The Cincinnati Enquirer says "Gcn. Han
cock presents n life of exceeding purity. The
charge against him is that he is n soldier
a mere soldier, who knows nothing but his
profession. This latter charge Is proved I'M
true by his action at New Orleans in making
the military subordinate to the civil power.
In his letter to the Governor of Texas on the
necessity of civil rule over that of the mill
tary he showed n knowledge of statesman
ship and of constitutional law which, we
have the authority of such men as Judge
Allen q. Thurman for saying, would do no
discrcdt TO the ablest constitutional lawyers
in the Republic. Nominated at Cincinnati
almost by accamation, without q single
charge of undue influence or of dishonor-
able canvass, either ON his part or that of his
friends, Democrat in whom there is no
guile, he is supported by the entire Democ-
racy of the State. His election Is certain,
almost beyond pcradvcmturc, and it will

mocracy to add this to the many States which
will give Hancock and English their electoral

Gen. Garfield has not had time to write
letter accepting the nomination of the Ma
tional Convention of the Independent
Peoples Labor Party" alleged to have been
held in Sharon, Pa, in the latter days of
July. This nomination would give Garfield
an opportunity to say many pretty things
about the dignity and beauty of labor. 1t is
true that this great national convention of
the peoples labor party" held in Sharon
consisted of just six persons. correspon-
dent of the Pittsburg Post says cone was
from Pittsburg, one a silyer-polsh peddler
from Cleveland, colored gentleman from
Wheeling, and three others whose locations
are not known" In imitation of the Three
Tailors of Tooley street, these six tramps re-
solved themselves into National Convention
of the Independent Peoples Labor party,
representing fifteen States of the Union, aud
in the name of the workingmen of the United
States nominated James A. Garfield for Pres
idcnt of the United States. Garfield is los
ing time in delaying to accept this nomination

TnE troubles between the Landlords and
tenants of Ireland seem Ia have broken ont
again violently. Blood has again been shed
by evicted tenants, and as an act of self
preservation the landlords go about wearing
bullet proof clothing. Bloodshea and vio-
lence is to he deprecated under all circum-
stances, but we in this country cannot
realize the desperate straits 10 which the
Irish peasants are driven by the wealthy
land owners. We are convinced of one
thing, however: that the scenes of violence
and assassination will not cease until the
laws are made to fall with equal weight
upon the rich and poor alike, and the ra-
pacty of the wealthy land owners is curbed

Dispatches from Madrid indicate the pur-
pose of the Spanish government to use the
most oppressive and repressive measures to
crush out the last vestige of revolution in
Cuba. No trust is to he reposed in the good
faith of Cubans who have once been identified
with insurrectiOnary movements, but they
are to be sent as fast as caught to various
prisons in Spain, or to penal colonies in
Africa. 1t is not difficult to predict the
effect Of these extreme measures. They have
been tried in the past, and without avaiing
to strengthen the Spanish authority in Cuba,
For the the time being, perhaps, there will
be- peace, but the spirit Of revolution ana
the desire for Liberation from the Spanish
yoke will only be slumberng in the Cuban
mind, and the fires will break out afresh as
soon as the mailed hand is Withdrawn.
Cuba is too near the United States for her
citizens not to have imbibed deeply Of the
spirit OF liberty and self-gOyernment. 1t
may not be in the near future, but the time
will surely come when the Queen Of the An
titles will be emancipated from Spanish thrall.
There is very little now to bind her people
10 allegiance To the throne. Force and the
power of numbers alone does it. The home
government is aware of the fact, and hence il is
proposed to increase the army OF occupation.
As if to throw sop to the United States,
and to bring our people more in accord with
Spanish plans, the dispatches also announce
that as soon as the state of the Island allows
a reduction Of military expenses the Madrid
government intends TO extend to us certain
commercial iayors. They hope to get other
favors in return. But this bait will hardly
take, for reciprOcity with colonial neighbors
has not proved SO satisfactory in the past as
to make us desire repetition. We believe
that the great mass OF our people want TO see
Cuba emancipated, aud controlling her own
affairs in her own way. When the times
are ripe for il she may become State Of the
American Union

yHE CENSUS AND YHE soUTH.

The South cannot please the party of the
bloody shirt any way. That section has
been abused all the while for standing still in
the race of population and development, of
driving away emigration and dwindling in
atrophy and decay; and 10, when the census
returns show that the South is active and

surprising the most favored sections of the
Northwest in filling up its waste places and
developing its resources that IL will gain
rather than lose Congressional representa-
tion and political power as the result of the
enumeration which has just been made and

raise a dismal howl of disgust and indigna-
tion. II is all fraud, they say, although the
Census Office in all its branches is COM
pletely under Republican control. They are
bound to say il is fraud, because the figures
give complete denial to the oft-repeated
assertion that the South Is dead and decay

