OF INDIANA.

Hancock a tGettysburg.

.Nothing is detracted from tho fame that dead hero of Gettysburg, Gen. Medef when the tribute is paid to the living hero, by saying that on that sanguinary field Gen. Hancock was grand and magnificent and seemed the very incarnation of war One who was there writes of him and that battle in the Philadelphia Tim** asfollows:

t%

On tho second day he was at Cem etary Heights during the frightful can nonade when the rebels concentrated the Arc of one hundred aDd fifty guns on our lines. The air wa9 full of missiles streams of shot and shell screamed and hissed everywhere it seemed as though nothing could live under that terrible fir —men and horses were torn limb from limb caissons exploded one after anothd' in rapid succession, blowing the gunners to pieces. The infantry hugged the ground closely and sought every slight shelter that the light earthworks afforded It was litteraly a storm of shot and shell like the fall of rain drops or the beat hailstones. Those who had taken par in every battle of the war never had seen anything like that cannonade, and the oldest soldiers began to feel uneasy for the result. Hundreds and thousands were stricken down the shriek of animals and screams of wounded men were appalling still the awful rushing of fly ing missies wont on and apparently never •would cease. It was then, when the firmest hearts begun to quail, the army witnessed one of the grandest sights ever beheld by any army on earth. Suddenly the band began to play "The Star Spangled Banner," and General Hancock with his" staff—Major Mitchell, Captain Bingham, Captain Parker, Captain Bron son—with corps flags flying in the hands of Private "Wells, appeared on the light of his line uncovered and rode down the front of his men fo the left. The soldiers held their breath, expecting every mom en to see him fall from his horse pierced by a dozen bullets, but still he rode on while the shot roared and crashed around him, every moment tearing great gaps in the ranks by his side. "Stormed at by shot and shell,

Boldly he rode and well." Every soldier felt his heart thrill as he witnessed the magntficient courage of his -General, and he resolved to do something that day which would equal it in daringJust as Hancock reached the left of his line the rebel battories ceased to play, and their infanlry, 18,000 strong, were seen emerging from the woods and advancing up the hill. Hancock knew the artillery fire had been intended to demoralize his men and cover the advance of

WHILE the guest of all sorts of non partisan associations, which use him as an advertising card to gratify the prurient curiosity of people who want to see the man that made a dead-head tour around the world working up an electioneering scheme to destroy a sacred tradition of the Republic. Grant is giving vent to his personal spleen at sight of an army ofti cer other than himself being a candidate for the Presidency. With an iguorant indecency which cannot or will not see that his incumbency of the Presidency left a bad odor in the nostrils of the great body of the American people, he talks about himself now as if he was the only man in the country capable of managing it. The truth is Grant made a melancholy failure as President, and disappointed all who were not spoilsmen. The point of hisfailurc wasthat from the begining he looked upon the Presidential office as his personal property, and this is a mania, intensified and made more obnoxious, which he has [carried with him in his hippodroming excursions. But his itch of office at the time lie occupied the

White House manifested itself by his dividing the patronage or perquisites among his friend and relations and their friends and relations as far as they could sec and then turning over the rest to a group of Senators who consented to debase themselves by praising his faults

•iiituwmou in protection. Missouri is going to be their infantry, which was to make the the greatest iron producing state in the real attack. Turning his horse he rode slowly up his line from left to right, holding his hat in his hand, bowing and smiling to his troops, as they lay flat on the ground. Hardly had he reached the right of the line when the meB, who, inspired by the courage of their Generalcould hardly restrain themselves, leccived orders to attack the advancing rebels Eighty guns which Hancock had concen. tratcd opened their brazen mouths and" streams of blue bullets flew from the muzzles of our rifles to the breasts of the •Confederates. It was an awfui day. aud JLongsirect's Old Guard of the South" ^melted away like wax under a terrible

