Which Is Which ?

The tone of the Democratic cam
paign compels a Renaissance. In
the year 1864, when the first Presi-
Dental election occurred after the
Democrats had been defeated in 1860,
their platform declared the war to be
a failure. Their State Conventions
throughout the war,
Willing to wound, and yet afraid to strike
had constantly limited faults and hesi-
tated infinite dislike. There were in
dividual Democrats, indeed, like Gen
eral Dix and Daniel S. Dickinson in
New York, who unreservedly took
the strongest patriotic ground; but
the Democratic party as a party cav
illed and contested and obstructed,
and the rebels looked to it as their
surest hope. The letter written by
ex-Presideut Pierce on the eve of the
war was substantially a threatening
declaration that it would be war be-
tween the two parties at the North.
The whole Copperhead and peace
movement was Democratic. The So
ciety for the Diffusion of Political In
formation was a Democratic propa-
ganda of slavery and secession. They
were New York Democrats who tried
to thwart President Lincoln by con
stitutional' objections to the war
measures. It was the Tammany ora
tory of the Fourth of July, 1863, that
directly promoted the draft riots
There was not a paper hostile to the
war that was not Democratic, nor q
malignant sneerer at the President
and the war policy who was not a
Democrat. The hearty cooperation
of the Democratic party as a party
would have brought the war to an
early end, and would have prevented
half the actual loss of life and ex-
pense of money But as a party il
was practically an opposition party
Its Presidential candidate in 1854 wa:
the rebel candidate, and the re-elec-
ton of the Republican President wa'
the moral overthrow of the rebellion
These are the most familiar facts O
history. The Democratic attitud

..THE IDOL OF THE SECOND CORPSE
Hancock as He Appeared in the Field

Hancock as He Appeared in the Field
[Kansas City journal.
Hancock has been paraded from
Maine to California and from Mime
sofa to the Gulf as the idol of the sec
ond army corps, his old command, un-
til the average Democrat imagines that
all of the old soldiers who served under
him are just crazy to vote for him next
fall, but there are some things con-
nected with his career which indicate
that instead of his old soldiers voting
for him they will unite against him in
as solid masses as they did when they
attacked the enemy IN Virginia. As
a sample of the position in which
Hancock is held, Journal reporter
interviewed Mr.. Jerry Ward yester-
day Ward fought under Hancock
and tells the story in a cool. deliberate
way, which, added to his fine reputa-
ton in the community, will obtain
for his story the credit of exact truth
fulness. Upon entering the printing
office of Ward & Tew, 512 Main street,
Mr.. Ward was found busily engaged
but stopped and greeted his visitor
cordially. The reporter said:
You fought under Hancock, [ be-
lieve, Mr.. Ward?"
"Yes; / was a soldier in the 4th
Ohio Volunteer Infantry, in the 1st
Brigade, Sd Division of the I'd Army
Corps"
"Have you any objection to stating
what the soldiers thought Of Han
cock?'
Il have none in the least. Hancock
was always considered good General,
although | can not recall anything
particularly brilliant that he ever did.
Personally, he was much disliked by
all of his men"
What was the cause of it
He was disliked and hated because
he held his men as worse than dogs.
He had no feeling for a private sold
ier, and the men knew it.
Can you recall any particular occa-
sion when he expressed himself open
ly?"
"Yes indeed. Here is one sentence
| heard him say one day which | will
never forget. 1t was right after the
second battle Of Bull Run. Lee had
fanked US, and after retreatlng, we
were advancing again. The affair
which | am about to relate occurred
between Manassas Junction and War
renton. The 4th Ohio was marching

The SUNDAY School VS.. Tobacco.

There ought to be pretty vigorous
war commenced in the Sunday-school
against tobacco. 1t is the filth that
borders the stream Of drunkenness.
When once a boy has set his foot in
this he is liable to be whirled away by
the fierce torrent just beyond. Al
though there is a growing sentiment
against its use among protesting
Christians, there is an alarming in
crease in the habit itself Boys, es-
pecially, are far more addicted to its
use than formerly. There is one point
that we have to pass nearly every day
where cigar manufactory keeps out
upon the sidewalk in box the stem:

GEN. GRANT to the editor Of the
Advance says:
You have probably seen that de-
MED the canard started by the New
York Truth the very day it was start
ed. have nothing to say against
Gen. Hancock. His personal, official,
and military record is good, but the
record of the party which has put him
in nomination is bad"
1.-The silent man. has thus in three
lines summed up the whole Democrat
ic case. He has thus tersely stated
the fundamental reason why Gen.
Hancock should not be elected and the
Democratic party placed in power.
The record of the party which has
nominated him is bad"
1t is the party Of secession and re-
bellion. 1t is the party of States
Rights. 1t is the party Of every
financial heresy. The party of repu-
diation, unlimited and reckless infa-
ton and opposition to a sound and
stable currency. The party opposed
to free speech, opposed to free and
fair ballot,-in favor of Ku-Klux-
Klans, Rifle Clubs and White Leag-
uers to terrify and murder innocent
citizens, opposed to free and fair cleo
tions. 1t is the party that now
threatens when placed in power, ''to
wipe out the last vestige of war legis-
lation," and thus regain in legislation
what is lost in war.
Truly the record of the party is bad,
so bad that the American people will
not be disposed to place it in power

The Shadow.

