FIGURES WORTH CONSIDERING.
The Election Of Hancock and English
y Handsome Majority Assured
New York sun.

New York san.
The Garfield republicans have not
the slightest hope OF carrying single
southern state. This assures 1873 cleo
toral votes to Gen. Hancock. He will
need only II electoral votes in the nor
thern states to complete the requisite
majority Of 1S5. Where can he get
them.
The states of Pennsylvania, Newly DIRK,
New Jersey and Connecticut cast79 vo-
ties, namely: Pennsylvania, %; New Jer-
scy, 9; New York, b and Connecticut
Is. On a straight pull between the
two parties, New Jersey and New \ OrN
are decidedly democrtic and Connect
cut usually inclines III that direction,
while PENNSYLVANIA has been disposed
to go republican. in the spirited con
test of 1876, New York gave rllden and
Hendricks majority OF 3, 0O0,, New
jersey majority of II 900 and Con
necticut amajority of :, 800; but Penn
syIvania went for Hayes by majority
Of II 800.
Under ordinary circumstances these
four states might be expected oYotc in
November next as they did four years
ago. Even such result would more
than suffice to elect Hancock and Eng
lish, for New Jersey, New York and
Connecticut cast so votes, which is
three more than the democratic candi-
dates will need with the whole vote OF
! the south.
But with General Hancock ut the
head of the ticket, circumstances are
not Of an ordinary character as far as
| these four states are concerned. There
are now living in Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, New York and Connecticut at
least two hundred Thousand voters who
served with General Hancock in the
army of the Potomac, while tens OF
thousands Of them, first and last served
under him. The two hundred thous-
and have been with him in many a bat,
tie for the preservation of the union,
and the ten of thousands have seen him
sword in hand, fighting shoulder t.
shoulder with them III the thickest press.
| With General Hancock backed by
the united democracy OF these foul
states, the probability that the extra
soldier vote will prove ample to main
tain the democratic mWorities of 1876
in the three states that went for TildeI
and to capture the 5000 votes in Penn
sylvania that are needed to turn thu
vote over to Hancock, IAust be admit
ted to be reasonably strong.
But we have overlooked Indiana anC
its fifteen electoral votes, which wert
cast for Tilden & Hendricks four year
ago. The state naturally inclines to tn,
democracy. The Cincinnati conven
ton has strengthened the ticket by pla
cling VIM. II. English upon it a
the candidate for vicepresident. II,
is one of the ablest and most pOpula
men IN the state, and his name vii
most likely secure it to the democrat
i'll the preliminary election in October
just as Hendricks secured it in 1876
| This will render the triumph of Hancoc
and English in November by Il hand
some majority both natural and easy

three Pennsylvania George
Gordon Meade, of Pennsylvania, John
Fulton Reynolds, of Lancaster,
ana Winfield Scott Hancock of
Montgomery. Meade and Reynolds
are both gone. Meade died on
November 6, 1872, in the house
presented to his wife by the pc0-
pie of Philadelphia, afterward supple
mented by contribution of 100000
from the same source. Reynolds was
killed in battle on July ,, and is bur

the Democratic candidate for President
of the United States.

Congressman Thos. Ewing: My
information, received from leading
New York Democrats, both of the reg
ular organization and of Tammany,
is to the effect that Hancock will Ger
tainly carry that State by a good
round majority. New Jersey is also
certain, and Connecticut and Indiana
almost equally 50. 1 think our chan
ces are at least even for California,
Oregon and Maine, and we have a
good fighting chance in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin.

How the Country Grows.

The first census of the population of
the United States was taken about one
hundred years ago. 1t was then found
that within our borders there were not
quite four million souls. The present
census no one doubt will show pop
ulation OF fifty millions. When the
Declaration of Independence was pro-
claimed in 1776 our population number
ed only about two millions and half
of souls. The population in 1880 will
be the population of 1916 multiplied
by 20. Should the same ratio of in
crease continue for another century the
mind would sink before the effort of
Imagining the second centennial cele-
bration by monster republic of a
thousand million human beings, yet
such would be the result of multiplying
fifty millions by twenty.

Beck on Hancock.

The Kentucky Senator on being ask
ed as to the success of our ticket said:
Most cXcllent-no, that does not
express 1.-THE ticket means certain
victory. The contest on the part of
the democracy is, as Senator Bayard
terms it, one one of the reunion, where
as on the part of the Republicans it is
waged for the destruction of constitution
al liberty. From every part of the
country the people are spanking out.
The South has perfect confidence in
him, and there he is irresistible. Indi-
ana while indorsing him feels a double
interest iii the success of a ticket where
her esteemed and illustrious son, Eng
lish holds and honorcd place. The
work of Cincinnati Convention healed
all dissentions not alone in New York
but all over the country. There are
no jealousies between the illustrious
men whose names were before that
convention, all is perfect harmony, and
this Is supplemented by the opinion
of those who knew him rs n soldier.

Arthur's Nomination a Disgrace.

Buston Advertiser (EcP)
1t is an ungracions task to find
fault with any action taken by q con-
vention whose main work has been so
satisfactory. But it would be Sinking
the truth not to say that the nomina-
ton for the vice-president is a great
disappointment. Mr.. Arthur is q
representative in his own person of
principles and methods in politics which
large portion of the republican party
utterly condemns unfortunately
he represents nothing else. His name
could add nothing to the ticket, for his
national reputation is the slightest; and
such as it is was acquired in a contest
with President Hayes, in which the
president was in the right and DIr.
Arthur the wrong.

HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF.

Are the people aware how his
tory repeated itself at the close of
our civil war? r, conduct of
the Republican leaders towards
the South having been strikingly
similar to that charged against
the King Of Great Britain in the
Declaration of Independence.
The following extracts from that
instrument will prove our asser-
ton:
"He has dissolved representa-
tive houses repeatedly for OF
posing with manly Grmpess his
invasions on the rights Of the pco-
pie.
lie has erected a multitude Of
new Offices, and sent hilheT
svarms Of Offices to harrass our
people and eat our substance.
lie has kept among us, i'll
time peace, standing armies, with
out the consent Of our Legisla-
lures.
"IIe has affected to render the
military independent of, and gu
pcrior to, the civil power.
"He has combined with Others
to subject us to 4 jurisdiction
foreign to our Constitution and
unacknowledgcd by our laws
giving his assent to their acts q
pretended legislation.
For quartering large bodies oil
armed troops among us;
For imposing taxes ON us with
out our consent;
For suspending our own legis
latures, and declaring themselves
invested with power TO legislatc
for us in all cases whatsoever"
These extracts are sufficient t.
remind our readers of the course
of the Republican party towards
the South during the reconstruc
ZION era. For resisting such as
saults upon the liberties of. the
people by force Of arms, Washing
ton, Greene, lee, Wayne, Marion
and their brethren in arms arc
justly hOnOred as patriots on the
pages Of history. For resistin.
them by the peaceful methods o
the ballot box, the Southern pee
pie have been deemed most dis
loyal" by their Radical op
presSors. What wonder isit thel
that they have rallied enthusiast
ically to the support of that sol
dier and patriot who, soon afte
the close Of the war,declarcd' tn,
great principles of American lit
erty are still the lawful inheri
lance of this people and eve
should be-"
"The right of trial by jury, tn
habeos corpus, the liberty of III
press, the freedom of speech, tn
natural rights Of persons and iii
rights of property must be pre-
served"
Standing on this platform tn
| Democrats of the United State
have added a second Dcclaratio
of independence to that of on
forefathers, and that one whic
shall also live in history.

Pnnishing 4 Hnshand.

A writer IN the San Francisco Post,
who has been a captive among the
Apache Indians, tells this good story of
how wife taught her husband to respect
her: E te5I II, ,gau5 lIo1o
There was an Apache brave who had "a
number of wives, and was in the habit of
whipping them, both from an evil tenn.
per and also as an amusement. Now it
happened that he had just taken another
wife, who was not only young and hand
some, but very strong. When / say strong
as applied to one OF their women, it re-
quires some explanation. The girls, like
the boys among them are brought up
the best way they know how, to make
them vigorous and capable OF, bearing
any amount of fatigue end enduring any
hardships. They are made to tear the
limbs and bought from trees, and break
sticks for the purpose of making the
arms strong. Some of the boughs of
trees they break of it would seem to
white man would almost require the
strength of grizzly bear to break.
The young wife / speak OF had never
been beaten until one day when the In
dian, her husband being In an ll-humor,
struck her several blows. She seemed
somewhat surprised, but turned to hin
perfectly cool, and said: .....,... {.;,,
''Ahl you are joking. You dom mean
that in earnest, of courses" '''" 4"
. "Yes, / do,n said the Indian. h
"Whatl'' said she; "do you say you
were in earnest, really9" @ lg
"Yes," said he, "and I'm gong to
show you am" d. ai.l. rap
He just lifted his arm to strike her,
when quicker than I can tell it: she seized
.lim by both ears and the hair, threw him
on the ground as one would a child, and
with her hands raising his head, beat it
upon the ground until he almost sense
less, begged her for his lite. 4, lg bgiA
She at length relented, but that Indian
never beat wife again, and his other
wives were reioiced in heart at his pun
ishment.

Why Ae Broke His Engagement:

Gambetta is bachelor; but he has not
lived so long without at least contem-
plating marriage. The storyot his en-
gagement to an helress in western France,
and its sudden breaking off, give Us a
fresh glimpse of his character. From the
time of his leaving his humble home in
Cahors, till his rise to the highest rank
of public personages, Gambetta lived
with faithful, loving and devoted aunt,
who had followed him to Paris, and who
made, everywhere he went, pleasant
home fol hlm. She was at once his maid
of-all-work and his congenial compan-
ion; and he was as deeply attached to
her as she was to him. His engagement
to handsome and accomplished girl,
with dot of seven millions, was shock
to the good aunt; but she yielded grace
fully to the inevitable. When the ar
rangements for the marriage were being
discussed, however, the young lady took
it into her head to make 1t condition of
their union, that the old aunt should be
excluded from the new establishment.
She was scarcely elegant enough to adorn
gilded salons. Gambetta explained how
much his aunt had been to him; the rich
beauty was all the more obdurate. Gam
beta took up his hat, and with pro-
found bow, said: "Adieu! We we've
not made to understand each other" So
the marriage was put off forever.-Good
Company. .N
