Tilden adds five ciphers to hia contributions, English only one. ’ The candidate of the iron cage baa uo bung to bis bar’l. * One oi our Democratic exchanges speaks of the confederate soldiers us "rebels.” It seems to us that is aot politic toward a brother Democrat A Of corset it is fully settled that Hancpck goes back on his war rec ord and with Hendricks, Vorhees el al admits that the war was a failure.

‘‘Who is Colonel Landers, and what was he colonel of?— lndian, apolis Journal. Why colonel of the corkscrew mule brigade, to be sure. .—; y « It is hard to swallow’, they say, the candidacy of Skinner; but the unwashed Democracy, boa con. stridor like, will make abugeeffoit to take him in, paunch and all. Since 1868 the Democrats have irad but one_candidate who had a record in accordance witn the prin. eiplesof the party; that waa Tilden, and O ye Gods what a Record! Democrats are vehemently deny urg that Landers was a mule cod tractor. They might as well declare that Jeff. Davis was in no way re apon'sible for the.death of Lincoln. Hancock was well enough when leader of an army to the rescue of the union, but as leader of rebel hordes whose only and aim was to destioy it, he is.quite another thing. fc , The three to two- partisan did the work. The people will express their indignation at the polls by giving their votes th tbe party of justi e and . upright - fixedness of principle. Tl e Ku Klux is getting in its work again down suulh. • The most effective argument of the Democrat ic party irf that'section is the shot gun; in tbe North nothing but the bar’l wiil do.

Natters are not altogether lovely between English and other leading Democrat® of this state. Unwilling t* trust any of them with the management Offhe canvas in Indiana, he has taken.hill charge himself. Hancock-has, thns far, declined to deny that he offered to make use of the military power. Their appneoi&ton' es his offer was made especially manifest by the cheers from the delegates that greeted the irrcuLon of bis name in ihe Cincinnati convention. The immortal J. N. will be in town to-morrow; he comes to see that the sale of the Greeubackers to the Democracy is ratified. The Price of the Greenback party is office" They have a Ski n n a i to get it; the Democratic party is the animal to be skinned. . I The devotion of the Winamac Democrat is worthy of a belter caase. It is still outspoken in its opposition to Nr. Skinner, and stands firm for its political principles. .-In answer to some questions submitted by the Delphi TTmss the Dawocrai makes the folio wing pointed remarks Consistency is a good thing to have about, but when a man in one breath' condemns the Democratic party uncompromisingly and charg. es the Republicin party on account of its policy with the success of the Democracy, and in the next breath indorses the action of the Democrats, it's ajtswd that he possesseth not-

_ —, Cincinnati JEpwiztrer, in writing to that paper, says: "As the case stands to-day, if «H the candidate* were to be voted for, I give it m my prediction that the Republicans carry the Mate by 6,000 votes.” Reports from Kansas indicate that the immigration of negros to that state still continues. Large numbers are arriving daily at St. Loui*«n rente to Kansas. Let a donation of forty or fifty thousand dollars be made to “Daniel” that be may go and investigate the causes. Hon. John N. Skinner is trying to conciliate the WinamaS Democrat by pronouncing in favor of Hancock, and forthwith he has tbe Greenbackers bussing at b:s ears. The old gent ia In hot water; Supporting two presidential candidates at the same time ia a difficult feat to perform. Tbe people of Kansas do not take kindly to tbe head of the Demo* cratic ticket. They remember that in 1868 Mr. English submitted to Congress a bill giving to that state immense grants of land on the condition that her people accepted the TeCompton constitution, which recognised si a very. The bill was defeated by a vote of 1,788 for to 11,300 against.

The brave and patriotic? Democracy ot the North are fighting anew tbe battlea of the rebellion with General Hancock as their leader. Their publications are full ot eulogistic expressions of bis loyally and fighting qualities. Only a few years since he was a “Lincoln dog” and “hireling.” The Hon. John N. Skinner, of Valporaiso, who for three days has been in labor with an oratorical effusion, will be delivered at this place to morrow before the National Labor Detno-Grecnbauk county con vention; wonder if he will declare hn presidential and gubernatorial preferences. Tbe Democratic party comes before the people with a candidate whose only claim upon the voters of the country is that he waa a Uuion general, in the late difficulty with our Southern brethren. Ha;.* cock fought the rebels and now expects their votes as bis reward. Of course be cannot expect the votes of the soldiers loyal to the Union-

