JOHN w. FORNEv.
why He left the Republicans
and supports Hancock and
English.
[IndIapoIls sentlnel. athl


The following letter received yes
terday by Hon. VIM. II. Englisl
from his old friend and former as
sociate, Col. John w. Forney, viii
be read with great interest. Col
Forney has for many years beer
one of the most active and influen
tial republicans in Pennsylvania
but like thousands of honest men il
the party, he thinks the time has
come when there ought to be q
change, and that Hancock and Eng
lish ought to be elected. Read
what he says:
PHILADELPHIA, PA, Aug. 2,
1880.-Hon. William II. English,
indianapolis, Ind.-My Dear Sir
1 beg to return to you my thanks
for your letter, and for the kind
assurance of your remembrance OF
our old relations. / remember
with great interest and affection all
the exciting periods of other days,
and nothing at the present Is more
agreeable than to find that circum-
stances have brough us once more
together in politics.
My relations with public affairs
need hardly be referred to, and /
do not mention it even now save to
explain to you as an old friend that
my great purpose Is to do what lit
tie can in the time that is left me
to promote the reconciliation of the
sections. 1t seems to me to be SO
monstrous that after seventeen
years of peace we should still be in
the midst of recrimination and par
tial war, and that the party with
which / have been identified for
twenty-five years, ,after having made
such a glorious record, has no proud
er boast than to seek to govern the
country by reviving passions and
prejudiceS, of which we ought
long since to have been ashamed.
was for Gen. Grants nomination
for q third term, believing that,
he had around him some
very questionable men, he had the
courage of one conviction at least,
and that was to make all sacrifices
to convince the south that he had
fully forgiven them and was anx-
ious to restore them to prosperity.
That falling, / had supposed all
personal interest in politics was
gone with me, until my old friend
Hancock, whom ! have known
longer than Grant, who was borne
in a neighboring county, and whose
father l knew, was nominated at |
for president. His ac-
tion at Gettysburg had so awakened |
my admiration seventeen years ago, |
that when / come to consider |
his characte / forgot everything |
but that and his noble efforts
for our common country. AL
oW me to say that when |
your name was added to his, my |
lesire to support him on the general
grounds was greatly strengthened.
A great deal of interest is excited
lbout Indiana and Pennsylvania.
It is almost too much to hope that
pennsylvania will go against Gar
ield. Here the rings have a strong
lold, and here our people have
earned to submit to the rings, and
lere holding Office has become a
amily inheritance and a sort Of 4
ashton among the politicians who
i've upon place. But the accessions
D Hancock and English are SO
and the evidence of the
reak in the old line so strong, that
shall not be surprised If Pennsyl-
'ania goes as you and ! desire.
Always yours,

HANCOCK'S SHERMAN LETTER.
What the Papers Think of il.


The Sherman letter has turned
out to be a boomerang to the repub-
licans who clamored for it. 1t was
written at a time when Gen. Han
cock was not thought of as presi-
| Dental candidate. 1t was written.
too, at a most perllOus crisis in our
] history. 1t shows that Gen. Hans
cock possessed a thorough knOwl-
edge of the workings OF our politi-
cal system and took a most wise,
patriotic and Statesmanlike view of
the difficulties OF the situation. The
letter, so far from indicating any
! intention of the writer to declare
for or mid one side of tho cnntro-
Versy rather than the other, cOun-
selled the entire non-intervention
on the part of the army, and showed
a perfect faith that it would be
settled peaceably and in accordance
with constitution and laws. The
letter abounds with sentiments
which show Gen. HancOk to be
statesman, wise, prudent, patriotic
and such man as will in the pres
idential chair honor the high ollice.
Tho republicans called for that let
ter. We commend 1t Ia them for
their careful attention and consid-
eration.- Cleveland f'taillPdIer.
General Hancock does not say
that he will "take orders from Til
den." With a dignity and lack of
passion which did not mark the
professed statesman in that trying
time he asserted his confidence in
constitutional methods and gave
assurance that there was one officer
in high command who knew where
the sword belongs in time of peace.
He did not doubt that the constitu-
ton was strong enough to with
stand even the fearful strain it was
then subjected to, and to his friend
and superior officer he marked out
such course for the military as his
own conscience and that of every
liberty-lOving man could approve.
1t is such a letter as we might look
retires to the seclusion of his farm
to evolve great thoughts from a
great mind. This private let
ter Is worth an hundred letters
of acceptance, because 1T was
not prepared Tor publication,
was written with perfect freedom,
and Is not open to suspicion of
diplomacy. 1t strikes the highest |
key note of a patriotism which |
hopes for the best things while it
bows to the law, whatever 1t may |
be, and is subservient to authority. |

Ohio aermnns for Inaneoel.
New York World.

