A FLOOD TIDE OF POPULARITY

Governor Porter, chairman of the
Tennessee delegation, was strongly for
Bayard and hesitated to cast the unani-
NOUS vote of the State for Hancock. The
Hood tide came and everybody was for
| Hancock, and ne was nominated by the aid
OF no leader but the resistless tide of the
popular heart. Not dollar was spent in
any attempt to gain votes, and the head
quarters OF his friends were as humble as
any country cabin"
Now can he be elected?"
Yes. First, he carries. not the solid
South. but every Southern State, New
York, Connecticut. New Jersey, Indians
and California, with Pennsylvania, Illinois
and Oregon. to say the very least, debat-
able But with the tide running as il
now is debate as to Pennsylvania will soon
end. her people have great State pride.
Her soldiers. as well as the soldiers of the
Union. love the very name of Hancock.
The Republicans of Pennsylvania could
have but two issues-irst, the bloody
shirt. and second. the tariff, The first
issue is eliminated from the canvass by
the nomination of Hancock, He wore
the bloody shirt when it cost ones life to
wear it, and it cannot be used now by
men who meyer heard the roar of cannon
or saw the flash of powder. AS to the
second. General Garfield has declared re-
peatedly that he is for protection for the
purpose of securing free trade, and so
distinguished have been bis services in
public life for free trade that he has
received the unusual honor. for an Amer
lcan, OF being elected a member of the
Golden Free Trade Club of England,
Hence Hancock is aggressively strong in
Pennsylvania with the soldiers and in
his appeal TO our State pride. He knew
when TO fight and fought. When the war
was over he knew when to quit, and he |
did quit. The machine Republicans Of
Pennsylvania were for Grant. The
Independent Republicans were for Blaine. |
Prior to his nomination there were not !
dozen Republican in Pennsylvania who
ever dreamed Of Garfield becoming their |
candidate. Party drill may aud doubtless |
viii bring the body of the party TO Gar |
held 8 support. But / predict that in this
contest the Republicans will lose every |
doubtful Legislative and Congressional |
district in the State. Hancock ia the
bride of our people and the idol of our
soldiers. He is stronger than the party,
md with the many declarations BY pro,
nlnept Republicans of their earnest and
Enthusiastic support I cannot and I do
,ot doubt that the electoral vote of Penn
yivaDnia will be cast for him by decided
majority.

Il was originally for Hancock and so

Hancock. In a canvass of the States We
could not count more than eighty votes for

During the month OF March last Nehemiah
johnson, an old pioneer Of this vicinity, died
and was buried in the cemetery east OF this VII
iage. HIS friends supposed his remains to be
slumbering where their loving care had placed
them, until one day soon after, attention was
attracted to the sunken condition OF the grave
and investigation revealed the fact that the
body had been exhumed and taken away. The
matter was kept quiet in order to prevent the
discovery Of the loss becoming known to the
ghouls who had committed the terrible deed,
but investigation began at once, and as usual
under such circumstances, the University med
ical department was first visited. This, how
ever, proved unsuccessful, but firm in the faith
that the remains were there, the matter was
left in the hands of Sheriff Case, who went at
it in q systematic way and soon after notified
the family Of the success Of his efforts. Sun
day morning Harmon johnson returned to Ann
Arbor in answer to the summons and identified
the remains, which had been found in the
womens dissecting room. He returned Mon
day morning and the remains were again de-
posted in the cemetery. The grief Of the
family may be better imagined than described,
and the community in general will feel shocked
that we have among Us fiends capable Of such
wanton vadalism.