Are. Of the 18,000 who came to the at tack, 5,000 fell or ware captured on the .hillside. Thirty stand of colors and an immense number of arms were .taken. Hancock was everywhere, riding the storm of battle as though he bore a charmed lift. At last, just in the moment of victory, he was seen to reel in his saddle, and would have fallen to the ground had he not been helped from his horse. A ball had pierced his thigh, and for a time it was thought the wound was mortal -s

Whatever of strength and vitality the Republican party possesses to-day is not due to Grant, for he left it in srich con dition that it could scarcely have carried a state and would scarcely have carried a state but for the belief, which has proven not to have been unfounded, that Hayes would purify the foul places in our politics The strength of the Republican party is due to the administration of President Hayes, and its weakness is the fear that Garfield, who was not strong enough morally to withstand the pecuniary blandishments of Oakes Ames and the De Golyer gang, would surrender to the Grant-Conkling-Logan combination of patriots, who want to manage for them selves and themselves alone this glorious patrimony of the whole people. Ihe strength of Hancock is in the knowledge that the old plunderers will lie turned out to feed for a season on thistles and dog fennel.

CAN Hancock be elected without Indiana? We have heard the above question dis cussed during the last week. We unhesi tatingly say yes, and these are our rea sons: lie gets KiH votes in the South. He will get New York, 35, and New Jersey 9, which makes 182. It requires but 3 more to elect. There are 0 state from which to get these three votes, in which his chances of carrying arc far letter than Garfield's. In Maine 3, Con. necticut 6, Colorado 3, Nevada 3, Oregon 3, and California 6. While the Republicans must carry every one of these and Indiana besides, Hancock will only have to secure 3 in the 0 states. His election is as certain without Indiana as with it, as Indiana would only increase his ma jority.

Business Men and the RepublicansWe have heard a great deal of clamor by business men who are Republicans to the effect that, if Hancock is elected, it will ruin business. This same "hue and cry" of danger was raised with prodigious fury in 1872. Republicans claimed they alone could run the business interests of the country. Grant was elected and in less than 6 months after his inauguration the country was shivering with the panic of 1873. No sensible man will listen to their twaddle.

The Tariff and the Democracy. There never was a greater "buga-boo'' than that the Democrats will repeal the tariff and injure manufacturing interests The Democracy have been in power in both houses of Congress for several years, and have done nothing that has injured business. More than this, if there are individual members who desire free tiadc they are powerless, because Pennsylvania is solid for tariff asare most of the Northern states. The south is largely interested

world. Tennessee and Georgia are great iron producing states. Some of the fur naces of Clay county have been torn down and removed South.

Tennessee has the largest cotton factory outside of New England and they are about to erect at Nashville the largest nail srnill outside of Pennsylvania. tates will protect their inte Hancock, from the iron stat "hIJN vania is as good a tariff ma •/.. etter than Garfield.

THERE is more truth than poetry in the following paragraph which appeared lates ly in the Dubuque Herald: "On the day General Winfield Scot Hancock was'nominated by the Nationa Democratic Convention at Cincinnati General Grant, Col. Rowley, and Mr. Hunkins were seated in Colonel Rowley's office in Galena, awaiting the expected news. A telegram was received announc ing the result Colonel Rowley, turnin to Gen. Grant, asked him how he like* the nomination. General Grant answer ed: 'He will rua like wildfire! He is a man without a blemish!'

And in connection with Geneial Hancock's nomination General Grant said to Mr. Hunkins that

4if

General Hancock

had been a Repnblican, he would have been the commander of the army of the Potomac instead of myself!"

iRiC!.

We note the following'from Messrs Dan Talmage's Sons & Co. Annual Re view of the Rice culture in Louisiana, dated New Orleans, October 12th:

Hie Crop of 1979-'80 was a failure on account of low water in the river, and only 100,000 barrels was jnade instead of 250,000 barrels as was looked for earlv in* ihe year.

The Crop of 1890-'81 is very large and basing estimate on the acreage planted and the turn-out of Mills fully 230,000 barrels may be expected and a conse quent low range of prices, which are now over 1 cent per pound lovrer than last season equal date.

