GENERAL GARrlELu.s RECORD

The leading republican organs In Indiana
have dropped the issues Of the campaign and
concentrated their forces in vilainous per.
sonal abuse of Mr. HENDRICKS. This shallow
device is intended to draw public attention
from the record Of General JAMES \. GAR.
FIELD, but 1t will not have that cllect.-Demo.
cratic organ.
If the above were true it would be very
sad, but not being true in any degree it is
still more sad to have the beauties and
harmonies of the campaign marred by out
night mendacity. The republican organs
of Indiana are making q gallant fight on
the issues Of the campaign, and their only
notable diversion was occasioned by Mr..
HENDRIcRs' wanton and malicious assaults
upon General GARFIELD. When HEN
DRIcEs introduced that line of tactics into
the campaign he made himself legitimate
target for retOrt, and the opportunity was
not lost on him. If he has suffered from
an encounter that he himself provoked it
would be more manly for himself and his
admirers if they would bind up his wounds
stiae his cries Of suffering and get him
away where the canvass would not be dis
turhed by his h0wiugs and their lamenta-
tions.
So far as General GARFIgLD's record is
concerned his friends have no anxiety on
that score. Not q particle of the dirt cast
at him by the democratic mud-slingels has
been made to stick aud botch his fair fame.
That shines out through the fog of delama-
tion with increased brilliaucy. He Is far
more respected and beloved by the Ameri-
can people than he vas before the petty
slander-mills of the democratic party were
opened upon him. Indeed, his most stall
wart defenders against the assaults made
upon him to blucken his reputation are
eminent and highly respectable democrats,
who have gone farther in his defense, if that
be possible, than his most Jealous defenders
in the republican ranks. Since their de-
fense was inteposed and made public the
republicans have regarded their efforts in
that behalf as being largely superseded by
such inteTposition. The defense Of General
GARFIELD by leading democrats Of national
reputation, and by the more respectable
and influential journals Of the democratic
party has left very little for the republic
cans to do in that direction beyond dil'u.
sion Of these kind and honorable express
sions among tho voting people In that
view we will now present 10 our readers
the utterances Of witnesses whose tes.

ducers can or dare attempt to impeach.

REPUDIAriNG DEMOCRATS IN ARKAN

The World went off halfcocked again
upon the result of the vote upon repudia-
tion in Arkansas. Claiming that the amend
ments repudiating the debt Of the state had
been defeated by large majority, it gave a
column of enthusiastic praise to the demo-
Gratis OF Arkansas, eXclaimiug: Every
"holder Of the securities of the United
"States is directly interested in the triumph
" Of the spirit which dedicates the vote of
" Arkansas to honesty and to HANCOCK"
Now the truth is that there is no major
ity at all in Arkansas against the repudiat-
ing amendment. There is large majority
in favor Of it, although ii is hoped that the
majority for the amendment is not major
ity Of all the votes cast at the election
many persons having voted for state
officers without voting either way on the
amendments. This is not a victory for
honesty. The failure, if failure there is, is
due to apathy, not to honesty.
We also commend to the attention of the
World and to the consideration of the
holders of United States securities every.
where the pregnant fact that every vote
given for reputation of debt in Arkansas
was presumably that of democrat. The re-
pub lican convention, its speakers and tscan
did0tes were unanimously pledged against
the amendment, while the democratic party
was split upon the question, the large
fraction having voted for the FisHBAcK
amendment
But whether the amendment is carried
OF defeated viii matter little to the cred.

has been elected, which will do as its prede,

The spirit which dedicates the vote of

deed, well worthy of the attention of in

THE democrats held sort of love feast
at Rocky Mount, Va, last week, no doubt
in the interest of union and harmony be
tween the warning factions of that party.
Major DANIELS, the funder leader, made a
speech to a large assemblage, and was
treated with marked respect. Then fol-
lowed Mr. STovALL, the readjuster candi-
date for congress, who seemed to give offense
by some remark to the funder portion of
his audience, and a general scrmmage

