stones and marbles are perhaps the best
in this respect. But even they are injured

New York and Indiana are the battlefields
of this campaign. and from all quarters Of
those states come the most cheering &C
counts of the republican prospects. The
party is united, active, confident, and the
democrats are neither.
The republican committee of Miss iss ippi
have issued an address to the republican
voters of that state, calling upon them to
organize. in order to bring out a full
vote and thereby test the sincerity of the
democratic declaration for IL free ballot
and fair count.
lie serves his party best who serves
his country best" said President Hayes in
his inaugural address. Even the most stall
wart republicans who condemned him be-
cause he left the south to her responsibility
now admit that his administration has
proved the truth of his words.
w. w. Hicks, superintendent of public
instruction under the republican admins
tration in Florida, says the republicans
can and will carry the state by two thou
sand majority. He also says that the re-
publicans will be able to compel a fair
count so that the electoral vote of the state
will be cast for Garfield and Arthur.
1t is reported in New York that Gen
Hancock has declined an invitation to
dine with John Kelly The Evening Post
suggests that there may not be any politi-
cal significance in the declnation even if
ii occurred, "since Gen. Hancock may
for purely personal reasons prefer the
dinners which he gets on Governors
Island" And then, after that cruel slur
upon Kelly's cuisine, the Evening Post
adds: However it may be in the mat
ter of Gen. Hancock's dinner, there is
no doubt that the Tammany crowd is
already seriously disturbed about its
own"

would be elected without the formllity oil
a ballot in November. But | learn in very
well Informed political circles here that
the prospects were never better of carry
ing even the strongest of democratic
strongholds for the republican nominee
1t has become evident long since that
Tildeu's friends in New York are indifler-
ent or apat hetic. The democrats having
abandoned the fraud Issue, the contest
ceased to be interesting to Mr.. Tiden aud
his supporters. The party will have to
fight its battles virtually without the strong
support which the name and money oil
Mr.. Tilden would have given it. This
will, of course, weaken them in a great
and indispensable state. Mr.. English
unpopularity, at one time local or, at least
confined to Indiana, has rapidly assumed
national proportions. Moreover, voters
are becoming educated to the fact that
parties mean something more than candl'
dates in this country. We do not, as in
France and England, confer highest hon
ors on our leading statesmen. Our Gam
bettas and Gladstones are not promoted to
executive office. Our history shows that
we, whether wisely or unwisely, trust the
common sense of all rather than the gen.
ius of one. Our really distinguished
statesmen who have filled the presidential
office may be counted on the fingers of one
hand.
In this view the popularity that attaches
to distinguished soldier cannot be taken
as an omen of success. Eminent rs may
have been his military services, he is
obscured now by the motley host thai is
pressing around him, and making an
instrument of him for the accomplishment
of the darkest plots that have ever black
ened history. If it were General Hancock
alone there would be little objection to
him, but who will venture to turn back
the dial for twenty years by electing the
democratic party! There is no voter SO
young that he has not seen something Of
the history of the last twenty years. And
will those who would not trust an ex-
convict with their purse turn over this
government, with all its precious present
and prospective interests, to the conspira-
tors and assassins who sought its destruc,
ton?
1t is to be feared that our miraculous
recuperative energy, favored by rain and
sunshine. has made US happy, proud and
forgetful of the deadly perils we have so
recently passed, and blinded ms to the
imminent fact that thousands Of Catalines
are conspiring to seize the republic.
