Private letters to Washington
from Alabama Republicans say the
whole northern tier of counties is
claimed, and apparently with good
reason, by the Greenbackers. In the
Black Belt, which is the Republican
stronghold, and in which several
counties give large Republican ma
jorities, only two were permitted, at
the last election to have their ballot
fairly counted. There are indications
that the Democratic counting machin-
cry will be applied to these counties,
are at least to one of them, on Mon.
day. The canvassing of the vote, II
will be remembered, has been taken
out of the hands of the local author
tiles and vested in Board the mem
bers of which are appointed by the
Governor. The object Of this law was
almost undisguisedly to enable the
Democrats to overcome Republican
majorities by means Of frsudulent +
counting

The New York Tribune has this
to say of the Democratic.Gree
alliance in Maine: The issue is made,
therefore, and the Democratic party
shoulders all the infamies of Garcelon.
There never was a campaign where
the duty of honest men was clearer,
and it will be strange if the election
returns do not show that they saw it
and did it.

"A private latter to Washington
from friend of General Hancock in
New York says that there has been so
much discussion about a letter written
by General Hancock to General Sher-
man during the days of the Electoral
count that General Hancock has be-
come anxious for the publication of
the letter, preferring such publication
to continuation of the discussion
while its contents are unknown The
letter says that the General has moth

The Washington Sunday Herald
continues to be disturbed over the
management of sundry Democratic
papers, and publishes the following
sharp paragraph on the subject yester-
day: 1.-The fact that Mr.. Secretary
Schurz supports Garfield is no excuse
for assailing his military record. 1t
is at least unfair at this late day to at
tribute to deceased officers like Hooker
Thomas and Mcpherson disparaging
remarks about General Schurz without
furnishing the authority upon which
such statements are made. And even
if Mcpherson did say that he would
prefer generals who had already served
under him to Schurz, who had not,
and if Thomas did say, Il don't want
him. such remarks prove nothing.
because neither of the generals had
any means of knowing Schurz's merits
and would naturally prefer some one
whose ability had been proved under
their own eyes. We would suggest to
the cotempOraries who are raising such
irrelevant side issues as this that the
Democracy seems at this time to be
more in need of brains than of facts.

Some time ago statement was
made of the recommendation which
have been made at times to Congress
to make provision for prompt payment
of the bounties and back pay due to
discharged volunteer veterans whose
claims are in process of settlement by
the Second Auditor. Under the pres
ent arrangement these men are com
PEELED to wait for their pay from eight
to eighteen months after their claims
are audited, in addition to the fifteen
years which have elapsed since the
claims accrued, the responsibility be
ing entirely due TO the refusal of the
Democrats in Congress TO provide for
them. The claims are being audited
at the rate Of about 10000 per annum.
These facts have now been embodied
in paper prepared by the Republican
Congressional Committee, which will
be circulated as campaign document
az soon as 1t can be printed. The
whole showing is a complete refuta-
tion Of the Democratic claim of friend.

HancOck's Saluting Match.

Editor ". Y Tribune.
SIR: A citizen of Frankford, Ky,
formerly sergeant in the Regular
Army, told us a few nights ago the
following story of Hancock's army
life, which illustrates trait of his
character with which more than one
private soldier in the late war was fa-
miliar:
81 was stationed before the war;" he
began, lat Fort Leavenworth, and
was on detached duty as orderly at the
headquarters of General A j. Smith.
General Hancock was also stationed at
that post, being a captain in the 9th
United States Infantry under Harncy.
My duty required my constant atten-
dance about headquarters, and
generally | loitered in the little yard
in front of the building used by Gen.
Smith, which was directly upon the
street Army officers frequently
passed by, and one day Captain Han
cock, who was noted among the
private soldiers for his pompous, arro-
giant and tyrannical bearing, came
along the road in front of headquarters.
"As required by army regulations,
| drew myself up in proper position
and made the customary military sa-
me or my salute than ii had not been
there at all, and went on his way.
Later in the day he retuTnC /, and a.
he passed by feeling somewl at nettled
by his treatment Of me | didI't salute
him. He had passed me few steps
when he turned and said, in a savage
way, "OrdCrly, do you know your
duty?" II think know it," | Irepiied.
"Thcn, sir, why didn't you salute me
as | passed?' | told him / didn't ten
der the salute because he failed, as
duty required, to return my salute
when he first came by. We had some
other words, when General Smith,
who, it seems, was in the second story
of the house and had overheard our
conversation, poked his head out of the
window above us, and peremptUrily Y
cried out, "OrdCrly!n "Nes sir. ~ you
will pace that (the sentinel's) beat for
half an hour and salute, Captain Han
cock will keep his position and return
your salute" "And there" said the
ex-soldier, 81 was kept by Old A. j..
pacing the beat for half an hour, sa,
luting Hancock every time | passed
and he had to stand there and return
my salute. And that, "said the vete
ran to Democrat, who stood by lis
tening to the conversation, ''is youl
candidate for the next President. He
is good enough and nice mai
among officers, but he hasn't any us'
for the private soldier, unless he hai
changed his coat very much since ]
was in the Army"

The Bloody Shirt.

Gen. John Beatty opened the Ohio
campaign at Columbus on Saturday
night in a powerful speech, in which
he said.
"Of course, it will be said that | am
waving the bloody shirt. SO? 1t is the
costliest banner that ever greeted the
public eye. 1t was colored and en-
riched by the blood of heroes. 1t sug-
gests the innumerable sacrifice made
by the nation for personal freedom
and political equality. 1t suggests
memories of tender partings at the
homestead, days of marching, nights
of vigil and fury of battle. 1t sug-
gests the sudden clasp of fratenal
hands on the field; the solemn fare
well; the last prayer to God; the hur-
riedly-made grave and the missing
man at roll-call. Under this flag we
shall conquer The time may come,
indeed, when we shall fold it up ten
derby and lay it away with care; but
it is not now. 1t will never be until
the Democratic party, saturated as it is
with treason, liberated and rotten to
the very core, shall by the popular
verdict, he pronounced dead and
damned. Its record is a catalogue OF
crimes. Its existence is a menace TO
good government and so long as it
lifts its brutal head TO the sunshine ii
will be the duty of just men to strike.

-Landers, the Democratic candi-
date for Governor of Indiana, is, if
possible, more unpopular than English
the Democratic candidate for Vice
President. The New Albany Ledger,
the leading Democratic journal in the
southern part of the State, calls loudly
for change in the head of the ticket
In a recent issue it asked, "Why not
bounce Landers from the ticket? He
will probably get bounced very high
by Porter in October" The state of
feeling in the Bourbon camp may be
judged from ihe fact that Hon. Will
liam Fleming, Democratic State
officer, predicts that Indiana will
go Republican by 10000 to
$4,000 majority. About half of the
Democrats repudiate English and the
other half Landers. 1t now looks as
though the October defeat will leave
hardly a corporals guard to rally
around the Hancock standard in No
vember.
