LAST NIGHTS DISPATCHES TO THE RECORD
UNION
General Hancock and the United States
Labor Leagues
New York, July 27th.-The Herald re-
lates an interview yesterday between COM
mittee from the United States Labor League
and Hancock. General Mcbride, of Vir-
ginia, spokesman of the committee, said that
both Democrats and Republicans belonged to
this organization, which exercised local infiu-
ences in many sections. That in September
next they would hold Convention in this
city, at which they would decide the question
as to which of the candidates should get their
support, decision that could only be reached
by first ascertaining which of the candidates
was most in accordance with their views.
He denied that their organization had any
connection with Socialism or Communism.
Their sole object is to secure justice to the
working classes viz: An enforcement OF the
eight hour law; the establishment of sys.
tenn of arbitration between employers and
workmen to prevent strikes and the enact
ment of laws tending to more justly award
division of profits between capital and labor.
After listening to the statements OF the COM
mittee, Hancock refused to express any
views in the matter. Under the circum-
stances, all he could do-and this he cheer
fnlly did-was to give them letter of intro
duction to Senator Barnum, Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee. The letter
was strictly formal one, and said that the
gentlemen would explain their business.
General Grant Summons the ''BOys In
Blue"
TIL Tha T,,1,t W. oh
ineton special says: The order of General
Grant to the Boys in Blue to organize to
save the country from the Democracy fell
upon the representatives of the latter here
with something akin to the old order for an
advance of the Union army. Republicans are
most enthusiastic over it, and look on it as
worth many thousand votes in quarters where
they will tell. Democratic papers in this re.
eion are nearly all silent in regard to it. The
Post shows its concern in a bitter editorial, of
which the following is sample: For the
first time in our history we find an ex- Presi-
dent who, having been most inglorlously de-
feated in the effort to foist himself upon the
country for third time, undertakes to lead
political organization in campaign that is
to decide who shall occupy the place which
he vacated and vainly tried to reach again.
There is no fair man of any party who will
not think the less of General Grant for this
effort to rally the ex-soldiers of the army and
organizing them into Boys in Blue clubs
for campaign service. This smacks of the
ward politician"
Lynching of Negro Monster.
WASHINGTON, July 27th.-Jobn Diggs
tnegro( who outraged Mrs. Jane Tichitfely
on Saturday night last. near Jamestown,
Maryland, was lodged in jail at Rockville
yesterday. Shortly before o'clock this
morning about fifty men appeared at the jail,
and one of them demanded admission on the
plea of Identification. Sheriff Kitchen re-
fused him admittance while the crowd re-
manned and they fell back few feet. Another
formal demand being made, slight demur was
made by the Deputy Sheriff. This was the
signal for an assault and the door was broken
in. While the door was being forced quite
melee occurred with the officers, and even
after Diggs had been brought out in the open
air the Sheriff made another attempt to
rescue his prisoner. He was Immediately
caught and held. In his struggles he received
a cut on the arm. The crowd then hurried
Diggs off, his ankle irons clanking as he was
forced down the road at quick trot. He
seemed quite calm, and said he was willing
to die. Some distance from town the party
met horse by preconcerted arrangement.
Diggs' hands and arms were pinioned, and it
was then found that to hang him by running
the horse from under him was impracticable.
A moose was placed around lis neck, and he
was hauled from the ground, making but
little resistance. The body was left hang
ing. Diggs made full confession of the
crime to the Sheriff previous to the Jail being
forced.

The latter frequently said it was her only
concern to live and die alone. She was
closely watched by her neighbors, yet she had
her wish. She was last seen alive on Satur
day, when she entered her house. That she
was not seen Sunday was not strange; but as
there was no indication of activity Monday
morning, two neighbors went to the house,
and finding the entrance fastened, they raised
the window of her bedroom and found the
venerable lady on the bed with her clothes on
tea and dishes of Cruel and ginger tea. Also

Political OufIook-A Sanguine Congress.
man.
CHICAGO, July 27th.--The Inter Oceans
Washington special says: Congressman
Keifer, just renominated, says Ohio will give
not less than $4,000 majority for Garfield.
Ewing last year called out the largest poss-
BILE Greenback and Democratic vote. As to
Indiana, it is a close State. When times
were hard and farmers feared worse distress,
there was objection to the policy of the Ad-
ministration. That is now past. The Dem
ocrats attacked the National Banks, and Eng
lish is National Bank man, and represents
the idea which their leaders taught the peo-
pie to belive dangerous. The effect will be
bad on the Democrats in Indiana They are
disunited, while the Republicans are wholly
harmonious and united on their candidates.
Respecting Grants order to the Boys in
Blue Keifer said Is that not a grand
thing? So like Grant. Short, crisp and
business ike. / am waiting to see how the
Democratic press will cringe under it. They
had been trying to create the impression that
he was friendly to Hancock, when all their
insinuations are wiped out at blow by this
order. That will electrify the veterans OF
the nation from shore to shore. There is no
use Disgusting it. Grant has a hold on the
hearts of the people, and you will see the
Boys in Blue fall in from Maine to Cali.
