But nothing can happen to save the bank
rupt republican party from the fate justly its
due. With fifteen years of trial it has failed
to restore anything like good feeling between
the north anu south, and now the people feel
like entrusting to other hands this all-import-
ant work, which mus: be accomplished if we
are ever again to form a reunited people in
fact as well as in name. The people are tired
of sectional hate; tired of the bloody shirt;
tired of boss government aud alarmed at the
republican drift towards Capitalization In
the subversion of our state governments to a
strong central power alrogating to itself priv
ileges not conferred by the Constitution, they
see a change from the system under which
the nation has grown prosperous and power
full to a system altogether new and beset with
untitled and unknown dangers. As a remedy
for this state of things the people are about
to call npon the republican party to close up
its books and give an account of its steward
ship. On the second of November the DEM
ocrats will sweep the country in one of those
peaceful revolutions which have occurred
with a tolerable degree OF regularity through
out American history.

of counting an instance il furnished In the
candidacycf that doughty warrior n war
horse on general principles, Col. Sanders, the
republican candidate for delegate to Congress.
In 1867 Sanders was q candidate on the same
ticket and for the same Office. After such a
term as that of Mclean Montana felt some
what unfriendly towards the party RESPONSE
BILE for his delegateship, and it is almost GER
tain that any reputable and reliable repnbli-
can would have been elected. But Sanders
was just a little too much of a coed thing
and his candidacy led to his political
widowhood. This year the "~widower' is
on hand ready to resume his long interrupted
courtship. Somewhat angular, and bearing
unmistahable evidences of many a severe
bout in the ~inserest of temperance, the
would-be bridegroom is, nevertheless, very
ardent in his professions, and promises are
about the last thing in which he is deficient.
But the people of Montana are a little too
shrewd to choose for delegate a man whose
principal talent is the talent of abuse !: whose
chief faculty is the faculty Of making enc
mics who is constant only in being incon-
slant, and of whom his best friends could
feel confident with regard to one quality only
his thorough unreliability. At the close of
the present campaign we may expect to see
the republican dame carefully shelv-
ing Mr.. Sanders as a gentleman from whom
no further advances are desired.

HANCOCK AND HIS TRADUCER,
He Will Reply to Grants Attack.

New YORK, Oct. GA Telegram reporter
to-day interviewed Gen. Hancock in refer
ence to the recent opinions expressed by Gen.
Grant. He said:
"My knowledge of what Gen. Grant has
actually said is confined to what may be call
been attributed to him as his utterances in
newspapers. Now | shall take pains TO ascer-
tain from authoritative sources just what he
has said about me-
"Wiil you apply TO him personally for in
formation ?"
THAT would be the best course to pursue,
l suppose, to get at the truth"
''If you find that the ex-president has made
assertions derogatory to your character will
you replyw
eyes, if necessary"
"Then l am to understand that if Gen.
Grant has assailed your character, as he is
reported to have done, you will make a cener-
al denial 2"

After | have sitted the matter to the bottom
and decide upon a reply | will prepare care

tion,'

personally from Gen. Grant III this matter ?i
I'll cannot say, but l shall lose no more
time than can help in getting at the bottom
of this matter"
"What reason have you for doubling that
Gen. Grant attacked your character"
"In the first place, he lacked good grounds
upon which to attack ME. and in the second
place he is all old soldier and a graduate of
West Point, and as such lie could not. It
seems to me, SO far overstep the bounds of
truth and gentlemanly propriety as to ATTEMPT
TO liJure me even in private conversation"
keporter-Cannot you authorize me to
make a formal reply to Grant in your behalf
to-day?
Hancock-No, sit; as l have already told
you, must know just what kind of a replv

DO YoU REMEMBER ?

Because we once drove together
In the moonlight over the snow,
with the sharp bells ringing their tinKhns
chime,
So many year ago.
so. now as hear them Jingle,
The winter comes back again.
Though summer stirs IN the heavy trees,
And the wild rose scents the lane.
We gather our furs around us.
Our faces the keen air stings,
Almost as If we had wings.
Enough is the Joy Of mere living,
W are simply happy care not WY
We are happy beyond our Will.
The trees are with icicles jeweled.
The houses with marble whiteness are roofed,
in their windows the home-lights glow.
Through the tense. clear sky above US
The keen stars d ash and geam.
And wrapped In their silent shroud OF snow
The broad fields lie and dream.
Ring the bells as our good morse gees,
And tossing his head, from his nostrils red,
His frosty breath he blows.
Aud closely you nestle against me,
have slipped-'tfs SO bitter, bitter cold
1t is only TO keep us warm.
K,
Aud suddenly--you know why
I stooped-could / help it?--You lifted your
face
we kissed-there was nobody nigh.
And no one was ever the wiser,
And no one was ever the worse;
The skies did not fall-as perhaps they ought
And we ht ard no paternal curse.
/ never told it-did you, dear?
From that day to this;
But my memory keeps In its utmost recess,
lo,Il
I dare say you have forgotten,
Twas SO many years ago;
Or you may not choose to remember 1t,
Time may have chaL ged you so.
The world SO chills iis and kills US,
Perhaps You may scorn to recall
That night, with It's innocent impulse
Perhaps you'll deny it all.
But If of that fresh, sweet nature
The veriest vestige survive,
You remember that moments madness