ton, chiefly from the Northern and Eastern

Wade Hampton was rebel general. He
is n Senator of the United States. Is he, by
reason of his former character, debarred
from striving, in his present capacity, for the
success of the Democratic party in the lresi-
dental election If he is to lie denied free
dom of political opinion and action the Gov
ernment committed wrong in removing his
disabilities. He should have been hanged
or banislcd and his estate contscated. As a
Senator, he has voted and acted like an
honest man and patriot. When, therefore,
he appeals to the Virginians not to sacrifice,
by their internal quarrels, "possessi0n of
the National Government" We interpret him
to mean, what a fair reading of his speech
makes him mean, possession by the Demo-
cratic party-not by "tle rebels or the
" disloyal element" If there are rebels in
this country, in Heavens name let them be
put down; if "disloyal elements exist, let
them be punished. But it is enough to make
II reasonable man forswear moderation to
hear this electioneering clamor over dangers
that are fifteen years passed, and questions
that are forever settled. We take the liberty
of doubling that Senator Hampton ever said,
as reported that the prnci pies of this can
vass " are the same for which Lee and Jack
son fought for four years" We doubt it
because it does not comport with the whole
tenure of his talk and action for the past ten
years, and because it is not true: and down
South, at least, men do not call Wade Hamp-
ton liar. Lee and Jackson fought for the
right OF secession, and, as a connected issue,
for the institution of savery-nOt for Demo-
cratic supremacy, or Southern supremacy,
in the Government. Does any candid man
believe that Wade Hampton or anybody else
maintains these principles to be the issue
now And, if not these what stake has the
South as a section, in this contest that is not
shared by the 5000, 900 and more Democratic
voters of the North We have asked this
question before. Can Republican friends
find it more to the purpose to call up the
ghost of rebellion, and fill the air with n din
about the +" Solid Sontl,' than to come to
the point and tell Just what there is to fear ?
We think they will find this gong beating a
little mon0tonous before the canvass is over.

lr Is very manifest that the sectional
issue" adopted by the managers of Nh.
Gartield's canvass does not find favor in the
eyes Of President Hayes. He spoke at the
Veterans Reunion at Columbus Wednesday,
and his remarks did not correspond with
the views expressed by the Republican
orators at the New York conference, so
called, with regard TO the South. He said,
speaking of that section:
The labor system has been reorganized, material
prosperity is increasing, prcIudices and antago-
nisms have diminished, the passions aud anmosities
Of the subsiding, and the ancient harmony
and concord and patriotic national sentiments are
turning.

of the Southern situation To that of the men
who would revive sectional issues for :
partisan purpose.

TUE Mexican veterans have for years been
rapping at the doors of Congress, asking not
for a favor, but for right. The Democratic
party has invariably voted to pension them.
The Republicans have as invariably voted
against it. Hence it is not surprising that
these old soldiers should declare in favor of
their comrade, Hancock, and the party he
represents.

STIRRING IP SECTIONAL STRIFE.
1t is pitiful to witness the predicament the
Republican papers are in. There is no con-
cert of action except perhaps upon the one
point, to try to elect Garfield and Arthur.
The better class are free to admit that there
is nothing in General lIancocks 5 personal or
military character to attack successfully.
Others have nothing TO say upon this point.
They know that the sense of Justice of the
American people would not for a moment
tolerate the manufacture of charges on such
a score. And so they have no other resort
but to silence. There is nothing to condemn.
They have not the decency to admit that
there is anything to indorse or praise. But
while maintaining studied silence with re-
gard to General Hancock's personal and nil
itary character, they are voluble with in
situations and charges in other directions.
We are told, for example, that this intrepid
soldier, who shed his blood, and who was
willing, if need be, TO lay down his life for
the perpetuity of the Union of the States,
has become the leader of the men against
whom lie fought, and that in accepting the
Democratic nomination lie has accepted the
Southern situation. Coupled with this is
the bold assertion that the results OF the war
| are not accepted, that there is still spirit
| of prescription abroad in the South, and that
| the people of that section are only waiting
| another opportunity to inaugurate n new re-
| bellion. 1t is but another way of Haunting
| the bloody shirt, stirring up sectional strife
anew, and trying to fire the Northern heart.
But it cannot succeed with sensible people.
They will accept General Eancock's senti-
mcnts expressed in his letter of acceptance,
when he said:
The war for the Union was successfully closed more
than fifteen years ago. All classes of our people must
| share alike In the blessings Of the Union, and are
equally concerned In Its perpetuity and in the proper
administration Of public affairs. We In a state Of
profound peace ienceforth let II he our purpose To
cultivate sentiments of friendship, and not OF ami
| mostly among our fellow citizens. our material
Interests. varied and progressive demand our con-
| slant and united Efforts
These are the sentiments of n statesman, ,
but the politicians of the Republican party
refuse to recognize them. Instead OF making
it purpose to cultivate sentiments OF
90 friendship and not of animosity," the poll
| ticians referred to completely reverse that
patriotic idea. While all is peace at the
South Republican politicians are trying to
stir up sectional animosties The thought
ful business people of the North are tired OF
it. They want to extend the hand of friend
ship to all, and to recognize the citizens OF
our common country as brethren. The party
that tries TO stir up hate and bitterness is
not the party to succeed in this campaign,
| l..n.rnl Hanrnrk La. MT and
resentative of the better sentiment, can con-
Gdently appeal to all the people who arr
disgusted with hate and tired of strife.
