Tho- lordly rulers of the Republican party havo at lust come to grief. .Ho viously disappointed at tho wisdom dis played by tbo Democratio party in the nomination of General II uncock lor President, they at onco determined to break him down by the most bitter assaults. Thoy began with tho Sur- ratt businoss and that fell flut npon tho country and died of its own weight Then thoy tried his soldior record, but Goncral Sherman promptly said "write down anything you pleuso about (ion oral Hun cock an a soldier and a gen tleinan, and I will chcorlully sign it.' Next they succeeded in blinging to light tho Sherman letter written about tho timo of tho Hayes fraud, and that was found to be a most patriotio papor worthy tho best days and ablest cili Eon of tho Republic. And last, foiled in ovory attompt to destroy tho char acter of tho Democratio candidate, and turn back the tide of success that is setting in, they raised the cry of general bankruptcy, Southern claims, Rebel pensions and such a condition of universal ruin as would send tho coun try to genorul smash. In answer to a letter upon this sub ject, found olsowhoro in this puper, General Hancock puts un effectual quiotuB upon tho wholo subject, and we doubt ifuny one will bo so far gono on tho way to lunacy as to beliove any moro of tho silly stories of tho Repub licans af tor reading this letter. It is tho instructive and spontaneous utter auco of a patriotic man giving ex pression to the honest indignation of his soul at tho baro thought that ho or tho Domocratio party could provo so falso to tho principles of patriotism and loyalty to tho country. It will givo additional security to tho country In tho just conclusion that at last a statesman will bo called to tho front ono who will summon his great abilities for the administration of tho Government in tho interest of all the pcoplo of every section of our beloved country. To our mind thcro will bo no moro inquiries about tho opinions of Goncral Hancock on puhlio questions, and his last letter is the brightest gleam of statesmanship that has yet appeared, and will gladden the hearts of millions of our pcoplo as it is read all over our land. A THUNDERING INQUIRY. August Belmont, the great Now York Hanker, was made President of tho monstor Hancock meeting held in that city, on tho 23d inst., when and whero 40,000 torches were counted, and it took three hours to pass a certain point. Such a procossion was never witnessed in America. Mr. Belmont, on tiiking tho chair, among other things, said: "Why was it that tho Foderal dobt could not be fundod at a loss rato of intorest than six and seven porcontum ? And just as soon as tho Democrats got con trol of Congress, the intorest on the debt camo down to FOUR por cont.; and siucoour friondsbavogotcontrolof tho Sonato, millions of tho debt has been negotiated for THREE AND ONE-HALF. Why was that not done before tho Democrats came into in tho Legislative branch of tho Gov ernment, and tho burthens of tbo tax payers cased up to the amount of mil lions of dollars annually?" Tho conundrum pntby Mr. Belmont, is ono to which we call the attontion of Judge McEnally, Messrs. Murray, Harris, and other Radical orators. Tho question raised by Mr. Belmont is very simple but highly important to tho tax-payers who havo had millions of their money stolen by the excessive interest Imposed npon thorn by the Radical leaders in the past eighteen years. Blaini Explains. The overthrow of tho Radicals in Maine, was not only a great surpriso, but a crushing blow to bonalor Blaine. On Tuesday (the day after the election) Blaino sent tho following dispatch from Augusta to Genoral Garfield. How tho General enjoyed it has not boon reported. Hero is tho document : "The Bet reeultof ysstordav's election aaaoarlr aa ean be aletsd at thli bonr (2 P. M.

Tho sun struck Sonator has boon telegraphing ever sinoe the loss of his State, bnt it won't straighten out. The loss of 10,000 since 1870 is a sovore blow to Blaine, Frye, Hale k Co. Nearlt Flopping.

Col., you will never have as fine a chanco to flop on tho right side of human affairs as now. i -1 j No You Don't I One of the amus ing things about the result in Maine is the charge of the Republicans that tho FuBiomsla carried tbe election by fraud. This does not come with good grace from a party which stolo tbe President and then rowardod the thieves. We wait for bolter reason. Chairman Cessna, in one of bis pri- vato circulars to his Radical party friends, stated that a large number of persona "voted through their eyee" lacking all other intelligence. We wonder whethor those follows down in Maine saw It that way ? I EM OCR A TIC DOCUMENTS.

