IIOIV. WILLIAM The Candidates for Vice President. Frank Leslie's Illustrated Weekly. The tendency of our politics in rt cnt years has been to belittle the office of Vice President. The standards of capacity by which nominees for that office are measured have rue a steadily lowered until now the politicians hold anybedy who ein control votes to be "good enough for ice Presi dent." Thf re could be no more grievous mistake. The cilice is, in point of fact, one of vast Importance. The incumbent is liable at any moment, in the bszirda of human life, to be called to th Chief Magistracy, and be Bbould be equipped in the largest sense for that possible exigency. Under the present method of counting tbe elf c'oral vote, he exercises an authoriiy and influence as to tbe determination of tbe Presidential issue which ere practicslly ab solute. In an evenly balanced Senate, bis vote may finally decide quetions effecting the interests of millions of people. Surely, no man without experience in affairs, or destitute of capacity to grapple with the broadest and weightiest issues, should occu py a place at once to dignified and so important. or tbe candidates now in nomination for the Vice PicrideDCy, Mr. English, the Demo cratic nominee, is urqn?etiona!ly the more worthy of tupport. He hss ability, experi ence and marked independence of character; be is without unsavory partisan entangle, meat, and he is more truly abreast of the dominant opinions of the country than the great majority of the Demco.-atic leaders. "When, durin bis Congr ssional career. he was called to face the question of the admission cf Kansas tinder the Lecompton Constitution, which did not prohibit slavery, he coursc:eoa?ly opposed the policy of his party, and hrally, by his rerolntion, secured the passage of a bill under which tbe people of the Territory, to whom the whole subjct waa referred, vo'ed to as SENTINEL SPECIALS. A Rattling: Ratification. Special to the Sentinel: Greenfield, Ind., June 30. Notic3 was sent out yesterday that the Democracy of Greenfield would ratify the nomination of Hancock and Kngllsh to-night. Although the time was short, the Court House was jammed full of people, all eager to show their interest In the cause; and not only was the bouse full but the streets were full of people. The Greenfield Band furnished some excellent music. The meeting was called ta orOer by Dr. Selman, Chairman of the Democratic Club lion. John A. Finch, of Indianapolis, was first Introduced, and proceeded to open the ballpolitical In Hancock County. He spoke of the candidates for President and Vice Presi dent, as presented by the Democratic party to the people, stating that they were men against whom nought had been or could be alleged men pure and trustworthy In every respect. PrcK-eedipg further on this subject, he referred to General Hancock's celebrated order at New Orleans when he referred to the fact that there was no armed force there to contend against, all opposition having been overthrown, aud that the civil authority mnsl take precedence of the military. He also averred that this campaign would not be run on the military record ol General Hancock, bnt upon his record as a man In favpr of civil liberty. Passing fiom this subject hastily, he re ferred to Order No. 40, which referred to the jury test In Louisiana; also, in regard to mili tary interference at elections. He next referred to Garfield, and showed his reasons for opposing him, because he had been a minister and abandoned his calling, and learning tbe art of war. Hon. Cass By field was next introduced to the audience, and proceeded to deliver an eloquent ana pleasant epeecu to those present, and one that not only reflected credit upon the fpeaker, but will do much to set the issues of to-day squarely before the people. His remarks were listened to eagerly by all In attendance," notwithstanding the uncomfortable condition of the hearers. Byfield made many friends by his speech, as was evinced by tbe numerous and hearty cheers given him during his discussion. As the hall of the people in tins city desirous of bearing the issues presented could not get iutCLthe Court House, Hon. J. A. Finch was called out and addressed an iiumer.se rowd upon tbe streets. As we close Hon. M. Marsh Is setting forth some telling facts. An Interesting Democratic Ratification Meeting. Special to the Sentinel : Brazil, Ind., June 3d. The Democratic throngs, numbering at least 2,003, assembled In this city to Join their brethren everywhere In ratifying the nomination of Hancock and English, The crowd began to gather early In the evening, literally filling the streets and thoroughfares of the city with people, bonfires and magic lanterns lighting the heavens. The meeting was addressed by Senator Joseph E. McDonald, Hon. Bayless W. Hanna, candidate for Congress In this District; Hon. John E. Lamb, candidate for Elector In this District; Colonel C. C. Matson candidate for Congress in the Fifth District; Hon.B. .F., Xvey, 'candl date for Joint Representative; Colonel' Teter,

