The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1880-07-21
NOTE AND COMMENT.

IT is said Mr.. Geo. w. Childs, of the Phila-
delphia Ledger, will give his vote and influ-
ence to General Hancock. r-r.
ALEXANDER H STEPHENS is willing to accept
a reelection to Congress, and will doubtless
be returned without serious opposition.
GEO. w. WILLIAMS, colored member Of the
Ohio Legislature, has been lecturing against
the exodus of negroes from the South to the
North. E1LII
Mr.. WILLIAMSON, a Republican candidate
for Congress in louisiana, declines and an
nounces his adhesion to General Hancock.
And the cry is still they come.
| THERE are only about 2l,Oo0 Chinese in San
Francisco out of a total population of nearly a
quarter of million. Reports have generally
placed the number much higher. IraIa
GENERAL w. s. RosEcRANs is President of
the "Blue and Gray Hancock LEGION" of San
Francisco. 1t is composed of men who Tough
against each other in the late war.
THE Boston Herald says the Democrats Of
Massachusetts hope to make gains in the Leg
islature, to capture three Congressional Dis
trcts, and TO gain political base for a success
full fight in 1881
GENERAL BUTLER, so his Massachusetts,
friends say, vii soon come out in a letter an
nouncing his support of Hancock and Eng
lish, and he will probably be the regular
Democratic candidate for Governor in 1881.
Ex-CoNGREssMAN SAYLER, of Cincinnati,
says the present "Ohio idee" is TO cast the vote
of the State for Hancock. 1t is not a bad idea,
and the Democracy of every section of the
country will accept II with enthusiastic unan-
Unity. -~
IT is not probable that General Hancock
will resign his Msjor Generals position until
he does so next February to accept the Office of
COMMANDMENT Chief. All the presidents are
against the policy or necessity for his resigna-
ton, and it is not probable that he VIII break
the rule.
Don CAMERON has suddenly recovered his
health. SO soon as he escaped election as
Chairman OF the National Committee, and
found that he would not be compelled to give
five months time and s50,OO0 IN money to a
cause which was hopeless, then he began at
once to recover his wonted health.
1T seems that Mexico has had a fair election
after all, and that no revolution is probable.
In this event Mr.. Hayes would do well to send
some "visiting statesmen" of his party In
order TO learn how, even In the most disturbed
Republic In this world, fair and free election
may be held. 1t will cause him to be ashamed
of himself, but can not surely heighten that
feeling in his breast. pt
| Mr.. MARsHALIs> JEWELL, of Connecticut
Chairman Of the Republican, National Com
mfttee, has been taking lessons from Colonel
New, and is telling every reporter at every
crossroads town that he is just going to carry
the country with a whoop. There is a new in
terview with him every day-all in the same
vein. He viii discover one OF these times that
talk doesn't carry elections any more than 1t
| buys land. ff~r@-nr-.- r. g., ~.
| COLONEL NEW claimed, while tourneying to
the Eastward, that Indiana was sure to vote
Republican. When he comes home he finds
| confronting him alleged canvass OF the
State by his COMMITTEES, the very best results
of which only show him q nominal claim Of
| 1880 majority. The Chairman of the Commit
tee In 1876 claimed the State by 10000 and It
went $500 the other way. This fact draws its
| own inference. A4 NN
THE Republican orgsn-grinders win wake
up one of these mornings and discover that
Mr.. TiIdsn is not . candidate for Preside MT
this year, and then they VIII ind 1t polite to
stop abusing HIM, and discuss the issues OF the
campaign. Mr.. Tilden is very lively sort of
political corpse, II is truei but they have SO
