New York, 28.-Following is fair
specimen Of the usual Sun comment:
Ancient Mariner Thompson and Flying
Dutchman Schurz are both in San Fran
cisco this week. The venerable salt Of
the navy department, who rescbed the
city last Saturday, processes to have gone
there in order to examine Mare Island
navy yard, the harbor of which is filling
up with sediment; perhaps thinking that
ne can see further into the mud than local
experts. The flying Dutchman is nom
inally looking after his much-loved
wards, the redmen, perhaps in order to
persuade the Pacific Coast Indians not to
gorge themselves with camas root. It
would mol be wholly surprising if this
pair of fraudulent worthless should find
leisure, in the midst of their intense de-
votion to the Indians and the island, to
make few political speeches to help
carry California for DaGolyer Garfield.

The Union League of America.

The Union League 10 America is preparing
to call out the host of freemen which have
been entered on its rolls, and at meeting of
its executive committee in Philadelphia, last
Thursday, completed its plans for the cam-
paign. The following declaration Of princi-
pies was unanimously adopted and ordered to
be made public:
The Union League of America again de-
clares its faith and accepts the duties of the
hour.
Resolyed, That we believe that the integrity
of the Union, the continued prosperity of the
whole country, the stability Of our monetary
litical and public rights depend upon the as
cendancy and perpetuity of Republican ad-
minstration.
We commend the Republican party because
it was the offspring OF American ideas and the
growth of conscience.
We commend the Republican party because
it decreed universal suffrage and equality be-
fore the law.
We commend the Republican party because
it has impartially executed the laws, reduced
the public debt, faithfully collected and honesty
applied the revenue.
We commend the Republican party because
it has sustained the honor and dignity of the
United States among the governments OF the
world.
We commend the Republican party because
it is the only party which is in favor of educa-
ting the youth of America in order that intelli-
gence NAV be the standard of American citi-
zenship, and the bulwark to free government.
We commend the Republican party because
it is the only party now in favor of rewarding
American labor with high wages, comfortable
homes and free schools.
We entreat the men who saved the Union
by their valor to vote for the candidates of the
party that equipped and sustained oar armies
in the field until the old flag waved in triumph
over every citadel of treason, and since then 1t
has been the faithful guardian of the widows and
orphans and the frieTd of the disabled soldiers
and sailors of the Union armies.

AN old army friend of Gen. Hancock,
who went over to Governors island recent
ly to call on him, at the invitation of con-
federate brigadier, says that Hancock thus
opened his mind to him about being a can
didate 'There is nothing congenial about
this thing. These miserable devils worry
me to death. They come here from all parts
OF the country, even from Arkansas and
Texas, otell me how many votes they can
command. Worst of all, they want to ex-
act pledges that will give them offices for
their services. Did you ever see such a
hungry crowd?" ''It does look little hun
cry, general" said l. Hungry! hungry!
hungryv' he interrupted; 81 should say it
was. Why, my dear friend, this thing is
worse even than Gettysburg. They take me
in front aod rear. They outfank me, and,
worst of all, they cut off my retreat The
locusts ct old are as nothing to them"

What the Republicans Have Done.

When the Republicans came into control of,
the government they were confronted by an
armed rebellion; the authority of the nation
was detied in nearly one half the union; they
were opposed by hostile and rebel govern
ment; the army and navy of the Union were
dispersed; the arsenals were depleted: the
treasury was beggared; the credit Of the gov
ernment was destroyed, and all this was the
work of the Democratic party. The Re-
publican party proved equal to the perilous
situation
They denounced Southern notification.
They declared secession impossible.
They affirmed the supremacy Of the nation.
They called out the militia to sustain the
laws.
They raised enormosu armies and nayies to
suppress rebellion.
They encouraged enlistments.
They raised money TO sustain the war.
they emancipated the slaves.
They armed the negroes
They sustained and upheld President Lin
coin.
They conquered the rebellion.
They preserved the Union.
They were merciful to the captured rebels.
They 1isbanded and restored the vast army
to peace footing.
They adopted the constitutional amenn-
ments, giving freedom, the franchise, and civ
II rights to the slaves.
They cared for the soldiers aud sailors of the
Union. - -
They cared for their widows and orphans
They found war and restored peace.
They found slavery and gave freedom.
They abolished the ''wild cat" currency of
the States,
They gave the people the best secured cur
They have saved the people from the loss of
millions of dollars each year in broken bank
bank bills.
They have saved the people millions of dol
lars each year by making the currency of equal
value in every part of the country.
They have restored the credit Of the govern
ment.
They have reduced the interest bearing debt
of the nation $627 ,537, ,19l
They have reduced the annual interest
charges from Sl5O,9l7697 to S19,633,9Sl, a saw
ing of S71 ,343,716 year.
They have maintained the national faith and
honor.
They passed the Resumption act.
They defeated initiation and opposed fiat
money"
They made the greenback worth 100 cents
on the dollar. 60
They have sostered American Industries
They have protected American mechanics.
They have collected the public revenues at a
less percentage of cost than ever before.
They have handled the moneys Sbf the gov
ernment at less percentage of loss than ever
before.
They have secured peace for the country at
home and abroad
They have made the name American re-
spected in all quarters of the world.
They have secured for the Union foremost
place among the nations of the earth.
And all this the Republicans have done in
the face of Democratic obstruction and hostili-
ty.
Why should party with this record he set
aside to give place to party, that opposed and
resisted these measures every step, and would,
if possible. have defeated every one of Sess
Republican acts of wisdom, to which the coun-
try to-day owes its unity and prosperity?

One of the Forged Returns.

Onr local page puts before our readers one
OF the devices resorted to by the Fusionists
last Winter to secure office The device in
this particular case was forgery. The cir
cumstances under which it became necessa-
ry to forge the Hebron return in order to
certify Henry G. Walker as County Com
missioner for Oxford County are fully set
forth in connection with the fac simile We
publish. We submit the shameful story 10 our
readers and ask their opinion of the men who
placed in positions of official trust and sworn
to faithful discharge of their duty, resort
ed to such criminal means to carry their base
ends.
That opinion the people of Maine are
called upon to express at the ballot-box in
September, for the Tabulators and their in
struments and allies and abettors are up for
judgment. They are leading the party of
Fusion, party which has repeatedly hon
ored them in its nominating Conventions
held through the Spring and Summer,
which has rallied in a body to their defense,
and which applauds their wicked audacity
in attempting to override the will of the
people. A victory for Fusion is a vindica-
ton of the Tabulators, an approval of the
suppression of original returns and the sub
sttution of others in their place, of forgery
and other forms of fraud, and of the en-
ployment of force to uphold crime. 1t is an
issue which dwarfs all other State issues,
for if the result hereafter is to depend upon
the canvassing board and not upon the votes
thrown, we may as well do away with bal
loting and turn over the government of the
State to the dictatorship of Council of
Seven which has the power to perpetually
renew itself.

James Buchanan's Helplessness.

During the trip the judge related the follow

my appointment to this place. 1 called upon
President Buchanan in the evening at the
White House. We had long known each 9TH

had been in Pittsburg, and we had met in par

wears. During the conversation of the even

events then taking place. 1 answered him truly

The Portland Oregonian says: As there
is no Democratic newspaper of general cir
culation in this State, and as the masses of
that party can ascertain what is going on
only through the Oregonian, we deem it a
proper thing to say that the several local
organs of the party in Oregon have given up
all hope of carrying this State for Hancock,
and are devoting their entire energies to the
canvass in distant states.
