The democracy of this state is in bet
ter heart than it has lceu since 1860.
The Harrisburg convention settled all
divisions in .he party, and the Cincinnati
nominations have filed it With cnthuSi-
assn, Hunt where YOU will You cannot
find y sorehead or croakcr There is
mot democrat in Pennsylvania who
does not believe thu; Hancock will be
elected, and scarcely one who does not
believe lie will carry his own state.
They say; The last democratic pres.
ideat WAS II PcunSylvNnian nominated

There are in this state $1,000 soldiers
Who served under Gen, Hancock, or
With HIM. The people, without regard
To party, are grateful to him, not only
FOR his splendid services to the Union ON
distant fields. but for the immediate
preservation Of their homes and fire
sides nj Gettysburg, There is no name
that would have stirred PENNSYLVANIA
feeling to greater depth than Ham
cocks, and il is exactly true that his
nomination was received III ovcry
city, town, and village with
II general outhurst ol applause,
lie will poll the fun party vote, i large
independent and republican vote, and
pretty much the whole soldier vote.
Under these circumstances the talk OF
carrying Pennsylvania is anything hut
wild, HoNt is n minority governor,
The majority against him ON Il com
hincd vote of the opposition was about
6o,o00 The riot hill the pardon OF
kemble and the other brihcs, and
other measures Of most disgraccful
administration have seriously disgustcd
and disheartcucd the republicans
These scandals afford local issues which
will materially aid the democratic cleo
toral ticket
On the other hand, the republican
party here is in the worst condition
since ii was horn. In order To carry
through the third term scheme, Mr.
Don Cameron and the machine mana
gers committed series of outragcs
upon the rank and file that connot he
forgotten. They failed, and in their
failure the machine was smashed, il
power dissipatcd, and the old and cx-
perienced leaders buried beneath the
rubbish. Mr. Cameron has disappear
ed He is heard Of only
through dismal groan from the White
Sulphur Springs, or somewhere else far
beyond the scene OF conflict, His
father, the old general, has covered his
head and turned his face to the wall.
None Of the ancient set, who have held
the state for years by their energy
their money, and their thoroughly or.
ganized system, will turn Il hand for the
election Of Garfield, Why should
they? They have had enough OF
Hayes and his kind, and they know
that the high-hnndcd means by which
they undertook To force Grant on the
party can never be forgiven What
can they expect from Blaine, and Shcr-
man. and Garfield, or from the rcpubli-
can people, who were compelled To inn
peril the very existence of the party
TO fight them To the very verge of dis
ruption--in order To be rid of their au-
daeious tyranny They will regard
Gariield'S defeat as their yindication,
and they look forward to that event in
November as confidently if not a4
hopefully, rs the democrats.
There have never been SO many
changes reported mt this stage in any
campaign. In many places we hear oi
Hancock and English clubs composed
exclusively of republicans. Some OF
the deserters are men of national rcpu-
tation-among them 4. joy Morris and
Col. John W. Forney, who have nj
ready thrown themselves mrcserycdly
into the canvass. The old republican ship
is lurching and sinking in full view, and
the sea is black with departing rats
The flight of some Of thcsc-old and ~.
gacious fcllows--is. in the eyes Of Penn.
