National Republican., 1880-11-05

ORDER No. 10 is no longer political
classic.
TIE third day at Gettysburg did the
business.
THE battle of Gettysburg as a campaign
issue is played out.
TUESDAY was more than n field day it
was a GARFIELD day.
-
GARcELoN is not a candidate for seat
in GARFIELD's cabinet
BLACKBURN as wiper will hereafter do
business on n smaller scale.
FRANK JONES heavy outlay in New
Hampshire laid out FRANK JONES,
THE democratic ROSTERS have postponed
their crow on account of the epizootic.
WINFIELD is a political wind-fall; in
good Seasons such fruit does not pay for
barreling.
HANCOCK carried 3 northern states and
lacked 30 electoral votes; 3-29 This is q
good thing to chalk up.
-
THE president named 25th of November
as a day of thanksgiving, but the people
have anticipated by a few days
THE experiment is not to be tried Of
spelling good general to make poor
president, and the country rejoices.
HANCOCK salve will not cure sore heads.
1t has been fully tested by LYMAN TRUM-
BULL, who will make affidavit if required
THE democratic organs give up the cleo
tion Of 1884 along with that Of last Tues
day. They say: After GARFIELD, GRANT"
WATTERsoN snys the defeat was due to
the striking of too low a keynote. Yes
that and playing the tune in the minoI
mode.
THE democrats closed the mouth Of BEN
HILL, but left WADE HAMPToN's open; the
spigot stopped, but the bung-hole kept
running
HANCOCK came well recommended, but
certificates signed by WADE HAMPTON and
A. II. STEPHENS are not taken at face value
quite yet.
WHEN tho superb reads the figures Of
majorites he feels that "we move forward
and not backward more forcibly than can
be expressed in words.
THE Tribune says HANCOCK was misleC
by an effervescence. Senator EATON is some
times misled by something of that kind
but we never heard it of HANCOCK.
SINCE the nomination of GARFIELD the
Washington monument has grown fourteen
feet. Thus do the stones rise up to testifl
to the revival of business and patriotism.
OK Wednesday morning General Nc
CLErLAN rushed to the position Of Genera
HANCOCK on Governors island-the frs
instance of his pursuinGa defeated captain
TnE democrats have been clamorou
against placing civil power in the hands O
"military satraps," and the people hav
averted that danger. Let the country b
glad.
HANCOCK told MCCLELLAN that he wa
"sorry for the people" Emotion at thi
point cholsed utternnce, but the sentenc
finished would read, "for the people VIII
reside on Governors island"
THE Louisville COuyicr-JOinndl says: 9TH
people have not been defeated it is onl,
the politicians" This is a sly dig at Ben
BUTLER and FoRNGY The people gen
orally are satisfied and smiling.
The New York SIN is vexing its soul +
high degree over General GRANTS future
Ii should take paregoric or soothing syrul
and take IL little rest now 50 as to hav
strength TO suffer should its terrible fear
be realized.
FoRNEY looks back ut that bright Sun
day morning when he Topped and wonder
what kind of spirit it was that Whispers
in his ear the fatal words which led hin
astray in his old age and caused him I
smirch the only decent portion Of his recor
with q blacliing-brush.
-
THE democrats are not as fierce for
change now as they wero before they wer
defeated. If they were thoy would ''let L
have peace" and put aside their pop-gun
and mud-machines until 1884, A chang
now will bring political peace and quiet
and that is what the country most need
Just at present 1t is tired Of the turmoi
of politics. Ii has had surfet, Let tn
subject be changed. The country shoul
settle down to business ana help build Il
Instead Of pulling down,
USUALLY there is an inteuegnum {
