Early in the proceedings the Grand
Forks delegation moved to adjourn. The

T. Mccoy, of Bon Homme, were chosen
delegates to represent Dakota in the
national republican convention at Chi
cago, with Frank NJ. Vets, of Grand

fAlbany Journal

The m anagers of Hancock's campaign must
they made colossal blunder in attempting to
win votes for the Superb by calling attention
to the fact that his rare and radiant raiment
is inclusive of pair of corsets that cost SO %.
The droll attempt to foist the wearer of cor
sets (price 1920 upon the American people as
President, will signally fail. They care more
for substance than style. There is no demand
among them for man with corsets (price
$500 in the White House. For although the
corsets (price $500 that Hancock wears may
be the best known to the trade, and may fit
him like glove, and enable him to ''travel
on his shape" they really are not the sort Of
argument for his election which will weigh
much with common-sense voters. Can it be
possible that his hackers entertain the belief
that when they are asked what are Hancock's
views on the tariff, the currency and related
public questions, they can with any credit to
themselves or their candidate reply, 1--WE
haye to say that General Hancock has no
views upon the finances or the tariff, but then
he wears just the lovelest pair of corsets (price
$500 that were ever SEEM" Where is the in
tellgent Democrat that supposes that the bone
and sinew of this land, the honest yoemanry,
the horney-fisted level-headed farmers, the
sterling mechanics, are persuaded to cast their
ballots for man who is running not on his in
trinsic merits but his extrinsic corsets-price
S3.29. The Democracy have made many ter
rible mistakes during this campaign but this
attempt to get to a Hancock $500 corset boom
is the worst yet.

ALBANY Journal: But the trouble is that
there is really no market for middling good
eggs. An egg TO command the public con-
fidence must be as much above suspicion as
Julius Cesar insisted that Mrs. Julius Caesar
should be. Hancock's letter has by no means
disabused the lublic mind of the idea
that there is absolutely no danger of
the rebel claims being paid if his party,
with him at its head succeed in get
ting into power. 1t has merely shown
the people that Hancock's ''single SELF is
against the payment of the rebel claims
which is a very different matter. The peo-
pie remembering that in case of his election
Hancock will have the screws fiercely put
upon him by the South, and remembering
also that heretofore when the South has
put the screws upon Il Democratic Presi-
dent, he has weakened and done precisely as
she bade him, sagely conclude that the let 1.
ter does not by any means dispose of the
claims. does not by any means negative the
idea that they will not be vigorously pressed
some of these years if the Democracy gain
control of all the branches of government.

Mr.. Cameron's Figures for Garfield.

Senator Don Cameron is of the opinion that
General Garfield will be elected President of
the United States, and that the vote OF the
State OF New York will elect him. This, too,
is the opinion of Secretary Sherman. These
opinions of prominent leaders recall, too,
statement made year ago by Secretry Eyarts,
when he said, ''You can plant compass in
the City Hall park of New York. and the next
President will be elected by the people living
within a radius of fifty miles" Even conced-
ing the Democrats carry Indiana, Ohio and
Maine, prominent leaders like Cameron and
Secretary Sherman still maintain that General
Garfield will be elected. This calculation s
based upon Republican success in the follow
ing States: California, 6; Colorado 8; Connec-
ticut 81 Illinois 21; Iowa IL; Kansas 5; Mas
sachusetts 10; Michigan IL; Minnesota 81 Ne
