The Democratic Nomination.
Bradford Reporter.]
To say that the Democracy is jubilant
over the Cincinnati nominations is to fee
bly express the feelings of a party which
escaped such a happy deliverance from
the threatened and anticipated danger of' a
possible Tilden, or what was worse, per
haps, the infliction of a Randall. It is this
narrow escape from what seemed inevita
ble, which has aroused a sudden spurt of
enthusiasm in the Democratic ranks, and
given rise to wild and unreasonable hopes
of succe , ..s. The Democratic party is re
markable for a display of confidence where
there is not even the remotest possibility
of success. And now that the Cincinnati
Convention did not do the very worst thing
that might have been done; that it did'
not put in nomination candidates so ob
j'ectionable as to shock even the sensibili
ties of the Northern doughface and inim
ical to the judgment of every patriot, seems
to have been so contrary to the experience
of the past and to the present expectation
of the masses of the Democracy, that they
are filled with exultation, and the sensa
tion of having a respectable candidate is
so new that they fancy past political of
fences are to be condoned, and the country
will make haste to ratify the accidental
action of the bewildered Cincinnati Con
vention.
We imagine that while there is just rea
son for their exultation, there is none
whatever for their anticipations that the
voters of the country are ready to take the
same view of' the situation, nor will they
hasten to put the Democratic party in
power because they present as their can
didate even so respectable a man and such
a gallant soldier as Gen. Hancock. We
have not one word to say against the pa
triotism, the courage, the services of the
distinguished General who had such a
prominent part in leading the Union armies
to victory and in preserving the Union
against the efforts of the Confederate lead
ers who now place him before the people
as the man best qualified to be at the head
of the government they in vain sought to
overthrow. It is not our desire nor shall
we attempt to say one word in disparage
ment of Gen. Hancock, because it would
be undeserved, and then the
treat issues
that underlie the contest do not hinge upon
military services of any man, nor whether
he is a shade more or less qualified for the
high duce for which he is named ; but the
great question which is to be settled at the
coming election by the American people,
is, whether or not they will confide the
liberties and the destinies of the nation to
the keeping of the men and the pray
which sought within the present genera
tion to overthrow it ?
For the election of Gen. Hancock means
not the rewarding of a deserving Union
General by elevating him to the highest
office in the gift of the people, but it means
the domination of the Democratic party
in the government and the control of that
government by the late Confederates, be
cause the ex-rebels are the ruling element
in the Democratic party—mould .its pur
poses and guide its action. That this con
trolling element has not changed its views
or reformed its purposes the history of' the
past two years so plainly shows that he
must be dull indeed who has not learned
the truth that while there may have been
an attempt at studied concealment, yet the
cher; '-od theories of the States rights rev
°, 'lave never been abandoned,
be put forward and urged to
so soon as the fear of a popular
rebuke is removed.
We arc told that a distinguis.hed Union
soldier has been nominated by the ex
rebels, as if that was an act which illus
trated their love for the Union soldier,
their regard for f he Union, and their re
pentance for the great crimes which, with
in the present generation, caused the loss
of so many lives, so much of misery and
sorrow. and an expenditure of treasure so
great that its burdens are almost unsup
portable. And a rebel General seconds
the nomination and phidges for his support
a "Solid South l" Why should there be
a solid South for the Union soldier of the
Democracy when another equally brave
Union soldier is presented, who combines
with his soldierly record, civil qualifies
tions which peculiarly fit him to fill a civil
post ? If the South is ready to accept and
vote for a distinguished Union General,
why should there be a solid vote for a
Democratic candidate ? Are they ready
to acknowledge the heinousness of their
offenses, and the justice of the Union
cause ? Are they willing to renounce the
heresy of States rights, and to guarantee
to every citizen the protection of the Na
tional government in the employment of
his rights ? Where is the evidence of any
such change, or any dispe- *don to live in
fraternal peace and concord, guaranteeing
to every citizen of the United States the
same liberty of speech and action enjoyed
in Northern States
There is no evidence of any such honor
able and fraternal disposition, and the nom
ination of a distinguished Union General,
is no guarantee of any desire or purpose
on the part of the Confederate to abate
one single effort towards the accomplish
ment of' the purposes which brought about
the Rebellion, and which were so offensive
ly prominent at the Extra Session of Con
gress. The Southern politicians are pro
vernally shrewd and astute, and they usu
ally choose the instruments to carry out
their plans with sagacity. How comes it
that just now they have suddenly fallen in
love with a distinguished Union General ?