BY FRANCES LOUISA BUSHNELL.
The village churchyard lay in the light
OF the moon, that softly shed,
Down from the far mid-heaven of night,
Her silver noon on the dead.
The elm trees hung their branches down,
Heavy with night and sleep;
The lights were out in the little town
And eyes had forgot to weep.
L stood in a dream, like one upcast
On some long-remembered shore;
And there in the moonlight lay my past
And all had wept of yore.
But, alas it was all more strangely far
Than in thought it had ever been;
And that grave seemed nearer to yonder star
Than to me, and more akin.
And alas! alas J.! had lost my tears,
And my heart began to know
How relentless are the effacing years,
How soon ii is long ago.
/ could not weep, and could not pray,
Till the shadow behind the stone
Began to lengthen away, away,
Seeking the far unknown.
On the grave it laid, and upon my thought,
The touch of eternity;
1t brought what nothing before had brought,
A thrill and my tears to me.

Stolen Livery.
GEORGE L. CONVERSE IN 1864 AND IN
1880.

Beautiful Specimen of Democratic Hypocrisy.
George L. Converse is advertised to
speak here Saturday afternoon in a
meeting to ratify the nomination of
Hancock, and he will no doubt sound
his praises for gallant service in the
war; To show the height and depth
of the Democratic hypocrisy on this
subject, we give below a speech deliv-
cred by this same Converse in 1864,
while Hancock was at the front, in
which he gave forth the only honest
utterance of his heart-the sentiments
of treason and disloyalty. To have
such double-dyed traitors mount the
stump now, clothed in the stolen liv-
cry Of loyalty, and profane the cause
of the war with their hypocritical
praise of its heroes, is enough to startle
the dead warriors in their tombs, and
stir the depths of every patriotic soul
with Indignation.
Following is speech of George L.
Converse, delivered at Baughman's
woods, near Gahanna, July %, 1854,
and published in the Crisis, Demo-
cratic paper, July 81, 1864:
The Democratic National Conven-
tion has wisely been postponed until
September, in order that the people
may be consulted and their wishes un-
derstood. If the delegates elected to
that convention find that the masses
of the people are sternly determined
in favor of peace, we shall have
peace candidate. If we have peace can
didate | feel certain we shall carry him
thro'. If we cannot do that, there is one
thing certain, we will never consent
to the prosecution Of the war
[Cheers | believe the candidate of
the Chicago Convention, if he is
peace man, and he must be no other,
will be elected. Men, do not think of
sending your sons to the army. Wo-
men, do not allow your husbands to be
taken to augment the slaughter; make
up your minds to have peace, take
nothing else, and under all circum-
stances, keep your powder dry
[Cheers. There are mad dogs in the
country, or sheep-killing dogs and
plenty of burglars. He who would
steal away a man is to be treated like
any other thief and robber. Cheers.
lnlS meeClHS Is, DIS HAS peeH Sdlu, dn
augury of good time coming. We
shall have good time, my friends.
The light which breaks from here to-
day will be of good effect Its genial
rays will reach Chicagoin Sept. cheers
and in November it will reach the
White House. Cheers. While en-
gagged in the blessed work of peace, we
can look back over the three years
past and think of the brave boys who
have been seduced into this useless
war-the bones of million of whom
now bleach upon the hills and in the
valleys of the South, where they have
been sent to be slaughtered. We can
think of them with sorrow, regret and
sympathy. They lost their lives in an
effort to do what they thought their
duty-they were sacrificed by the
bloody cruelty of our rulers. But for
the leaders of this thing they would
still have been among us, with prom
Use of long and useful lives before
them, and with hope of dying in peace
at a ripe old age.

Only Five Years Behind!

The Democratic party is hobbling
along in the rear of the Republicans
as rapidly as it can, but, there is not
an encouraging prospect of its catch
ing up very soon, although it is now
only five years behind, on the financial
question. In 1875, the Democracy re-
solved:
THAT the contraction of the currency heretofore
made by the Republican party and the further r con-
resumption Of specie payments, has already brought
disaster the business the country and threatens
that this policy be abandoned and that the volume
be made and kept equal to the wants
In the same year, 1875, the Repub-
llcans resolved:
That the policy of finance should be steadily pur-
sued which, without unnecessary check to business
or trade, will ultimately equaiize the purchasing
capacity OF the coin and paper dollar"
This year, the Democracy, declare,
in their Cincinnati platform, for
paper convertible into coin on demand" @ gnu anu
Now let every intelligent Democrat
compare the two Democratic resolu-
tions quoted, then ask himself what
he can think of a party that will
within five years, occupy two positions
upon the financial question, diamet-
rically opposed to each other? Let
him ask himself if he is not being
dragged along in the rear of the Re.
publican party. Then let him ask
himself if it would not be more manly
to step forward at once and join the
party of progress.

at last betrayed him into the hands of
his murderers? For ourselves we much
prefer truly reconstructed rebel to

are you not beginning to use the terms
Rebels" and Rebel General" too
