MEMOABLE WODS.

Lineoln’a Opinion f Hancock “.Some of the older general have said to me that he is rash, and l have •'‘aid to them that I have watched General Hancock's conduct very carefully, and l have found that when he goes into action he achieves his purpose and. romes out with a smaller list of casualties than any of them. If his life and health is spared I believe General Hancock is destined to be one of the most distinguished men of the aye." We have no reason to doitbt that THOSE WHO WORE THE GRAY WILL FTLSU.I. »U. THKV HAVE PRO WISED IV LOYai.ty to th k si. ais a nii n'it «'N - General Gram.

The n -xt Governor on the 28th.— Don’t fail to hear him. — Bob Ingersoll says the result in Muine is “Damned bad.” Grand Torchlight Procession of Hancock Legions in the evening. Messrs. Esau Hart and Jas. Pefley, of Remington, oalle 1 in to see us yesterday. —4+fr.* Saturday evening tho republicans hereabouts cheered tho fusion triumph in Maine. Good sign. The report that the DePauws of Now Albany had gone over to tho radicals is denied by them in a curd. T wenty-two Union Generals engaged canvassing Indiana for Hanoock. The bloody-shirt will have to rest. Mr. Williams, of Kentland, son inlaw of Mr. John Makeever, and family are visiting friends here this week. Albert G. Porter, the Republican candidate for Governor, when in Congress. voted against the legal-tender power of the Greenback. Hon. Frank Landers challenged his competitor, Hon. A. G. Porter, to meet him in joint discussion at this place next Tuesday, but he declined.

Road the : ‘DissectiOD of Garfield,” by Vice President Hendricks. It will be found on the first page of this Sentined. We invite.for it an attentive perusal. Before the election in Maine ’’Dirty Dog” Logan was asked how they expocted to carry that State? Ho reepended: ’’Buy it, by G—d!” But it was not for sale. Radicals still con tine the importa Eon of negroes into this State. Let Democrats everywhere throughout the State be on the alert. Permit no illegal votes to be cast. And now Biuino says the Republicans of Maine sold out. Heartless man, to go back on your followers in that style. Get down upon your knees before Mulligan, again. The Democratic meetings held throughout the county, and the sue cess attendihg the organization of Demoeractic Clubs, is very encouraging to the Democracy. Tho old meu aud the young are up and doing.

The Hancock Legion made a brilliant display at this place Monday evening. Every uniform was filledHad it been desired that all join in the procession, without reference to uniforms, the number in line would have been trippled. The Washington Post says: “One of the gratifying signs or the times is seen in the fact that, tho y»ung men of the country - those just comin on the stage of political action, arc. largely allying themselves with the Democratic party. The anxiety of tho Republican for the success of those only whore its patronage lay, was uncovered by us, and this week it lets go the sheriff and flies to the. help of its candidate for congress. Wonder if it thinks there’s u remote chance for the post office.

There are more than 1,000,000 more Democratic votes in the North than in the South. Tho vote of 1870 was as follows: Democratic voto in the South, - - - 1.014,100 Democratic vote North, - 2,071,400 Total, - - 4,280,500 Now taik “solid Wouth.” ludica tious point to a “solid North” for the Democracy. Union soldiors will bear in mind the principles for which they fought anp vote the vroy they sho:,--Monli-i f.-110 Herald There, now, Generals Slocum, Sig *l> Irwin, aud eighteen or tweoty other Union Generals distinguished in the late war, for Hancock & English, do you hear that v True, the Herald boys seen no service at the front, but they have performed faithful duty in tho post office for lo these many years, and hesitate to give it up.

Much ado has been made by Democrats ns to the number of voters in the ranks, last Saturday night. We are informed on good authority, that by actual count there were one hundred and fifty voters in the procession and are authorized by responsible parties to say. that if money is a consideration in tho matter, they are ready to substantiate their statement as the number above named.—Republican. Well, we counted them three times, give them credit with the highest number, with this result: Whole number, - 149 Boys, 56 Number of voters, 93 We accept our own authority, subetantiated by personal observation, over and above that of any other. Mr. Graham Morocco Courier, called in to see us this morning.

T he radical bosses are making great preparations for their rally, and judging from the efforts put forth they expect to be a success. Gen. Thomp* son is working with all his might, aud supervising arrangements generally. “Chief boss" of his party, in Jasper county, he cannot indulge the tho’t that he must lose his “grip” through the success of the opponents of his party.

It was certuinly cheering to the hearts of Democrats and Nationals last Saturday evening to witness the delight of tho radicals over the sue-' cess of fusion in Maine. To see po litical backsliders like the consul and the greenback join with such stalwarts as Gilman, Bishopp, General Thompson and the other 144 men and boys in loud huzzas over the discomfiture of Blaine wasasightnot to be seen more than once in a life time. Tiie radical papers keep this stand ing injthcir columns: “I vvili tell you whom I think the Republicans should nominate and whom I consider their strongest man ******* Genor d James A. Garfield, of Ohio.” Don, Thomas A. Hendricks, in May, 1880.” And now turn to tho first page of this Sentinel, and therojsee the correct estimate of “their strongest man” as expressed by Mr, Hendricks. Mr. H. permits Garfield to establish his own character; but for this he might be charged with playing a shabby trick upon tho opposition. And now, if lie is the “best” and “strongest man” in their party, what oan be said of their other aspirants.

W. W. Dudley, U. S. Marshal in this State, says Democrats throughout Indiana, reported to him by his parsun allies as not entitled to vote, are "spotted”, and will be arrested if they offer to east a ballot. We trust no Democrat will offer an illegal ballot’ At the same time let none who have a clear right be iutimidated by the threats of this creation of • fraud.— He will be shorn of his “little brief authority,’ on ths advent of Hancock’s administration. We will add that the anxiety of Dudley to Increase tho radical voting population of Indiana, induced many good Democrats over the State to proeure “little memorandum books,” like Oakeft Ames’, and they have enrolled the names of many of Dudley’s friends, ornamenting thorn with a spot, and the number of radical ’’spotted” characters far exceed those in the Democratic ranks.

From preparations made by the radicals for their torch-light parade no one supposed it would number less than 300 meu in line Saturday night, but to tho surprise of Democrats and mortification of the radicals, but 140 could be drummed out including 5G boys. After marching through some of the strsets und command of the chief of the Rensselaer Post Office Department, they were Drought to a halt in fiont of the Opera House, and addressed by Messrs. Gilman, Bishopp and Thompson.— The palaver of Gilman and Bishopp soon thinned out the audience. Mr. Thompson announced when the rally would come off, invited “all tho world and the rest of manking” to attend, informed them that handsome prizes and presents were in store for those who would b* ou and closed by asking if any one lmd heard from Maine?
