General Grants definition of a fair
ballot beats Hancock's: 1--WE should
never be beaten until every man who
counts, or represents those who count,
IN the enumeration to give representa-
ton i'll the Electoral College, can cast
bis vote just as he pleases, and can
have it counted just as he cast it,
| There is something moIe than 4 pIati-
tude in that. 1t contains the great is
sue of the cOntest-whether the North
shall surrender to the South the princi-
pie it fought for four years to establish.

Hampton at Staunton but indorsed
himself. Speaking in Charleston, July
%, 1868, he said: Il yield to none in
devotion to that lost cause for which
we fought. Never shall l admit that
the cause itself failed, and that the
principles which gave it life were there

Gen. Gartield's hands were clean at
the Credit Mobilier transaction, as he
has always kept them, but he unfortu-
nately adopted the false defense of
those who were guilty and who expect
ed Cakes Ames to swear them through,
instead of standing on his own true
and good defense and leaving the gull
ty to their fate. l believe firmly in
Gen. Garfield's personal integrity, and
base my Judgment upon an intimate
knowledge of his private walk and con
versatlon. He has large sympathy and
great humanity; would make any sac
rihce to serve his friend in any honora-
BILE way, but in politics gives his party
the key to his conscience Judge Jefe

foreclosures, and it considers his get
ting into his hands, at sheliff's sales,
nearly four hundred pieces of poor
mems property in indianapolis, most
of 1T property which had been paid for
up to the last instalment, evidence
that he was "a shrewd business man. y
Shylock, we believe, was ga shrewd
business man." but if he was nominated
tor the Vice Presidency, his shrewd
business transactions would not greatly
advance his political chances. 1t might
be Exceedingly childish" to bring
them up against him, but people in
general would be apt to think that a
man who had accumulated vast fort
une by dispossessing the poor of their
homes did not deserve very well of the
public. That is what is the matter,
just now, with Candidate Euglish.-

The Fitchburg Sentinel, in speaking
of the Democratic Convention and But
lers appearance therein, says: "The
whole convention reminds us of the
first family meeting after the oldest son
has got home from State Prison. All
are glad he has come, but are awfully
afraid he will do some new act to dis
grace or ruin the household
ga free vote and fair connt" Han
cock promises. General Grant has
just defined that to mean that "every
man can cast his vote just as he pleas
es and can have it counted just as he
cast it." The Southern Democratic
reading is that "every man can vote as
he pleases and we will count it if it
pleases u.s. In Maine the reading is
that all may vote as freely as they
please, but a Greenbacker will count
this time at least as q fair Democrat.
In New York the union of Tammany
and its Anti doubtless means ga full
vote and a very free count."-[N. Y.