FKOM the very beginning of the canvass the Republican papers and speakers have daily and nightly vexed the air with theirclamor about horrible disasters that would be sure to follow a Democratic victory. They have asserted that the rebel debt, forbidden by ihe constitution, would be paid, and in the same breath have accused the Democrats of intending to repudiate the National debt, which the same instrument as well as honor and good faith require should lie paid. They said that the Democrats would open wide the treasury vaults for the payment of enormous rebel claims and still continued that assertion until a simple, straightforward letter from Gen Hancock hushed them from very shame into silence on that point. They have sought to make an issue ou the tariff question against Hancock, who comes fram Pennsylvania and does not propose to have the tariff interfered with, in favor of Garfield who belongs to the Cobden Club and has spoken and voted against tariff measures in Congress. This is the extent of Republican argu. ment if we omit from the catalogue their extra foolish and reckless assertions about the Democrats being rebels and traitors, to which in all conscience the candidacy of Geu. Hancock, as gallant and as great a soldier as fought in the war, would seem to be a sufficient answer.

But now let us see what the Republi cans will do if they capture the White House and the Capitol. And to a consideration of this question we invite the earnest attention not solely of every Democrat but in particular of every National and every Republican who does not desire partisan prejudice to overcome reason. A Washington special to a Western paper discussing this point states some facts and opinions which may well claim the earnest attention of every voter. It says: "It is already beginning to be freely whispered in certain circles that in case the Republicans can see their way clear to the control of both branches of Congress, and if General Garfield is elected, that the Supreme Court of the United States will at an early day take up the case now pending therein presenting the question whether greenbacks once retired can be re-issued. In case General Garfield is elected there is scarcely a doubt that the decision will be in accord with the views and wishes of Secretary Sherman and the newly-elected President —to the effect that] the greenback, once retired, cannot be re-issued. It is well known that Secretary Sherman and General Garfield are in full accord with this view of the case, and it will be held that he election of Garfield is a fair expression of the popular will in favor of their well-known views, and the doctrine having largely obtained that it is the imperative duty of the Judiciary to give effect to the will of the people, the way to set tie the fate of the greenback forever becomes plain and easy.

Secretary Sherman's bitter and unre lenting hostility to the act, placed upon he statues by the Democrats, forbidding the retirement and the destruction of the greenback is well known. It has been a painful thorn in his side ever since its enenactment, and once armed with the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, and safe in the possession of all necessary power, it is easy to predict what will come to pass. The currency will be contracted by retiring and destroyingthe $346,000 of greenbacks, and thus another monster robbery of the people for the benefit of of the bondholders wi be perpetrated. It is an open secret here that it was upon an understanding and with a view to these results, in case of a Republican success, that the great Nation^ al Banks of the country have contributed such unusually large sums to the Republican campaign fund. It 5s, moreover, a part of the scheme that the silver dollar is also to share the fate of the greenback. The strong desire and determination of both General Garfield and Secretary Sherman to get the greenback out of the way is only equaled by their hostility to the silver dollar both assisted to demonetize it, and both are pledged to its destruction at the earliest opportunity. Referring to the fact of the vast amount of silver now piled up in the Treasury, Secretary Sherman fremarked recently to a well-known gentleman in money circles that "he hoped to witness the sale of the entire mass of silver dollars now under his control, if need be, at public auction as old iron or as other condemned and useless Government property is disposed of"

A Famous Heresy Case.

