didate.
Taken altogether, the Democrats
seem to have made a mistake. The
nomination of Gen Hancock was un-
premeditated and done in a moment
of excitement, but unfortunately for
the Democrats it is now too late for
them to put up a stronger man.
TIE Vice President is not Thomas
A. Hendricks, who desired the Sec
ond place on the ticket, and it follows
as matter of course that he will work
to the best of his ability for the sue
cess of the ticket in Indiana, and of
course the Democrats will carry the
State. All this, and more the Dem-
ocrats would fain believe themselves
and take great pains to impress it
upon the minds of the Republicans.
But it won't do; it is a confession of
weakness and uncertainty. And
while the Democrats try to figure up
for themselves victory, and are
trying to reconcile the various in
consistencies of the campaign, the
Republicans are quietly working for
the success which they know awaits
them.

A call has been issued for an Irish
American Republican convention to
be held at Indianapolis on the 14th Of
July for the purpose of ratifying the
nomination of Garfield and Arthur
at Chicago and perfecting national
organization. The call recites and
compares the history Of the two great
political parties, declares that Irsh-
men are inconsistent in accepting the
doctrines of the Democrrtlc party,
and justly points cut that "the Re-
publican party, in all its great achieve
ments, has never advanced a prin-
ciple nor enacted a statute in any
way at variance with a single doc
trine Of that patriotic faith which
has upheld the people of Ireland
during their long and determined
struggle for national autonomy" 1t
concludes with the expression of the
hope that the time will come when
Irshmen, having discovered the true
character of their false guides Of the
Democratic party, will boldly espouse
the banner of the Republican party
under which, as liberty loving peo-
pie, they have always rightfully be-
longed."

in thatsection. They have not for
gotten the cipher dispatches, which
prove the Democratic managers
guilty, not only of acquiescence in
the wholesale murder and intimida-
ton by which Republicans in the
South were prevented from voting,
but that they made persistent, sys-
tematic and determined effort to Sc
cure the Presidency by bribery and
fraud, after they had failed to secure
it by fraud and violence. The people
will not fail to remember the tinan-
cial record of the Democracy how
they devised every imaginable
scheme to break down the credit of
the Government and bring disaster
and disgrace on the best financial
system that the world has ever
known: that they have been ever
ready to sacrifice the best interests of
the country to temporary Demo-

loyal North will remember these
things, and will oppose solid South
with solid North.
General Hancock may be a fair
enough man, but he is not immense
enough to cover the sins of the Dem
ocratic party with his responsibility,
and he must certainly feel in bad
company when he turns his back on
the veterans who fought beside him
in the late war, and lends his popu>
larity and his influence to turn the
government over in 1880, to the very
men who sought to destroy it in
1861.

Hon. Milton G. urnsr.

From the Cumberland Daily Newsl
Colonel Daniel c. Bruce, of this
city, some time since wrote to Hon.
Milton G. Urner, soliciting an ex-
preston of the latter's wishes in
regard to the approaching congress
sional campaign. Rumor had it that
Mr.. Urner would and would not be
a candidate, and his friends were in a
state Of uncertainty about the matter.
In talk with the writer in Wash
ington last March, Mr.. Urner seemed
inclined not to be a candidate again,
and in a recent letter rested his
wishes accordingly. All this time he
was strongly importuned to run
again, and he held the subject under
advisement, sensibly preferring to
not positively commit himself until
necessary. The occasion to speak has
come, and in his letter to Col. Bruce
Mr.. Urner states his willingness to
serve his constituency again if they
desire.
We have beel permitted to make
an extract from Mr.. Urner's letter,
in which, after referring to certain
correspondence on the subject. he
says:
81 feel I do not deserve the fatter-
ing expressions my friends have so
kindly written me, nor do | agree
with them that the interests of the
party are dependent at all upon me !;
hut, while l still prefer not to be
nominated, and feel that my private
interests require me to remain at
home, would not feel at libe; ty to
decline to obey the will of my fellow
citizens should they again desire me
to serve them. Yours truly,
MILTON G. URNER."
If Mr.. Urner adheres to the above,
and as he has deliberately expressed
himself he is not likely to change his
views, we consider that the nomina
ton will be rendered him. 1t has for
long time been generally conceded
that the nomination was his if he
desired it, and we suppose it will
now take that direction.3
Mr.. Urner has made a creditable
record in Congress. He has not essay
ed any brilliant display, but in his
speeches has shown that his views of
public affairs are Sound. and every
vote on important matters has been
correctly cast. This is particularly
true of the financial 'question, when
he alone of all the Maryland MEM
bers of the House cast his vote for
honest money.
With Mr.. Urner for Congress, and
our splendid presidential ticket, we
can make stirring, vigorous and
successful campaign.

