MEMO ABLE WODS Lincoln's Opinion < f Hancock“Some oj the older general have Said to me that he is rash, and 1 have said to them that I have watched General Hancock's conduct very carefully t and I have found that when he goes into action he achieves his purpose and comes out with a smaller list of casualties than any of them. If his life and health is spared I beheve General Hancock is destined to be one of the most distinguished men of the aeje” V7e hive no reason to doubt that THOSE WHO WORE THE GRAY WILL FTLPILL ALL THEY HAVE PROMISED IN LOYALTY to the flag and nation. —General Grant. Al. Kitt, ot the Goodland Herald, mode us a short visit to-day. Read speech of Col, Vilus, Letter from Gen. Hancock on rebel claims* etc., on first page. The Democratic meeting last Friday night, is conceded to be the largest night meeting ever held at this place. Democrats are offering to trade ■Welsh for Nickel votes.—Republican. A trick of the enemy. Not a word of truth in it. When Maine revolts at Garfield’s record it is time for calm reflection. They’ve been reading it up there, and their verdict is “no good.” Barkley township, one of ths contestants for the prize, Monday, more than doubled that representation at the rady on Tuesday. Good for Barkley. I he people of Democratic Arkansas defeated a proposition to repudiate a part of the State debt, refusing to follow the example ot Republican Monesota.

GOOD CHEER FROM PENNSYLVANIA.

Correspondence of the Sentinel. Philadelphia, Sept. 25,1880. Editor Sentinel: In the present absorbing political crisis.iwhen the people are resolved more intensely than ever before to rescue the Federal admi iistration from the political Chadbands and Fagins, will it encourage you in Indiana to hear from Pennsylvania that her 29 electoral votes will be given to Hancock and English?— “Impossible—you are feeding us taffy,” I hear some Indiana Democrats reply. It is not impossible, but one of those events awaiting verification, it is Hue, yet as clearly foreshadowed as anything in the future can be. I have been a close observer of the ebbs and tides of polities for over a quarter of a century, especially in Pennsylvania, and I have yet to be deceived or disappointed in the outcome. Never in that time, has the outlook presaged anything so certain on the political horizon. Th© men who made republican success a pos sibility in 1860 are now zealously at work for Hancock & English, on the rostrum and through all the sources of influencing public opinion. The Camerons, after Hayes, are not caring whether their party has a vacation or not. Don puts in an occasional appearance at republican headquarter , an ! drops over to Washington and gives assvrances that the party is all right in Pennsylvania, but ho and his father are more conspicuous on assurances than co-opcratiom Lon has •some kind of a promise from Garfield but he has soured on Ohio statesmen, and privately asserts that that State has the worst breed of eats of any other ia the whole Republican party. Had Grant, or even slimy John Sherman been nominated at Chicago, do you imagine for a moment that Don would have refused the baton of the campaign • the Chairmanship of the National Committee? He anticipated the nomination of Grant or Blaine, and in either event would have eagerly accepted that position. It was in contemplation of this that ho man iv'.ed the brief term of chairmanship before the Chicago convention, to be his own successor if any o.ie of the proposed candidates should be nomi nated. Don believes, as do a large number es Ohio republicans, some of whom, away from home, make no reserve of saying that “Jim Garfield played sharp on John Shefman—now let him lake care of himself,” ami ho regards it a religious duty not to be too effusive in labor for the slaught I‘ier of his uncle. Now you have some of the reasons why the Camerons arc not enthused over Garfield—and with thorn practically out of the cauvass.it is like the pluy # of Hamlet with the melancholy Dane eliminated from the cast.

John Cessna, chairman of the republican State committee, one of the lowest tricksters in the State essayed to arouse the inert republican mass by inaugurating a canal boat campaign, after the manner of 1840, but it has proved a dismal failure, and only added to the contempt for him that very many or his own partisans do not disguise. On the other hand the Democracy never were so earnest, so cordially united. The early outburst manifested after the Cincinnati convention has been intensified rather than abated as the campaign progressed, The jubilant and resolute Democracy arc cheered by accessions from the republican ranks who admire Hancock, are grateful for his services to the country, ami think it time to call a halt on the centralizing tendencies of the republican leaders. They have grown weary of their stale sectional 'appeals, and refuse longer to respond to them. These accessions are from all classes, and scarcely, if any, single locality of the State is without more or less of them. Not a solitary Democrat can I recall of hearing {who has left the ranks, or threatened to do so, and go for Garfield. Some have been naified as having done so, but in every instance the allegation has been promptly met personally by emphatic and indignant denials. Whatever you may do In Indiana and Ohio on the 12th of October, will not prevent Pennsylvania from giving her 29 electoral votes to Hancock & English. If Indiana shall maintain her place in the Democratic column it will add to our Democratic majority. My advices from Ohio are hopeful, and I prefer them to sanguine declarations, because it is naturaliy a republican State, by a meagre majority, and they have the candidate, such as he is, and that will have some influence.