Sickles, who has hitherto been an activo Republi can, and was Minister to Spain under Grant, of bis intention to support Gen. Hancock, was the subjoct of much comment in political circles yoBtcrday. At the National Democratio Uoadquar tors Genoral Sickles's accession to tho Democracy was considered of great value. Tho gonoral boliof among the Democrats was that the General's dec laration would bring to Hancock's support thousands ol soldiers who serv ed in tho army of tho Potomac, and who havo hithorto actod with tho Re publican party. Some Republicans, who are not activo politicians, regard Gonoral Sickles's withdrawal from tho Repulican party as a very damaging blow. They oponly oxpross tho opin ion that his admitted ability as a po litical manager should not bo lost to tho Republicans, and thoy fear his in fluence with the veteran Union soldiers. General Sickles said, that ho was a candidato for no office Ho should vote for General Hancock, because ho bolievod that tho country would bo entirely safe under an administration of whioh he was the head, He had not dotormincd whether ho would tako an activo part in tho campaign or not. Genoral Sickles was in command of tho Third Corps at Gettysburg, and lost his leg thero. On tho following day Gonornl Hancock also fell dospor ately wounded just as his corps had rcpulsod Longstroet recently appoint ed by President Hayes as Ministor to Turkey and won tho great bottlo. Impudent. Most of tboso Credit Mobilier statesmen aro coming to tho surface in the Interest of De Golyor Garfield. Even Colfax has tho Impu- doneo to bark occasionally in the inter ost of his soiled confederate Tho Philadelphia Itccord hits ono of those soiled doves this kind of a clip :. lion. O leant W. Hcslleld, who was one of the Pennsylvania statesmen whoso liRbt waa dark ened by tbe Credit Mobilier eclipss. It again beaming on tbe bcrison. He waa last beard from at Emporium, Cameron oounty, la the edge oi ine wilderness. Our ox Representative was tricked by Oakos Amos's French words, Cred it Mobilier. Ho had tho audacity to tell a respectable audienco in Eric oounty that he did not know what tboso words meant, when at the timo tho wholo audienco saw tho stock papers sticking out of his pockets. Goinu Up. Last year tho Demo crats polled 2,853 votes at tho primary oloction. This year it runs up to 8,05!) on Assembly; Prothonotary, 3,510 Register k Rocordcr, 3,515; and on Surveyor, 3,402. This shows that tho Democrats aro awake to surrounding evonts. Moro: Tho result of last Sat urday a week shows another fact. Over ono third of all tho votors in tho oounty patronized tho primary. Tho Registry list in the Commissioners' offleo shows that thoro aro 10,018 votors in tho county, abont 8,600 of whom wore at the primary. Let us IIavi it. Now that G Hancock has gratified the curiosity of the Radical journals with another let ter it in order for those journals, especially those pretentious organs of protection, tho Philadelphia Prus and the Pittsburgh Diipatch, to demand of Gonoral Garfiold that he furnish for publication hit oorrespondonce with the British Free Trado Cobdon Club at the time of his election as an hon orary member of that Association.

Tbo absent mombor of tho Convention proved to bo Mr. Othello Smead, of Burnsido township, who was reported sick by Mr. Gorman, tho other delegate. On motion of Joseph II. Rowles, Mr. Gorman waa authorized to cast the two votea of his district, according to instructions, thus making a full Con vention of 79 delegates, 40 of whom would bo necessary to make a nomi nation. Thoro wore no contested scats nor memorials or protests presented. Tho Chairman then announced that tho next business in order was tho election of two tellers to tally tho pop. ulurvote. Mr. Mooro nominated Mr. Georgo Weaver, who declined, and in turn nominated W. C. liolnibold ol Curwensvillo, and A. 11. Rosuncransof Huston. Tho motion was seconded by various parlies, and unanimously agreed to. At this point, Mr. Mooro introduced some resolutions, but by common consent they went over until tho candidates were nominated, and tho clerks proceeded to tally tho pop ular vote. Tho Chairman stated that the first business in cider was the nomination of a candidate for Assembly, and or dered tho Convention to proceed to a nallot, resulting as lollows : James Ftyna of (lullcb township, had 47 votes.

