II the democrats really believed that General
Grant has only injured himself in his criticism of
Hancock they would not take on so.
When General Hancock looks history in the face
he will conclude that It is not discreet to reply to
General Grant. That gun is spiked by the rat-tail
nle Of public record

indicate the number Of mortgage foreclosures exc
cuted upon the property of poor men by that
modern shylock, W. II. English, the democratic or
gan has found IS necessary to place upon those
figures private Interpretation, but no such
trick can divert attention from the tragedies which
mark the road travelled by the English man In his

THE M'cr-OcsaR has a way OF saying very annoy
Ing thlngs to the democrats Here Is n specimen
"The democratic platform of1SS0 Is the first made
since 1861 that did not express undying devotion to
our soldiers. In 1864 we heartily and earnestly ex-
tend to the soldiers of our army etc. In 1864 1t re-
solved that our soldIcrsand sailors who carried the
flag Of our country to victory must be gratefully
remembered In 1876 it again resolved that the
soldiers and sailors Of the republic and the widows
and orphans Of those who have fulen in battle
have a just claim upon the care, protection and
gratitude Of their fellowcitzens' Just why II hap
pened that in 1880 there should be such an ominous
silence might legitimately be query of some of
the veterans Of whom the party is boasting."
THE republicans of Indiana are making manly
and magnificent struggle They are contcstng
democratic state, striving TO oust the bourbons
from political power in state they have held for
five successive elections, and which as late us 1872
when Greeley was their candidate, they were able
to maintain at the October election. Ordinarily
Indiana may be counted as safe for tn. democrats
as is Michigan for the republicans, and ordinarily
If the republicans should carry Indiana at the Oc-
tobcr election itwould be as indicative ofa change
of public sentiment as If the democrats were to
carry Wisconsin. Stl so BRAY ely and so vigorously
have the republicans labored so cncrgcteally

and precinct, that they deserve victory, even If
they fail to captu re IT, They arc not merely labor
ing as in Ohio, to hold their own retain what they
possess and 10 carry republican state. They are
making an aggre ssvc fight; they are the assailing
partyi they are endeavor!ng to capture q strong
democratic state and while their defeat will leave
them no worse of than they at present or have
been for ten years past the election Of Porter re.
publican for governor will be accepted by the
country as one Of the greatest political victories
aud revolutions which have ever taken place in
the country since the war