Certainly it is not his services iu saving
the Union that commends him to their
favor. It will hardly be claimed that be
cause he was a brave soldier, and fought
gallantly to put down the Rebellion that
the Confederates honor him therefor and
would reward him with the Presidency ?
When did thoy become FO magnanimous,
and so full of regard for the boys in blue?
No such pretensions will stand the test for
a moment, and the reason for their desire
to honor a 17niOn soldier must be looked
for elsewhere.
The reason for the nomination of Gen.
Hancock, and his acceptance by the rebels
to the extent of pledging him a solid South,
is their determination to get into power.
The Union soldier is taken to fool the
North. While Gen. Bancock's military
qualities are admitted, yet he has been
trained in camps and is without the edu
cation, experience or qualifications which
fit him for the Presidency. Once inaug
urated and the wily Southern politicians
know that he would be as wax in their
hands, and could be moulded in any shape
they might desire. Whatever might be
the desire of Gen. Hancock, as President,
he would be under the control of the men
who nominated and elected him, and he
would be obliged to obey the behests of
the solid South. Is there any reasonable
hope to expect a different state of affairs,
judging from the experience of the past,
and realizing the suhtile and powerful in
fluences which would be brought to bear
upon him ? The election of Gen. Han
cock means the complete supremacy of the
rebel elethent in the government, the un
doing of all that was settled by the War
for the Union, and the retregaading of the
nation, losing all that has been gained du
ring the present generation. We cannot
believe that such a calamity is to fall upon
the nation, and certainly it will not if every;
Republican realizes the danger and the •
necessity for increased activity, vigilance
and exertion.
A Party of False Pretenses.
Pitt-litargh Commercial-Cazette.
A correspondent asks : "It Hancock is
not a Pennsylvania, to what State should
he properly be credited ?" An answer to
this has been already given. In yesterday's
paper we stated that, although a native of
Pennsylvania, he is and has long been a
citizen of Missouri. He married there
thirty years ago, and is now credited on
the army rolls as belonging to that State.
It would have been false and absurd for
the Democrats to have claimed Jackson as
a North Carolinian, or for the Republicans
to have put Lincoln up a as Kentuckian ;
and it is just as ridiculous for the Demo
crats to claim Hancock - as a Pennsylvanian.
It is worse than ridiculous. It is a glaring
false pretense, and one which Hancock
should scorn to sanction. It is well under
stood why this false claim is made in his
behalf. It was fitting that the Union Gen
eral and the "soldier statesman" should
hail from a Northern State. One of the
greatest objections to taking up Bayard was
the fact that he would be credited to the
South. co, in order to hide as largely as
possible the real purpose of the rebel brig
adiers in selecting a tool like Hancock, they
found it convenient to credit him to Penn
sylvania, which he left when 16 years of age
rather than to Missouri, where he has had
his home and citizenship ever since early
manhood.

Garfield not a Slave Catcher.
One of Gen. Gerfield's staff says that a
fugitive slave with bleeding head came in
to the camp in Kentucky once, hotly pur
sued by a planter. The division comman
der, who believed in the fugitive slave law,
wrote an order to Brigadier-General Gar
field to hunt up and deliver the negro, who
had hid in Garfield's command. Garfield,
on receiving the order, wrote on the back :
"I respectfully but positively decline to al
low my command to search for or deliver
up any fugitive slaves. I conceive that
they are here for iluite another purpose.
The command is open, and no obstacles
will be placed in the way of search."—
The mes , enger told Garfield he was afraid
he would be court-martialed for disobedi
ence of orders. The General replied :
"The matter may as well be tested first as
last. Right is right, and Ido not propose
to mince matters at all. My soldiers are
here for other purposes than hunting and
returning fugitive slaves. My people, on
the 'Western Reserve of Ohio, did not send
my boys and myself down here to do that
kind of business, and they will back me up
in my actions." He never heard of it
again.
FORNEY libels the memories of the dead
when he persists in keeping, under the title
of his paper, the portraits of Abraham Lin
coln, Charles Sumner, Henry C. Carey and
Morton McMichael, when he knows that
if living, they one and all would resent it
as an insult to their loyalty and Republi
canism. Gen. Grant, for whom he expressed
such love and fealty, and who supports Gar•
field and not Hancock, will view the reten
tion of his portrait with the contempt it
deserves. To be consistent let Forney take
them down and hang in their stead, John
C. Calhoun, Robert E. Lee, John C. Breck
inridge, J. E. B. Stuart and Jeff Davis.
For the peaceable old founder of the Com
monwealth, William Penn, he could substi
tute "Fort Pillow" Chalmers; for Benja
min Franklin,Bob Toombs, and for Thomas
A. Edison, Ben Hill. This would complete
Forney's gallery, and be more in unison
with his admiration for the heroes of the
Lost Cause. By all means let him make
the change at once even at the cost of' de
laying one or two editions of Anti•Proy
rem.—Lanraster Examiner.
