oUR TICKET COMPLETE.


At our mast head this week will be
found the full Democratic ticket, from
President OF the United States down to
County Surveyor. The nomination Of
ex.Governor Curtin for Congress com.
pletes the list,
We adopt the views of the editor of
the Clinton Democrat in relation to the
nominee for Congress. He says; at

ings of the Congressional Conference
found elsewhere in this issue, that Hon.
Andrew q Curtin, OF Belleionle, has
been nomigated Tor Congress in this
Twentieth district In the nominee
we have gentleman fitted for the
position in high degree. Long ex-
perience in public life has given him
advantages that will make his presence
u strength to the councils of the pco-
pie, and his life long residence among
the people he is to represent makes
him the best of representatives for the
citizens Of his district while his SER
vices as Governor fully acquainted him
with the people and resources and
wants OF the whole State, and the in.
terests Of Pennsylvania would bo guard

gencc equal to the best.
Asa Democrat, Mr., Curtin has been
working in every campaign since 1872.
He was long in the lead of the many
eminent men who are forsalting the
Radical party now and raging under
the banner of Democracy with Han.
cock as their leader He left his party
when it was strong, and surrendered
high position to follow the lead of bis
principles. 1t was long ere he ap.
peared as a candidate, aud then he was
pressed forward by leading men of the
State, including the candidate for Gov.
ernor the Chairman of the State Cen.
trail Committee, the late OK Governor
Bigler and others, ana even the noble
Democratic leader, Hon. Thomas A.
Hendricks, came into his district to
announce his satisfaction at the nomi.

when an extraordinary condition ex.
listed in the three principal counties Of
his district-a condition that does not
exist now, and will not again soon

confident. The experience of the past

REBEL CLAIMs.-The Philadelphia
Times "rats in" on Garfield, as follows
General Garfield has not yet defined
his position regarding Southern claims,
Under Republican Congress more Of
these claims have been paid than un.
der Democratic Congress, and il is
important TO know II that is going to
continue a part Of the party policy,
Some of the organs have figured the
amount of these claims mp to nearly
three thousand millions. This is on
appalling sum. General Hancock says
none of it can be paid with his con
scnt, and the country is willing to hear
what General Garfield may have to
say on this exciting subject"

[From tho New York Times lgep.), Sept 2S, 80.
Geo. Hancock has written Il very

ton Of rebel war claims. II he hac
kindly scnt copies Of it to tho variou'
orators who treated tho question al

barrassment. lie says "lf were

which might CONT before me provid
ing for tho consideration or paymeni
of claims of any kind for losses or dam
ages by persons who were in rebellion
whether pardoned or not THIS Il
CONCLUSIVE so FAR AS HE is
CONCERNED. 1t does not sneak
behind forced construction Of thC
fourteenth amendment, but declares
his personal purpose IN regard to logis
lation which the amendment does moi
cover, The assurance which be gives
does credit TO bis honesty and his in
dependence, and is one which every
Intelligent citizen, whatever his poll
tics, will rejoice to receive. The coun
try can now devote its attention tC
other and graver issues between thC
two parties, OF which there is no lack
and as to which the position Of Gen
Hancock is completely identified with

WHAT THE SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN
SAYS


From the Springfield Republican (lndepsndcnt
Republican,, Sept 27, 1851
General Hancook's letter on the Rebel claims
is By all odds bis sharpest aud most striking ut
terhnce as yet, aud one which will commend him
greatly to the country. The Republican papers
we're 80 confident that he would not have the
courage to pu, himself on record against "rebel
claims not named by the l4th amend
ment--that they will be as much disappointed in
this letter as they were by the production Of the
sherman correspondence.

General Plaistod's plurality is 23i.

by not far from 10000 majority. Da-
Wis, the present Governor, will there.

place. The Radical loss in Maine
{ (15,0O0) is over ten per cent. since
