SIMON CAMERON 81 eau truthfully say
that no man could have been nominated
that would regard as stronger man than
Garfield, and no nomination could have been
made that could please me better"
BESIDES Senator Roscoe Conkling, Con-
gresham Horr OF Michigan, Hon. William
7. Frye oil Maine, Senator w. 7. Kellogg OF
Louisiana and other well-known Republicans
will probably soon take the stump in this
state.
COLONEL INGERsoLL: "There was some
enthusiasm among the Democrats at first,
but can't tell whether 1t was on account OF
Hancock's nomination or an evidence OF Joy
at getting nd OF Iilden. l think, though,
1T was the latter"
GENERAL EWING thinks that the mud.
throwers at General Garfield had better stop
operations, as there Is no prospect That MS
good name can be affected by TINS mode Oh
attack, certainly not In ONO where General
uarneid Is well Known
DoUGHERTY, the Philadelphia lawyer who
so brilliantly nominated General Hancock at
Cincinnati, is to be one of the attractions Of
the Vermont Democratic convention at Bur
llng'on 'ne zzd' uenerais FRANKLIN ana

New YORK Independent: "The nomina-
ton OF General Hancock is an effort of the
Democratic party to disguise its history UNI
der the glare OF military name. The as
sumption that 1T will succeed supposes that
the American people have very short men,
cries.
HAD E. p. Walton's speech at Rutland
been reported as it was spoken, that little
criticism would not have been made. The
Democrats OF the north who fought the
Union army in the rear while the rebels
fought it in front were styled cooper
heads" These and these only.
KENNEBEc Journal: "On account of the
Infamous attempt to steal the state by the
false count of the governor and council, Dan
lei f. Davis will be elected this year by ten
thousand majority, every district will elect
Republican congressman, and we shall
have the Legislature by our oldfashioned
majority"
The Golden Rule Independently "The
hearty enthusiasm with which the nomina-
ton of Garfield has been received, by both
the stalwart' and independent Republicans,
shows that clean, strong, cultured man is
appreciated, and such a man will be elected
this year, as the people have had taste of
the kind and like it,"
LONDON Spectator: General W. S. Han.
cock holds the idea of the war Democrats
that it was necessary to crush the rebellion,
but that each southern state should after
ward have been left to manage its own pop
ulation for itself. His election would not
restore slavery, but it would, we fear, vrtu-
ally disfranchise the negroes"
THE indianapolis Neps, Republican pa.
per, denies that w. II. English was ever a
member of the Knights of the Golden Circle,
reasonable order in Indiana during the
war English has his faults, but disloyalty
is not one of them. Mr.. English's profitable
investments in federal bonds would scarcely
have been made by a disloyal man.
THOSE who have watched General Gar.
field during his long career in congress must
often have been struck with his remarkable
facility in discussing at short notice any
question that may arise. This is largely
due to the fact that he has for twenty years
been accuuulating what is perhaps now the
best collection of scrap-books in the country.
SECRETARY THOMPSON informed an au.
dience at Terre Hante Indiana Saturday
night that the " right If every citizen 10
vote will be maintained at the coming cleo.
tions. if necessary by all the power of the
government, supported, if need be, by the
army and navy" and that all persons, high
and low, rich and poor, would find the pres
ident equal to any emergency.

il our deliberate opinion that the only proper
lust and expressive way in which the south.
ern people could celebrate the Fourth would
be in deyoting it systematically to the abuse

We've been wbinped and know IT, and abide
by it, but Just little indulgence in our
natural feelings occasionally is pleasantly
bitter"