Democrats are heralding abroad the great statesmanship of General Hancock, basing their evidence on the famous Order No. 40. But it | turns opt dow that Hancock had nothing'to'do wilh"that document. All the credit due him in the matter is the fact that the order was issued over his signature as com manding officer. Jeremiah Black is probably the author of Order No. 40. ’■ ’ i" Skinner turns out to be a “what is it.” The most frequent question beard propounded to his supporters is, “Well what are Skinners’ politics anyhow?” The answer is, He,ah, —well, —ahem—yes, you sec he used to see he was at one time ab—l believe he was—why you see he is the candidate of tbe Greenbackers and Democrats- at Monticello, he—he’s our candidate you see. The Democrats are taking to themselves great comfort from the fact that a few of General Hancock’s friends and hang* rs-on < have nounccd in his favor. It is a matter of congratulation to the Republican party that tbe Democrats on?e in a while nominate such candidates as will attract to their support all soreheads and useless members of the party; They are political excre sences that are of no advantage to any party.

The nomination of English was heralded abroad by the democrats as being in the interest of the la boring mam It is true that he holds the deeds for some two hundred or more tenement houses in the city of Indianapolis and that they are occupied by poor laboring men, who lost their homes through the foreclcser of mortgages by the exacting capitalist. Such a man the demo crats call the poor man’s friendThe less they boast of this attribute of the millionare’s character the better f-rMtJ£ugiuh and the to the war for the Union. Several scores of thousands of these men are still alive and in Ohio, and will vote in November. And thousands of these will vote for General Hancock who never before voted a Republican ticket. Why should Ohio beforever called a Republican state? Why should not Haneoek’s name I carry Ohio in October?—Cincinnati Inquirer. It is very reasonable to suppose that “thousands will vote for Gen- Z eral Hancock who never before voted a Republican ticket!” But when did Hancock get on the “Republican ticket?’ Just “why Ohio should be forever called a Republican state” we suppose is attributed to the good Common schools with which the State is blessed. Just “why

infernal bad company be i* in. Devotes for MO,OOO Z year! and gate money, w no reason why the soldiers of the Union army should crawl into rebel bed* and beg favors of the men who for four years shot and imprisoned and starved them. Dr. Thomas, editor of the Winamac Democrat is a very clever old gentlemen—one who we entertain a great deal of genuine respect for, but we kindiy beg leave to call bi* attention to an article from the Delphi Times, in thia paper addressed to the Rochester Sentinel and the Winamac Democrat. The few “pointed queries” therein contained are the exact sentiment of thegreat majority of the Democratic party in this district, and it is so regarded,. as it ought to be, that he who i* not with ns is against us.” It remains to be seen whether, in its efforts to obtain a representative in congress the Democracy of the district will be deserted by the Rochester Sentinel and the Winamac Democrat.—Monticello Democrat

This is tbe fawning wail of one who ever stands ready to sell his political principles, if be has any, to tbe lowest bidder. Tbe editor of the Democrat at Monticello knows that it is not true that the “Great majority of the Democratic party” is in unison with the bargain and sale that was effected by the Democrats at Monticello. He knows that to claim such a thing is putting the Democracy in a false position. He knows that he offers an insult to tbe honesty and integ rity of bis party. He knows that this congressional bargain is being repudiated by honest Democrats all over this district. He knows, ah yes, well he knows that there are a few Democrats who adhere from principle,—and though we cannot agree with their political principles, yet we say they merit great honor for their honest steadfast devotion to those principles. They refuse to endorse a politica 1 l?ader of tbe De La Matyr stamp who, if he were elected to congress would improve the first opportunity to turn like an adder upon them and stab them in the back. It is for these reasons that Keys sends up such a pitiful wail. We suppose that Dr. Thomas is honest in bls views and in bls reasons for opposing the so called Democratic nominee for congress. It is likely he remembers that two years ago this same Skinner was nominee before tbe congressional convention at Waua. tah, whed he was beaten only one vote by the Hon. Morgan Weir, upon whom be afterwards took revenge by accepting tbe Greenback nomination, by means of which be divided Wier’s vote and defeated him. The Democrat realizes that the nomination of this double backaction Skinner is a weak one and not accepted by the honest upright members of the party whose votes he claimes and by means of which he hopes to scramble into office.

