WHO WAS THE HERO

How easy IL is to be mistaken. Sixteen
years ago our democratic friends had a
spnsm of patriotism and were casting about
for military character to lead them to a
civil victory. They wanted a first.class
hero of the democratic persuasion, n grand
strategist, n mighty mover of troops and
conqucrng hero. They found him, and
his name wns-no, it was not HANCOCK, but
MCCLELLAN. The battle of Gettysburg
had been fought within year, and the
heroes of that field wero pretty we'll
known. That was the great battle of the
war, and as the war was fought by demo-
cratic generals there would seem to have
been no difficulty while all the details of
the greatest battle were fresh in the minds
of everybody in selecting the one OF two best
and most brilliant soldiers and laying the
crown at his feet. Somehow the name of
HANCOCK did not at that time loom up as
the man who directed the battle, or any
battle, nor ms the man who saved Pennsyl-
vania, driving the hordes of LEE in con-
fusion across the Potomac and slaughter
ing tens of thousands who died wcltering
" in their bloody gore as some enthusas-
tic editor has it in this year of 1880. HAN
COCK in 1864 was viewed by tho public as n
passably good general None of the bril-
liant war writers who were at Gettysburg
mention him Us being more prominent in
the action than others. MEADE, in his re-
port, does not consider his services worthy
of special mark, aud his dear democratic
party did not look at his laurels rs en-.
titling him to a place among the possible
candidates for the presidential nomination
of that year But HANCOCK, like Topsy,
has growed." He is now a great general.
The people who supposed MEADE was the
hero of Gcttysburgare ignorOmuses-it was
HANCOCK who did the business, and no
one found it out until timber was wanted
for candidate.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Mr.. BARNUM has very attractive me-
nagcrie. II contains democratic mules, green.
back steers and Ben Butler.
THE Baltimore Telegram. purporting for the
past four years to DO tho only democratic
paper published in Baltimore, last week took
the name of Hancock and English from its edi-
torlal column aud resolved to oschew politics
henceforth.
IT is not kind to Senator Bayard for the
democratic congressional committee to refuse
or neglect TO print and circulate his late hard
money speech, while tho very children are
crying for 1t as thoy do for soothing syrup.
Indeed 1t is cruel to suppress that effort Is
there no retribution for such griovous wrongs
WHAT do I think OF it2" was the remark
Of Congressman Sunset Cox when asked his
opinion of the gathering Saratoga democratic
state convention. "Well, l think it's the only
dull, stupid democratic convention l ever ut.
tended. Such n body all union and harmony
and without a single fight on its hands Is like
married couple who are too goody .goody ever
to quarrel. They are so insipid that no per.
son takes any interest in them"
THE Richmond Stale is little doubtful
about the effect of the democratic dickeriug
with grconbackism in Maine aud Indiana. 1t
says OF Maine: "'Tho news from Maine, while
evidently favorable to tho dem ocracy. is not
without its drawbacks and wo greatly fear
the consequences, admitting tho grcenbackcr
has been elected by the CO mbnel votes of that
dctested organization and the democracy; and

Colonel Gordon, popularity known as Chinese
Gordon, has submitted report ia which he

of tho cavalry, tho use Of torpedoes and NOR
tars for coast defense and the building Of light
draft strongly built screw steamers. He con-
sidcrs IL useless to construct navy of proper
tions similar to those OF England or other
great powers, and advises against the purchase
of largo ordnance, as they are not powerful
enough to pierce the present make Of armored
vessels. 1t is proposed that the peace footing

As we understand the republican managers,
they propose to mako Indiana the presiden-
tial battle-ground. It is to be left to demo.
cratic stale to decide between Hancock and
Garfield.
We accept the proposition and its attendant
consequences. If Indiana goes republican
two weeks from to-day, We will give tn cleo.
ton up. If 1t goes democratic the republicans,
of course, will do the same.
Now let us hear from Indiana.
The republican managers have never pro-
posed TO make Indiana the presidential
battle-ground. They are not reduced to
such necessity. That state from the
beginning has been claimed by all demo-
cratic calculations as certain for HANCOCK.
In republican calculations it has at best
been classed MS debatable and doubtful. If
the republicans win it the democratic jig is
up, for no table of an electoral vote suffi-
cent to give them success can be construct
ed when the fifteen votes of Indiana are
excluded. Should the republicans lose
Indiana and win Ohio they are Just where
they started. We should not give up the
contest even should both states 90 against
us. We can win without them and have
votes to spare.

won for HANCOCK and his confederate
brgadier party in this contest, if the re
pubicans are true to the country and its
interests.
With such an outlook there is no cause
for discouragement on tho part of republic
cans. They have only to make gallant
and aggressive fight to win victory. Sue
cess will be theirs If they earn it. 1t is
within their grasp, and hence il is their own
fault If they do not encompass a decisive
triumph. The noise and clamor of the
democratic methods will have no terrors
for the faithful. They will add TO their
efforts and their Glance under democratic
brng and buster, moving on steadily with
the work they have in hand.

TIE republican managers in Ohio, who
seem to have been somewhat oblivious to
the necessities of the campaign in that
state, are now arousing to life and activity.
They begin to be aware that General GAR
FIELDS own state will not carry itself on
the personal popularity of their great leader,
hut, on the contrary, they are awoking to
the sober fact that their faith must be at
tended by works, or while they sleep the
enemy will SOW tares among their wheat,
and instead of reaping harvest of victory,
they may find themselves cropping about in
the stubble after tho democrats have gath
cred and borne Off the grain. 1t is to be
hoped that the selfcomplacency and con-
fldence of our Ohio friends have not been dis
turbed too late. Selfsufficiency Is well