Tit ERE should be no sort of doubt as to
where General Garfield stands on the tariff
question, when a pronounced protectionist
like William D. Kelley champions him in
such words as these, addressed to a Phila
delphia audience :
"This is not a question of President or
Vice President. That is a small question.
The cowing contest interests every man
who labors for wages, it interests every
youth who expects to support himself by
honest labor, and every capitalist, employ
er and employe alike. The Republican
party is in favor of a protective tariff, es
tablished by them in 1861, which has giv
en prosperity to the country for twenty
years, and which has always been resisted
by the Democrats. The tariff have made
Philadelphia a marvel for its workshops.
That tariff is in danger, and it remains for
the Republican party to defend it. The
Democratic plattbrru is a tariff for revenue
only. A revenue tariff means free trade
and advantages to foreign workmen and
manufacturers. If you believe in your own
wages, you can't vote the Democratic ticket
He who votes for llancock votes for small
wages. It is a soldier against a soldier ;
it is a soldier, statesman and protectionist
against a soldier on a free-trade platform." ,
Forney on Hancock in 1868.
In his recent panegyric on his second
"favorite son of Pennsylvania," Colonel
Forney said "calumny of any kind on Gen.
I fancock is a liad crutch to help the am
bition of weak men." "Gen. Hancock is
the favorite son of Pennsylvania, and comes
bale the people of his native State with.
rr,0,r,1." But Col. Forney
says have this exalted opinion of
ancock's record, especially the only
.a, he ever made at a civil adminis
trative record. The Philadelphia Bulletin
has been looking up what Forney said of
him twelve years ago in the Prtss. And
here is what he said in that journal in
September, 18(7, and Wit wasn't 'calumny'
it was certainly the severest kind of sar
casm hurled at the man to whom be now
says "his own pledge binds him as his own
note of hand" and which "in morals is as
solemn as if he had gone before a magis
trate and sworn to abide by it" :
"Tlaneock,it is now authoritatively known, will
not go to New Orleans while the ehole,a is raging
as it is at present. The epidemic, by
time in this way, may yet prove the political sal—
vation of the South."
But two months later, when "the polit
ical salvation of the South" was endanger
ed by "the fitvorite son's" presence at New
Orleans, Col. Forney thus commented ed
itorially upon Ilancoa's special order,
No. 203, revoking special order, No. 125,
of General Sheridan, which provided for
revision of jury lists ,so as to exclude all
persons declared by the Reconstruction
Act to be incompetent by reason of rebel
disabilities. We quote from an editorial
in the _Press of December 6, 1867 :
"We fear very much that Pennsylvania is to
have the honor, er whatever it may be, of furnish
ing Andrew Johnson at last with a Military Gov
ernor after his own heart. General Hancock, it is
very evident, is a better soldier than a lawyer.—
His argument, published in a telegraphic corres
pondence from New Orleans, to-day, if carried to
its legitimate conclusion, would hustle the Gener
al himself and all his staff out of Louisiana in
double-quick time. If a civil government pro
nounced by Congress (and that is by the people)
to be illegal, is not to be embarrassed, no matter
how greatly it may embarrass freedom or recon
struction, or bow contumacious may be its attitude
in regard to the General Government, then Gener
al Hancock has no right to be in New Orleans,
where his presence, or that of any man who wears
the blue, is on entbarrassment; and by the same
reasoning still less right had he to cross the Mary
land line at the head of columns of National bay
onets, attempting to embarrass the Confederate
militia sent into the field by the action of Stith
Governments, which were legitimate when com
pared with those inaugurated by Andrew Johnson
when acting in his favorite character of Dictator."
In the Press of January 6, 1868, Col.
Forney thus outlined the national outcrop
pings of the "favorite son's" statesmanlike
political instincts :
"It. C. Buchanan, the new appointee of General
Hancock to command the District of Louisiana, is
a brother of the notorious Buchanan of the rebel
navy. During the war, It. C. Buchanan was sta
tioned for a long time in New Jersey, be being ap
parently one of those whom it was deemed judic
ious to suppress during the war against the Rebel
lion. Ile is a Marylander by birth. His military
history well illustrates the coming policy of Han
cock."
