One of the best sentences in Gen.
Hancock's letter of acceptance, which
left upon the mind the same impress
sion of neatness and vacancy as a school
boys copy-book, was that in which the
candidate Of the Democracy demanded
"a full vote, free ballot and fair count. =
1t was an excellent sentiment, to which
every Republican would heartily sub
scribe. But Gen. Hancock's letter pro-
fessed to be statement of Democratic
principles. With the platform to which
it was response it is an appeal to the
country to trust the so, 900 Offices Of the
Government in the hands of the Demo-
cratic party. The question for voters,
therefore, is, not whether the declare
ton is sound one, but whether. being

WAY Are There Unmarried women

why Are There Unmarried Women
One of the greatest social problems Of
the day is to explain why there are so
many manageable women who never
get married Some say it islowing to an
excess In numbers of women oyer men,
in consequence Of which there are not
husbands enough to go round. This
however, is disproved by statistics. Take
the worll through, and figures show
that there are as many men init as there
are women. Others attribute it to the
expensiveness of modern life. Men do
not marry because, it is said, they can
not afford to. But the fact is that no
man who truly loved awomanever hest
tated to become engaged to her and
eventually marry her because, of pow
erty. There are cold blooded men, with
no idea of any feeling for a woman
stronger than languid admiration, who
may be deferred from assuming what
they regard as bufdenin the shape of
wife, unless assured of "a liberal income,
but most are not so calculating. 9th
ers, again, attribute the evil to women's
fastidiousness. They expect too much
in husband, and, while waiting for an
impossible shadow, let the possible sub.
stance slip through their fingers. This
is libel on the sex. AS a rule, they
are no more fastiaiouB than men are,
and are just as susceptible as men to,
that enchantment of love which invests
its object with every perfection and COW
ers up every fault. So far as men and

The strength of women hes in their

rarely one of their virtues. AS a rule,
they are inclined to be restless and ex-
citable, allowing their judgments and
actions to be swayed by quick emotions
of all kinds but, above all, it is In their
hopefulness and their endurance that
they find their chief power. Who is

What mother or sister with. deep and
ardent love for such viii ever cease to
cherish hope or endure suffering on

Every one of these States at

cock knows it. Every Democrat knows

the illustration, let us say that these
five States are fairly Republican, They
give, all told, thirty-nine electoral votes,

What became of the Republican party
in Alabama in 1878? It is said that they
ran no ticket because defeat was newt
able. Are parties in the habit of doing
this? Do Democrats give up voting in
Vermont, or Republicans in Missouri

bama had been taught by midnight
murders and whippings, by social ostra-
cism, and by the tyranny of employers,
that the less they had to do with politics
the better. This is the kind of g free

However, the possibility Of having Mr.. Ma

poise to the certainty Of encountering his OPP
position before the assembling of the conven-

THE CONVENTION.

In our columns to-day will be found all
night. The reports are volumiAous, need
lessly so, but, ne nevertheless, we present them
entire, deeming that a condensation would be
unwelcome in the intense interest taken by
all parties in the proceedings at Chicago. 1t
Will be observed that thus far the convention
has divided only upon one line, that separat-
ing the Graut and anti-Grant elements during
the work of organization, their comparative
strength being shown on Clayton's motion to
accept the minority report on the Alabama
case to be BOG Grant, to $40 anti Grant. Rec
ogniZing in the third-tern candidate the most
formidable opponent to be encountered by
their respective iAvorites, the different fac
tons have united i'll u preliminary crusade
against him, the contested cases being 50 de-
cided as to make a very material reduction of
Grants estimated strength. But when bal
lotlng begins, and the last "bulletin'' informs
us that nominations were being made at 4 D..
m. on Saturday, the heterogeneous elements
united at first by the common bond of their
hostility to Grant, will fall apart, each section
to the support of its favorite-the Blaine men
to vote for their candidate; the Minnesotians
to support Window, and so with the follow
ers of Sherman, Washburne and Edmunds.
Grant will then be found ahead of tho mos,
formidable rival, and the lead he will be very
apt to keep. 1t is sometimes remarked that
Grant must be nominated on the first ballot,
if at all, but we see no ground for this assulnp-
ton. The convention contains MANY dele
gates amenable to other motives than pure
patriotism. and when we remember Grants
reputation for remembering his friends; -
when we consider the widespread belief or
confidence i'll his "luck > and reflect upon
the anquestionable fact that an immensely
powerful influence at work will be the desire
to be found on the winning side, it would be
very strange indeed were Grant to receive ne
accessions of strength when the final break
comes. Up to last accounts Grants chances
are 10y 10 means desperate.

OUR NEXT

With the approach Of the Ides Of Septem-
Der, the question, "Who is to be our next
Delegate ?" is sometimes asked by persons
capable of diverting for moment their atten-
ton from the all-abso:bing interest taken
just now in national politics. Although no
definite response can be made to this query, it
may be interesting to remember the declara-
ton made by Mr.. Masinnis before the Terri
torial Democratic convention at Virginia
CITY IN the autumn of rs. On that occasion,
upon receiving an uncontested nomination to
Congress, Mr.. Msginnis, in acknowledgment
OF the honor conferred, briefly addressed the
convention. In the course of his speech his
policy and intentions respecting the future
representation of Montana in Congress were
very candidly expressed in the statement, that:
"As long as the people of Montana saw fit to