Mr. Stewart then offered the follow ing: r?eioleeil, That tleerge II.

Tho resolution was agreed to unnni mously. Mr. Steiner then offered tho following; tlitoUed, That Dr. J.W. Potter, of Covington, James L. Leery, of ClearOeld, and John K. White, of Osceola, be selected aa OengreSMonal Conferees to meet with tho other Conlerses ol this District, and naino a Democratic candidate for Congrees in ths XXth Congressional District. Mr. Moore moved to amend1 the res olulion, by adding tho name of John F. Weaver fop one of tho gentlemen named in tbo priginal. Alter somo wrangling over it, together with ad vice from tho rcur, tho nmendmant wus withdrawn '.and the resolution adopted without debate. Mr. Flynn then offered tho billowing resolution : rVfsoI.eir, Thai A. W, Wallers, ct Clearfield, Winleld 8.

McGhoe, of Bell, bo appointed a Com mitteo to wait upon the nominees and inform them of wbnt happened, and bring them before tho Convontion. Tho motion was agreed to, and it was but a short timo until all woro on hand. Each nominee was introduced to tho Convention by Chairman Stei ner, and a common senso speech made by all of them. At the conclusion ol tho remarks mado by tho nominees, Chairman Uurchfleld arose and return ed thanks to the Convention for the confidence Imposed In him by his re election. On motion ol John Smith, the Con vontion adjourned sine die, with throe boarty choers for Hancock and the whole ticket. John's Mistake. John Sherman said in a recent spooch : " Thoro wore no Republicans in tho Rebel army ; no, not one." Ho forgot his friends Longstreet and Moshy, who are cred ited with having fought on that side. In tho present campaign, they both voto as thoy shot. General Grant announce that he is coming East. Why didn't be come before tho election in Maine T He hould have helped to boom the thing up down there weeks ago. Election, held Saturday, lUOIITKM AND BlCuKDRR, FINAL RESULT IN MAINE. From the hour when the first report of tho Maine election wus flashed over tho wiro, there has been no timo when the result could possibly bu viewed in any other light than that of a most dislicurtchingdclunlol tbo Reiiiiblicans. Even when it was confidently as serted that Davis had been re elected by a plurality of a fow hundred votes, thn Republicans were coinpeRod! to confess a loss of about 15,000 votes as compared with tho corresponding elec tion 01 tne lust, rrcsiuciiuui year. On this melancholy and demoraliz ing exhibit tbo ltudicals stimulated hi. litrity which was less creditublo to their courage than their sense. Their organs mado a stout effort to keep up tho failing moralo of tho Republican masses, and somo of their committees hired batteries to (ire salutes thus jubilating over such a loss in Maine as, u mnlctica in other Kepuolican iStales, will leave tho party so fur out in tho cold ol chill November that it will havo littlo bopo of ever getting back to its old pnsseiuinns. Wbilo tho result was in doubt, tho Poft did not doom it best to harrow up tbo Radical mind with frequent allu sions to the disaster that had befallen their parly. Wo were willing that tho unhnppy brethren should guthcr such scant crumbs ol consolation as their gloomy outlook afforded. And even their asinine performance of firing 200 guns over their disaster clie ited nothing tincharitablo or unkind. Hut now that tho election of Gen Plaislod is conceded, we feel that it is quito timo to remind the Republicans of their folly, and to say that tho full import ol tho Fusion victory in Maino bus never been exaggerated. No ono doubts that Hancock is stronger than Plaistcd with tho voters oftlio Pino Treo Stale No man doubts that Maine is lost to Garfield. It is equally evident to sagacious politicians of all parlies that tho Radical loss in this preliminary strugglo foreshadows the fate of that party in the gonoral en gagement on tho 2d of November. I I'dsTiiiirjf on rost. Down in Maine. Tho Now York Sun, in alluding to what happened rccontly away down East, remarks : "Because of the delinquencies of tho Republican newspapers and orators, tho rank and file of that party aro likoly to miss tho roal point of tbo Maine election. "We havo looked into half-a-dozen loading Republican journals in as many Wostorn States, and wo find that on the morning of tho election in Maine they prodictod a majority for Davis for Govornor of from 12,000 to 15,000. It is evident from the tonoof the news papers that thoy had received thoir impressions from Blaine At tho East tbo Republicans near tho close of the contest becamo more moderate in thoir anticipations. But oven here and in Now England the leaders of opinion in tho party claimed a majority ol botwoon 6,000 nnd 0,000. J ust before the election that gorgeous blower, Mnjor-Goncral Jndson J. Kilpntrick, lresh from the stump In Maino, assured tho Now Jorsoy Republicans that Ia vis would get a majority of 12,000. "These glowing prophooies have como to naught. Tho tido sols strong, ly in the opposite direction. Tho terri ble disaster in Maino at tho September contest will be followed by the defeat of the Garfield electoral lickot in No vomber. Now Hampshire tools tho shock ; and the granilo ribs of tho party in that State are likoly to yield to the pressure. Connecticut did pot nocd tho inspiration of a victory in Maino to mako It snro for Hancock. I "So much for New England. But it is at tho West that tho results in Maino will prodtico tho greatest otfect. Tboy will certainly givo Indiana to tho Democrats in Oclobor, and they will probably cause a Republican do feat on tho same day In Ohio; while Pennsylvania on the East and Illinois on tho West will be apt to follow the example of their neighbors in Novem ber." Cabinet Marino. The Washing ton 1'ott pnts it in this way: "The first important duty devolving upon President Hancock after his inaugura tion will be the formation of a Cabinet. Considerable interest will attach to his selections, which, wo feel authorized to annonnco, Gen. Hancock will mnke himtelf. The Genoial will bo tho re cipient of advico npon this subject from many sources and quarters. ' Wo pro poso to content ourselves with simply suggesting what wo consider would be an ideal Democratio Cabinot : Secretary of Stale Jeremiah 8. Black, af Secretary of tha Treasury Ssmuel 1. Tilden, of New York. Secretsry ol War Georgo D. MoClcllan of New Jersey. Secretary of Iba Navy Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana. Serratary ef Ihe Interior-Allen O. Thurmaa. ofOblo.

