ssBoots and saddles is the bugle
call of the united aggressive Demo
cracy. No truce with the enemy for
this campaign, but an earnest, united
and resistless~charge all along the
line.
The party that has so long mis-
ruled the nation, must be routed,
the party that sReers at States
Rights, and hires with the peoples
money a host of.political bummers
and partizan strikers, to visit, watch
and supervise the polling places, all
through the land, to ensure partisan
conquest, like Kearney's Chinese,
"must CO." The party that holds
the rights of the States so sacred on
other occasions, that it refuses to
investigate behind the returns of
such petty State officers as Louisi-
ana and Florida PERSISTED in. 1876,
even when it was publicly known
that those returns were based on per-
jury and forgery of the most glazing
type, that party "must go"
The party again, that under its
Civil Rights Bill tried to regulate by
Congress, the conduct of hotel keep
ers and direct what guests they
should entertain, no matter how re-
,ulsive, and thereby not only ever
riding and annulling the authority
of the States, but yer meddling with
the affairs of small municipalities,
"must CO."
The time has come when spite,
malevolence anger and all the bitter
fruits of an ancient war, shall cease
to sway the minds of n section of
our land against the other.
The better class of the Radical
party perceive the truth of what ]
have stated. and are already begin
ming to flock around the Standard OF
Hancock and National Fraternity. 1t
is estimated in Washington that one
half or more of the Grant section
will vote with the Democracyin No
vember next. And this section OF
the party is by far the ablest and
most deserving one. Grant himsel,
asserts his opinion that Hancock
will be elected, which is a quasi pro-
mise Of support in a certain contin-
gency, while many other formidable
leaders like Forney and Mnllet open
tB proclaim their determination to
vote and act with us. Why, the very
man who nominated Hancockat Gin.
cinnati, the learned and eloquent
Dougherty, when last seen by youl
correspondent was making q Rspub
lican speech in the Coopers Institute
New York. That swell duped sneer,'

,fAchiles of the party, is sulki3g il
his tent. His Patroclees has beer
nominated for Vice President, but
so ,odious is he to the a of the
Garfield partisans, that earnest eff
tforts are said to be employed to hay'
This name erased from the ticket. /
these efforts prove successful, Achil
les may desert. On the other hand
if Conkling, Carpenter d Go. cal
succeed in having Garfield displac
ed and Grant substituted, desertiol
Tors third ticket will be the ceurs
of action adopted by their opponents
After a careful survey OF. the field
: I am fully satisfied that with no NOR
than ordinary care aud prudenct
Hancock will be our next Pre-
E sident. But we must not conten

aggressive campaign. Why, alread
the foe is disarmed. Their best an

voters, and for all practicable can

Republican partyis shlrtless, blood

-only hope. II is what the Frenc
