He should expatiate upon the dangers

there is not the slightest possible chance
for Hancock to carry that State. Nobody

vince such persons if there are any at

THE brief note written by Gen Grant
to the Chicago Advance touches with his
usual directness and force of statement
the great issue of this presidential cam
paign. Il have nothing to say against
Gen. Hancock. His personal, official,
and military record is good. The reputa-
ton ofthe party Which pat him in nOnina-
ton is bad" That hits the princi-
pal nail in the Democratic coffin square
ly on the head. Every man who votes
for Gen. Hancock must necessarily vote
to put that party in power, and turn
over to its control the government of the
Republic.
The Virginia Readjusters, in their
State convention came out in their true
cOlOrs and declared for the Democratic
Presidential ticket, but nominated full
and distinct set of Presidential electors
The Washington organ of the DemOc-
rscy walls over the triangular fight, with
the straight Democrats with their cleo
tOral ticket in the field, and with the
adjusters with another Hancock and
English electoral ticket also in the field
there is powerful likelihood that Gar
field will secure the eleven votes of the
state. What gravels the party mana
gers is that they cannot help it, the hos
tility between the straights and the adj
| justers being of the irrecOncileable- sort
THE dissenting opinions of Judge Nib
lack and Scott on the constitutional
amendments, logically expose the film
siness of the grounds upon which thu
Democratic majority of the Supreme
Court of the State set aside the amend
ments. The result was piece of jul
dicial legislation by which the will OF thu
people expressed at the polls was delib
erately set aside, to entail upon them thu
expense of the double election in tn,
fall of the Presidential year. This wa
done under the mistaken notion that TIT
Democrats could carry Indiana in Oc
tOber, and so start boom for Hancock
About the time the returns of the OctO
| Der election are declared, and it is seeI
Indiana has fallen into the Republican
line, the manipulatOrs of that judicia
iniquity will begin to realize there il

Mr.. Nellis' contract is no small affair.
1t amounts to from between six to ten
thousand dollars and is well worthy of at
tention, but he must be humOred in his
within by personal friends ut the expense
and to the detriment Of the city and must
be given his own time, Notwithstanding the
fact that two months ago the entire council
agreed that even then it was already too
late in the year to commence the per
manent improvement Of our streets. The
Paducah gentleman who bid against
Mr.. Nellis tor the job, would
doubtless have fulfilled the contract, but
one of the reasons why it was given to Mr..
Nellis was that he was "home man. Had
Mr.. Nellis cared as much tor the city's inter

be apt 10 throw anything in his way that

their political opinions to deter them from
insisting on the immediate fulfllment Of
his contract