The Democracy are becoming almost frantic in their search for Re publicans who are renouncing their former political affiliation. It is highly amusing. The following from the Logansport Journal illustrates their condition. The Pharos is one of the most unfortunate papers iu existence. A tew days ago, with a great flourish of trumpets it announced that a Hancock clubof former Republicans had been organized in Plymouth. Then the news came that no such club had been organized, and that even the Democracy of that place were not enthusiastic for Hancock. It then am.o inced tl at a Grantclub at St. Louis had flung forth th 4 Hancock banner. Right upon the heels of that announcement came i itelligence that it was a Democratic club that had declared it would vote for Grant if he was hominatd against Tilden. Its next effort was to announce that Thomas J. Stuby, of Wayne county, has been a Ine long Republican, but wan now for Hancock, and would stump the State. The Richmond Palladium punctures lhe story in the following manner:

Nr. Study is ? a prominent member of the Wsyne county bar and a clever gentleman. De may in some former state of existence have been a Republican, but in all the years we have known him he haa been recognized as a Democrat. Still, it may be a matter of congratulation with the Democratic presjs thateven a Democrat should declare “for Hancock and English;” they are not all doing |o. In answer to the Timet we have only this to say, that we have not confidence enough in a candidate to aid him to a seat in Congress who steadily rpfuses to give a pledge that he will support the Democratic National platform candidates nominated at Cincinnati for President and Vice-President. That we are not interested in the election of Hon. John 2J. Skinner, so long as he will not pledge himself to support the candidates of the Democratic party nominated by the State Convention at ludinapolie. We don’t care to vote for a man for Congress who claims to be a democrat and a greenbacker at the same time, unless we are convinced that these parties are one and the same. • We expect to gain nothing by ■the election of Mr. Skinner upon, any question between the Democratic and Greenback party. If Mr, Sldnuer has put himrelf in

6a pport O Mn We are interacted in the success of the Democratic party, and not in building up a party which wage* war upon the principlea and measures of that party. The Democratic party gaina nothing by an affiliation which promises only momentary success to men who have not courage enough to battle lor principle. Parties are indeed ungrateful. During the Democratic rebellion, Tilden and Hendricks and Voorheea lost no opportunity to encourage and befriend tbe South. Tilden insisted that it was unconstitutional to force a state back into theUuion; Hendricks eaid the South had a perfect rightto secede and an expression ofsnoh a desire should be a finality! and Voorhees not only so held but aided the war department of the Confederacy in securing good officers by recommending them for commission in the rebel army. After all these good offices the rebel brigadier deliberately slap the aforesaid statesmen in the face and nominate a Union general for the Presidency! Monster ingratitnde!— Delphi Jouroal.

Many Greenbackers claim they are actuated by principle and that they do not court success at tbe expense of principle. It will be msde clear to every one on Saturday next whether they really mean to adhere to their principles and nominate a ticket independent of tbe Democracy or whether they expect to follow certain leaders who, having no political principle themselves, want them to indorse th Democrat! county ticket. Is it the crumbs or is it the principles of the party that you are contending for? Your action in this matter will be watched with some interest. A Greenbacker.

Ilancockison the defensive clearly in regard to that disloyal and revolutionary letter he wrote or is alleged to have written, offering to lead a revolution and seat Tilden at the bayonet in 1877, thus creating civil war after both sides to the Hayes-Tildenoontrversy had agreed to submit to the decision of the electoral commission. A man who would thus, in violation of a specific agreement to abide by an award of arbitrators, be willing to pour out the blood and treasure of h’s c u >try because tbe award was against his side, does not in any sense possess the lofty and impartial qualitcs that should adorn the presidential officeThe Democrats three years ago praised and lauded this letter of Hancock’s to the. skies, and whether he wrote a letter of the kind or not he took all the Bourbon compliments for having written it and made himself responsible for the Mexican sentiment it was supposed to contain. Hancock must explain this business to save his honor. He must explain it to save bis patriotism. If he did not write the letter he sacrifices his honor forhaving paraded in false feathers when those feathers happened to be popular. If he did write the lettej he sacrifices bis patrotism because the were rebellious and tending to excite civil war. He is not a fit man to be presidendt aparlfrom tbe fact that his election would put the ex rebels .in power again.—Easton Pa. Free Press.