The most influential paper in
northern Ohio, the Cleveland Waeh-
ter am Eris, has abandoned the Re-
publican and come out for Hancock
and English. So has the Pittsburg
VoIksbiatt. The German vote is
the only thing which has saved
Ohio to the Republicans for the last
four or five years, the conservative
and property-holding sons OF Faith
erland having no sympathy with
the "Ohio idea" in finance. Gar
fields wobbling letter and tainted
record, with the surrender to the
machine on the question of civil
service reform, has evidently con-
vinced the Germans OF Ohio that
their best chances Of contributing to
administrative reform and public
prosperity and harmony lies in sup
porting the Democratic ticket.
There are several very good reasons
why we should expect the cO-opera-
tion of these valuable allies. The
Republican party has given the
country an expensive and extrav-
agant government the Germans
with few exceptions are tax-paying
and thrifty citizens. The Republi-
can party is the party of eentraliza-
ton thousands of German-Amer-
leans have been driven from their
native land by similar system Of
The Republican par
ty is the party of KnOw-nothing-
ism, and the acts of its agents like
small John Davenport show that IL
has not departed from its old prin-
ciple Of prescription. ri

THE spectacle of the sun shining
at midnight attracts many foreign
ers to Swedish Lapland during the
month of June. For six weeks
there is scarcely any light in the
north of Sweden; the sun never sets
and the soil, constantly heated, pro-
duces In a month and a half barley
and other crops, At that time Of
the year the Laplanders pen up
their reindeers and move their huts
towards the cultivated fields. Being
very hospitable, they greet with
Joy the arrival of tourists, who gem
orally meet at Mount delaware, 148
kilometres from Lulea. From that
hill, which is $50 metres high, the
beautiful spectacle of the "midnight
suns can be admired in better con-
ditions than from any other place.
The oath of June is the day selected
for the ascension; 1t is the longest
day in the year, the sun being
twenty-five hours above the hori-
zon. This year the oath of June
was not favored by fine weather
and, owing to cloudy sky, the sun
was not visible at midnight, but the
following days travellers were well
rewarded for their trouble, the sun
shining brightly at midnight.

So MUCH for the circumstances
under which the letter was written;
and now, as to its substance, Gen.
Hancock's friends may well invoke
public Judgment whether Il docs
not prove him to be more than
mere soldier who knows nothing
outside Of the routine of military
command and Obedience-whether,
indeed, IL does not prove him to
have been a conservative, high
minded, cOOl-headed, law-ablding
citizen In one OF the most perilOus
periods through which the repub-
lie ever has passed. It Ia a letter
which displays something moro
than common sense. IL testifles to
the possession Of qualifications OF
craftsmanship much more satisfac-
torily than the letter Of acceptance

is ring In some of It's passages
which sounds like an echo of the
spirit of the great constitutional era
OF the republic, the era of Washing
ton and Jefferson. All of Gen. Ham
cocks published papers 50 far--and

may be his deficiencies there Is no
tendency TO demagogism I'm sis dis

The indications of the popular
pulse in reference to the presiden-
tial candidates are Enthusiastically
for Hancock. The New York City
correspondent Of the Boston Her
aid, an independent journal with
republican proclivities, thus notes
his own observations. He says;
"If one were to take tour among
the common people in and around
New York he would find it for
Hancock from circumference to
center. The thoughtful and 0bserv-
ing, as we'll as the ignorant and en-
thusiastic, insist that he will carry
the state. The cheers which go up
from the Coney Island boats when
they pass the huge collar-box for
tress on Governors Island are some
thing of an indication of the pOpu-
lar feeling. No less so is the fact
that one of the medallion manlifae-
lures in New York is selling a
thousand of his little Hancock min
iatures all over the country where
heseIls hundred of Garfild's. And
everywhere we go there are like
indications of the Hancock boom.
Whether it extends into the rural
districts or not / am unable to say,
but it is very prevalent in the lne-
tropolis and suburbs"
Such indications of popular feel
ing for Gen. Hancock are not con-
fined to New York City. They ex-
ist over the whole country. The
current OF thought and feeling is
for the election of the man who
fights and writes so well, and whose
political principles accord so prop
erly with the American idea OF
popular liberty.
