J. Jewett, an ex.Congressman from

cock is the only Democratic candidate
besides Jewett whose prominence has
lately increased, and Hancock's growth
has been spasmodic and in spots-not
steady and widespread as Jewett's has
been. Some of Jewett's strong points
are his probity, bis soundness as o
Democrat, his executive ability, his
financial standing and his clean pohti'
cal record. Jewett has been in politics
enough to give him the prestige Of a
public man, and has been out long
enough to overthrow any charge that
is a political hack. He is eminent in
bis business. He IL above the ordinary

A Coon LICK.-The editor of the
Clinton Democrat hits some fellows be-
low the belt in this way: at is an
nounced that Mr.. Wallace and bis
friends are trying to get control Of the
State Convention to carry it against
Tilden. Hence we have terrible
howl against him as one who is doing
a great wrong, and abuse is heaped
upon his devoted head. But those
other fellows who are working for
Tilden, do not regard the part they
are taking as anything but the right
thing. II is no harm for them to ad.
vocate rilden, but it is a crime for Mr..
Wallace TO advocate Hancock or any
other man. 1t seems that they deny
him the freedom of political action
which belongs to every citizen, and
claim for themselves the right to do
as they please. The whole extent Of
bis offense is just this exercise Of politi-
cal freedom, and il it had been in &C.
cord with them, instead of against,
there would have been no words OF
blame for him" Those fellows as.
sumo that the Senator has no rights,
except the right to be assailed by
blackguards and political whelps.
