Tam Republicans of the Third district
ofaansas know when they have got a
good representative Land are wise enough
to keep him; so they have nominated
Hon: THOMAS Ryins . by acclainmation4r
re-election.
THE Democratic rejoicing over the
nomination of General IDoscots was well
explained by a hilarious , but not overwise
Democrat, when he exclaimed—" Thank
GOD ! we are once more 'under the flag of
the talon."
WREN-Genetal HAIITRANFT was a can
didate for - Governor of this State,, the
Democratic papers called him Hangman
HARTRANFT. As they invented that dig
nified title it belongs to them, and they
are at liberty to apply- it to their candi
date if they deem it 'appropriate.
AFTER two years' probation, WRIT
TAKER has . failed to . pass the . neceasary
examination, and the West Point authori

from the roll. If the Secretary of War,
endorses the suggestion, as no doubt he
Will, an:unpleasant situation will be end
ed in a natural and effective manner.
A LITTLE while ago, it appears to us
that we beard some talk of "deposing"
Senator-CAsrEnox from the Chairmanship
of the - National Committee. Novi there'
is some talk of "deposing " him into the
place. We trust be will take the Chair
manship,• because that would ensure a
vigorous and sagacious conduct of the
campaign, and be another guarantee, if
any were needed, of success in November.
COLONEL TAPPAN, who was a member
of. the Indian Peace Commission in 1867,
furnishes some interesting reminiscences
which show that General HAscocK's.ex
perience and bravery as a corp commander
during the rebellion did not save him from
a bad failure as an Indian fighter. His
campaign against the Cheyennes in Kan
sas eiast the Government •$9,000,000 and
resulted in the killing of two Indians, and
they 'were too old to defend themselves.
TUE Norristown 'Herald says that
" Lancaster, Erie, Crawford • and other
districts in onr'State; in. making nomina
tions for Assembly, have instructed their
candidates to support Mr. Gaon for
Vnited States Senator. The popularity
of this distinguished Republican, his long
devotion to, the principles of his party,
and a disposition among the people to
:secure a first-class man, make him a most
'available candidate for the position.;",

THE Republican State Convention of
Maine met at Augusta Wednesday. BOIL
L. A. EMERY was made Vempotary and af
terwards - permanent chairman. There
were 973 defegates present. Governor
D. was renominated' by acclamation.
The- resolutions adopted accept the plat
form of the National Republican Conten
tion', indorse the nominations of JAMES 4,
A. GARFIELD and CHESTER A. ARTHUR,
though a clause is inserted that " we had
hoped for the nomination of Maine's'
favorite, HOJIAMES.G. BLAINE." The
resolutions also denounce the record of
the fusionists as infamous.

TRE Eisteddfod, the great musical and

Boltz of the De ~ (icratio Rapers have
charged that General °ammo not only
advocated the salary grab, but took the
back pay himself. The facts are that he
opposed the project during all its stages,
and w•as among the vat firstto turn into
the Treasury the amouni
which was due
him under the bill. a proof of this
latter fact appears. fi r' m a Uttar which
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury VP
mg has written an inquirer, in which he
says : "It appears! from the records of
this office that the sum of t. 548 was de
pasited to the credit of the treasurer of
the United States in the name of Jatt*s
A..GAnyisa.b, and on account of ' retro
aativelncrease of salary,' on the 2d of
April, 1573, and that this amount was
covered into the Treasury by miscellane
ous co vering warrant No. 704, second
;quarter, 1873, and cannot be withdrawn
except by an act of Congress."
THE Democratic 'National Convention
which met in Cincinnati on Tuesday of
last week, after rejecting the Tammany
delegates from New York, on Wednesday
afternoon proceeded to ballot for a candi
date for President, with the following re
sults : the votes' given being the number
of delegates recorded for each candidate:
Whole number, 738 ;.,necessary to a
chOice, 492;•HANCOCK, 171 ; BAYARD, 153 k
PAYNE, 81; FIELD, ; MORRISON, 64;
THURMAN, ; HENDRICEN 501 ;
TIL
DEN, 38, and 38 scattering votes, divided
among Messrs. SEYMOUR, ..?I.ICDONALD,
EWING, RANDALL, 31cCLE1,41Varixr.n,
JEWETT, ENGLISH, BLACK, LOVELAND, of
Colorado, and LGTHROP, of Michigan.
