The Grccnbackers in Maine have
finally swallowed the Democracy, Gar
celon and all This wonderful feat could
not have been successfully accomplished
by anything less expansive than the in
fiation party.
All that is now wanting to impart a
healthful degree of momentum TO the
Hancock boom in Indiana is the re
moval of General Apathy and a proper
dissemination of the frucliiying influen-
ces OF the bar'l.
We learn from private advices that
Bill English, the Democratic candidate
for vice president, got n 50 bill changed
last Saturday, and declared his purpose
to enter the campaign in real earnest and
make it "hor one.
The Republican party has paid off one
third of the debt entailed upon the coun-
try by Democratic rebellion. Is there
anything in that showing to justify the
demand Of the great unterrificd, who are
shrieking for a changer
Mr.. Tilden has declined to preside at
a meeting of the party which showed its
stupidity by accepting his letter of de-
clination in literal instead of figura-
tive sense. Isn't it about time for Kelly
and Fellows to hug again?
Since the nomination of Hancock a
number of leading Democrats who de
sire to make constitutional lawyers"
out of their sons, are endeavoring to Sc
cure their appointment to the L. S. mill
tary academy at West Point
The prospects of harmonious action
between the Tammany and Tilden De
mocrais in New York are about as ra-
diant as the outlook for the establish
ment of the amenities of polite society
between brace of Kilkenny cats.
There are an uncommon sight of Dem
ocrats turning up at every point in IndI-
ana who, it appears, have not yet been
"seen" by the party leaders. Mean
while English has not yet found any one
who has enough small bills To break
that ~"
The election of Hancock involves all
sorts of risks-financlal, industrial, com
mcrcial and constitutional The cleo
ton of Garfield involves no risk of any
kind, but is guarantee of stability and
continued prosperity. That is why Gar
field will be elected.
Personalities are fast fading out of tho
present canvass, and the contest Is To bt
made squarely upon the respective re
cords of the Republican and Democratic
parties for the past twenty years. Al
other issues are irrelevant and will b,
rcpudiat,,l by thinking people.
While il may prove no breakfast jol
, to knock the wind out of Judge VrOo
man, the Grecnback candidate for gov
ernor, it is thought that even gas-ha!
, Of his ample dimensions will present
, comparatively flat appearance after
has been sat down upon 10y about 10000
Republican voters.
The Democratic machinery for solid
' flying the south appears to be construct
: ed on the double back action plan.
[ don't seem To work To the line of til
' original specifications, and in spite {
h the most cautious manipulation, is dc
1 ing Il vast deal too much in the directio
; of shaping up Il solid north.
v The road to mems hearts may lea

: The Democratic lunatics who are di

? condition of the country, and are shriel
ing for Change" should cut this OF
and paste it in their hats.
n New York Tribune: The desertior
a TO Hancock have come to stop so su,
# den as to cause an awkward feelin
&c among the Democratic reception con
: mittee. The few cold-nosed Republ
cans who thought there was going TO
d a stampede and wanted to be the fir
:, ones to "go over" must feel lonesome.
h The Democrats wanted n change"
he 81, and it cost the country over six b
y lions of dollars to convince them tn
n. their demand was not founded upon Il
IN popular sentiment of the American pc
;; pie. Their petition is st i'll on file, al
n the question of granting it is the issl

oil eide ut the presidential election.
