Letter to L. Hither, of Illinois—Reasons far Supporting Hancock in the Coming CampaignThere can be no reform until the Republican party is defeated. It is the parly of lings, monopolies,corpo-“ rations and aggregated wealth. It Is aiming at the centralization of power j in the Federal Government, and its utter overthrow is the condition precedent to any real reform. The Greenback Labor platform made at Chicago is. on the whole, nc oej de, nub leaver is a worthy nia" but it r: • y souvictiou that to theextm.t we support him we aid in perpetuating Republican misrule. — There is not tLc slightest probability that he will get siugle electoral vote in the United Stares. If he gets one it will be by fusion or affiliation with one or the other of the old parties. In Ohio the organization is in the hands oi the Socialists, and will, command a very insignificant vote. I cau not, and will not, “ m uster ” withjthem„nor give them aid aud comfort. You know as well as I that the elements comprising the Weaver party have no principles-of cohesion. They would quarrel over the adoption of any principles an-, uouneed in the platform. The Democratic party has prevented the withdrawal and cancellation of our greenback currency. When the Republican p rty in Congress, under the whip and spur of the moneypowrr, determined to wipe out our Nation.'.i money, and to-give to banks the t Al lusive power over the circulation, ihe Dernoc: ats in Congress, in obedience to the demands of the people, said no’ a single greenback shall be withdrawn. We owe it to the Democratic party that we have $346,000,000 of green backs in the channels

of busiuc | The Rcpubhbuu party stealthilyand surreptitiously, aud in the night, demonetized si.vcr. The Democrat*, true to the popular voice, interposed and remonetized silver, in spite of the veto. The Democrats have shown that they arc not ruled by rings and monopolies, but listen to the voice of the people, The Democratic party assisted in electing De La Matyr, Weaver, Gillette. aud other currency reformers to Congress. Neither of them will ever be returned to Congress without a similar affiiliation. Our party is everywhere powerless, unless it can get the co-operation of one of the old parties. The times am too serious,in my judgment, to be simply foraging on 'both sides of the line, while agreat battle is impending. I believe that the Democratic party, when it knows the will, will yield to the demand of •the masses. I know that the Repub lican party looks for its support to the bondholders, bankers, usurers and shylocks.and would have a strong Government to rule the people, with or without their consent. I am aware that many Greenback sheets will howl about my disaffection, and denounce me as a traitor to the cause. I can survive all such attacks, because I shall uot swerve from the path of duty, as Isee it. I recognize no master but my own convictions i f right. I shall still hold aloft the banner inscribed with the doctrines which I have labored to inculcate for twelve years and shall vote only in such a way as I think I can make them most successful. Our principles are couslantly growing in favor, but tlu- Greenback Labor party m not gaining strength, the “seven by nine - siu-ets” which howl so li -'ily to the contrary, notwithstar. > g. Var . the prediction— Wen 'i' arui C.. Ambers will uot receive an electoral tote in the United S aie.-', ui.kss by fusion. So far as tiu> votes iunuunt to anything, the result will aid h perpetuating Re-prhlk-an misrule Whatever I might do in any other State, in Ohio I tLull vote for Hau.cock as Lie best thing I can do in this emergency.

Hail’s Vegc-toble Sicilian Hair Renewer is highly recommended by physicians, clergymen and scientists as a preparation accomplishing won' derful results. It is entirely harm* less, and a certain remedy for remov. ing dandruff, making tne scalp white and clean, and restoring gray hair to its youthful color. It imparts a'gloss aud freshness to tlio hair which all admire.

It is said, by a well-known Illinois educator that “the average Western farmer toils Imra, early and late, often depriving himself of needed rest and sleep- for what? To raise corn. For what? To feed hogs. For what? To get money with which to buy more land. And what doe»he want with more land? Why, he wishes to raise more corn—to feed more hogs —to buy more land—to raise more corn—to feed more hogs—and in this circle he moves, until God Aimighty stops his hoggish proceeding.” Gray hair may he made to take on its youthful color and beauty by the use of Hall’s Vegetable Sicilian Hair Renewer, the best preparation for the hair known to the science of medicine and chemistry.