After the result of this test of strength,
the Convention adjourned until Thursday
morning.
The morning Session soon ; produced re
sults which showed that TILDEN's power
to make the candidate had been frittered
away. New York came up nobly, on the
first ballot With her 70 votes for:RANDALL,
but the Pennsylvania delegation divided
between the favorite sons by giving 32
votes to HANCOCK,. and 25 to RANDALL.
Before the vote was announced, State
after state changed its vote, and the re
sult was HaNcocs, 705 ; EIENDRICID3, 311;
,BAYARD, 2 ; TILDEN 1.
' After the Customary gush and endorse
ment of the candidate, the Convention
nominated WILLIAM 11. EITLIBB, of In
diana, as the candidate for Nice President.
THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION.
To say that. the Democracy is jubi
lant over the Cincinnati nominations
is to feebly express the feelings of a
party which escaped such a happy
deliverance from the threatened and
anticipated danger of a possible TM
DEN,Or what was worse,,perhaps, the
infliction of a RANDALL. IL - is this
narrow escape from what seemed
inevitable, which has aroused a sud
den spurt of entliusiaSm in the Dem
ocratic ranks, and given rise to wild
and unreasonable hopes of success.
The Democrtic party is remarkable
for a display ,, fif confidence where
- the're is not even the remotest possi
bility of success. And now that till
Cincinnati Convention did not do Lte
very worst, thing that might, have
been done ; that it did not put ih
nomination candidates so objectiona
ble as to shock even the sensibilities
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, Ltia-t,they!are filled
with exultation, and the sensation
of having a
,that
'candidate
is so new that they fancy past
political offences are to be con
doned, and the country will make
hake to ratify the accidental action
of the bewildered Cincinnati Con
vention.
We imagine that while there is just
reason 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 be
cause they present 118 their candidate
even so respectable a man and such
a gallant soldier' as Gen. HANCOCK.
We have not one word to say against
the patriotism, the courage, the ser
vices of the distinguished General
who had such' a promident part in
leading the Uriion armies to victory
and in preserving the Union against
the efforts of the Confederate leaders
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 disparagement of Gen.
HANcorx, because it would be unde
served, and then the great issues that
underlie the contest do not hinge up
on ,Military services of any man, nor
whether he is a shade more or less
qualified for the high office for which
he is named ; bat 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 na
tion to the keeping of the men and
the party which has sought within
the present generation to overthrow
it ?
For the election of Gen. Hexcocx
means not the rewarding of a deserv
ing 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 gov
ernmtnt and the control of that goy
ern' ment by the bite Confederates,
because the ex-rebels are the ruling
element 'in the Democratic party—
mould its purposes and guide its
action. That this controlling 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,
.Tet the cherished theo'
ries of the States-rights revolution 4
ists have never been
.abandoned, and
will be put forward and' urged to
adoption so - soon as the fear of a
popular rebuke is removed.
We are told that s distinguished
Union soldier has been 11orninsted
by the ex-re!)ele,se if that w iKt act
Which IlluttrAtel their hiv. forth

Union soldier, their regard for the
Union, and their repentancelor 'the
great . crimes which, within the pres
ent generation, caused the loss of so
many lives, so much of misery and
sorrow, and an expenditure of treas
ure so great that its burdens are
almost unsupportable. And a rebel .
General seconds the domination and
pledges for his support a " Solid
South!" 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 qualifications which pe
culiarly fit hith 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 kir
,a Democratic .candidate 1' Are they
ready to acknowledge the heinous
ness of their offenses, and the justice
of the Union cause? - Are they will
ing to renounce the heresy of States
rights, and to guarantee to every citi
'zen the protection of the National
government in the enjoyment of all
his rights?. Where is the evidence
of any such change, or any disposi
tion to live in fraternal peace and
concord, guranteeing 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
honorable and fraternal-disposition,
and the nomination of u distinguish
ed Union General, is no guarantee of
any desire or purpose on the part of
the Confederates to abate one single
effort towards the accomplishment of
the purposes which brought about
the Rebellion, and which were so
offensively prominent at the Extra
Session of Congress. The Southern
politicians are proverbially shrewd ,
and astute, and they usually 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 ? gertainly it is not
his services in saving the Union that
commiends him to their favor. It will
hardly be claimed that because he
was a brave soldier, and fought gal
lantly to put down the Rebellion
that the Confederates honor him
therefor and would reward him with
the Presidency? When did they be
come so magnanimous, and so full of
regaT h d for the boys in blue'? No
suchipretension will stand thejest
for a moment, and the reason for
their desire to honor a Union soldier
must be looked for elsewhere.
