LEIGH Z. FREEMAN,

TIE INDIANA election did not kill
the democratic party. Il took away
the party's breath for a moment, and
frightened the organization cut OF a
weeks growth. But that is all. The
chances Of success are in fact as good
to-day as they were three months ago.
We think they are better. A small
majority in Indiana would have given
democrats dangerous confidence.
They would have rested during the
three weeks before the presidential
election, and thus might have lost in
the great battle. The minor defeat
only spuTred them up to increase
their efforts. After recovering from
the temporary shock, they went to
work, and have kept it up with an
earnestness and a determination
which mean victory. 1t is clear that
the party is desperate, and intends to
win if such thing be possible, which
it certainly is. The leaders have
ceased their efforts in states that are
not doubtful. They are fooling away
nothing in such republican sections
as Iowa and Vermont, or in demo-
cratic states like Georgia, the Caro- |
linss. etc.; but are concentrating
money and music in doubtful terri
tory, as New Hampshire and Indi-
ana. This is what should have been
done at first, but they wanted to
make the triumph too sweeping. They
shouldered more than they could
carry when they undertook to move
of with a good chunk of New EGG
land, to surround q large section of
the northwest, aud make big hole In
the middle states. Indiana taught
them that it was not well to scatter.
They have seen the folly of under
taking too much, and learned IN
time to avoid humiliation. II We
look at matters fairly and squsrely,
and not with the trembling and dszed {
vision occasioned by the suddenness
Of the Hoosier shock, the outlook is '
clear and promising. Gen. Gran.

The OGDEN people will remember
a fellow by the name of Freeman
who sojourned in their city year CT
two ago. He printed a weekly paper
there; that is, he printed one side Of
it in Ogden, the ot)er eide being
printed in California. Freeman went
to Montana last year, and started two
weekly papers, one a! Butte and the
other in Glendale. Il seems that in
the north he Is pursuing the same
course that has marked his career in
the past, namely, that of a newspaper
prostitute. In Ogden he tried to
play it "fne" auI secure Mormon
support for his Wishy-Rashy journal;
but the trick vas so transparent that
al saw through it. He then tried to
make his paper a Gentle organ, but
Gentiles were more disguised with
the fellow than the MorIIons had
been. He tried to be democratic,
and then republican, and finally,
being on the verge Of starvation,
crawled out for Montana. When
the campaign in that terri
tory opened, freeman and his
two paDers poised on the
fence for a time, and then Topped
over on the republican side. since
which they have been working for
Sanders. republican candidate for DEL
gats to Congress. An explanation
has now been found. At a political
meeting in Walkerville. near Butte,
the other evening, one of the speak
ers read the following, which had
been given him by Msginnis, present
delegate and candidate for reelection:

A Southern Republican DECLARING for
Hancock.

Hon. John Pool, of North Carolina,
was "home Republican" Senator from
that State for the six years after recon
struction and has been a Republican
ever since He has declared his pref.
erence for Gen. Hancock. in letter
containing, among others the following
good reasons
In view of the whole situation, involving
sentiment, duty, sound policy and the
future, | regard the nomination of General
Hancock as a most fortunate and provi-
Dental event. He is endeared to the North
and commended to its fullest confidence by
the purity and frmness of his personal
character and by the services he rendered in
defense of the Union. He has the conf
dence of the South as an honorable and
gallant soldier representing that feeling in
the North which would respect the Just
rights of all and make the nation solid in
peace and unity instead of the sections in
discord and hate. After all that has trans
pired during the war and since, | am con-
WINGED that no Republican President could
now restore the country to a normal condi-
ton of peace and order and | am as fully
convinced that the election Of General
Hancock would bring that result. The
ROrtnern people WOuiu naturally be prom DIT
to aid and sustain him in all measures
adapted to such a purpose, and the Southern
people would of necessity as well as dispo-
sition heartily and earnestly extend their
full cooperation and support.
On the other hand, the election of Pres
ident by sectional vote is to prolong and
intensity existing evils and dangers and to
shroud in darkness the present and the
future, involving white and black, rich and
poor in common calamity.
These, my friends, are the candid views
formed from close observation and sober
reflection under circumstances that has
given me the best opportunity to observe
and consider. In the approaching Presi-
Dental election the success of one party is
to restore trustful confidence and mutual
kindness between the sections and thus to
make the Union solid, I hope, for all time.
The success of the other is to put the sec
lions in solid array with no reasonable
assurance that the same thing is not to be
repeated as long as the party in rSwer can
induce the Northern people to prolong sec
tional raneor and malevolenoe aud to treat
ten millions Of the American people as
Conquered enemies instead of felIow-citi-
gems in the common brotherhood of the
Union.
Respectfully and truly your friend,
JOHN Pool.

