II is amusing to those who are acquainted
with Hon. William IL. English to read what
IL said by some newspaper correspondents
about his management of the canvass in In
diana. The correspondent of the New York
Herald, for instance, speaks of how much
money Mr.. English is spending in the can
vass, when, in fact, he knows no more about
IL than =" the King of the Cannibal Islands"
Mr.. English is too old pnd shrewd manager
not to keep such information to himself, and
the result will show the wisdom of his
policy. This much may be said, that no
money from other States has yet been ex.
pended in this State in the Democratic can
vass, which all admit has been very thorough
and satisfactory. II is well known that Mr..
English retained the chairnanship of the
State Central Committee at the earnest re-
quest of those who had a right to he con-
suited, and the gentlemen with whom he is
associated are men of his own selection, and
are in entire accord with him. Mr.. English
is not much of a believer in dress parade,
and may not be a favorite with certain polti.
| cal sponges and dead beats, but he is great
in achieving successful practical results, as
his uniform success in life tcstiies. That IA,
| is doing all that he can for the success of TIL,
Democratic cause in Indiana is quite Ger
tain.-Tho Tsoplc, Indianapolis.

We have taken the pains TO examine
nearly three hundred reports made by the

of the Fortysixth Congress, and in all but
about n dozen cases the reports were adverse
In nearly every instance where the report was
favorable it was 10 reimburse Union officer
for horse lost or for money expended in the
line of his duty. Below is one of the reports,
which we give in full. II is a rather singu-
lar coincidence that Lient. Reene should
have been ordered TO conduct detachment
TO General Garfield, and that by reason of
circumstances beyond his control he should
have expended a sum in excess of $325. II
is 80 near 1929 that the report is decidedly
interesting. II is House Report l04s, and

CAMPAIGN NOTES.

The Arkansas reputation amendment was
defeated by nearly 1000 majority, according
to the latest returns.
The Democrats confidently expect to
beat Frank Hiscock for Congress in the
| Syracuse IN. w district.
The Hon. Hiram Barney, Collector of the
| port of New York under Mr.. Lincoln, has
publicly stated his intention to support and
vote for Gen. Hanrock.
Mr.. Lum, the ex-assistant secretary of the
National Greenback Committee, says he has
documentary evidence to sustain his charge
that Gen. Weavershas sold himself out to the
Republicans, and will at the proper time
make use Of it.
The Chicago Times says " 1t is reported
at Washington that a barrel containing
$3.50 900 has been hooped up in Philadelphia
for the Republicans of Indiana, and that il
will not be tapped until the morning OF elec-
ton"
During the first day of registration in New

The National Fair has thus far been n
grand success. From its very inception the
business men of this city determined to make
it so, and their energy has succeeded, as
energy always will. The parade of last
Tuesday was most creditable, and it had a
tendency to inspire all classes with desire
TO visit tho fair grounds. The success that
has attended..ths enterprise has demonstrated
what The HERALD has always contended for,
that we have here the business men to take
hold of such matter in the proper spirit,
and that we have within ourselves the re-
sources to give such an exhibition as will
Justify the statement that people will be re-
warded for coming any distance TO attend
the fair. The programme mapped cut for th'
coming week is one of decided interest.

WHEN General Walker was appointed Su-
perintendent of the Census every Republican
paper in the country applauded the appoint
ment. He WAS then thoroughly honest.
But now that General Walker says that no
frauds were perpetrated in the South, but
that the census was honestly taken, he
comes in for denunciaton. The Democrats
accepted him because they believed him to
be an honest man. They have not been dis
appointed. The Republicans are disap-
pointed because they wanted man who

Mr.. NJ. Z. HANDY, one OF the most careful

In Cleveland that the appearance OF Conkling, Came

Tho bosses were given to understand very distinctly
that unless something extraordinary was done ohio,
and with II GARFIELD, would I've itrcvocaby lost: In
other words, that General Garfield could not fulnn

help, financial otherwise, from outside. They

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

IT comes with bad grace from Grant to
beltte the services OF Gen. Hancock TO the country
when II universally conceded that he broke the back
bone of the Confederacy at Gettysburg, and thus en-
abled Grant himself 10 gather laures Afterwards.
But then Hancock was guilty OF the unpardonabl'
sin of Democracy, and Of course fell under radica
dIspleasure.

WHEN Hancock was nominated General
Grant said that "no better or safer man
"conld he elected to the Chief Mag,stracy.
Was our ex-Presdent truthful then, or
was he truthful when he said Hancock was
"crazy TO be President ?" Perhaps he can
reconcile these conflicting statements.

Now, what was the occasion for Mr.. Bent

leye that his case has been made Especial,
and that it particularly will DE attended to.
BY this course it is hoped to make the pen
sioners believe that special vigilance is to be

hope that selfinterest will prevail with the

lican ticket. There is one popularity abon'

be sent to voters only. 1t is all trick t.
deceive the pensioner, and after they shal
have voted they will discover that thei
cases have been no further advanced thar
they were before. After the trick shall hay'

be used in all the other States where pension
claimants reside. We do not believe that any
