The victories that Gen. Hancock gained over
soldiers constitute no ground for appealing 10
them to vote for him. We were in earnest III That
war and its memories are tender and sacred 10 Us.
We willing 10 refer 10 his achiev for the
purpose of showing thai lie always stood 10 his
duty, whatever might have been the situation !;
thai men NAV learn from the past wnlt his course
will be In the future. But over all else the veil
should BE- drawn.
Evidently there has got to be a lay ing out
of the campaign according TO latitude. Here,
at the North, where the votes of nion SOL
diers are wanted, the orators will dwell on
Hancock's splendid service in the field, and
claim that he did more actual work to sup
press the rebellion than Grant, Sherman,
Sheridan, Thomas or any other of our great
Generals. 1t will he, at the North, all talk
of Hancock and nothing of the record of
the Democratic party. But at the South
u veil must be drawn over Hancock
record, and the orators will tell how near the
''lost cause" came to winning in the late
Congress- and that Hancock is only Il fig
ure-head, the innocent looking brush wood
behind which rebel battery is masked
Nothing will be said of IIancock's victories
during the late distressing unpleasantncss,
but when it is necessary 10 speak of the can
didate, the speakers will dwell upon mis- sub
serviency to the Democrats of the South,
when he succeeded Sheridan at New Or
leans and was chiefly anxious to do what
ever would be most pleasing to the cx-rebels
and would most assist them in getting again
into political power.
The national Democratic committee will
have to exercise great discretion it sending
out its campaign literature. 1t will never
do to send TO the North the choice eulogies
of the party designed for the South, and it
would be very hazardous to distribute in the
South the glowing praise of Hancock's war
record which is designed exclusively for
Northern circulation.
A well must be drawn" In fact two
wells are needed, one for the North and one
for the South. -Hdrtford Co,TaHt.

crops OF all kinds have suffered for the want
of rain, and this drought has extended

A HORSE CASE
&22j at Stake.

On Friday last George Keller, of York
county came to Lancaster having in his
possession good mare and sleigh, which
he tried to sell to several dealers. He
finally found customer in Isaac w.
Mason, who purchased the team for S225
giving in payment check or note pay
able in thirty days. Mason sold the sleigh
for $40, and was negotiating for the sale Of
the mare, when Harry Gundaker (who
had loaned Mason 500 some years ago al d
had not been repaidD made a levy on
the mare to satisfy his claim. In
the meantime Constable Lentz,
supposinS the team to have been
stolen, arrested Keller. He soon learned,
however. that Keller belonged to re-
spectacle family, his father being an cx-
tensive farmer in York county, and he was
released The mare is still held to satisfy
Gundaker's claim, and if she belonged to
Keller when Mason purchased her she
will be sold. If it should happen, which
is not probable, that she belongs to
some one else, the owner may claim her
by writ of replevin. Meantime Gundaker,
Keller and Mason arc all on the anxious
bench, awaiting further developments.

Balloon for St. Louis.

A private letter received in this city an
nounces that Prof. Chas E. Wise, the
@ronaut, late of Lancaster, has received an
order for building a very large balloon for
a gentleman in St. Louis, with Which to
make an ascension from that citythe coming
season. The tragic fate of the veteran
8ronaut, Prof. John Wise and his young
companion Burr, who assembled from St.
Louis and were lost last summer, has not
in any degree checked the passion for bal
looming, or the belief that science will dis
cover means to makeHrial navigation as safe
and expeditions as it is infinitely more
charming than water navigation.
There is some talk of having an ascen-
sion from Lititz on the Fourth of July.
When shall we have another ascension
from Lancaster?