Out in tbe Stateof Indiana a revolution has broken out among the Grcenbackers. Tho chief "floppcr" is Hon. J. R. Yoagley, thoir nominee for Secretary of Slate. IIo has openly declared for Hancock, and has declined tho Greenback nomi nation for the office montioncd, and invites every Grecnbatkor to follow suit. Honest and Wise. Tbe editor of tho Qlobe, the Radical organ in Hunt ingdon county, in alluding to the mis fortune that bclell Lie party down cast says: "Don'l let tho reverse in, Maine oast yoq down." That's nice advice to tho vanquished. The floppen meeting in Pittsburgh, last week was the biggest thing ever witnessed In Western Pennsylvania Hancock, all. Tax !

II A VICA L EA'THA 'A OA NCR No record shows plainer Iho ex trurnguncu of Iho Republicans than their course in this Slutu for the twen ty years Ihey have been in power. The oflleiul figures prove, thut ill this time, tho ordinary expenses of Iho State government havo been increased from ?';70,074, tho lust year the Dem ocrats were in power, to 11,332,383, tho lust year of Ilartruitfl's adminis tration. In this timo tho salaries of tho State officers, of every description, have boon increased from Governor down to tido-wator. Wo naino a few ol tho offices, below, to show tho in crease; and for purposes of compari son will take tho year 1850, tho last of Govornor Faokor, and 1879, tho last of Governor Hurtrunft. In this time not only huvo sultiries of ull kinds been ruised, sometimes us much us two or thrco hundred per cent., but all ex penses, incidenlal to tho conduct of the State government, have been cor respondingly increased. Let tho tax payers look at theso figures : i 1850. 1878. 10,000 4,000 1,500 3,1110 .1,5110 4,1100 3.500 5,000 9,000 Salary of Qovcrnor I 4,000 Secretary of Commonwealth......