The reason for the nomination of
Gen: HANCOCK, and his acceptance
by the rebels to the extent of pledg
ing him a solid South, is their desire
and determination to get into power.
The Union soldier is taken to fool
the North. While Gen. HANcocit's
military qualities are admitted, yet
he has been trained in camps and is
without the education, t experience or
qualifications which fit him for the
Presidency.. Once inaugurated and
the wily Southern politicians know
that he would be as wax in their
hii - nds, and could be moulded in any
.shape they might desire. Whatever
might be the desire of Gen. HAN
COCK, as President he would be under
the control of the men who nomina
ted 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 subtle
and powerful influences which would
be brought to bear upon him ? The
election of Gen. HANCOCK means
the complete supremacy of the
rebel element in the government;
the undoing of all that was
settled by the -War for the Union,
and the retrograding of the nation,
losing all that has been gained
during the present generation. We
cannot believe that such a Calam
ity is to fall upon the nation, and
certainly it will not if every Repub. ,
lican realizes the danger and the,
necessity for increased activity, vigi
lance and exertion.
.EOVNTT constriEE MEETING.
The Republican County Committee
was called together at this place on
Saturday last, and though no special
ly impOrtant business was to be trans
acted, every election district was rep
resented. This unusual and extra
ordinary interest shows tLe unani
mity and cordiality with which the
Chicago nominations are received,
and the determination of the Repub
licans not to permit the government
to pass into the hands of. the Con
federates. The Committeemen in at
tendance all give the same account of
the feeling which animates the party
throughout the Country. There are
no malcontents—the party is a unit,
and there is a spirit manifested which
will bring odt every Republican vote
in . November to swell the victory
which is Within our reach.
But this victory is not to be gain
ed without effort. The election of
GARFIELD and Annum is to be made
certain only by vigilance and activity.
The desperation of . the Democracy
knows know bounds. . 1 , Their banish
ment from place and power for
twenty years has increased their in
tense desire to get possession of the
'government, and - they have shretidly
brought to their aid the name and .
service of a gallant soldier, in the
hopes that his meritorious deeds
might cover and efface from . the
memory of the- American people the
crimes and misdeeds of t the rebels,
who have promised the snppoit of a
solid South. A South which is to
cast its electoral vote solid against
a Union General, because he believed
that treason should be madakilioni,
and traitors inudshed._ It is to avert
this daliger iti fi*Po 4ll 4: - Of
&Area
practical work , of the campaign. The
County Couubittee has taken the
initiative. • The Chairman, Capt PECK, '
is in every way ' competent, for the
work,' and he is ably seconded by the
members of the C6mniittee, but the
eo-operation of every Republican in
the County ia demanded. Let the
organization be thorough, that the
work may be efficiently done. ,For
this purpose, there should be Clubs
formed in ,every °election district.
The young Republicans of the
the County, are ready and anxious
to begin the work. Let there be no
delay. Systematic effort is what
tells. 'Personal exertion is what 'is
1-equired, .and . if properly applied, we
tan roll up our 4000. majority for
Oi l tarr.r.n and the Union.
VOCITING OUT.
In successfully accomplishing the
postponement of the consi‘leratiOn
of the joint rule to regulate' the elec
toral count, the Republicans have
only scotched the snake, not killed
it.. This iniquitous measure will he
pressed by the. majority to it's passage,
when Congress shall reassemble, un
less the popular expression in No
vember is so emphatic in rebuke of
the Democratic scheme, and in defeat
of the Democratic candidates, as to
deter those who have determined to
eount out the successful Republican
President-elect, if any possible pre
test can be invented to excuse the
outrage. The MTmos.N joint rule
which has been temporarily delayed,
was nothing more or less than a plan
to take from the electoral colleges of
the States, where it properly belongs,
the adjustment of questions affecting
the vote of the state, and placing in
of Congress, the settlement of con
troverted returns. Should it be adopt
ed, the Democratic majority in Con
gress, will have .the power to thwart
the expression of the• popular will
should it be adverse to. the Demo
cratic candidates, by receiving and
counting returns which, ,have been
Manufactured for the express pur
pose of setting aside the result where
it was favorable to the Republican
=
candidates. The lesson of Maine
Should not be lost upon the people.