The Sentinel Of this city has dug up an
act Of General GARFIELD's which it fam
cies is to work his early demolition MS an
expectant for the presidency. 1t is moth
ing more nor less than that General GAR
FIELD aided in the passage of resolution
IN a democratic congress which created o
special committee of the house on the alco-
holc traffic. This is his great olfcnse for
which the Sentinel demands his execution
as presidential candidate. In this our
cotemporary dwarls the issues of n presi-
dental campaign and congresses them into
q small bottle of alcoholic drinks or into
the etfervescing contents Of II cask of beer.
This may be the widest view of statesman
ship that our cotemporary can accommo-
date, but it will fail to commend itself TO
the sober judgment of the more intelligent
and upright portion of the American people.
The more the democrats press such insig-
nilicant questions upon the canvass the
more they will swell General GARFIEI.D's
majority, for 10 good citizen, be he demo.
crat or republican, can be made to regard
the alcoholic liquor traffic as the supreme
object of our national existence.

So! We'll, by inference, what would have
been the course of General w. S. HANCOCK
had the battle of Gettysburg resulted in u
victory for the confederates? His present

have been his attitude in such contin-

mjor.general, of course. A robust, con-
tented, democratic major general Of the
confederacy. Nothing transient would have
suited him. His recognition of that sound,
constitutional, successful democrat JEFF
DAVIS, as his commander.in.chief would
have been prompt enough to have insured
him the privilege of seeing that the inau.

the sack of Philadelphia would have been
easily blotted from the minds of those who
had all along looked upon the war for the
union MS an unconstitutional attack upon
the democratic party. Such men would
have cheerfully renounced the 'lost causen
Of the union and sworn an enthusiastic
allegiance to the new conicdcmcy whose
cornerstone was human slavery. And this
view of the picture would have suited the
Gazette even better than that which shows

THE New York SuR few days ago as
serted that in certain contingencies Gov
ernOr CORNELL would call the legislature
Of New York in special session that it might
take into its own hands the appointment
of the thirty-fve presidential electors. To
this suggestion the Herald, after advancing
several objections says;
There is a still stronger reason The
chances Of the republican party for elccting
its ticket by the ordinary and accepted meth
DDS are so favorable that they need not resort
to an expedient which would rouse and shock
the country. Let Indiana 80 us It will, the
republicans need not despair of New York,
They have in their hands the patronage of the
state government; the splendid revival of bus.
imcss operates in their favor; the election of all
their candidates last fall, with single excep.
tion, accounted for by the extraordinary per.
soua popularity of young Mr., SEYMOUR, gives
them just reason to think that the state is
theirs, Why should they have recourse to a
boomerang when their prospects are so good ?

After an irregular aud rather weak opening to-day
the stock market suddenly developed an uneX-
pected strength which continued without material
reactions TO the end The special for the sud
den change in the temper of the market were liberal
orders from Saratoga to buy stocks, some of which
were sold for the same persons at much less prices
and alleged cable orders from Americans, now in
London and Paris. to buy Central and Hudson
stock These orders impaired buOyancy TO the
whole market equal to anything that was witnessed
before the Nav decline. Central and Hudson, which
last night closed ut 129ai opened at 100, and
TO 1925 closing at 1919. Lake Shore and Mich
igan Central followed with advances of ID and IS
per cent respectively and Canada Southern from
1869 to 81 - Neither was Erie neglected although
It's total advance was only % per cent. The gran
gers again were active and higher than last night
but Northwest and st. Paul sold only d higher than
their best prices yesterday. Among the Southwest
ems, Missouri Kansas and Texas was specially firm
rising from 80 TO 3724a37l2, and the others show
gains of from 80 to Is per cent. Mobile and Ohio
stock rose from 204 to 23a22. notwithstanding
that all the debenture bonds of the company
amounting to about $S,000.000, which entitled
to receive per cent per annum before the stock
can receive anything, and which also possess the
voting powers at elections for directors, were
weaker Western Union was comparatively dull.
Int in final sales shows an advance of g per cent
The coal stocks were dull but in sympathy with
the general market were strong. Referring to our
remarks of yesterday on the condition of
the coal trade the following from The
Engineering and Mining Journal of to-day IS of in
terest, and particularly important, because that
journal heretofore has been inclined to take hope
full view of the situation "The mines generally
are working only three days in the week but the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company seems to be acting
independently, for It's Nanticoke mines have been
working steadily six days in the week. while their
neighbors Of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Company
have been idle one-haf the time. Evidently there
is some little lack of cooperation here, and 1t may
| be only the FIRST OF those acts which. sooner or