In an editorial on the 10th of January,
Col. Forney confirms the statement that
Gen. Hancock had removed the stars and
stripes from his headquarters to relieve
Gen, Beauregard and other rebels from
their "embarrassment":
"Hancock, a Johnson General, assumes com
mand in the Fifth Military District—Louisiana—
mid forthwith down go the colors of the nation. A
loyal meeting in Texas is assaulted by a mob of
defiant traitors and dispersed by violence. The
leaders of this mob, when arrested by some honest
officer, who forgot the new "policy" which now
reigns at New Orleans, are released by Hancock,
for that is virtually what his order amounted to,
set at large by a Brigadier General of the United
States Army, a man uniformed in blue. Alas for
the loyal men of Texas, with Sheridan a thousand
stiles away! * ° And now that Hancock comes
in to turn the milita• y against the reconstruction
acts, we must look for dark days in Texas and
Louisiana!"
The other day Col. Forney said in the
Progress that "the attempt to arouse Cath
olic hostility to General Hancock because
he carried out the orders of the Govern
ment (in executing Dirs. Surratt) is one
of the worst exhibitions of party defama
tion and disgraces all who are engaged in
it." But if now, why not? On January
14, IEGS, he said in an editorial in the
P•ess :
"Hancock's chances for the Democratic Presi
dential nomination are gradually lessening. The
Irish Democracy have fully resolved to support no
man who had anything to do with the execution
of the sainted Mrs. Surratt."
And on the day following he repeated
the "calumny" about Hancock's fastidious
ness in not offending the tastes or hurting
the feelings of the rebels. He bad not
only hauled down the American flag at the
request of Beauregard, but, according to
Col. Forney's statement at the time when
the facts were notorious, he laid of the na
tional uniform rather than offend its ene
mies who bad stained it with his own
blood at Gettysburg ! We quote from the
Press of January 15th, 18611 :
"The Democratic journals laud Hancock because
in New Orleans, where he is at present stationed
as the commanding officer of the Fifth Military
Distr ct, he does not offend the tastes or hurt the
Aeliisgs of the people there by wearing the national
uniform. Would it not tend to soothe the sensi
tive feelings of the patriotic Louisianians if he
should don the gray."
On the 17th of January, 1838, Colonel
Forney wrote from Washington, in his
"Occasional" letter, a long account of an
outrage committed on a Union soldier by
a rebel mob at Belton, Texas, as au illus
tration of how confusion had become worse
confounded in the Fifth District since
Gen. Hancock's advent there as the ex
ponent of "My Policy," prefacing it with
the following comment :
"Louisiana and Texas seem to be reserved as
the especial trophies of Gen. Ilancock's statesman
-6hlp. Since his advent there has been nothing
but confusion worse confounded. Every mail
brings tidings of some now rebel outrage. Even
old Conservative new papers like Flake's Galves
ton Bulletin do not withhold the facts,proriny the
calamities of Hancock's administration in Texas."
The Bulletin states that the above are
only its first instalment of Mr. Forney's
opinions of ITancJek! There are more to
follow, but this would suffice to show how
Hancock's execution of Andrew Johnson's
"My Policy," which constitutes the en
tirety of Ueneral Hancock's statesmanship
was judge at the North in 1868, and by
the same men who now profess such tre
mendous admiration for him.
REPRESENTATIVE BAKER. of Indiana
has made an analysis of Democratic econ
omy as illustrated in the expenditures of
the House of Representatives, where the
Democrats have held full control for five
years. During the last year of Republican
control the number of permanent annual
employees of the House was and their
pay amounted to $194,190 a year. Now
the number of permanent employees is
173 and their pay amounts to $207,798
a year. Other expenditures have increas
ed in similar proportion, and if that party
had sole control of the Government it
would not be long until the National Treas
ury would be bankrupt. Their pensions
to rebel soldiers, which will be paid if
Hancock is elected, would take several
millions out of it. The Democratic party
dare not be trusted.

"Our Noble Nominee."
Bellefonte Republiemn.]
The Demorrutie Tratclimitil, in its issue
of July 2d, in a leader under the above
caption, says :
"It was Gen. Hancock's devotion to the princi
ples of civil. Itw while in the highest military
command that realls made him the Democratic
nominee for Presided, although his magnificent
military record excites the most enthusiastic ad
miration everywhere and among all parties. Rut
he would nevertheless hardly:have been made the
Democratic candidate had it not been for his civil
record in Louisiana and Texas."
The, italics are ours. This is a very frank
confession on the part of the leadingDem
ocreic paper in Centre county—that bad
it not been fur General Hancock's civil
record in Louisiana and Texas he never
would have been nominated for President
by the Democratic party. Of course it
would not. However brilliant his military
record, and however much it may excite
enthusiastic admiration among all parties,
yet that according to the Watchman would
not have ingratiated him into the favor of
a National Democratic Convention.
