EVERY man of average intelligence
knows that Gen. Hancock would not have
the slightest chance to carry a single
Northern State, but for the fact that there
are thousands of offices now held by Re
puolicans which, if Gen. Hancock should
be elected, will be given to Democrats,
not because they are better qualified to
discharge the duties thereof. but because
they are active Democrats and efficient
in doing party work. Every intelligent
man, except this dispenser of advice,
knows that whatever Gen. Hancock may
say about the matter his election would
be followed by turning out every Rcpub-
lican now in office, regardless of et1icien-
cy, to make place for the men who have
clung to the Democratic organization
twenty years in the hope of Democrat
ic success and Office.

GEN. HANCOCK has Il brilliant war
record, but the party whom he represents
has a very bad one. When it points to
his patriotic services the country will re-
member that the Democratic party, how
ever it may be about many individual
Democrats. can only eXalt him at its own
expense. When lie was fighting at the
front it was, by its sneers and jeers and
vicious criticisms, giving aid and comfort
to the enemy against whom he had drawn
his sword. There is no such disastrous
incongruity betwean Gen. Garfield and
the party whom he represents in this
canvass. He did valiant service in the
war and was backed up by the Republi-
can party which during all the great
struggle was the right arm Of the govern
ment.

The Presidential year always brings
out the full Republican vote. One has
only to compare the election statistics
for period Of years to see how large a
part of the Republican strength, which
is latent and unexpressed in the inter
vening elections, develops itself III every
fourth year. when the lines between the
parties are sharply drawn and broad ma
tional issues impel to general activity.
The same cause operates to a certain ex-
tent upon other parties. but it is we'll
known fact that the Republican party
gains most of all from the increased in
terest which attends Presidential cam
paign. In our judgment, the cause is to
be found in the fact that the party is
actuated by principles rather than by in
dividual ambition and seIf-seeking. and
it is only when these principles are fully
presented, and the public mind is aroused
to all that the party has done and has
vet to do. that its fullest vote is attained.
Whatever the cause, however, the fact
remains.

EIGHT years ago the Democrats chose
IS their candidate a man who had given
the best strength of his life to the de
nunciation of their principles and pur-
poses.
They nominated Horace Greeley. not
because they had ceased to hate him.
but because they thought Il vast tidal
wave of enthusiasm would bear the great
editor and patriot to the White House,
and with HIM they would ride to power
in spite of Il bad record.
Pursuing a similar policy in 1880, the
Democrats have nominated Gen. Hancock
plainly for the purpose Of concealing the
party record and attracting votes by his
military fame.
Will the stool-pigeon policy win?
The Greedy stool-pigeon failed
The Hancock stool-pigeon must.
Horace Greeley's patriotism could not
allure the people into the snare of the
dangerous party at hIG back, and Gen.
Hancock's military record viii not.

we copy for the information of some OF

President Hayes. In speaking of the

The defeat of the Republican candi-
date for commissioner in the Sd Dis
trict can be ascribed to a variety ofrea-
SONS, the principal one being the bitter
personal fight made upon him in his
own township. It was fight that for
vindictiveness and hatred has seldom
been waged. The locality question
was urged with great force and un-
doubtedly exercised considerable inf1u-
ence. His opponent, one of the strong
est possible candidates from the fact of
his being a man against whom no
one would desire to say word, and
although no one would question the
ability of Mr.. Rowland yet he seemed to
have had enemies who were determin-
ed to beat at nay cost. So far as the
candidates were concerned no undue
advantages were taken by either, and
while Mr.. Lieurance was elected, Mr..
Rowland has undoubtedly strengthen
ed himselfby the manly fight he made.
While regretting, as Republican, that
he should have been beaten, yet we are
free to confess, from our acquaintance
with his successful opponent, that we
do not believe that he will forget that
he represents. more Republicans than
Democrats and more people than voted
for him as Democrat or Republican.

That. conspiracy" of the Republi-
cans to count out New York has prov
en- to bewhat many at first supposed, a
gambling trick to give those who had
bet ON Hancock, a chance to even up.
There never was any probability of the
returns from the interior of the State
being changed and Republicans have
never had much show to commit frauds
in New York City. 1t is about on a
par with the statement that Republi-
can voters were imported into Ohio
from Kentucky. When as a matter of
fact the latter State has never had a
surplus of that kind of votes. Men
who have memories will remember
four years ago the gambling fraternity
of New York were caught the same
way, and under the questions raised
and stories started, prominent N. Y.
gamblers declared all bets off. We are
having repetition of the same plan.

bought from Mr.. D. G.. Young one
half interest in the Allen County In

& Co., failed on the home stretch and
no longer having use for their "organ"
and wanting to be placed back, statu
quo anti bellum have brought Grimm
al action for false pretence THAT he
would see them all elected) with the
probable purpose of bringing brother
Young to the terms which they desire
to dictate.
; There are two thoughts suggested
in this connection. First, they prob
ably agreed to pay more for the good
will and material than they now want
to do-second, Young is Republican.

There seems to be a diversity of le-
gal opinions, as to what the effect of
the amendment will be until after the
meeting of the Legislature and the
passage of laws regulating the force
and effect. We know as little of the
real effect as any one can and being no
lawyer we are unable to offer an intel
Iigent opinion. From various sources
we take the following views, which
are submitted without comment: An
article in the X. G. Journal from To-
peka takes the position that no means
can be taken to regulate matters until
the Legislature convenes., That the
license system is done away and free
whiskey will ensue.
A Leavenworth opinion is that the
business must stop at once so far as
whiskey is concerned but that experts
must first decide as TO whether beer is
an intoxicating liquor or not. Those
who have obtained licenses must col
lect from the city, damages to the
amount they have paid and then close
up.
From an article in the Topeka Com
n,onwedlth we see the writer takes
the position that as soon as the vote on
the Prohibitory amendment is can
vassed and declared adopted, all au-
thority to sell liquors will cease, the
present law remaining in force. We
further understand the same opinion
is shared by our county attorney. Ii
eepsed saloons will cease to exist in q
short time.
