A Mean Fusion Deception.

The Argus had special despatch concern
ing the illumination in this city the other
evening which was worthy of Baron Mum
chausen. In the despatch occuxed the fol-
lowing:
Among the many places brilliantly illum-
mated was the Gospel Banner building, own.
ed by Rev. DR.. Quinby, formerly republican
alderman in this CITY,"
OF course the impression intended to be
given by this is that Rev. DR.. Quinby has
changed his politics and become Hancock
man. 1t is a fraud upon the public and ar
imposition upon DIR. Quinby. The Gospel
Banner Office was not illuminated
but front rooms in the same building
with the Banner Office, occupied by flu
sionists-one of them the late fusion State
binder-were illuminated, and on this il
based the deception practised by the Argus
correspondent. The rest Of the despatch il
nearly as false as this.

Bayard's friends say that Ben Hill had

Governors Island, where General Hancock
resides in the summer time, is now besieged
with mosquitoes and democrats.
The defeat of Hendricks secures the State
of Indiana to the republican ticket, and the
Stase of New York cannot be carried with
out the aid of Tilden's barrel.
Here is touching little tale that the late
SamueLJ Tilden will appreciate: ''Jim,"
said his fond mother, ''aren't you going to
marry that girl that you've been keeping
company with so long?" 'No," replied Jim
in pensive tones, while his brow slowly cor

Col Robert G. Ingersoll said Monday that
he considered Gen. Hancock weaker to-day
than when nominated. and that he would be
weaker three months hence than now. The
democratic ticket was composed of indigo
and copperas, Gen. Hancock representing the
blue. The republican party would fight the
democratic party, not Gen. Hancock, and
they would begin the campaign in Maine and
carry it on successfully until victory reward
ed them in November.
Before the Cincinnati nominations, but af-
ter Tildens withdrawal, the Louisville COur
Ter journal submitted this ticket and pre-
dicted its success:
For President,
A Western man that can win.
For Vice President,
An Eastern man that can help him win.
Which exactly describes the Clarified and
Arthur combination" that will unlock the
front door of the White House, on the 4th
of March next.

The Times says: The ticket nominated
by the democratic convention has fallen
like wave of cold water on the rank and
file of the party. Hancock is, of course,
respectable figure-head; no one disputes
that but he has never been seriously
thought of in connection with the Prcsi-
dency or with a great popular movement.
He may be an estimable gentleman, and
all that sort of thing, but he is not man
who in any sense appeals to the sympa-
thics Of the voters VINO contribute to dem
ocratic majorities. He is not democrat.
All his tendencies are aristocratic and
most exclusive, The peculiar and not al
together agreeable air of the West Point
graduate still clings to him.

The Tribune says; The claim of the
democrats that by nominating a Unior
soldier they have effectually ended the
sectional issue is pure nonsense. The is.
sue of the Solid South is just as evident
with Hancock as with any other man.
When that section permits an honest, fair
ballot. and ceases to deprive absolutely
more than half of its voters of represen-
tation in the electoral college and in Con-
gress. then, and not until then, will the
sectional issue disappear from politics.
