do demand it, and when they are asked

Some time ag) gentleman, who had

This they declined 10 do, and the result
of the gentleman's inquiry was that two

put the debt in another form and increase

real ze from $4,000 in bonds only the
sum of 100000, the stockholders will be
indebted to the bondholders in the sum
of $4,000, all interest bearing. The
probabilities are that the road will not

Times.

PHILADELPHIA, June 24.-Col. Nc
Clure teieeraphs bis leader to the Times
! from Cincinnati and says:
General Hancock gives the Democracy
a batter record than it has given itself,
and he is vastly stronger than the party
in State and nation. His candidacy
strips the contest of the last vestige OF
sec!ional:sm and leaves the Republicans
with no attribute outside of the inherent
merits OF their candidate and present
record that can appeal to-patriotism
A FAvoRITE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
He is nobler soldier than Garfield,
one whose name is imperishably inter
woven with the achievements of the
Army of the Potomac. and who alike in
the tempest or bat lie. and in the more
delicate duties of civil administration
has stood out single from the masses Of
our heroes and statesmen He has no
offensive record of the past no offensive
surroundings of the present; no doubt.
ful loyalty or integrity to fear the criti-
cal test cf his eountrymon, and he will
run like fire In an August clearing.
THE DOUBTFUL STATES.
New York, New jersey and Connect.
cut are reasonably certain to he Hancock
States, as the Democratic leaders have
no oppo' tunity to put in the leading
strings by their blunders, and ! pu,
down Pennsylvania as qrite as certain
for Hancock as Ohio is for Garfield
The really doubtful States Of the con-
tests will be Indiana, Illinois, N,vada
Calfornia and Oregon, with not more
than one chance in dozen for the Re-
publicansqin Indiana. and with about
like chances for the Democrats in Hi.
nois and, the Pacific-States. Looking
dispass;onstely over the field at this
early stage of the conflict, the indica-
tions point strongly to a Democratic
, President, Democratic Senate and a
, Democratic House on the fourth OF
March, 1881.

wHANcocK was in command at
Washington City when, a Republican
Court Martial passed sentence of death
spon Mrs. SURRArr and the men who
aided and abetted in the assassination OF
LINCOLN and the attempt on the life Of
SEWARD The orders for the carrying
out OF the sentence OF the Court were
issued, by a Republican Secretary OF
War and approved by JOHNSON, Re-
publican, to General HANCOCK and he
ebeyed them. Out Of this the Repub-
icans expect to make capital in this
campaign. All they can ssy is that
General HANCOCK obeyed the orders OF
his superior officers. which his cath re-
quired him to do. Every good soldier
in the war did the same thing. and those
who pursued different course soon dis
covered that 1t was the part of wisdom
to obey orders-right or wrong.

wThe Cincinnati Commercial says
of the Democratic nominee for Presi
dent: !:
"No one in spy event, We hope, will
undertake to deny that Hancock was one
OF the most brilliant soldiers in the war
Few who have seen him will dispute the
proposition that he is the handsomest
man in America. His bearing in the
army was. as phrase quoted by Mr.
Dougherty describes, Superb. No Field
Marshal whose picture stands forth ir
the big wars that fame in the pages oI
history, ever rode down the lines where
the death messengers were waistling
more gloriously than Hancock at Get
tysburg."