Theca.se of Rev. Dr. Thomas, a prom inent Methodist minister at Chicago, now on trial before the Rock River Conference at Rockford, 111., is interesting. An effort is being made to dismiss him for heresy. His letter in reply to the charges is in substance as follows, and gives the essence of his belief: £The grounds for the request for his withdrawal are not apparent to Dr.Thoraas. His moral character has not been questioned he has not been unfaithful and he has affirmed his belief in God, the divinity of Christ, the immortality of the soul, after-death rewards and punishments, thejdoctrines of the atonement and the inspiration of the Scriptures. They charge him with not believing things which they themselves do not believe. He had said that the possibility of repentance did not end with this life. He was in substantial accord with the Church, and therefore could not leave it He hail an interest and rights in the de nomination which he could not surren. der. In regard to the resurrection of the body he had not gone further than Bishop Foster, and his teaching had not been disapproved. There mnst be room for a difference of thought and honest opinion. The Methodist Church, by this action, placed itself on record as one of the most narrow of all churches of the day. The effect of his opinions upon his own church had not been disastrous, but he had remained in peace and increased prosperity. His views seemed true to him and he was bound to hold them, not in defiance but as a matter of duty.

After the reading of the paper, which was received with marks of approval, notwithstanding the admonition of the Bishop, Rev. W. S. Harrington arose and stated that he had reason to suppose that the paper just read by Dr. Thomas had been sent to the Chicago papers before it was read to the Conference.

Dn Thomas replied that such was the case, thinking it no harm to allow its publication, as the Chicago papers would not reach Rockford until after the paper had been read, etc.

Rev. S. A. Jewett arose and said: "I want to ask Mr. Thomas what he meant by the part in the paper that we want him to get out from us because he believes things which we do not endorse?"

Elder S. A. W. Jewett presented the following resolution: Resolved, That a committee of five be appointed to receive and consider the paper read bv Rev. Dr. Thomas, the committee to make such response thereto as to them may seem sufcable, the response to be submitted to the Conference for its action."

Carried, and the Bishop was authorized to appoint the committee. The following are the names of the committee: Rev. S. A. W. Jewett, Rev A. II. Patten, Rev. R. B. Pope, Rev. F. Cleveland, Rev. F. W. Stewart.

BUENOS AYKES is disposed to put in a bid against the United States for sensationally execrable weather. On the 18th of September, but the news has only just reached here, a terrific snow storm oc cured there and it is estimated that 700,OOo cattle, 500,000 sheep and 250,000 horses perished. Jay Cooks banana zone must surrender the belt. This is more "killing, er" than a Dakota buzuard.

THOMAS HUNT, chairman of the Greenback Central Committee of Orange County, has announced himself for •Hancock and English. It is time for Greenbackers to understand that it rests with them to say whether or not John Sherman and his policy shall rule this country for the next four years.

REV. DB. THOMAS, the distinguished Methodist divine, has refused to be turned out of his Chicago church and will endeavor, backed Dy his congregation, to hold the fort against all the edicts of conferences and ecclesiastical gatherings.

IF the Republican party of Indiana can't do better than this on the weather question it had better retire from business. This sort of thing is not to be compared with the Democratic weather of the summer and fall which made even existence a positive pleasure and.. respiration a delight.

Tammany and Irving Hall have united upon a municipal ticket in New York City and now there is no obstacle in the way of a splendid Democratic victory in the State of New York. Hancock stock is booming.

A DELEGATION of Germans 500 strong from Cleveland visited Gen. Garfield at Mentor yesterday. He made them a speech.

TAMMANY and Irving Hall wings of the Democracy have nominated a union ticket which is very strong and is sure to

AN association of the railroad conductors of the United States and Canada is in session at SU Louis. Sessions will last until Friday.

THE Republican majority on the City Council is disposed to fight shy of the temperance petition now before it until after the election.

AT the meeting of the directors of the Western Union Telegraph Company in New York, yesterday all the old officers were re-elected.

AT Reading, Pa., yesterday, a tramp who was refused clothing at a country house set fire tcf the barn and now he is tramping to keep out of the way of the farmers who are out hunting for him with shot guns.

