PRESENT indications in the Indiana

that Harry White will be badly defeat

White, 10,74 Guffy, Democrat, 9,O3l;

that although White had a majority of

1,l61 on the combined vote cast for Cuff

Greenback conventions in four out of
the five counties composing the district
have endorsed Mosgrove as the candidate

The Pittshurg Dispatch 's always dis
( covering something startling and won
/ derful in the political world On Tues
day last il announced that Louis W.
Hall, who at one time represented this
district in the State Senate, but who
now resides in Harrisburg, becoming
disgusted with the machine methods
within the Republican party after the
war, Withdrew from its councils, but has
now ''flopped'' back into the Republican
ranks. Is it possible that the DisDatch
has forgotten the fact that this same
Louis W. Hall was selected by Don
Cameron to run the Cameron-Grant
machine at the Republican State Con-
ventiOn, which met at Harrisburg on
the 4th of February last. and that as
the chairman of that body he ran it ac-
cOrding to the schedule drawn up for
him by Cameron, Quay and Cessna with
firm, steady and skillful hand And
does the Dispatch also forget that when.
in the same convention, Charles ). Wolfe
offered resolution in favor of putting
none but honest men in office, . Hall sat
heavily down upon it-decided that
Wolfe was out of order, and sent the
resolution to packed committee, from
which. as was intended, it never had
any resurrection ? No, Mr. Dispatch,
Louis W. Hall was never disgusted with

IN a recent letter of Gen. Mcclellan
to a Veteran Club in Plainfeld. y. J.
he said ''Gen. Hancock did so much to
insure the success of the war, knew so
! well what it was for, and perceived so
clearly when il was over, that he de-
serves the hearty and enthusiastic sup
poIt of all the old soldiers - How accu-
rately General McClellan's words about
Hancock understanding so clearly when
the war was Over,' describes him as a
military commander at New Orleans
i'll 1861. He was clothed with supreme
authority, but appreciating the fact that
the war had ended more than two yeprs
before, he used it with wisdom, firmness
and moderation, for the good of the peo-
pie and in obedience to. the constitution
of his country. He was the only COM
mander of a Southern Military District
who understood and boldly recognized
the constitutional doctrine of the su-
premacy of the civil over the military
power in time of peace. The man who
announced to the: people of Louisiana
"''' IS->'''i 'i''I Iic IIShI VI IIIdt Dy
jury-the habeas cOrpus-the liberty of
the press-the freedom of speech-the
natural rights of persons, and the rights
Of property must be preserved, " did more
to sustain the true principles of cOnsti-
tutiomal liberty than Garfield has ever
done during his whole eighteen years of
service in Congress. 1t was because
Hancock gave utterance to these and
kindred views that he was speedily re-
moved from his office Time, however,
makes all things even, and the Ameri-
can people will now seize the opportun-
ity to vIndicate the soldier who was not
afraid to proclaim his devotion to the
constitution and laws of his country.

ALrnoraH the Rennblican nress keens

ALTHoUGH the Republican press keeps
upa constant cannonade upon Hancock's
position, every piece it has yet trained
has managed to burst at the first dis
charge, playing fearful havoc with the
gunners. Judge Blacks positive denial
from London that he either wrote or saw
Hancock's order No. 40, or any of his
other orders issued at New Orleans, scat
tered destruction and death along the
whole Republican line. They then load
ed rified cannon with the charge that
after the last Presidential election Han
cock wrote a letter to Gen. Sherman in
which he said that if Congress declared
Tilden elected he (Hancock) would obey
his orders and not the orders of HAYES.
This was pronounced incipient revolution
and treason most foul. But now Gen.
Sherman, who was at jamestown, Da-
kota Territory, on Wednesday of last
week, emphatically states that he has no
recollection of ever having received any
such letter from Gen. Hancock. In a
conversation the other day Hancock said:
II have never written anything in my
life of which l am ashamed, - and even
if be had written to Gen. Sherman what
the Republican press imputed to him, it
would have been sound doctrine in the
absence of the passage of the act estab-
fishing the Electoral Commission. The
--latest charge against Hancock is that
while he was stationed at New Orleans
he one day invited Gen. Beauregard to
dine with him-that before doing so
Beauregard insisted that Hancock should
take down his headquarters flag, and
that Hancock, to avoid offending him,
complied with his request. Beauregard
declares there is not one word of truth
in the story. and that he was never in
vited to dine with General Hancock. \
man who would charge a soldier like
Hancock with hauling down the Ameri-
can flag, at the dictation of an ex-rebel
officer, hasn't brains enough to know
when to come in out of the rain.

THE Herald Of this place last week
proclaimed its own shame by publishing
the forged dispatch to General Hancock
from John, Archbishop, " of New York.
The Herald knew two weeks ago, if it
knows anything, which is questionable.
that Cardinal M'Closkey had pronounced
the dispatch to be base forgery. An
editor who will knowingly and deliber
ately circulate through the columns of
his paper forged document, may fiatter
himself that he has performed remark
able journalistic feat, but his own pa.
irons, when they find it out, will esti-
