General Hancock says that "im-
putations of disloyalty used to be
made against Democrats even when
they were in arms defending their
country" This is not true. Many
patriotic Democrats did go into the
army. large majority of whom came
out of it Republicans, and are 80 to.
day. The loyalty of these men was
never questioned or "impugned,"
but the loyalty of the Democratic
party, as an organization, aeas ques-
toned, and the fact of its disloyalty
proven by its own acts. Search the
proceedings of all of their conven-
lions during the war, and no resolu-
ton condemning it can be found
but, on the contrary, the measures of
the Government to suppress it were
denounced by them.

Contrary to expectation the Re.
publicans of Arkansas have been sue.
cessful, and the Reputation Amend
ment has been defeated ION direct
vote) by a majority OF 1900. The
record of Arkansas. like that of al
most every other Southern State, Is
already black with reputation, and
it is owing to the labors of the Re.
publican party THAT the State has
been spared this additional dishonor.
This is as good "A time as any to re-
member that the Republicans OF
Arkansas organized the campaign
against this amendment, and carried
il through almost entirely without
Democratic help. Only three Dem>
ocrats of any prominence aided them
and these were not seconded by Ell
tier the local leaders or the masses
of the party. The gain for the repu-
tation of the South, as compared with
the grand total OF Reputation al
ready committed, is not great, but
the credit should be placed where IT
belongs.

next session the Democrats controlled
the House, and by refusing to appro.

the appropriations to $l24, ~, 0lO, and
the following year, in order to coerce
the president by failure to pass the
army bill and 10 provide fer other
ne cessary expenses, they reduced the
appropriations to SSS, 1856, 9S3. Il but the
following session. to make good these
deficiencies, and to repair the faults
committed, they appropriated Sl72,-

was appropriated in 1876; and in 1880
they appropriated Sl62, 404 ,647; and

In 1856 the National platform of
the Demrocatic party said: "The
time has come for the people of the
United States to declare in favor of
free seas, and progressive free trade
throughout the world"
1868: "a tariff for revenue upon
foreign imports"
1876: "Wedemand that all Custom

1880: "A tariff for revenue only"
About the only things the Demo-

the last 20 years, are free trade and
States rights.

A Hancock Veteran No Longer.

Upon the organization of your club.
I was among the first to ign its roll
and pledge my support to General
Hancock. AT that time firmly be-
lieved thai such ii course was not only
patriotic, but that his election would
do away with the sectional isSlses
which hayr distracted the country
since the war was also led to be-
lieve that the Republican leaders
were responsible for the delay in the.
settlement and payment of thousands
of claims. of sohIiers for pensions. +
asserted that an administration that
would not make haste to recognize
the rights of those who had sacrificed
in war everything that was dear to,
them for their Cpuntry's sake, was
unworthy of our suppOrt. wast0ld
by you and others that the election
of General Hancock would secure the
prompt payment of all these claims,
and bring peace and prosperity to,
the whole country Bat, my dear
sir. find those promises deusion
and snare. | find that the bitterness.
and hate engendered by the war has.
not oniy hPen intensified by the Sc
ton OF the Southern leaders, but that
the principles which we thought
were settled IN that terrible conflict
are now declared by them to be the
same for which they fought. You
remember that one IF their most res
peeted and influential men, Senator
of the United States, who during the
war was a traitor to the flag which
we both defended, in a speech deIiv-
cred in Virginia in July last in order
to influence the Southern people to
vote for General Hancock, said:
''Consider what Lee and Jackson
would do were they alive. These are
the same principles for which they
fought for four years. Remember
the men.who poured forth their life
blood on Virginia's soil, and Go not
abandon tn IN now. Remember that
upon your vote depends the success
of the Democratic ticket"
You will also remember that
Democratic Congressman from Penn
sylvania has exposed the cause of
the delay, and given the reasons why
the sick and disabled Union soldiers
of the country are deprived of the.
rights which the Government owe.

