fy IL. While II Will u0uotiess DC INC hafe-
est fought campaign Of the decade the sit
uation Is not fiatpering to the Democracy,
notwithsts nding the few insignificant defec-
lions In the Republican columns over which
such an ado is made. There is too much
confidence placed in Hsncock's personal
popularity. The campaign has not yet
fairly opened and before it closes the issue
will be forced fiom personal considera-
tons into those of the principles, record
and purposes Of the two parties. The
"Superb Soldier" with his patriotic record,
will be lost sight of behind and under the
Democratic party with its unsavory record
and perilous purposes. Its very strength
the "Solid South" 10 a menace to tho
Union States and will prove to be. outside
Of its vote. an element Of weakness. Even
n polite . canvasssr as Wade Hampton
has already Numbered and is being nailed
to the cross of his assertion at Staunton
that "the Democratic party under Han
cocks lead 10 fighting for the same prin-
"ciples that Lee aud jackson fought for,
land for which the Southern soldiers
"died." All must realize that IL the South
puts away its Presidential ambitions as a
matter of policy and casts its 1873 electoral
votes for Northern Democrat the South
proposes to manage him afterward and Sc
cure by indirection the ends It cannot &C
complish by placing Soutbelo man m
nomination. And Hampton, ipdiscreetjy
enough, but laboripg bard to rallv South.
ern sentiment 20 Hancock In Virginia rent
with local feud, gives the party away IN the
very outset. Ths election Of Hancock is to
secure at the polls that which was lost 10
field. Not all the blood of the Hancocks
can eiface that sediment 1t will be read
and pondered upon and stamped out il
November by the Union soldier vote thai
has been counted upon for Hancock.
Why is New York counted for Hancock
| Ia four out of the six National elections
siuce the Republican party was organized !,
has gone against the Democracy. Last yea
the Republicans polled 4ls. 567 votes in thai
State to 875, 100 by the Democrats, and
John KelIey's 80, 900 Tammanyites are al
| st,ff-necked now as then with bat littl'
prospect OF fusing with the Tilden wing
At the last Indiana State election the Dem
ocrats only polled 194,77o votes against
900, 172 for the opposition, and English IL
| now conceded to be q dead weight on biz
party In his own state. 1t is but few
weeks since voorhees, got political speech
printed In the Record denouncing Republi-
cans for colonlzing Indiana with negroes
to carry the elections and claiming tba
otherwise Indiana was safely Democratic
And now the first colonizer" overhauiec
turns out to Democrat. With judge
Porter heading the ticket for Governor i
Is reasonable that Indiana will elect him 10
October and IL so, Weaver will certainl,
pull OF enough Democratic Greepbackers
in November to secure Garfield electors
PENNSYLVANIA is certain to 60 Republican
as election day is to come. Connection
has, with one exception, always given
majority for the Republican candidates
The Republicans have now . majority OF l

the House. Four years ago the Democrat
had majority in both Houses. 1t 1t no
probable she will chop around now. Cal

no issue now before 1t in which the Demo
Gratis have any advantage, Oregon gaipe'
one Republican Congressman In the recen
election and placed itself IN the Republi
can column. Why arc these States elaine
for Hancock? 10 what way does he con
mend himself more than did Greeley Q
Mcclellan, or what better Is the Demo
cratic party now than then? The simpl
fact is that the Cincinnati Convention wa
80 fearful Tilden would spring semethin
and capture t,even with majority again'
him, that they went pell-mell for Haucoc
to save themselves aud created sudde
and fictitious enthusiasm that Is wearin
ont. Garfield can lose New York an
win. IL he carries New York lie can lo'
Indiana, Connecticut, Maiue, Oregon an
California and win. But Hancock to VI
must carry the Solid South and New Yor
and two or three other States, or losir
New York must carry California, Eevad
Oregon, Indiana, Connecticut, New Jerse
and Maine. .bl
, It will thus bs seen an analysis OF II
