By highwaymcn last night and the

compelled all the passengers TO get
out and stand in line and ordered
them at pistols point to give up all
their property. The travellers were
unable to resist successfully, SO they
had to SHE'LL ont. The robbers took
possession of all their money, iewelry
and watches, aggregating in value a
bout one thousand and two hundred

The light is breaking in on the "par
ty" The Newton, Mass, Republican
has concluded that JAS. A. Garfield is a
bad and corrupt man, and calls upon It's
readers to either not vote at all or
vote for Hancock. The Republican is
described as "a paper of considerable in.
fuence in the State, and lifelong do
fender OF the Republican party"
Brick Pomeroy is publishing paper
at Denver, Colorado, and until Wea-
yer went to Alabama, be was strong
backer Of Greenbackisnl. Now Porae.
roy is for Hancock and in defence OF his
changed opinion says: There is no
question but Weaver haze sold out TO the
Republican party and GreenbacIers can
no longer consistently support him; that
thore is nothing to hope from Garfield,
and that the best thing for Greenjack-
ers to do is - support General Hancock
who Is free lrou political ciiques and
whose honesty is un4uestioned." Pome-
roy then sails into Weaver in his usual
style and concludes with an urgent ap-
peal for Hancock, predicting his election.
n. Y. SUN: 1--WE observe the state
ment in one Of our contemporaries that
Gen. Hancock recently returned from n
visit to Greystone. This is good indi-
cation. Gen. Hancock may derive the
greatest advantage from frequent visits
to the sage of Greystone Mr.. Tilden's
opinions and advice will be Of greater
advantage to him in the campaign, and
during his administration if he is cleo
ted, than barrels Of money. There is no
trucr American; 10 deeper tinker; no
more profound political philosopher no
more sincere patriot living than Samuel
j. Tildcu."
Col. John W Forncv, ono OF the ~
bost and bravest Republican, in the u
nitcd States. is dealing sIcdge-hammcr
blows for Hancock. After Gar6eld's
nomination, but before that Of Hancock.
he said some kind things Of Garfield. -
Recently in explaining his reasons for
supporting Hancock he rail he had not
beOn in Washington I've times in ten
years, and had but little knowledge of
the corrupt career Of tho public men
aud none Of tho actions Of Garfield. He
then goes on 20 Say:

Upon these three fundamental

Returning to the savage looking mon
