have the effect to reduce the price of

nothing of other items. Scotland be-

nation Of Greeley and augurs badly tor
the Success CT. the democracy One of
their strong advantages, since the

has been their ability to get

able, the Ignorant and uniformed |
with what seemedto be the popular /,
current But when we stop to think |
for moment We can not wonder that 7
there is 4 decline in the enthusiasm of
the democracy over Hancock's norni-
nation.
See what an awkward position the
democratic orator or writer is placed
IN If he undertakes TO compare the
record of she two parties; his opponent
has hlm at the greatest disadvantage
from the very outset. For the demo-
cratic party has each succeeding year
placed itself upon record as acknowl-
edslng that its record OF the previous ,
year was a bad one, and thus the
democrat is forced to admit, il he he
honest, that the democracy was wrong d.
and the republicans right. But they t
insist that the past shall be left alone,
that it should be forgotten. and that 5
We must rely upon their promises of '
the wonderful things they are going to c
do in the future, and that again brings 5
us necessarily to the past for We have
TO way OF Judging OF their future course
except by the past. and taking their 5
past history as 4 recommendation We h
find tito be bad, very bad, so bad that
man with such 4 recommendation. L
however fair his address might be or '
fair his promises, could not get q po-
sition in any first class business house =
in the land. Again should he turn to n
comparison of the candidates, how d
much better is Gen Hancock from a
democratic standpoint than Gen. Gar
fleldt For four years he marched be-
meath the stars and stripes fighting c
against the pet-idea of the southern o
democracy-States Rights, and help Y,
ing to.establish the doctrine that this is n
a NATION. In all Of their eulogies of o.
Gen. Hancock. they must speak OF him H
as i'e UNION SOLDIER. for he has little Sc
history as anything else. Hence, We
cannot wonder that the enthusiasm is ii
falling off, lor although they may eA- .. %

iy difficult matter for the pride of the
southern democrat TO humble itself
