Room For All.

The Republican journals still insist
that Senator Hampton told the Virgin
ians that Hancock's principles are the
same Us those for which Lee and jackson
fought. We do not see why they should
so jOyfully cackle over this declaration
of Hampton's, even il he said it, for it
would only prove him to be 4 fool and
they are interested just now in proving
that of Hancock, not Hampton. AS
HamptOn's declaration cannot possibly
he true, even though he said it and were
twenty times a senator, what boots it to
the issue whether he said it or not? If
Hampton said that Lee and Jackson, if
alive, would vote for Hancock, he said
whist nobody will dispute. We expect
every rebel to vote for him to show his
thorough reconstruction and why should
not the clliefest of them all he welcomed?
The only test of fealty to the Democratic
party now is devotion to Hancock s
election. We will take anybody in
who accepts our candidate and
platform without reference to his
previous political condition. We are
taking Colonel Forney in and thou
sands upon thousands of old Repub-
licans like him. The doors are open. We
are not inquiring rs to the motive which
brings them to us. Weassume that they
are good citizens doing their best, ac-
cording to their intelligence, to discharge
their duty and exercise their suffrage.
Colonel Forney is primarily moved to
Hancock, we believe, because he saved
Philadelphia from the invading rebels
and freed Pennsylvania. We could hard
ly expect that this would he the motive
controlling General Lee if he was alive,
or influencing to him the nearly unani-
nous support of the former rebels. They
will vote for him because he believes in
the Democratic principles in which they
believe, and because they know him to
be stout defender of the constitution in
which he has faith. The principles which
he sustains are the principles which Lee
and Jackson believed in, because they
were Democratic principles and they
were Democrats. But he did not believe
in the right of secession as remedy for
national evils, and every man of ordinary
sense knows that whatever Senator
Hampton said, he did not say that Han
cock was a SecessiOnist.

MINOR TOPICS.
EMERSON has said that every institu-
tion is but the heightened shadow of some
great man."
Mr.. MAST is not allowed the first page
in Harper's Weekly this week, but he gets
his work in elsewhere, picturing General
Hancock as handsomely holding the Dem
ocratic fort.
r. r. BOwKER, writing in the Atlantic
Monthly, says eve want a vigorous pro-
testantism in our politics. "a new reforma-
tion, appealing from crceds that mean
nothing in practice to the individual con-
science Of right or wrong a new emanci-
patton from the hierarchy of Office-holders
and the slavocracy of party whips"
ALREADY the Republican managers in
California concede the electoral vote of
that state to Hancock and English, and
special advices published in SO reputable
Republican newspaper as the Philadel-
phia Telegraph say the outlook in that
state is extremely discouragins for the
Republicans in every respect save that of
securing a majority Of the Legislature
which elects a senator to succeed Booth,
Independent Republican. To the latter
end the Republican managers will bend all
their energies. The Hancock boom there
has assumed such large proportions that the
party managers ON the other side despair
of turning the tide and will be satisfied to
retain the fragments Of the anticipated
general wreck. The holding over senator,
Mr.. Farley, is Democrat, whose term
willnot expire until 1885. California may
safely be added to the list Of Democratic
states, and Oregon looks very much the
same way. If this thing keeps Oh 4 mo-
ton to "make it unanimous" will bc in
order.
Hon. j. w. KILLINaER, of Lebanon,
who refused to vote for Garfield for speak,
er of the House, declines being car
didate for reelection to Congress,
and says in an explanatory letter g:
"Strange as it may seem to some per-
sons, Lhave had a surfeit Of public life, and
latterly its cares and cxactions have be-
come irksome and distasteful to me. ="
He says "Dauphin county has claims to
tho Republican nomination this year that
could not he overlooked" but is surprised
to learn that Mr.. Barr was designated as
the candidate" After denying certain ac-
cusations made against him by Barr which
Mr.. Killinger says were "entirely destitute
Of truth, he adds: g think that it will he
right and proper to accede to the claims of
Dauphin county without controversy. At
the same time, we think our prospective
candidate should keep a civil tongue in his
head and observe the proprieties of the
OCCASION" 1t is interesting to note that
Killinger had not quite made up his mind
to decline until after the CamerOns had
captured two counties out Of three in the
district for their man Barr.