This is true, because when Hancock was
making his mag nificent military record the
Mitch/nun an d every other paper of the
same ilk dubbed him with such pleasing
titles and epithets as a "Lincoln Hire
ling," "public marauder and plunderer,"
and in 1865, and as late as 1872, denom
inated him • butcher," "hangman," etc,
because of the part he performed in the
execution of Mrs. Surratt. Now we have
no opprobrious epithets to heap upon Gen
eral 11ancock, and would not be guilty of
heaping the abuse upon him that the
Watchman and all other Democratic papers
did during the war, when he was making
his magnificent military record.
But we do admire his military record
because he proved himself a patriotic and
gallant soldier, and did as much to defeat
the treason of the Democratic party of the
country in their efforts to destroy the gov
ernment as any other one man we know of.
For that we admire and respect him. For
that the Wakhman and the Democratic
party do not admire him, and would Dot
have nominated him as their candidate for
President on his magnificent record.
The Watchman says he was nominated
because of his civil record in Louisiana
and Texas. What was Gen. Hancock's
civil record in Louisiana and Texas T
In 1867, as the special friend of Andy
Johnson, the President of the United
States, he went to 'Louisiana and• Texas,
the successor of General Sheridan, who re
fused to be used by the President in the
interest of the "White Leaguers," and as
a menial to carry out the "my policy" of
the President. Andy Johnson, who be
came President through a very fatal acci
dent to the country, the assassination of
Abraham Lincoln, undertook to reconstruct
all the Southern States, so as to enhance
his own and his friends' political interests.
General Sheridan, in Louisiana and Texao,
refused to serve as his tool. Gen. Han
cock was called upon and obeyed the com
mand of his superior, and went down there
armed with lot of general orders, which
had been prepared by Judge Jerry Black,
and promulgated them. He did nothing
and would do nothing to prevent the White
Leaguers from enacting and enforcing their
black codes, and by his non-interference
in behalf of the rights of freedom and the
principles of free government, he so in
gratiated himself into the good favor of.°
White Leaguers and Ku Klux of Louisi
ana and Texas that he became their can
didate for President in 1868, they voting
for him in convention in New York, and
has been their standing candidate ever
since. This is his civil record in Louisi
ana and Texas, which the Watchman says
secured his nomination in the Democratic
convention and without which he could
not have been nominated.
The Wildman gives the true sentiment
of its party when it asserts it has no love
for Hancock's magnificent military record,
and subordinates it all to his civil record
in Louisiana and Texas. What love the
Democratic piny always has had and still
professes to have fur the Union soldier !
POLITICAL INTIMIDATION.
Republican Candidates for Office With-
draw.
Two I; y Singular Letters from Two 41-
abainans—The Peculiar Pressure of the
Democrats too Strong to be Resisted—
Fear of Assassination the Cause of the
Withdrawal—Political Intolerance in

Candidates to Withdraw.
WAsitINGToN, July 28.—Alabama pa
pers contain cards from two Republican
candidates for local offices withdrawing
their names. The cards bear internal evi
dence that the work of intimidation has
begun in one locality at least; or probably
it has never ended since it was first intro
duced from Mississippi.
The first card is from Mr. M. L. Bowie,
a one-legged ex confederate soldier, whom
the Republicans proposed to place on their
local county ticket. Mr. .Bowie says :
"I desire to pay that I am not a candi
date for any office in Dallas county. For
anything I have done to obtain one I alone
am responsible, and not Judge Craig or
any other mail. My condition, and my
duty to my family, which demands an
honest effort for their support, alone promp
ted my course. It' by expressing a desire
for public office I have committed a sin, I
for one am ready to bear my part of the
consequences, whatever others may see fit.
to do."
The second letter is from E. H. Craig,
Republican candidate for circuit judge.
He says :
"I have endeavored always to do my
duty as a citizen and an officer, but if my
candidacy for an office is to have this effect
upon the community I ought not longer
continue in the contest, and withdraw from
it, believing that with the prejudices ex
cited against me by the individuals who
are managing the campaign on the other
side, my influence for good in the office
would be destroyed."
On a fair vote the county in which these
men reside gives a Republican majority of
20,000, but the Hancock Democrats down
there will permit no Republican to make
a canvass against the Democracy. An at
tempt to do so, after having been notified
to withdraw, will result in their assassina
tion. Can loyal Democrats in the North
vote for a man who will be the tool of
these cut-throats ?
THE Ohio Democrats have nominated
the following State ticket : Judge William
Long, of Tiffin, for Secretary of State; M.
B. Follett, for Supreme Judge; Richard
