Speaking OF the mud-throwing propensities
CT the Democratic newspapers, the Cincinnati
Commercial well says; "Should the Presiden-
tial canvass degenerate into one Of personal
abuse of the candidates, the country will have
the Democratic press to thank for it. 1t began
that highly edifying business as soon as the
nomination of General Garfield was made known
to the country, and is disposed to keep it up
without sense or reason
1t is not supposed that the Democratic news
papers will have it all their own way. The prov
ocation to retaliate in kind is strong, but no
benefit to either party can result from it. There
is not an intelligent man in the country will
credit the asperslons Of the character OF either
candidate. He will not, in the face OF the evil
dence already produced, and the fact that he is
poor man, after having been in positions
where he might have accumulated millions, be-
lieve General Garfield to have been dishonest.
Nor will any story dscrediting the military
character OF General Hancock be accepted Is
true. 1t Is probable the absurd pretensions Of
high craftsmanship put forward in his behalf
will be discounted, and the fact that in his ex
perience as military governor in Louisiana and
Texas he bat carried out policy determined
upon by Andrew johnson. with the shaping OF
which he had nothing to do, will lie made to
appear conclusively.
The pertinency OF the campaign will be found
in the discussion OF the records and aims OF the
parties which stand behind the candidates for
Presidents, as we'll as minor Office holders, are
made by parties, and not parties by Presidents
and other holders OF Office. 1t is much more
important to know what ! nd OF Democrats
General Hancock, if elected, will call as his
confidential advisers than what manner OF man
he Is himself. Will they be chosen from the re-
dictionary class, or otherwise? Will Gen. Gar
field be likely TO introduce into his Cabinet and
surround himself with the class of politicians
that gave color and character TO the second
term OF General Grants administration, or will
he choose his confidential advisers from that
class which represents the highest statesman
ship and business capacity OF the party applied
to the actual work Of the government.
These are important considerations, and they
may proftably occupy the attention Of the peo-
pie till November.

At meeting Of the Republican County Com

members were present: A. vanAuken, Chair
man; o. w. Rowland r. l.. Warren, A. b.
Copley and L. S. Russell, who represented E.
s. Harvey, OF Bangor. II was decided to cal
the county delegate convention at Lawrence, on
the 23d of July, INST. A resolution was adopted
to apportion delegates to the several townships
on the basis Of one delegate to every 80 voters
or moiety thereof, as shown by the gubernato-
rial vote OF 1878. The call for such convention
will be found elsewhere In this paper. o. W
Rowland was elected secretary of the commit
tee. No time was fixed for calling the county
nominating convention, but general desire
was expressed TO call it early. 1t will probably
be held some tiae during the third week in
August.

It is safe to say that within month the Dem
ocrats will realize, even il they do not admit 1t,
that the nomination OF G General Hancock was q
serious mistake, and that his defeat Is as GER
tain as was the defeat OF General Mcclellan in
1864, OF Seymour and Gen. Blair in 1868, and OF
Greeley and Ger. Brown IN 1872. For years
the Democrats have wooed the Northern Union
soldier vote, but to this time without success.
With hollow cries of reform" and "retrench-
ment, they have tried to win the Northern in
dependent vote, and at o favorable time nomi-
mated Tilden. But all their efforts have been
in vain.
Now again, after lapse of years, and when
the Southern Democrats deceive themselves
with the thought that their purpose Is forgot
another Union soldier, and hope, by hiding be-
bind Loyalty, to accomplish what they failed to
in former years. The North will not be deceiv-
cd. What would General Hancock a soldier, and
ignorant of political intrigues and wiles, be in
the hands of the men who will naturally be call
ed in to advise and counsel him? They would
be the same men who, when victory perched on
the Northern banners in 1865, stepped to the
front and declared the war and its results
failure. Are these same men now to be trusted
to guide and direct the government they sought,
by the most desperate means, to destroy ?'and
will Northern loyalists vote to elect man for
President exposed to such influences? We
think not
General Hancock made a good record during
the war, for which he is respected by Republ-
cans. General Garfeld's record was as brilliant
II not so long. General Hancock was educated
a soldier, and as such he but did his duty. Gen.
Garfield, though educated scholar, did he not
rise rapidly, through his merits alone, to posi-
ton equal to that of Hancock?
Gen. Garfield is OF the people. He has been
associated with then. all his life, and under
stands their true worth and their needs. Gen.
Hancock was early removed from the people,
and al his life has been connected with military
circles and military methods. In his record as
Governor of Louisiana and Texas, in 1867, we
ese IN assertion OF his opinion in opposition to
hat of his superiors that amounted to nearly
OF orders. We also saw desire
On his part to crush out the infant Republican
party in the Southern States. In every possible
way he toaded 10 the rebel sentiment under
ais command. Union men were hunted down
ind murdered by the Ku-Klux and White
Leaguers without rebuke. and upon General
Grants inauguration Hancock was relieved of
lis command as an impeachment to the execu
non of the reconstruction acts. For his deeds
n 1867 and 1868 the South has nominated him
'or President, and now asks for the support Of
Northern loyalists to elect him. They ask in
vain the defeat OF Hancock is certain.
