General winfield scott Hancock,


Hon. Charles l.. Wedding, a native of
this county, now one of the most prom
inent young lawyers of Evansville, Ind,
was called for at political meeting i'm
that city recently, and paid the follow
ing high eulogy to our candidate
Fellow citizens-The great loyal heart
of this great free land of ours swells with
enthusiasm for the marshal hero of Get
teysburg, South Mountain and Antiet-
am. No soldier of the late war, no
general of any age ever moved upon the
enemy with more gallantry and courage
than Hancock. No soldier patriot was
ever more loyal to his country and her
institutions. No statesman ever more
zealOusly guarded and revered the con-
stitution of the fathers. No civilian
ever more dearly loved and cherished
the glories of peace than this great
Democratic stateman and soldier. Great
In war, great in peace, great in all con-
ditions of life, he rises in incOncievable
grandeur above all opposition. When
boy, i'm my Kentucky home, / read of
his gallant charge at Gettysburg when
the fate of his country hung trembling
i'm the balance, and then put away in
my heart the hope that his country and
manhood would one day do him full
honor. | knew then as l know now
that i'm an age of patriotism, i'm an age
of brave men, his cOuntrymen would
elevate him to the highest position in
human affairs if they ever got chance.
Never until we have forgotten our
Washington, our Adams, Jefferson,
Scott, Lincoln and Grant will we east
our suffrages against this great states
man and patriot.
From the rising to the setting sun his
name is famous for deeds of valor and
heroism, and shall we, who all owe to
him, waver i'm his support? On the
field of battle, i'm the midst of blood,
carnage and death, he never faltered,
and if his body never bent on the field,
his mind will never yield to the wrong
in the cabinet. The union soldiers will
rally round him because he was true to
his country in all the darkest hours
the confederate soldier will support
him because he was not only brave
and true soldier, but because he was as
generous to the fallen foe as he was
loyal to the republic; the civilian will
support him, because when the wal
Was over he took the constitution of his
country i'm his hand, and with his
strong arm he declared that no military
ruler should override the constitution
and deprive the citizens of the right OF
trial by jury. or the writ of habeas cor
pus. The Republican can support him
because, as was stated by a talented
young minister from his pulpit i'm this
city last Sunday, "the country will b,
safe in his hands," and the bourbon
Democrat will support him because ht
cherishes and has ever upheld all the
doctrines which he holds dear. Hi
name has united all sections of thi,
country as no mans has for quarter
of century. The bloody shirt politi
clan Is now shOrn of his power, and ht
will have to fold away the ensanguinet
garment forever. An era of peace /.

Points Political.

Jas. A. Huntley, Of Union Grove, y.
u, writes that the postmaster Of that
place, who was appointed by Grant, is
for Hancock and English. w. ). Stew
ems, Of East Prospect, York county, Pa,
writes; ave will poll the largest
Democratic vote ever east in this dis
trict. Tilden had ll3 votes in 1876.
We now have Hancock club Of l5l
members. Fourteen of the members
have heretofore voted the Republican
ticket"
VIM. Snedeker, Of No. :94 North
Seventh street, Brooklyn, a Lincoln
Republican, formerly member of the
Republican General Committee and
Treasurer of the Union League of Kings
county, and long member Of the Four
teenth Ward (Brooklyn) Republican
Association, has resigned from that Or
ganizatiOn and declared his intention to
vote and work for Hancock. Mr.. Sned-
eker belonged to the old Second Army
Corps during the war, and served un-
der Hancock at Gettysburg.
Col. Joseph w. Parker, formerly Gen.
Grants editor of the Washington Ma
tional Republican, who is a member Of
the National Hancock Veteran Asso-
citation, said to the New York World:
The nomination of Gen. Hancock
brought together Republican and DEM
oeratie soldiers who had not worked for
the same ticket for twenty years. 1 do
not say that all the soldiers are going to
vote for Hancock. i only know that a
majority of the honest, fair-minded
men i'm and out of the g. A. R. have
enlisted in the association. Coming
down to practical facts, will refer you
to my own post, George Washington,
No. 1Os, composed of 100 men, seventy
five of whom will vote for Hancock,
forty of these being former Republic
cans.

