1t appears that Mr.. Sherman is conduct
ing the Republican side of the campaign upon
the principle that the Democratic Congress
is to be held severely to account for sins of
omission as well as those of commission
Whercupon a contemporary very well argues
that the gentleman himself is guilty OF the
charge he prefers, in emitting to state many
omissions upon the part ofthe Democrats
For instance he omits mention ofthe fact that
the Democratic Congress has not passed any
salary-grab bills with back pay attachments
1t has not legislated millions of the peoples
money into the pockets of whisky distillcrs
&c. 1t has not voted away all the public
lands and then hypocritically declared against
any further land grants to corporations. Ii
has not developed a District of Columbia
ring, and so on and so on ad nauseun. 1t
will do for the Republicans to make bun
combc speeches to partisan followers, but the
great bulk of the American people will not
suffer their attention to be diverted from the
facts of the case. Gen. Garfield represents
n following whose principles have once al
ready been condemned in 1876. Gen. Han
cock now steps to the front to retrieve by a
peaceable victory the rights of the people

INDIANA AND OHTo.-Until recently The
Republicans have felt confident of carrying
both Indiana and Ohio in October. Now
they regard Indiana as doubtful and are
aware that they must put forth the most dcs-
perate eXertions to carry Ohio by even n
nominal majority. The Republican mana
gers have exhausted their resources in Indi-
ana in useless parades and fireworks, while
the Democrats, acting under the advice of
Mr.. English have remained quiet. The lat
ter in conjunction with Senator Barnum, the
chairman of the national Democratic COM
mittee, has organized system by which
every voter in the State can be reached, and
when the proper time comes all the appli-
anccs of political engineering will be used to
solidify the Democratic vote. The Demo-
Gratis are confident of carrying the State
Mr.. Barnum says Indiana is n Democrat
ic State, and it will not be lost. We will
fight there but once, and that will win"
The Democratic managers have also thor
oughly organized their campaign in Ohio,
with fair prospects of carrying the State, or
at least of reducing the Republican majority
to q merely nominal figure