The disgraceful attempt in the Pine
tree State to reverse the judgment of
the people, as expressed at the polls,
upon the most trivial technicalities,
shows what may be eipectedi when
the defeated and desperate Democ
racy shall have in their hands the
counting of the electoral vote.
But the voters of the.nation can
prevent the consummation of this
intended,wrong, by rendering such a
decided Verdict in November as will
deter those who are now contempla
ting it front its furthilit prosecution.
They can give such positive majori
ties for GARFIELD and ARTHUR as
will not allow of any excuse for set•
ting aside or changing the vote of
any Northern 'State. This -will he
the safest and wisest, ] and towards
this result every Republican should
bend his efforts until the polls close
on the 2d day of November. That
it is the purpose of the Democracy
to invent some' pretext .for setting
aside the will of the people is abun
dantly shown in their declarations
and in their threats to . inaugurate
their candidite.
In their desperate desire to get
control of the .government they will
not hesitate to re-enact the shameful
and fraudulent Maine proceedings,
and having a majority in both branches
s of the National Legislature, have the
power to subvert the popular will, if
the people are so cowardly as to per
mit it. But the expression in Novem
ber.Ciin be so'emphatic that even the
Democratic leaders will be awed and
stayed in their Mesal and revolution
ary designs.
SIUDGE POLAND, who was chairman of
the credit 3fobiliCr Committee,. iu a re
cent letter to the Vermont Republican
Convention, gives the following good tes
timonj+• for GARFIELD. The Judge writes :
"I only desire to have an opportunity to
express to the bonvention and to Repub
licans' everywheie my entire approval• of
the nominations made at Chicago. Prat
ably no man in Vermont knows General
GARFIELD more intimately than myself.
He was in. Congress during the whole of
my the years' service, and for eight years
we stood together in the House, and ever
on terms of, friendship and intimacy. Of
his eminent ability, power in debate and
untiring devotion _to public service, I
need not speak. His long service and
leading position in Congress have made
them known 'to all the people of the
country who take
.any interest in public
affairs. But our political opponents affect
to question his personal integrity and pu
rity of character, and to ham their emu
lations upon the evidence taken before,
and report of a Mmmittee of Congress, of
which I was chairman, known as the
Credit Mobilier Committee. Now I desire
to sarto the Convention, and to *all who
may feel any interest In my opinion of
General GARFIELD, that nothing appeared
befote that committee, or which appears
in their report, or any other matter or
thing which ever. came to my knowledge
in regard to him, ever led me to - doubt his
personal integrity. I believe bins to be a
thoroughly upright and honest man, and
one who would be so 'under all Circum
stances and against any temptation. The
use. that is being.made of my name and
of the report of the committee which was
drawn by me, in -my opinion, makes it
proper for me to express my personal
judgment as to the character of the than."

PHILADELPHIA LETTER.
PniairmurniA, June 5, 1860,
Speaking about the weather—a topic
you know, which never—(welli hardly
ever)—is tou9hed_ upon, still when the
theimometer gets up to 97 0 in the shade,
there, is something extraordinary in the
conduct of the mercury,
_.and perspiring
humanity may be allowed an exclamation
that it is "hot," and perhaps it might be
'excusable to prefix the announcement
with the' adjective which somebody ac
cused Beecher of using—though Ingersoll
says there is no hotter place than *
sometimes know, yet as he may be mis-'
taken, it is well we should• be reconciled,
even if the thermometer hasn't capacity
to record the vaulting ambition of the
mercury. Tour country readers don't
know anything about a "heated term "
'when spent amongst the bricks and mor
tar of a city. The air becomes raritled
and heated till it is like a furnace blast.
The pavements are almost 'like the' hot
plates over which the early martyrs were
required to trtad. ' "There is no vitality in
the air to be -breathed, and the nights
bring no relief. The 'unfortunate , eitizens
seek relief in the open air; arid the fami
ly clusters upon the door-stepa, orif more
fortunate, hastens to the Park to got a
breath of pure, invigorating air.. Those
, who can afford it, flee to the mountains
or to the sea-shore. The mechanic and
the working-man joins the: excursion of
his church, society- or association, and
goes on an excursion to Atlantic City or
to some of the numerous 'places so cheap
and accessible. So the torrid term is wor
ried awn,' until the cooler breezes of Sep
-tember come with their. welcome refresh-•
cuing.. Don't envy the stay-at-home in
the city during the dog-days, for his life,
is not a happy one.