Don’t understand me as apprehending that Indiana will shift her political moorings. I wiil not allow myself to imagine that as a possibility. I look for you to give Frank Landers, who has borne himself so admirably in the contest, anywhere from fifteen to twenty-five thousand majority. What an inspiration that will be. and what a distinction it will give to Indiana! h. The repubs are arranging for a mass meeting here to-night. They promise 25,0CX) in line for a procession.They may make the pledge good, as they have a basis of 19,000 Federal, State, County and City officials to start with, and they have raised SIOO,000 to pay the expense. Blaine will be here positively, but whether to explain Maine, or to give the carmine under garment another whirl, I must wait to see. H.

Frank B. Meyer took his departure for Philadelphia last Wednesday. Now let the Republican procure a letter from the Monticello band. ■ —» ■ Thanks to Delphi band for serenade Monday night,

Ovation to Landers 1 * Tuesday was a proud day for the Democracy ot Jasper. Notwithstanding the boasted strength of radicalism. Notwithstanding the fact that Porter refused to meet Landers, and was appointed for this place the day before in hopes that it would operate against the Democracy, and that an opportunity might be afforded to direct their followers to remain at home and not swell the crowd the next day. Notwithatanding the great inducements held out to townships sending the largest delegations, and %ther promises male but unfulfilled, the hopes of the “ring” were dashed to the ground. The Democracy turn. e<l out in their might, end in numbers far exceeded the radical rally ot Monday. Utter amazement was depicted upon the countenances of radicals. In the first moments of their surprise expressions came forth, net intended, but well calculated to encourage the Democratic heart. The speeches of Messrs. Landers and Cai v were well received by the vast multitude. The procession presented a magnificent spectacle. The thunderingsof the brass 12- pounder height- ! eneh the excitement and enthusiasm. ! In the evening the procession far exceeded that of the previous evening. The Novyels House, Halloran House, Cotton House, residences of Mrs. Dr, O. C. Link, Mrs. Judge Hammond, Dr. Loughridgc, Link! Hopkins, J. W. Duvall and others were handsomely illuminated. All in all. the Democracy of Jasper have cause for encouragement. They provided for Jasper county the grandest rally ever held within its limits. While no doubt it was productive of great good to the Demuratic cau e, it also opened the eyes of the radical “ring”, which has controlled the nominations. doled out the offices to favorites, directed the management and shared the proceeds, to the fact that work—energetic, unscrupulous work, would be necessary to save its “grip." Untiring vigilance and watchfulness will thwart all such efforts on the part of the “ring. Democrats, stand firm at. your posts until the last ballot is counted, and victory is yours.

Miss May Kendall, of Monticello* lining the week has been the ‘guest of her old school mate, Miss Ana McEwen. We are informed by a manager on the I. D. & C. RR., that they brought ten car loads Monday to the radical rally, and fourteen, Tuesday, to the Democratic. Forty years ago Maine, on a Sep tember day, “went h—l bent for Got - ernor Kent," and it has kept in that sulphurious direction up Until JJJon day, the 13th, when it got off that incline. The members of the Delphi Society of the Eastern Star who visited Rensselaer last week desire to return thanks for social courtesies to MrsPurcupile, Mrs. Spitler, Mrs. Moss and Mr. Duvall.—Delphi Times. We know of several democrats who are .trying to trade Henry AVelsh, the best man on their ticket for Nickel votes.—Republican. Well, sir, name those “several democrats,” or stand branded as a liar. —:— « Rumor hath it that certain aspirants for county treasuer. defeated at tile republican convention, would willingly sacrifice the successful competitor to gratify revenge. We don’t “know” it. and therefore give no names.

Jere Black says Garfield “made common cause with his political friends and partners, for whom there was no refuge except in a fundamental falsehood. That is, the republican candidate fur President lied and lied knowingly. If any veter has the curiosity to know how Garfield stood on the arrears of pension bill, let him procure the Congressional Record, volume 5, part G, Ist session of the 44th Con gross, pages 5.054 and 5,055. It will there be found that he lanored to defeat the measure and voted against it. The New York Tribune is now one of the lustiest of Garfield’s supporters and apologists? Did it libel him in December, 1874, when it charged him with “guilty connivance in a half million steal from the treasury?” On the contraiy a republican committee found him guilty in manner and form as indicted by the Tribune and hundreds of other republican journals. The Repulican says that “ata democratic meeting the other day in Ben. ton county, * ♦ * * ODe of the over sanguine auditors proposed three cheers for Hancock and the southern confederacy.” No doubt he was an “over sanguine” cuss of the same political faith as his friend who, on Friday night yelled for Jeff. Davis. He proved to be a full fledged radical.

