and "energy" simply stand for fresh
"fun at the fair" and as pledged that
the "best men and tool chestso will
be on hand at the polls to secure that
''free ballot which the Democratic
platform so eloquently demands.
After all is said and done there is
very little enthusiasm among the
local Democracy over the nominal
ton of Hancock. At first there were
some signs of delight but the reaction
has already set in and there is a "cool-
ness" observable. On the contrary
Republicans are in good spirits and
confident of success, determined to
do their best 20 secure the election of
their noble and honored standard
bearer.
The New York Herald says that
lone of the keenest of political OBJ.
servers suggests that Hancock's chief
weakness in the struggle for the
Presidency will be the fact that he is
a representative of the West Point
idea. The old jealousy between the
volunteer and the regular army SER
vice is sure to be revived, and will
deprive the Democrats of thoueands
of votes which, under the inspiration
of simple patriotism, might count
for the hero of Gettysburg. The en-
thusiasm over the name of Hancock,
he thinks, was at flood. tide imme-
diately after the nomination"

Hon. Milton G. Urner.

By the publication of an extract, in
a Cumberland paper, from private
letter written by Mr.. Urner to
friend, we are glad to learn his will
ingness to accept denomination for
Congress, if the Republicans of this
district so wish.
We say we are glad. not for Mr..
JTrner's sake, but for the sake of the
Republican party of Western Mary
land. Now, as on his first nomina-
ton. he does not put himself forward
for the position. He does not log roll,
nor pull wires to secure his nomina-
tion. He frankly says if he were to
follow his personal inclination and
the demands of private business he
would decline, but that he does not
feel at liberty to refuse nomination,
if The Republicans of the district in
their free and untramt lied judgment
should confer it again upon him.
This is the proper way to talk and
act and we respect and esteem him
the more for it. At this time he is
the best and most available candidate
our party could possibly unto upon.
His record in Congress is without
mistake and altogether acceptable to-
his party. We regard Mr.. Urner as
a very able man, with few superiors
in clearness Of thought, and correct
ness of Judgment. He is candid,
honest and manly, and never hest
tates to go where his convictions lead
him. He is of the Gen. Garfield type
of men, self-reliant, self made, and
the authors of their good fortune.
Besides all this, it is fitting that he
should run on the the ticket with
Gen. Garfield, whom. to our certain
knowledge, he esteems and admirps
over any other man in Congress, with
whom he has been brought into leg
islative and personal contract. We
again congratulate the Republicans
of Western Maryland that they will
be able to present such man as Mr..
Urner for the suffrages of our peogle.
The best men Of all parties ought,
and as we believe, will largely vote
for him-HagerStoa0n Herald and
Torch.

SATURDAY, JULY 10, 1880.

1t seems to be the policy of the
Democrats in this campaign to subor-
dinate all party issues to the one fact
that their candidate, General Han
cock, is coed soldier, and hence
would be good President, and that,
because he was a good soldier, and,
as they say, would make a coed
President, he ought, and shall be
made President. Throwing aside all
party issues, the question arises in
the minds of intelligent voters, what
qualities has this soldier, and what
has he ever done, to recommend him
as the proper man to manage this
Nation. We cannot see one. AS a
General, he faithfully carried out, not
campaigns of his own, but those of
his superior's origination. He did
this well, but no better than other
Generals in the Army. There is
nothing in his military career that
indicates his ability to conceive and
execute great measures or policies of
civil or military government, there is
nowhere shown that steadfastness of
purpose, that fertility of recourse
that distinguished General Grant,
General Sherman and other great
Generals. That he has good abilities
to execute what others originate per-
feet, there is no doubt. But the
President needs to be capable of more
than that. He needs to be a statesman
in its broadcast senss, he needs to
know and understand perfectly the
people he is to govern and the opera
ton OF the government that is to
govern them. Herein we believe
General Hancock is at fault. AS a
statesman, what is his record =? 1t is
one of practical characterization, Of
assertion of his own opinions and be
liefs in opposition to those of the
Constitutional powers of the land
and that too. at time when the
country was Frustrated and in great
danger. We refer to his record as
Governor of Louisiana and Texas in
1867. There he showed plainly his
sympathy with and belief in the
doctrines il took four years to conquer
Is it safe, at this early day, to trust
the Nation into the hands of such
men? We do not believe it is. Th'
Democrats better return to their ole
issues. Those of fraud" and "re
FORM" Upon them they can, at least
be consistent if not victorious.

We have seen evidences of a dis
position to parade before our people
the time and place when General
Hancock, in command of the Federal
forces, overthrow the Confederate
forces. We hope this may be dis
continued. Our people have no
hankering after crew, however it
may be dished. The victories that
General Hancock gained over our
soldiers constitute no ground for APP
pealing to them to vote for him. We
were in earnest in that war, and its
memories are tender and sacred to
us. We are willing to refer his
achievements for the purpose ofshow-
ing that he always stood to his duty
whatever might be the situation,
that men may learn from the past
what his course will be in the future,

The Indianapolis Journal looks at it
in this logical light: Lincoln in
early life was fat boatman and rail
splitter. Garfield was canal boat
driver. Lincoln afterward studied
law, so did Garfield. Lincoln's first
name was Abraham. Gartield's
middle name is Abraham. Lincoln
was nominated at Chicago, so was
Garfield. Lincoln was triumphantly
elected, and 50 will Garfield De.

Letter from Moscow.
Moscow I. 7. March Sth 1880.


En TELLEa. This is Spring; but
the only way we Moscpwtes could
have learned that fact, would have
been by reference to the almanac; as
the signs on the weather guage that
point that way are few and very far
between. This gives to our chronic
grumblers, slight excuse for exercis-
ing their gifts; and they don't fail to
take advantage of it. But if these
gentfy would cgqgsiCier for moment
upon our altitude and our latitude,
they might be induced to look at the
matter i'll more favorable light. On
the Atlantic coast, 5000 feet above
tide water, between AZ and AS, North
latitude is very seldom Invested of its
snowy covering, earlier than the first
of June, and it is no uncommon thing
to find the frost remaining in the
ground the season through. But some
men would grunolc if they were about
to be- hung, and il a pardon should
come to them with word or two
spell d wrong they'd find fault with
the photography.
In business matters, we just pursue
the even tenor of our way, do our duty
by the balance of mankind and make
them do the same by us if we can.
Ous religion seems to stick by us, and
the Moscow sinner who fails to reform
has only himself to blame for it, The
Baptists have a tasty little church,
and now they have secured the Rev.
Mr.. Brown, talanted young minister
of their denomination, who will reside
among us and give US the benefit OF
his instruction, on every alternate
Sabbath both morning and evening.
The reverend gentleman has held forth
to US two Sundays, aud when I re-
mark that Mr.. j. r. Edmundson Sc
cured subscriptions to the amount Of
800 dollars and upwards in less than
two hours, it will convey q clearer idea
than words could do, as TO how well
the preacher did his work. One gen.
tleman subscribed five dollars and then
made donation of fifteen dollars in
cash, out declined TO have his name
made public in connection with the
larger sum. Is it sure sign that q
deed is evil, because the doer thereof
prefers darkness to light! If so few
more sinners like our modest friend
would do no harm to the community,
even though they themielvcs should
be compelled to suffer for their wicked
ness. There is some talk of organic
ing D society in Moscow to promote a
greater degree of taste and style in the
matter of masculine attire, but wheth.
err or not the organization will prove q
success is question that only time can
determine. That there is need of it is
a certainty, but then "a mai.,s man
