National Republican., 1880-07-06
POLITTCiL NOTES,

IT was In July 1868 when General Hancock re-
ceivcd his wound at Gettysburg and when dem
ocratic mob In New York roso In riot and killed
people because Abraham Lincoln had ordered a
dram to get troops to fight the rebels
THr Nation says that General Hancock Is a gal
liant soldier and al honest man, aud is preferable
to General Grant. But 1t adds that General Han
cock is the representative Of the essence of Bona
parism-an element the most threatening and
dangerous to the country,
president HAYES informs us That it was Presi.
dent woolsoy Of Yale college who invented the
presidents southern policy. Most of the woll.in
formed republicans from the southern states who
labored earnestly to secure equal rights and free
ballot for the republicans Of the south d. not on
thuso much over the "Woolscy policy"
GENERAL PRESTON tells his fellow democrats Of
Kentucky, who have been usually supposed to be
of rather rabd type, that he is tired of hearing
them call themselves conservatives they must
adopt the name of the uutcrrifed democracy and
act it out to the letter. "lf any republican" he
says, ever attempts to steal another electoral vote
from you, you will kill him where he stands"
When the party has once been imbued by appeals
like these with the idea of "killing" any republl.
can who tries to steal an electoral vote it will only
be necessary to persuade them tina; some republi.
can is making the attempt.
THR Columbus tGa.) Enquirer continues to carp
at ex-senator Gordon. aud complains that, while
he could not spare three weeks time to serve out
the remainder of the recent session Of congress, he
finds difficulty in going about the state euogiz-
ing Governor Colqutt. The Enquirer says: an
this age sj 0O) salary year is Il large sum. Few
in Georgia make 1t. Did General Gordon ever even
approach II before he became senator? General
Gordon had u right to resign but the people of
Georgia ought to have been considered, and this
was not done, lie gave the Office the legislature
trusted to him TO Governor Colquitt, who used 1t to
reward Ex-Governor ]. f. Brown as personal
gift lie could not wait three weeks for Georgia I;
he has ample hours to clectioneer for so-called
friend, who appointed his traducer as q United
states senator. Whether General Gordon has re-
ceivcd the promised $4,000 salary we do not
know"
THE Characteristic insnccrity of the democrats
Is once more illustrated III the following statement
of the indianapolis JOuHai: we have informa-
ton OH what we regard as trustworthy authority
that a conference has been held in this city be-
tween the Hon. W. II. English, democratic can
didate for vCe-prcsidcnt, aud the Hon. Franklin
Landers, democratic candidate for governor, at
which II was agreed first that the political hatchet
between them should be buried second, that each
should cooperate for the success of the other;
third that both should unite to secure the indorse-
ment by the democracy of this district Of Dr. De La
Matyr for congress, Heretofore Mr. English has
been recognized as n pronounced hardmoney
man. and Mr. Landcrs as on equally pronounced
soft money man. De La MOtyr goes as far beyond
Landors as Landers docs beyond English. De La
Matyr Is more than son.money man. He is q
demagogue of the worst type, an extreme inna-
ZIONIST a loud.mouhed enemy Of capital, an ad-
mirer and ndorscr OF Denis Kearney and little