Confronted by facts like these, |
can no longer give my support to-
General Hancock. / know, if elected,
he will owe his elevation to the
Southern vote.
If he is true man he cannot be
ungrateful to those who have given
him power. The Wade Hamptons

WASHINGTON, October 2.-Private
kilograms from Ohio and Indiana
were received here day by various
parties, and the general tenor was
favorable to Republican successes in
those States. There was no effort at
Boosting or nothing likely to create
false hopes in the DISPATCHES, hut the
sentiment was simply that the party
managers are performing good work
and are more Watchful than were
those who managed affairs in Malhe.
Senators Allison and Ingalls,, now in
this city, are both of the opinion that
the States will be carried after hard
fight, but in each the majorities will
be small. Judge Porter writes that
his canvass for the gOvernorship of
Indiana is progressing satisfactorily.
lie frankly admits that the prospect
was not encouraging at the outset,
but matters are gradually assuming
more cheerful aspect, and the peO-
pie out there are beginning to see that
the Democrats are becoming com
pletely demoralized through the per-
Sonal contentious of their leaders,
and are determined to break away in
many instances from such dissentiOns
rule. Postmaster General Maynard
left here for Indiana tonight, but if
all reports are true there will be very
little work TOR him to do. Indeed,
ne looks upon the trip himself as al
most unnecessary. In little chat
win your CO. respondent this after
noon he said that but for the fact that
he had given his promise to certain
organizations in Indiana to address
them he would have remained here.

Connecticut can safely be counted
as a Republican State in November.
The republican gain of twenty five
towns in the county and municipal
elections on Monday can scarcely he
interpreted in any other way. Com
necticut is great manufacturing
commonwealth, and il is also thor
oughly imbued with honest money
principles. The free-trade plank in
the Democratic national platform and
Gen. Hancock's despatch of congrat
ulation to Plaisted on the supposed
rag baby victory in Maine were a
death blow to the Connecticut De-
nlocracy. And New Jersey stands
in the same position as the second of
the New England States. Like Con-
it has its multiiarl0us in
dustries whose prosperity has been
nursed by the Republican policy of
protection, and that employ thous-
ands upon thousands of workingmen
who will adhere to the party that
lras made each dollar of their wages
worth one hundred cents. With Con.
nectlcut and New Jersey thus secur-
ed, it is not to be forgotten that the
handicraitsmen and laborers of New
York have an equal interest in the
perpetuation or good times through
The prolonged supremacy of the
party that has done them this ines
UNABLE service. The beneticiaries
OF specie payments are not foolish
enough to trust their future to Gen.

friends.

1t is the duty of every Republican

1t is the duty of every Republican
in the county from now until election
day to make every vote possible for

duty is persistently performed we
shall succeed in largely increasing our
majority. The fact that the business
of the country is better, more econo-

Late Elections Republican Gains.

THE OFFICIAL VOTE OF MAINE.

turns show that the Legislature which
will elect United States Senator.

fusionists, 9. House, Republicans.
So, fusionists &C.. Republican major
ity on joint ballot, 80. The constitu.
tional amendment providing for the
election of governor by plurality
vote is adopted by 41,719 majority.
The official returns for governor will
not be canyassed till January, and it
is probable that Gen. Plaisted will be
found to have small plurality for
governor. But there are.1 40 votes
returned for Plaisted under different
given names. If these, or a portion
even. are thrown out, Davis, Rppub-
lican will be elected Governor. If the
rule that Gov. Garcelon and his conn
Gil adopted is followed then Davis
will surely be elected /; but the pros
pect now is that Plaisted will win.
1t is among the political gossip that
Eugene Hale will soon leave the
State and go to Michigan to attend to
the estate of the late Senator Chand-
Ter, his father-in law that Congress
man Reed will be the candidate for,
United States Senator, and that Frye
will continue in the lower House of

Senator Blaine put it this way in
his speech in Philadelphia my old
friend Colonel Fornt.y seems to think
that General Hancock should have
fall liberty to let the rebels into
Pennsylvania in 1880, because he gal
lantly aided in keeping them out in
1868; that General Hancock should
have the right to place all the great
material and Industrial interests of
Pennsylvania under the control of
the Southern Democracy now be-
cause seventeen years ago hebrew his
sword to. keep the very same men
froln despoiing. and destroying the
State. We Republicans think differ
emily. We believe it only to be the
part of common prudence and COM
rlon wisdom to refuse to put the
Government under the control OF the
men who SO lately sought its destruc-
ton. Those who never rebelled
against the Union are surely more to
be trusted than those who only ceased
rebellion when forced thereto by the
strong All Of the Government. The
citizens who were loyal in the hour
Of the Nations sOrest trial believe
that those who won at Gettysburg
are safer repositories of power than
those who lost on that memorable
field. And as to General Hancock
himself they only regret that he has
changed sides, ana that he is now

pulsed and sought to destroy"