Tbo Suite government has become a very expensive affair instoad of the inexpensive thing of 1859, in Democratio hands. These officials ren der no more, nor belter, service than when their salaries were much lower. Tho money, every cent of it, comes lrom the pockets of the people, in some shape Has tho wages of tho labor ing man, mechanio, or the return of the farmer for his toil, been increased n proportion to tho pay of oflicc-holt!. orsr 1 boy havo not. 1 bus it has al ways been with tho Republican party. When they get into power they con sider offices places of money. making, instead of public trust, bunco increase tho salaries, as well as create new offices.

Tho correspondence is as follows: Cincinnati, September 20 (len. IT. ,S. Hancock, Uovcrimr't Island, N. Y. Dear sir: I inclose slips cm from the Gazette and Comiiifrcid, of this city, both of litem newspapers of large circulation and influence in Ohio and Inditiua, rvfurring. us vuti will wo, to the much harped upon subject in our politics, or tho rebel claims' 1 heso newspapers and Republican slump speakers aro constantly asserting that it you aro elected President the claims ol tho disloyal pcoplo of tho South for losses sustained in tho war will bo al lowed, and paid hy the United Slates. They further direct special attention to tho fact that this chorgo lias been mado against tho Democratic party and ttlttl you, its candidato lor Presi dent, have not denied it. This wur furu is mado in all seriousness and maintained with great earnestness and repeated day after day in the press and in speeches. You aro known to tho country as a frank, honest soldier, now tbe representative of tho Democratic party and having n right to speak tor it. Whatever you muy say tho people will hear and beliuvo 1 submit tbo matter to your good judgment as to what you should say or whether you should make any public utterance at all. Very respectfully yours, (Signed) Theodore Cook. General Hancock replies, as lollows: Governor's l-dand, N. Y. Sept. 23. To Theodore Cook, Esq., Cincinnati, Ohio Hear Sir: Your letter of the 20th inst has been received. 1 regret that you aro disturbed about thnt bug bear, Southern war claims. The peo ple cannot bo mislead by iL To sup poso thnt rebel claims or claims in the interest of persons who were in tho Rebellion can in any soy or in any degree be countenanced, is an imputu tion of disloyalty such as used to be made against Democrats, even when they were in arms delondingtho coun try. So fur as it touches me, 1 do nouncc it. Tho Government can nev er pay a debt or grant pension, or re ward of any sort for waging war upon its own existence, nor could I bo in duced to approve or encourage the paymont ot such debt, pension or re ward. Nobody oxpects or wants such unnatural action. To propose it would bo an insult to the intelligence and honor of our peojdo. When the Re bellion was crushed Iho heresy of se cession in every form and in every in cident went down forever. It is a thing ot tho post. Wo move forward, not backward. Jt 1 were t'rosident, I would veto all legislation which might come bedim nie providing for j the consideration or payment ol claims i of any kind for losses or damages by persons who were in tho Rebellion, whether pardoned or not. In relation to Union war claims the Government';, obligations to its defenders como lirsl. Thev aro lusting and sucted. Tbo public luws of civilized nations do not in general, recognize claims for injuries to properly resulting lrom tho opera lions of war. Novcrlholcss our Gov ernment has treated with groat indul gence tho claims for lossos and dama ges suffered by Union men from mili tary operations of tbe wur of tho Union. nut as hostilities were closed moro than fifteen years ago, claims of that nnlure, now mostly in tho hands of persons other than tho original suffer ors, are becoming stale and in my judgment might tuirly bo considered as barred by the lapse ol tune anil it hereafter entertained at all should bo subjected to tho strictest scrutiny.
