
that Pennsylvania is set down in the
doubtful column is significant. But our
friends, says the Boston Globe, might just
as well cease calling New York, Indiana
and New Jersey doubtful. They will cast
their votes for Hancock and English.

The nomination of Hon. w. d. Blox-
ham for Governor of this State gives en-
tire satisfaction. To say that every body
is pleased, is no exaggeration. Gentle
men of the opposite party accord to him
their confidence, and, in fact, a majority
of them in this section will cast their
votes for him. When we say that, as a
party man be is conservative, we express
a true sentiment. Mr.. Bloxham is emf
nently conservative, and will. if elected,
which is not doubted, he the Governor of
the State and not OF the party. All sec
tions of the State look to him and upon
him as a representative man of the whole
people, and they will not be disappointed.

David Dudley Field sestiGes: Some

g of inquiry formed Of Generals Thomas,
Hancock and Terry. From my obser-
" walton Of General Hancock on that oc-
casion, / know that he has judicial

" Is really the truth, that Hancock is not
" only . soldier, but he is . constitutional

We rather think Mr. Field knows judicial
qualities when he sees them, and then MIR.
Thurman is as reliable an expert upon
craftsmanship rs we have. What General
Hancock's critics really mean when they
say be is not statesman is, that he is not
politician. There is quite difference.
