National Republican., 1880-10-01

that are sent broadcast over the country to
dishearten the republican party. Turn u
deaf ear and a blind eye to them all. Give
no heed to them, but 80 right on fighting
for victory until the day of election, and it
is yours. The enemy cannot make con-
quest of this government if republicans
only fight valiontly TO the end of the
chapter Dismiss all doubt and all fear
and fight the good fight and keep the faith,
and all will come out right.
IT was called greeting" to HANCOCK
democrats, but it sounded more like an
order TO stand aud deliver"
WE have heard much democratic howl
ing about the assessment of oilice-holders." !"
The democratic organs greeting is in
tended ns an assessment of expectant
office.holders.
II the greeting" is intended to deceive
the republicans into relaxation of effort
to rescue Indiana from the grasp of the
democratic party, it will fail. We are
going right along with the work.
So Mr. TffDEN only sent in his beggarly
$25,00O last week And Judge HlLToN
didn'l give ono-twentieih part ofthe 100000
credited to him! Well, well! we are
almost tempted to say there's nothing true
but heaven.
SOME of the democratic leaders are pretty
mad at HUTcHINs for giving away" the
poverty of the party. There is no doubt
but that "bed rock has been reached
financially by the democracy, and that
HUrcHINs was put to the front to sound
the alarm instead of BARNUM.
HUGH MCCULLoCn, LINCoLN's secretary
of the treasury, is a notable instance of the
return of the independents" to the repub-
lican party. In 1876 he was for TTLDEN.
He is now heartily for GARFIELD and
would consider his defeat n great mislor-
tuno to the business interests of the
country
THE Hebrews of the country, particu-
larly of New York city, will doubtless re-
member on election day the fact that Judge
HILToN, the Manhattan Beach hotel man
ayers and other "Jew haters are working
industrously for the success of HANCOCK.
The democratic party is the party of pro-
scription.
A WRITER in the Philadelphia Press
quotes Hon. w. MCCANDLEss rs saying in
his Grafton last year at Gettysburg that the
victory WAS not due to any general on the
field, but to the splendid genius of GEORGE
b. MCCLELLAN. So they go; first MEADE
then MCCLELLAN, then HANCOCK. Who
wrote Beautiful Snow?
If Indiana is likely 10 give ga clear
democratic majority over all y if Ohio i,
"soumdly democratic at this hour" ind i
" the TILDEN men of New York are more
strongly for HANCOCK than they were fol
"TILDEN in 1876" to say nothing of tho
republicans who are more enthusiastic fol
HANCOCK than our own people" wha
earthly use has the democratic campaign
committee for more money? Why this
greeting?
Ex-Governor SHEPHERD is now citet
as having swung out for HANCOCK. The
medium of this information is not the mos
reliable in the world though it may be so
However, be that fact as it may, would il
be strange that a prominent resident o
Mexico should desire to sec the United
States Mexcauized? In Mexico the gov
ernor is as harmless politically us he woulC
be in the District of Columbia, for he share!
as largely in the rights and privileges o
American citizenship rs he would here.
THE New York HerdM pays the following
handsome compliment to Secretary EvARTs
The secretary of state has reason to be salts
fed with his audience aud the reception i
gave him. Without any of the usual means o
attracting people to a public meeting-wiLh
out posters, without music, without rockets
without professions bearing tOrchlights-th'
vast hall of the Cooper union was fllct
within less than ten minutes after the door
were opened. A simple announcement in th'
newspapers but one day in advance suiIiced Il
collect clustering crowds around the entrance
to the hall, eager and anxious lest they shOulC
fail TO obtain seats. This was great trbu;,
to Mr. EvARTs' well.knOwn success in enter
tanning and divcrting public audiences.