Now for Indiana! Maine directs the way. O hio will be in line. West Virginia is on the same track for the 12th of October, and lowa will be terribly shaken up. lowa is one of the few States that will throw away its electoral vjte on Garfield & Arthur But the fight is in Indiana. That is recognized all along the line The Radical National Committee hae exhausted all the money it coufd squeeze out of their official retainers, down to the very scrub women in the departments at Washington, and are covering the State with colored recruits to carry Indiana. They spent, by their own coufession, $150,000 in Maine. Well, let ’em scatter their cash in Indiana. Our people are not a marketable commodity. They are not merchandise. They are men who do their own thinking and voting, and a majority of fifteen to twenty-five thousand for Frank Landers in October will prove to the world that the Republieans haven’t a Jewell equal to their purchase.

■■Judge Hammond and Dr. O. C Link, republicans, Ruminated their residences Monday evening; their democratic’ wives illuminated on Tuesday evening. NOTICE.— Frank Leslib’s Weekly. The only Democratic Illustrated Newspaper published—will be sent post-paid for five weeks (until end of campaign) for Thirty Agents wanted in every town. Send 30 ctsfor five weeks subscription,or6cents in postage stamps for sample copy and Illustrated Catalogue. Clubs of four will be sent for five weeks, for one dollar. Address Frank Leslie Publishing Co., 15 Dey Street, New York. Will George W. Burk, the republican nominee for Commissioner, second district, please rise and explain to the fax-payers of Jasper county whether, if elected, he will vote to appropriate a sufficient sum of money to construct a grade and bridge over the Irroquois river, one half mile a ove the Pullius bridge, that will cost not less than $2,003? The same is being urged at present by himself, and a petition on file in which he is principal. A Taxpayer.

Tin radicalpapershave grave cause for dissatisfaction with the heavy bur - den thrown them in this campaign. The damaging things so wideg iy published about Garfield & Arthur, unfitting them, and in any other party d sjualifyii g them for a candidacy for any public trust become the more exasperating because of their ventilation in the first i s ance through their own columns when it could not be that Garfield & Arthur would ever be their own candidates, and they would have to eat their own leeks. Pity ’tis, but more pity still that, like Conkling and Sherman, th< y prefer the party collar to escaping the mire and filth through which they are wading. The next morning after Garfield s nomination at Chicago,the New York Times, the leading radical journal ot the Uni««d States, exclaimed, “Spare us a campaign of calumny!" If the Chicago convention had been as wise as the Times, even half us well informed, we may be assured that Jas, A. Garfled would not have been its dernier resort to break a dead lock. The New York Herald of June 11th in contemplation of the serious character of the charges, and forcod, unwillingly, to acknowledge them true, said Garfield’s only escape from ths painful dilemma was, not the weak pleas volunteered in his defence, but frank confession, or indictments for libel. He has adopted neither alternative, beyond the involuntary con sessions forced from him before the Poland committee on the Credit “obilier transaction, and when broughto book on the $5,000 bribe to put through the appropriation for the De Golyer pavement swindle. It is significant that if he commenced the indictment line of vindication have to indict two-thirds ofrepublican, and about allot’ tile Democratic editors in the country. In the face of his confessions he’d have a deal of costs to pay. The public are indebted to Dr. J. C Ayer & Co., not only for their standard medicinal preparations, but also for improving the looks of the community by jheir incomparable Hair Vigor.

Na ional Democratic Platform- ■ The Democrats of the United States in Con_ vent ion assembled declare: 1. We pledge ourselves anew to the constitutional doctrines and traditions of the Democratic partv 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. 2. Opposition to centralization, and to that dangerous spirit of encroachment which tends to consolidate in one, and thus to create whatever the form of government a real despotism; ao sumptuary laws; separation of ehurch and state for the good of caeh; common schools fostered and protected. 3. Home rule, honest money, consisting of gold and silver and paper convertible into coin du demand; the strict maintenance of the public faith, State and National, and a tariff lor revenue only. i The subordination of the military to the civil power, and a genuine and thorough reform of the civil service. The right to a iree '•m'iiot is a right preservative of all rights, and must and shall be maintained in every part'd th-.- Unit'd States. 5. The existingadministrntion is ihe representative of conspiracy only, ami its claim of right to surround the ballot-boxes with troop- and Deputy Marshals to intimidate and ob-irc . the alectors, and the unprecedented use of ike veto to maintain its corrupt and despotic er, insults the people and imperils their instil ;itio'.is. G. We execrate the course oi this admi nisi ration in making places in the civil service a reward for political crime, and demand a reform by statute, which shall make it forever impossible for a defeated candidate to bribe his way 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 be President, and for the first time in American history the will of the people was set aside under a threat, of military violence, struck .«. c-mt.y blo'4 at our system of representative g-iv -nine . •. The Democratic party, to preserve the country from the liorrois of a civil w.ir, submitted for the time in ih - firm and pm . h.die belief that the people would pnn'sli this .. rime in 1880. This issue precedes and dwarfs every o’ i.er. It imposes a more sacred duty upon the i rnplc of the Union than ever addressed the cousci mci s of a Nation of freemen. 8. The resolution of Samuel J.