Radical Driven Co the
Wall.

"Like master like man." is an old
proverb of the slavery days that may
now be superseded by the paraphrase,
Like candidate like party. The Repub-
lican party having placed at its head
two men notorious for theiS corruption
and dishonesty i'm public station, has
been compelled to resort To the meanest
and most degrading and disgraceful
shifts i'm order to accomplish its ends.
Its latest rascality across the river In
Indiana is tampering with the mails.
Every country postmaster In that state,
during the past week, has received
from the Office of the Republican State
Central Committee Mt indianapolis
printed circular letter, instructing him
To withhold all papers and campaign
documents, that reach his office adj
dressed to Democrats, until after the
State election. This precious missive Is
signed BY a scoundrel named Dudley,
who, besides engineering the Republi-
can campaign in that State, fills the
responsible and Ought-to-be honorable
position of United States Marshal.
A party must be very hard pressed
to resort to tactics like this. But il
would be well for postmasters to eonsid-
er well the consequences of the crime
they are directed to commit by their
party masters before they proceed to
obey this order. To suppress, destroy,
or withhold mail matter, as directed by
this villainous order, is a felony, and
subjects the guilty party to a fine of
81 900 and Imprisonment at hard labor
in the penitentiary for not less than one
year. This is the least penalty.
1t is nothing more than right and
proper for US to state how We became
possessed of information in regard to
this circular letter, manifestly intended
to be kept a profound secret. Until
about year ago, Mr.. u. Tousey was
postmaster ut Tobinsport, Perry county,
Indiana, u pleasant little village on the
Ohio, Immediately opposite our city.
This circular came addressed to Mr..
Tousey and was delivered to him along
with other mail matter. As that gen.
tleman proposes to vote for both Lam
ders and Hancock, he did not trouble
himself to destroy or suppress the
shameful document, but quite the con-
trary. BY the time this reaches the
readers eye it will be i'm the hands of
the Democratic State Central Commit
tee at indianapolis.
We have but two questions to ask of
our Republican friends, by way of COM
mentary on this scoundrelism. They
are these:
Can any man longer support or affil-
late with a party that presents motor
iously corrupt and dishonest men like
Garfield and Arthur for the highest pO-
sitions in the government, and truth
fully claim to be honest himself?
Can any man longer support or affil-
late with party whose directing organ
izations will resort to felonious practices
to carry an election, and truthfully
claim to be honest themselves.-Breck-
enridge NeUs.

Alas. what narrow creatures We are,
after all. How distinctly We can see
the "mOte" in other eyes, so impereep-
tible in our own How easily we can
settle the question Of duty for tried,
tempted, discouraged fellow-creature,
and what large margin We allow for
our own weaknesses and follies. How
seldom do We reflect that, placed in the
same circumstances, We might be even
more reprehensible than they whom
we 50 uncharitably condemn. God
help us-what if He should SO unspar-
ingly and unrelentingiy measure our
motives and lives, What if our un-
wOrthiness were the measure Of His
daily favor and recognition? May the
thought stifie ON our lips the harsh
Judgment, and prompt the extended
hand of suecOr to the tempted and dis
cOuraged?

True Reform.

When Capt. Stone assumed charge
as Warden Of the prison, on the lst day
of June there were fifty-four sick men
on the beds. Yesterday there Were
none upon the beds and the average
number upon the beds in the last six
weeks has not been more than three.
What is more astonishing is the fact
that no death has occurred in the pris-
on since he assumed charge. June,
July, August and two-thirtis of Sept
ember have passed and no coffin has
been made in the prison. This is what