IN passing upon the instructions issued by John I Davenport to the supervisors of Election in New York judge Blatchford says:

That the instruction to take naturalization papers from those who are supposed to have obtained them fraudulentyl is wholly "unauthorized," "unwarranted," and calculated "to lead to breach of the peace." He adds that it would put it into the power of an over-zealous partisan Supervisor to deprive honest citizens of their proof of citizenship by making him the Judge, with summary and arbitrary ower todecide whether a paper bearing the seal of a court had been legally or fraudulently issued. The Judge concludes by saying that if the Supervisor, thinks it his duty to arrest the man who presents such a paper and have the question openly decided, after hearing both sides in Court, taking the risk of malicious prosecution, be can do so but to stive Supervisors general warrant to seize suspected papers, while neglecting his duty to arrest the owner, would be to put in the hands of ward politicians powers they would be almost sure to abuse.

The Opinions of a Prominent National. Recognizing the perfectly plain fact that Weaver is out of the race,. Hon. Robert Gregoiy ,of Monticello, Ind., one of the most prominent Greenback men in he state, has come out for Hancock, as being far better for him than Garfield. Mr. Gregory has been a member of the State committee for his district, Chairman of the Congressional committee and chairman of the Central committee of White county. He has written a letter to C. C. Post chairman of the Greenback State committee resigning these various positions he has held and announces in it his determination to vote for Hancock. His letter is interesting and ought to be read by every man in the State who ever voted with the National party- We republish it herewith and earnestly desire that it may be read by every National. Mr. Gregory says some words of truth and soberness which ought to be heeded. His letter is as follows:

MONTICKLLO, October 18,1880.

C. C. Post, Esq., Chairman National Greenback State Central Committee: DEAR SrR—In view of the result of the election in this state, and after mature deliberation, I write you tendering my resignation as a member of the central committee from this, the Tenth Congressional district. It is highly proper that I should give you the reason that impels me to the act: The result of the state election admonishes me that there is impending danger of perpetuating the Republican party in power, which, my judgment, would be a menace to our Republican form of government little less than open rebellion against the government itself. The Republican party is the open and avowed friend of National Banks is in «favor of delegating the power to issue and control the volume of our currency to corporations who are responsible to no one but the persons composing them, and consult no interest but their own. If the legislatation of Congress while every department of government was under Republican control is an index of their intentions, as well as the utterances of the leaders, in eluding their candidate for the Presidency James A. Garfield, then they are in favor of subverting our form of government and establishing its place a strong central government, such as Hamilton advocated when our constitution was adopted. I recognize in James A. Garfield the most bitter opponent to our principles we have met, who was not satisfied with attacking our positions in Congress with gentlemanly and legitimate argument but resorted to vituperation, abuse and billingsgate, not becoming one in his exalted position. I have not forgotten his attack upon the resolutions of James B. Weaver, our candidate for President, in which he called us the "last spawn of a dying party," and appealed to Congress to grapple with and throttle the "tripple-headed" monster of centralization, Ctesarism and repudiation." What can we hope for if the Republican party succeeds in the Nation Nothing—absolutely nothing, but destruction to all those principles of government we hold most dear. -.,4.

Our party in the late contest in this State has become decimated and nearly destroyed her vote reduced from nearly 40,000 in 1878 to less than 15,000 in 1880. What hope have we What hope can we have of recovering our lost ground Absolutely none. This being the case, what is our duty as good, loyal, patriotic citizens In my judgment, it is to unite our strength with another organization and aid to drive from power the party which threatens the very existence of our Republic. It may be inquired, With whom could we unite and be consistent with the advocacy of our principles My answer is, with the Democratic party and aid in he election of General Hancock, that patriot statesman who is the candidate of that party for President But, it may be again asked, would it be safe to trust the Democratic party I can only say that judging the future bv the past, I believe we can secure, if not the full fruition of our hopes, a grand progress in that direction. Let us for a moment look back and see what has been done by the Democratic party to advance the principles we cherish. No Democrat in Congress voted for the Public Credit Strengthening Act." They did not support the refunding acts, nor the resumption act they favored and championed a»d voted to retain the $346,000,000 of greenbacks in circulation they remonetized silver, and thereby destroyed the venom that lay lurking in the Resumption act seventythree Democrats and but one Republican voted for the

44

Weaver Resolutions and

last but not least, a Democratic Congress forced John Sherman, Secretary of the Treasury, to issue an order making our greenbacks receivable for customs duties, and thereby bringing them to a par with coin. Such is the record. Holding these views, my duty in the impending crisis is plain. I therefore tender to you my resignation as a member of the National Greenback State Central Committee, and to the proper authorities my position of Chairman and member of the Tenth Congressional Greenback District Committee and

Chairman and mem tier of the County Greenback Central Committee, of White County and declare my intention to sup port Geneial Winfield Scott Hancock for the Presidency of the United States.

