ALABAMA AND KENTUCKY.

Elections for State and county officers took
place in Alabama on Monday, and the Demo
Gratis made clean sweep, carrying the State
by more than G0,0Oo majority over Republi.
cans and Greenbackers combined. General
Weaver, Greenback candidate for President,
had canyassed the State and had announced
that neither party would have more than 900
majority. Weaver has more enthusiasm than
knowledge, for he announced in Texas that
he expected to carry quite number Of States,
including Alabama in his list, and throw the
election of President into the House of Rep.
resentatives.
There were elections in Kentucky the same
day, for local officers, and there, too, the
Democrats made clean sweep.
These are the first elections since the presi
DENTAL nominations, and the campaign opens

Philadslphia's Praudulen, Vote.


The Republicans complain SO much oil
the Democratic frauds 10 New York and
Baltimore, that one who reads Republican
journals exclusively would think that it is
much-cheated party. They never com
plain Of frauds in Philadelphia or Pitts
burg. New York has 100000 more
population than Philadelphia, yet Phila-
delphia has $4,000 more voters on its
registration books, which, il the registra-
ton is honest, would give that city 225, 900
more population than New York has. In
other words, the registered vote Of Phila-
delphia is large enough for a population
$4,000 greater than that city possesses.
Philadelphia is ruled BY Republicans aud
all the election machinery is in Republican
hands, aud the election returns there are
never made up until the interior counties
are heard FROM. This is doue in order that
the count can be made large enough to
ovcr-balanee the Democratic majority 10
tho State outside Of the city.

Haneock's letter to Gen. Sherman, dur
ing the exciting times Of 1876, has been
made public, and We reproduce it this
morning Il is not the reasonable doeu-
ment the Republican press iuiimated it
was, but proves to be document that viii
be as formidable in this campaign as any
thing that he could have deliberately writ
ten for the purpose. Order No. 40 does
not breathe more constitutional doctrines,
and this letter, private one to brother
army officer, and not for public circulation,
must, like that order, commend him to all
lovers Of our republican form Of govern
ment, which recognizes the supremacy Of
the ballot and subordinates the military to
the iyilpower. Gen. Hancock says moth
ing Of siding with and supporting Gov.
Tilden, but merely refers to the response
bili.y Of Gen. Sherman, ia certain contin.
gencies, aud then gives his views, aud cor
rect ones, too, upon the modes Of determ-
lining the presidential question, as provided
in the constitution. Further on he takes
occasion to express his disapproyal Of the
reckless and unlawful use Of the army in
certain States, and adds that, by reason Of
such unlawful use, the army has fallen into
disfayor with the people.
When the letter was first mentioned
Gen. Hancock said he scarcely remember
ed it, but he consented to its publication,
saying II never wrote anything am afraid
Of having known aud that | would not
stick to. Gen. Hancock is ike the dia-
mond--thc more he is rubbed the brighter
he shines. The Republican press are
welcome to any consolation they can ex-
tract from his letter to Gen. Sherman. Il
cannot but rebound to his credit and add
more voters to his already overwhelming
column Of supporters. The Baltimore
Americaa, while commencing the sound
ness Of the views expressed in the letter,
resorts to the mean subterfuge of saying
there must be another letter from Hancock
to Sherman. After clamoring for its pub
LEGATION, and the elamor being answered by
making il public, since it adds to, rather
than detracts from, Gen. lIaneock's stand
ing as a statesman aud a patriot, to say that
there must be another letter is not honor
able; it is not fair.
If there be other letters 10 existence
from Gen Hancock on public affairs, the
Republicans win not likely ask for their
publication, Their 6rst effort was so dis
ns,rous to their cause, that the work Of
unearthiBg his letters will not be 50 vigor-
ously prosecuted hereafter.

fthe Hancock tide continues to rise
IN Pennsylvania until the election like it
has since the Cincinnati convention, the
iwenty-niue electoral votes Of that State
win surely be enst for Hancock and Eng
lish. Notwithstanding the fraudulent reg
istration in Philadelphia, Hayes only car
ried the city by 5000 in 1876, and his
majority in the balance Of the State was
but 2,s70. If the vote we're taken now,
we believe Hancock would carry the State,
and Democratic majority Of10,000 there

are closely watching political events in

We owe an apology to our lady readers
for occupying with political matter much
of the space usually filed with misceila-
neous reading. The contest this year is
Of more than ordinary importance, and the
men arc terribly in earnest and desire to
be informed upon the leading political
events. Gu the first page is an account Of
the great union ratification meeting in New
York, over which Mr.. Tilden presided,
and in which both wings Of the Democra.
cy in that State united, together with the
speeches Of Tilden, Ewing aud Randall
On the inside We give place 10 the letters
Of acceptance of Hancock and English and
the letter of Hancock to Sherman, three
able documents which will play an impor-
tant pant is this campaign. These articles
should be read by the ladies also, for they,
too, should not be Indifferent to the result
in November, as so much depends upon it,
aud these letters will help them to under
stand aud comprehend the contest.
