POLITTCAL POINTS.

The Democrats should save their next
forgery until the day before the election.
There has been no evidence forth
coming up to this date that Hancock's
letter on the tariffquestion is forgery.
General Grant still displays the same
graceful facility for handling the Dem
ocracy that he manifested at Apo
mattox.
For a man who has only made two
stump speeches, General Grant hits the
bulls-eye, SO to speak, with marvellous
accuracy.
1t has been suggested that the Demo
cratic Waterloo in Indiana was largely
attributable to the financial views of
Bill English.
If Porter's plurality keeps on grow
ing. the Democrats of Indiana will have
a Republican majority of 5000 to tackle
on the I'd of November.
The Republican majority in Ohio on
congressman is about 5000. The 1929"
craze prevailed in the Buckeye state
Win elaImInB Intensity
The inevitability of death and taxes is
a broken reed and rope of sand CON-
pared with the certainty tina: the Demo-
cratic party will always do the right
thing at the wrong time.
The New York Herald thinks it would
be bonanza scheme for the Republicans
of New York City to nominate q. 8.
Grant for Mayor. Our latest advices do
not indicate that John Kelly has second
ed the motion.
The Democrats. in their desperate at
tempt to rctard the Garfield boom by a
forged letter on the Chinese question,
have become robust competitors for the
jack-knife with Mrs. Partington, who
thought she could sweep back the ocean
with broom.
Wade Hampton can now retire on his
laurels and it is really quite unnecessary
for General Hancock to favor the public
with any further emissions on the tariff
question. The popular conviction is
that the Morey letter forgery will now
last until the I'd of November.
In running down the present position
of the Democratic party on the tariff
question, it becomes necessary to en-
ploy the tactics of the German, who, in
searching for lost pig, told his boy to
take one side of the creek while he would
take the other, as the porker might be
on both.
With all the invidious criticisms
which have been lavished by the organs
of his own party upon General Hancock,
there still exists very close bond IF
sympathy between the Democracy and
the superb candidate. This is forcibly
illustrated in the fact that the former is
promptly salivated whenever the latter
begins to run at the mouth.
In Indiana it is known that 55 per
cent. of the National vote went to the
Republicans last week, and that 90 per
cent. of the remainder will go to them
in November. In one township in Park
county, SO Democrats have been secured
incidentally in the effort to get the Ma
tionsl voters all back into the Republi-
can camp. 1t will require little money
or effort to largely increase the Ohio and
Indiana majority in November.
1t is Intimated that the Democracy
are to be electrified in few days by an
appeal from Mr.. Tilden, urging them to
rally for the final contest under the in
spring gonfalOn Of Hancock and Eng
lish. If our memory serves US we be-
lieYe the sage of Cipher Alley cast the
heaven Of his magnetic influence into
Ohio canvass just few days before the
Democrats were buried under Republi-
can majority of 10000 In that state.
Probably one of the most unique of
the many incongruities Of the Democrat
ic national canvass is the sharp polarity
existing between the respective charac-
tiers of General Hancock and Bill Eng
lish. When the soul recoils from the
contemplation of the monumental parsi.
mony Of the latter, it is intensely grateful
to turn to the ample muni6cence of his
political chief, who, even when solicited
for 50 trifiing thing as an opinion on
any of the current issues Of the canvass,
gives himself away with princely gen.
erosity.