"We think the Democrats have
made the same kind of a mistake in
the selection of a candidate at Gin
cinnati as did the Wings in 1852. at
Baltimore, in the nomination of Gen.
Scott. In each case the trained
statesmen were set aside because they
were statesmen and had made rec
ord. The soldier was taken, not be-
cause he was a soldier. not in the
spirit of hero worship, but simply
and solely because he was not a
statesman. The attempt to hurrah
Gen. Scott into the Presidency was a
flat failure. The hollowness of the
enthusiasm of the brass band politi-
clans was perfectly apparent to the
people. The statesmen who had been
set aside were hurt and sore that
their services to the party and coun-
try were ingnored, and that their
very fame was looked upon as a
weakness.
"The nomination of a noble soldier
made from the most ignoble motives,
the result. of wretched rivalries, was
the death knell of the Wing party.
The nomination of Hancock came
by reason of exactly similar political
tactics and beliefs. The result in our
opinion will follow the parallel al.
ready pointed out. Nothing will be
gained to the Democracy from ring
ing the changes upon the war record
of their nominee, for the campaign
will not turn upon war services.
"The questions with which they
will have to deal will be those &c
which their candidaee is as perfect 9

resident of Canada. The Injustice

manic influence among the Bourbon

being in the nature of concession

President Hinsdale of Hiram Col
lege, tells "Gath" this tender little
story of Garfeld's life in Hiram:
"Garfeld's oldest child died in this
house. 1t was daughter, and would
now have been perhaps twenty-one
years old. He had just come back
from Chickamauga. and Stanton had
made him a Major General. He was
on his way to Washington. and had
no change of clothing, He had not
had time to get himself a new suit
of clothes. You know well enough
that he was not the man to take any
vanity in uniform. But when his
child was dead, and he stayed oyer
for. the funeral, he had to wear that
suit with the Major Generals but
tons on it. There was no photograph
of the child to whom they were both
tenderly attached, and there being in
the town a travelling photographers
wagon, he was called upon to make
a picture of the little child after
death. Garfield took the little crea-
ture in his lap to hold it while they
made the picture, and he told me
that when he looked down on the
cold face of his child his eyes fell on
the buttons of the Major General and
he thought how little there was in
the hOnors of the world"

General Garfield, when a young
man, knew something of poverty.
When he started as a teacher, says
the Cleveland Leader. he was the
owner of but zone suit, and that of
jeans. Toward the end of the term
the trousers became very thin, and
while bending down one day he tore
one Of the knees nearly around. The
chagrined teacher pinned it together
as well as he was able, and that night
made somewhat bitter complaint to
Mrs. Stiles. where he was boarding,
in regard to his poverty. oh, never
mind said the good woman, you
can go to bed and one of the boys
will bring down your pantaloons,
and l will carefully darn the hole, so
that it will be as good as new. When
you get to be President you will for
get all about such little things as
that"

all the passengers had to jump into

have been lost. Several passing

review of the political situation in
these words: 1--WE are inclined to

that Hancock will lose by the char
acter of a part of his following and
his lack of civil experience"

The Post (Rep.) says: ''In some
respects the nomination is strong
one. Hancock, true, brave and pat

grounds. He has no experience in
civil life. Garfield is in striking con-
trast with him in this respect"

The Presidential Campaign.

The nomination by the Democracy
at Cincinnati, of General Hancock as
their candidate for the Presidency,
practically opens the campaign of
1880. The representatives of the two
great political parties have met, pro-
mulgatsd their declarations of prin,
ciples and named their standard
bearers.
In the selection of General Garfield
the Republicans have chosen wisely.
He is representative Republican.
BY his own effort he raised himself
from poverty and obscurity, obtained
q collegiate education, made fol him
self good military record and was
elected nine times in succession to a
seat in the House of Representatives,
and finally, last winter, to the United
States Senate. In him we have the
scholar. the soldier, the statesman,
and he will command the full vote
of his party.
Gen. Hancock, on the other hand,
is not representative Democrat; he
has nothing ia common with the
aims, the.tendencies and the underly-
ing principles of the Democratic
party. Most Democrats will doubt
less vote for him, but in their secret
heart large majority of them would
very much prefer voting for some one
who fought on the other side, were it
polite to do so. General Hancock
Is a good candidate in q passive sense;
there is nothing specially against
him. Garfield is good candidate
positiv sly; there is not only moth
ing against his character, but great
deal in his favor and when we come
to Judge the two men by their
achievements, by their capacity, by
their fitness for the high Office for
which they have been nominated,
laying aside all political bias. and
taking into account their Opportuni-
ties, ninety-nine men in a hundred
will decide that Garfield is the better
man of the two. AS mere choice
therefore, Garfield will have the ad'
vantage. But the campaign will be
fought out, not on the personal pop
ularity of the candidates, but on the
principles they represent. The Dem
ocrats have had control of the lower
House of Congress for the last five
years, and of the Senate year and
a half. and the people know what tC
expect of them, if they get contro
of the Executive Department of thu
Government also. They have no
forgotten the Democratic threat tt