C Evansville Courier: It is a significant evidence of the “mutability of human affairs” that in 1865 Secretary Stanton complimented General Hancock for having captured “nearly all the forces of the rebel guerilla Mosby, and had offered a reward of S2OOO for the capture of Mosby himself.” Now Mosby is a “loil” Republican official, while Hancock is denounced as a traitor and rebel, and everything else that is unpatriotic, by the same party that could not too much praise him for his course in that case. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral is mild and soothing iu its immediate and apparent effects, and possesses far-reach-ing and powerful healing qualities which its persistent use will demonstrate in any case of coughs, colds* throat or lung troubles of any kind. Washington Post: There is not a newspaper printed in the United States nor a text book used in our public schools the cost of which is not increase'’ by the duty on paper and pulp. Mb Garfield prevented the reduction of that tax. This is one of the reasons why he claims support as “the friend of the people.”

A woman near Cairo dressed up as a man to see how much bluff her old husband would take from a stranger. He lodged forty six bird-shot in her legs. Colfax vouches tor Garfield. One lame duck supporting another. A full vote, a free ballot, and a fair count.—Hancock,

ITa tonal Democratic Platform The Democrats of the United Stated in Con. ventloa sept xA.led declare: 1. We pledge ourselves anew to the constitutional doctrines and traditions of the Democratic party as illustrated by the teaching and example of a long line of the Democratic statesman and patriots, and embodied in the platform of the last National Convention Of the party. ■ *. Opposition to centralization, and to that daagerons Bpirit of encroachment which tends to consolidate in one, and thus to create whatever the form of government a real despotism; no sumptuary laws; separation of ehurch and state for the good of eaen; common schools fostered and protected. 8. Home rule, honest money, consisting of gold and silver and paper convertible into coin on demand; the strict maintenance of the public faith, State and Narionu!. and a tariff for revenue only. 4 The snbordinatiorf of the military to the civil power, and a genuine anil thorougha-efoim of the eivll service. The right to a iree -allot is a right preservative of all rights, and mast and shall be maintained in every part of the United States. 5. The exiatingaduiinistratioii is the represen. tative of conspiracy only, and its claim of right to surround the ballot-boxes with troops and Deputy Marshals to intimidate anil obstruct the aiectors, and the unprecedented use of the veto to maintain its corrnpt and despotic power, insults the people and imperils their institutions. 6. We execrate.the course ot this administration !n making places in the civil service a reward for political critne, and demand a reform by statute, which shall make it forever impossible for a defeated candidate to bribe his wav to the seat of a usurper by billeting villains upon the people.

7. The great fraud of 1876 7, by which, upon a false count of the electoral votes of two States, the candidate defeated at the polls was declared to ba President, and forthe first time in American history the will of the people was set aside under a threat of military violence, struck a dead.y blow at our system of representative government. The Democratic party, to preserve the country from the horrors of a civil war, submitted for the time in the firm and patriotic belief that the people would punish this crime in 1880. This issue precedes and dwarfs every other. It imposos a more sacred duty upon the people of the Union than ever addressed the consciences of a Nation of^freemen. 8. The resolution of Samnel J. Tllden not amiiu to be a candidate for the exalted place to which he was eleetad by a majority of his conn trvnien. and from which he was exc uded by the leaders of the Republican party, is received by the Democrats of the United States with deep sensibility, and they declare their confidence in his wisdom, patriotism and integrity unshaken by the assaults of the common eDemv ; and they further assure him that he is followed into the retirement he has chosen for himself by the sympathy and respect of his fellow citizens, who regard him as one who, by.elevating the standard of the public morality and adorning and purifying the public service, merits the lasting gratitude of his country and his party. I|9. Free ships and a living chance for American commerce upon the seas, on the land; nodiscrimi nation in favor of transportation lines, corparations or monopolies. 10. Amendmeat of the Burilugame treaty; no more Chinese immigration except for travel, education and foreign commerce, and therein carefully guarded. 11. Public money and public credit for nblic purposes solely, and public land for actual settlers.

12. The Democratic party is the friend of labor and the laboring man, and pledges itself to protect him, alike against the eormorants and the Com. mnne. 13. We congratulate the country upon the honesty and thrift of a Democratic Congresa, which has reduced the public expenditure $40,000,. 000 a year; upon the continuance of prosperity at home and the National honor abroad, ana, above all, upon the promise of auch a change in the administration of the government as shall Insure a genuine and lasting reform in every department of tb e public service.