Yours respectfully. ROHERT

THE Rock River M. E. Conference ban escaped consideration of the Thomas heresy case by referring it to the presiding elder of his district. At the re quest of Dr. Thomas, Revs. Jewett and Hatfield were appointed a committee to formulate charges and present them to the presiding elder. At his further re quest Dr. Thomas was then granted supernumerary relations to the conference.

PHIL KEARNEY.

General Hancock's Tribute to the One Armed Hero ELIZABETH, N. J., October 16.—At a fair held recently in this city by tho Phil Kearney Guards a gold pen was voted to General Hancock, and was sent to him. In a letter of acknowledgment General Hancock, under date of October 11, says "The annals of war contain ihe record of no more gallant soldier than the one whose name is borne by our Guard—Phil Kearney. I heard the report of the gun that carried off his arm at the San Antonio Garieta, at the Mexican Capital. But a few moments before, as the battalion of the Sixth Infantry, in which I was a young Lieutenant, was drawn up along the road, we cheered as Kearney charged

E•ragoons,

U+

Summer Complaint.

"Paedotrophine" is the curiously class-4 ic name of a very simple compound known by the more intelligible title of "German Infant Meal," and as its use is becoming universal, and its claims as a substitute for mother's milk and a food for growing children arc now unquestionable,our readers will thank us for a brief reminder of its virtues. No one doubts that the milk of rf young healthy mother is the best possible food for in fants, and contains precisely the elements in exact proportions required to develop young children. But all mothers are not young and many of them arc not healthy, and all are subject to nervous and mental emotions or diseases that deteriorate the milk. They then resort to all manner of substitutes, of which arrow root, rice, farina, flour, etc., etc., form part but as no attention is paid to providing the materials required for the young child it is either stuffed or starved, and the delicate little creatures are carried off by hundreds and thousands annually to premature graves, victims to ignorance of the lawsot life. The statistics of mortality by summer complaint alone is appalling. It has been a creditable task of German Physiologists to go about the solution of this important problem scientifically, and in compounding the "German Infant Meal" (Paedotro phine) they have attained a real trinmph in modern science. It is not sufficient merely to furnish a baby with the elements contained in mother's milk —cow's milk, starch, sugar, and numberless substances, do that, but they must be supplied in the proper proportions, otherwise they will not nourish the child, and the result is weak muscles, flabby puffy tissues, soft bones, and a low grade of vitality that falls an easy prey to all manner of infantile diseases, as teething, croup, whooping cough, measles, and the like. Wet nurses are too frequently unhealthy, and at all times careless, unscrupulous and unreliable.

Cows' milk alone is tod rich in ct^iae and not rich enough in sugar for young infants and the milk obtainable in cities more unreliable as a single food than nurse's or mother's milk. All of these objections have been obviated by the addition of the elements contained in the "German Infant Meal" to a proportion of cows' ii*ilk and water. A still greater objection, if possible, than those mentioned, that pertains to unwholesome mother milk and nearly all of the substible tutes, is their unpalatable nature, that infants are prompt to resent by nausea, diarrhea, restlessness, colics and costiveness, so that loving mothers are impelled to change the food frequently, often from bad to worse. This objection is also andly overcome in the "German Infant eal," a nutritious, agreeable, palatable food easily assimilated, and, being always of uniform quality, not liable to the same contingencies. We congratulate mothers upon this addition to the long list of infants' food, and think the German chemists have proved themselves benefactors to the race. The article is, we understand btainable from all druggists.
