POLITICAL POINTS.

Springfield Republican,: The Indspend-
ent Prohibition movement in Maine is
growing in Importance, and seriously
threatens Republican success in the State
election. The straight Republicans have at
tempted to pack the Prohibitory conven-
tions, driving that faction still further out
of the party.
Hon. Joshua Nye Prob.): IT em still a
Republican. We claim that We are the true
Republican party of Maine and that the
machine has gone outside to trade and dick
er for votes, offering, besides money, that
which no man or party can afford to part
with principle and respect for the law"
Ellenville IN. ~ Herald: When stall
wart Republican is driven into his hole In o
political argument, he tries to cover his re
treat by bawling out: eff Gen. Hancock is
elected the Democrats will pay the whole
confederate war debt" This is the boshi-
est Of all bosh. The constitution of the
United States prohibits it. So does the
constitution of each and every one
of the Southern States. If this were not
the case, the debt is about all held in
Europe, was taken con spec.," and Southern
tax payers have no desire to burden them
selves with taxes to feed European capitalists,
who took the war securities at avaricious
rates. The confederate debt is now good
deal deader than the ssthird term"
Newton (Mass.) Republican,: The Gar
field organs will please take notice that we
shall continue to speak our mind as freely in
the future aa we have in the past, in accor-
dance with our honest convictions. All the
epithets that may be hurled at us will never
frighten US into believing it our duty to
stand up and attempt to deceive our readers
by declaring that the Republican candidate
is honest and deserving the support of voters
who desire honesty government, when we
don't believe anything of the kind. II this
shows ignorance. the organs above named
can make the most of 1t. = y
= Strenuous efforts have been made
to discover black spot on the record Of
Gen. Hancock, but all such attemps have
proved unsuccessful. For his services in
the field, the country owes him q debt Of
gratitude. AS statesman, his qualifications
are beyond dispute. AS an honest man, his
record bears witness, and as such he stands
unchallenged before the world; and we be-
ieve his election would rebound to the cred
1t, prosperity and happiness of the people,
while Garfeld's election would prove ma
tional disaster.
Hon. John G. Campbell, delegate from
Arizona, is in the East, having just come
from visit to California. Is states that
the greatest enthusiasm prevails there for
Hancock; that the current has strongly set
in in his favor. The independent element
and those Republicans who are sick of ring
rule and the corruption, which, to such an
alarming extent, permeates nearly all de-
partments of the public service, are declar-
ing for Hancock. The Republican leaders,
becoming alarmed at this condition Of
things, and the increasing enthusiasm for
Hancock that was everywhere apparent
throughout the State, procured the services
of Carl Schurz and Secretary Thompson,
with the hope of stemming the tide, but
without success. Judge Campbell says the
State is as certain to cast her electoral vote
for Gen. Hancock as is either Missouri or
Kentucky.