Massachusetts is also guilty of repu-
dating her contract under cireumstan-
ces almost as bad as the case of
Minnesota. 1t cannot be said in ex-
cuse for the conduct of the two States
last named, that the bonds, or any part
thereof, issued by them, were stolen or
tainted with corruption as in the cases
of the Southern States when under car
pet-bag rule. They were issued for
their legitimate purposes by agents OF
their own selection, and not in violation
of the Supreme law.
Talk about reputation Has not the
government of the United States, IN
several notable instances, authorized the
whole nation of individuals to shake off
their private debts-wipe them out as
with sponge-by taking what Is
known in ordinary parlance, 1.-THE bene-
fit of the bankrupt law" What is the
difference in morals between Govern
ment granting authority to individuals
to repudiate their debts under the form
of bankruptcy, and availing itself of the
same privilege in its capacity as sover-
eign power In former times, it was the
custom Of Great Britain when she exer-
cised this power, to assume that 1t was
bringing the State home"-viz: reliev-
ing it from debt by throwing off bur
densome obligations.
But whether right or wrong, Missis-
sippi has done nothing of the sort. She
never contracted the debt she Is charged
with repudiating. She neUer tcW repu-
diote her obligations Look at her CON
duct with reference to the debt imposed
upon her people as il legacy of the car
pet-bag government since the war
When the Democrats came into power
in 1876, it amounted to nearly million
of dollars, and was not contracted
for any of the legitimate purposes of
government But the thought never
entered the minds Of the people to repu-
date it. Poor and down-trodden and
plundered Of their estates, and desc
lated in their homes, as they had been,
they have readily paid special tax to
meet it as it matured. Upon neither
the interest nor the principal Of these
Bonds has the State been in default for
single day and those that are now
outstanding, are worth premium in
the money market, of from one to four
per cent. This simple fact speaks
louder than words in vindication of
the fidelity of Mississippi to her obliga-
tiOns

General HancocR's Answer.

We are informed, ON good authority, that

the legitimate expenses of hiseiection II ne
would permit them to name the Secretary o.

Republicans were raising aud spending vast
sums of money in this campaign, aud u was
proposed to raise million dollars by private
substitution to insure the election OF Car
field. the Democratic COMMITTEES had nc
funds to speak of, and is obliged to depend
upon the spontaneous enthusiasm OF the
people for contributions.
General Hancock listened To their state
ment with respect, and courteously replied
/ s'Gentlemen, must decline your offer. IL

office unpledged."
That was the proper answer for a patriot
1t was the decision of an honest man. Inc
Democratic committee has no funds to meet
this expenditure OF money by the Republi"
can managers. 1t depends solely on the
intelligence and patriotism and principle OF
the American people for support. And

for President, the hero-statesman refuses to
barter a single office for $3.50, 600 eren though
It might secure he's election

were so deservedly snubbed by General

tative of the Rothschilds who hired

Lying by the wholesale.

Hon. G. E. Hooker went to Ohio by
invitation of the Democratic Executive
Committee of that State, TO speak upon
the Presidential questions. His appear.
anee in the State was the signal for all
manner of vile abuse by the organs of a
party which have complained that a
Northern Republican is not permitted
to speak in the South without being
insulted. The following pointed letter
from Col. McCardle, to the Cincinnati
Commercial, will show the nature Of
these assaults upon Col Hooker:

Editor of the Cincinnati Commercial:
SIR: In your paper of the fourteenth in

George Davis, TO the effect, that. after he
Was captured at Stone river, on the MORN
ing of the first day of January, 1863, he was
robbed by "Gfen. Hooker" the present rep
resentatlve IN Congress from the fifth u j.
sissippi district, OF a silver hunting case
watch that "cost thirty-five dollars and
three photographs, two of young lady
friends, and one of my sister, and three let
tiers"
It is sufficient to say. first, that Col.
Hooker was not present at Stone river. at
the time mentioned, nor at any other period
of the war.
Second-He was at that time only a
Lieutenant of artillery, in which capacity
he lost his arm during the siege of Vie ks
burg.
Third-He was appointed, as soon as he
recovered from the effect of his wound. a
member of a military court, with the rank
of Colonel.
Fourth-He never was General at
all.
Fifth-He never had control of mill
tary or other prison, and never had charge
OF any prisoners whatever; and
Sixth-There WAS no officer of the name
of Hooker in the Confederate army who
ever held the rank of General.
