Hold on to that army commission. General Han
cock. You'll want it.
As usual, the Democrats have scarcely got started
IN their campaign before damaging shot from their
alleged leading organ has wounded them seriously.
They are complaining among themselves now tina.
that Swayne- Garfield SANDER of The Worhs has
done them moro harm than anything else. Ihey say
1t was so outrageous that it has utterly ruined inc
mud-snging business since the public declares
that party which Is caught telling lie like that
cannot BIO trusted to tell the truth about an oppo-
nent nnder any circumstances. The result Is that
the party IS all out Of ammunition at the opening OF
the fight and can do nothing but try to defend u
sol. oganst the 81 ,e s Tins The sna
tion wears o very familiar aspect. IL was c'ci
thus.
The Republican party is solid, and it has solid
North behind 1t.
A sure way for the Republicans to increase their
majority would be for them to circulate photographs
of English He looks exactly his letter of accept
aDce reads.
WHY don't the Democrats call conference III
would give the solid Southern statesmen chance
to show Hancock that if the bayonet IS not d ut
instrument for collecting the votes OF freemen the
shotgun in the hands of a bulldozer Is useiui
instrument i'll scattering them.
The Republican party does not ask for a Change"
So much can be inferred from the speeches at its
conference What il does ask for is n continuance
of prosperity and continuance of the old fight for
law and order until that fight be won. IL does
not believe in fighting for cause for twenty years,
and then giving way for "chapge which VIII
undo all that has been accomplished Inc country
ia of the Same opinion by sufficient majority to
a. rt,ali I
South and its Northern sympathizeIs IN crime that
the only change" open for 1t is the complete rec
ignition of The rights OF all men, Diack as well az
white.
Secretary Shermans stirring speech at the con-
ference does not doveta exactly with the la5orious
yarns of the Democratic journals about quarrel
between him and Garfield. In fact oil the Republi-
can "oualTelsD are in az feeble condition us the
Democratic hopes OF success.
Alabama responds with 10000 majority to Wade
Unpptoa's appeal to the South to consider what
Lee aud Jackson would do were they alive. These
are the same principles for which they fought for
four years." The Northern Democratic press il not
so enthusiastic over the victory the figures ought
10 make IT, Perhaps they realize that the size or
the majority jars unpleasantiy when uttered IN the
same breath with Hancocks shout for Tree Da!io',
