GENERAL HANCOCK relies more upon his
order No. 40 than he does upon his war rec
ord to make him president of the United
States. His war record does not please the
south, nor does order No. 40 please the
north. But he is toying with 13s solid
votes from the south won by order No 40,
which he is endeavoring in some way to
initiate 10 1876. Neither his war record nor
his submission to the behests of the con-
federocy can supply this deficiency. Even
Indiana will not save him if he shall secure
it, and that pleasure will be denied him.

THE REPUBLICAN QUARREL,
WHAT THEY SAY.

WHAT THEY SAY.
From the News. Republican.
Post Master Pyle unhesitatingly en-
dorses the action of the County Com
mittee. He says that the State Cen
trail Committee violated both rule ard
precedent in taking the matter of the
election of delegates in this county out
of the County Commit ee's hands. He
further argues since tho State Central
Committee has named no specific
place for holding the Ward elections,
the resolutions under which this ar
rangement is sought to be put upon
this county is valueless. He argues
that the delegates chosen under the
call of the County Committee will be
The only legitimate representatives of
this county in the State Convention,
and some others who think with MIR.
Pyle, insist that under no circum-
stances can those delegates be called
boilers.
James l.. Hawkins insists that fail
ure of the State Central Committee
to name places for holding the elcc
tion in the city was not matter OF
intention but neglect, and from his
remarks some gather that there will be
call of the State Central Committee
to meet and set the matter right.
Henry McMullin, U. $. Marshal, was
for upholding the dignity of the State
Convention and electing delegates in
accordance with the call of Henry
w. Cannon. If the county committee
wanted another set of Delegates, they
could choose them, but they would
not be admitted into the convention.
Robert G. Fraim, Esq, thought it
was a most shameless piece of trick
cry. The mode as proposed by the
State Convention was fair as anything
could possibly be. 1t was the only
means by which tricky political ans
could be prevented from packing the
wards and choosing delegates at their
own sweet pleasure.
