EDS. CLARION The political outlook b.
comes, day by day, more significant Of De
mOcratic success.
The Republicans, at the commencement
of the campaign, very gliby pronounced
that the Hancock "bOom" was a baseless
fabric that would soon be over. Never was
there a more complete instance OF reckon
ing without the host" The enthusiasm of
the people in favor of Gen Hancock has
been like ''the appetite that grows by what
il feeds on"
A prominent Republican Boston paper IN
commenting on the political situation re-
marks that, even should Indiana fail him
another possibility is fairly open To the De-
mocratic candidate for the nine votes OF
New JERSEY and the six votes of Connect
cut would compensate him for the detection
of the HOosier Stale. Nay there is still a
shorter cut. Ii Maine should choose
the fusion electors, General Hancock could
dispense with both Indiana and Connect
cut"
Again, referring to the prophesy OF Simon
Cameron, As to the success of Garfield iu
Pennsylvania, the same paper adds: But
If we were called upon 70 name the Repuh-
lican State most likely to give people i
stunning surprise in November, we should
hesitate good while before passing Penn
sylvania."
In another article in the following state.
ment Frank w. Hughes, the father of
Pennsylvania GreenbackerS and the ahle-t
leader OF the party in the state, has created
a sensation by renouncing the National
Greenback labor candidate for the Pre,i-
dency, and saying quite freely that be be-
lieves there ought 10 he a complete fusion
of Greenbackers with Democrats To insure
Garheld's defeat"
The same paper also quotes Gen. Butler
when he said Hancock will win "rhere
is no mistake about it."
There seems to be a firm opinion forming
in the public mind and growing into such
positive conviction that il has nspirted
the supporters of Gen. Hancock with rc-
newed zeal and enthusiasm, and if possible
inspired them with greater confidence lac
success; and that Is, that the principles and
declarations enumerated in his correspon-
dence, his orders, and all papers
emnating from him, are of such a charac-
ter, that it observed and enforced during
his administration they will constitute him
the Washington of our second century.
The only objection urged against him for
the Presidency, is that he has been more Of
Il soldier than statesman
The election in Indiana will call forth AN
the etlortS and energies in the way of men
and means that the Republicans can COM
mand. All their prominent speakers
Blaine, Logan, Couklng, their 'Ro~es
Blauches and sweethearts," have been there.
and now it is announced that the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher has volunteered his
services to the National Republican Com
mittee for several political speeches in Ohio
and Indiana.
In recent political harangue i'm Vermont,
the same Rev. parsonage said, Here are "A
great many good Democrats, but there is not
a single good Democratic p1,-tY in the coun-
try That piece of oratorical defamation
suggested she following squih:
How very lacouic
And yet how sardonic
Is that wonderful creature
Mr.. Henry Ward Beecher
His style 50 Miltlnic
His heart so TitouiV,
What an elegant preacher
What SalRhIc screechtr
Is II aHTy Ward Reeehcr
BE OH, what IA rarity
Is his christian charity.