II. ENGLISH. sure the broad atyes to freedom forever. Uuriog the recent war, Mr. English was thoroughly loyal to the Union, and it may be Bald, comprehensively, that his public career has been in every way honorable, exhibitirg throughout high statesmanlike qualities. It will not be pretended by the most pronounci d partisan that Mr. Arthur, the Republican candidate for the Vice Presidency, has any claim to public support based on considerations of peculiar fitneis, experience or sympathy with the higher politics of the time. He is, undoubtedly, a gentleman of pacity and fntfgri y ofchancttr, but he represents icdnences which have debauched our political life, and Is, admittedly, tbe candidate of a "machine" which his nothing whatever to recommend it Personally, we believe him to be a better man than be is considered to be in the general conception of him. but he certainly would not brlcg to the office for which he is named either that acquaintance with affiirs or that freedom from questionable alliances which must be regarded a9 essential to a proper discharge of i'a duties. To transfer the methods cf th9 New York "machine" to the theater of the National Senate, would be to invite the derision of all Intelligent observers everywhere, and the country can not afford thus to confess to a degeneracy of character which does not really exist. We speak on this subject, as on all others of a political nature, from a purely nonpartisan standpoint, and with no otLer motiv- than a desire to pen the Vice Presidential officu restored, In the popular appreciation, to the higi place which it should legitimaeiv occupy. Lt tu elevate rather than degrade it, increaee rather than diminish i!s d ga -ties, making qualification and character 'he controlling considerations in determining all oar action concerning it. candidate for P.epretentatlve, and Hon. George A. Knight, whose voices commingled with the crowd of earnest listeners in aouudlng the death-knell of Republican Returning Boards and Credit Moblller steals. A few 111gctttn and budly-ralsed crestfallen Republicans attempted to disturb the meeting by showing their ignorance in yelliug fortJartield until tho more sensible Republicans became Utterly ashamed of their conduct. All Is lovely la Clay, for an enlarged crop of Democrats at the October and November harvests may be lookd for. Ratification Meeting Kloqueut Speeches by Colonel I. P. Gray, Hon. R. C. Reil, Hon. tr. R. lirowulee, O. J. Lots and Others. Mexe, Ind., July 3. Eveiy Republican, as well as every Democrat In Muncle, will bear out the statement that tbe Democratic demonstration, made on the public square tonight, outshone any Democratic meeting or gathering cf any kink that has taken place here during tho past decade. Tbe booming anvils, band music, decorations, mottoes, speakers, everything was in the very best of shape, and the display was indeed very goraeous was only excelled In brilliancy by the fruits that will naturally arise. The speakers present were Colonel I. P. Gray, Hons. R. C. Cell and W. R. Erownlee, Charles Thompson and O. J. Lötz, Esq., and several lesser luminaries of local reputation. The speeches were delivered from a stand In the open air, on the Public Square, and were pronounced very replete with good thought. At least 1,500 people were present. The enthusiasm was great. Hon. Wra. 11. Myers and General Manson have Just arrived from Indianapolis. They were greeted with enthusiasm, and although their arrival was after 10 o'clock, they enlivened the occasion with their presence. A Grand Ratification. Pkrtj, Ind July 5. The campaign opened here Saturday sight ander favorable auspices. Judge Turple addressed a large crowd of Democrats In tbd Court House. . His speech was a masterly exposition of the principles of the Democratic party, and a scathing arraignment of t he coito pt policy ol the fast wanlD g Republican party. He waa repeatedly interrupted by storms of applause from his enthusiastic audi ence. At the conclusion of his remarks a Han cock and English Club 150 strong was formed. We Intend to have the Judge address us again at no distant day, as he Is a great favorite In this his old District, where he castigated Colfax so unmercifully when they ran for Con gress, t A statement appeared In the Journal some days ago to the effect that the Catholics were oppose! to Hancock. There Is not a Democratic Catholic In the Conaty who Is not enthusiastically for Hancock, and a celebrated clergyman of that denomination who has al ways been a Republican announces that un der no circumstances could he vote for Gar field, and Intends to vote for Hancock and English. , . A. Grand Ratification Meeting-. .. Libanon, Ind., July 4. One of the most enthusiastic meetings we have ever had Jn our County occurred heie last night on the ratification of Hancock and English.

After the arrival of tbe procession at the grove, Hon. Franklin Landers was Introduced by Albert G. Porter (not the Radical candi date for Governor, but our own Dr. A. G.), after which Mr. Landers made a telling speech, showing the Republican party up In Its proper light. The speech was nigbly appreciated and frequently applauded. At the conclusion of the speech there was a grand display of fireworks, and unbounded enthusiasm prevailed. The Democracy of this County are up and doing, and we now serve notice oa the Republican party In our County that this is only the beginning of the end which will result In removing the last vestige of their once boasted m-jority, and place Boone County not in adoubtrul position, as it now stands, but In the full light of a glorious Democratic victory.