,The clubs which went to Cincinnati
came home on Friday night, and their re
turn was made the occasion of a display
which was intended to show the joy co
the party in their escape from Tilden and
Randall. The prominent feature in the
'procession was Daniel Dougherty, whose
burning eloquence at Cincinnati is sup
posed.to have 'brought about the nomina
tion of Hancock. The brilliant orator
has been, deeplyimpressed with a pro
found feeling that for years ho has =not
been appreciated as ho deserved. cOnEC
quently,tie has tried all parties, will:c.f:be
same unsatisfactory result. He has struck
a political bonanza. "The cup of his satis
faction must be full. He is now the War
wick of the Democratic party. He divides
the post of honor with Randall and Mc-
Mullen. When Hancock' becomes Presi
dent his transcendent abilities and his dis
tinguished services will be recognized and
rewarded. But it will be ari awfully long
time to wait before that event occurs.
The Democrats will be united in the City
this fall, and that means repeating, bal
lot-box stuffing, and all the rascality Mc-
Mullin and his gang are capable - of doings
but the Republican party is well organiz
ed and efficient, and will do. 'good work
and rbll up the usual majority.
The army worm whose appearance cre
ated such an excitement amongst the
farmers of Delaware and Chester counties
is said to be rapidly disappearing, with
out having caused the anticipated dam
age. The birds have done their part in
extirpating the pest. The crops are now
so far advanced as o he out of danger.

ANOTHER STEAMBOAT
HORROR 1
-Fifty Lives Destroyedll_
The steamer Seawanh - aka, a v!aa
senger boat; plying between New
York, Sand's. Point and Roslyn, was
burned to the water's edge, On Mont
day afternoon, and it is believed that
about fifty li.vea were lost. It seems
that the steamer took tire at 4.30
o'clock while off Randall's Island,
East river. The fire was caused by an
explosion in the engine room, and
the mid4le of the steamboat was soon
in 'flam e p. Pilot Charles Smith re
mained at his post until he was near
ly burned to death and succeeded in
beaching'the vessel on the sunken
Meadow adjoining the ishoid.- Many
persons sprang overboard and were
drowned, many others in the stern of
the vessel could not get oft and were
burned, to death. Of several , hun
dred persons supposed to be on board
fifty are believed to have perished.
The bodies of about thirty defull per
suns were recovered. Ainong the
persons of promineace known to be
on board were Charles A. Dana,
editor of the Sun ; S. L. M. Barlow,
of the World, and . R. 11. Rochester,
of the Western Union Telegraph'
Company, all of whom , were saved.
The vessel was burned to the water's
edge and will be a total loss. The
steamer Granite State rescued thir
teen passengers and the Osseo a
large number, who were taken to
College Point. I -
A passenger who was on the burn
ing steamer says that there were ,350
passengers on board. 411 went well
until the steamer had passed Hell
Gate, when the fire alarm rang. out
and flames were discovered bursting
through the pilot-house. The officers
and crew assured the passengers that
there was no danger, and the boat
was headed for Randall's 'lsland.
She grounded on a bar 200 feet from
the shore. Those of the • passengers
unprovided with life-preservers were
saved by clinging to the guards,-pad
dles, and, other portiops of the
steamer. ,
THE POLITICAL SITUATION
The foll Owing review 'of the polit-
ical field, in connection with HAN . .
COCK'S candidacy, shows Oat* the
feelinglp at the National Capital,
state(some of the strong deficiences
which will militate against him—
and the probabilities that the Solid
South would control him if elected.
It is.a calm and reliable statement of
the situation, as given by the special
correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press: -
WASIIINGTOY, June 27. Time
enough has elapsed . since the Cincin
nati convention to, think, it over.
Republicans generally are of the
opinion that Hancock's nomination
is as strong a one as the • convention
could have made. almost everybody
else seriously talked of had a doubt
ful war record, and experience has
shown • that, no man whose position
during the Rebellion was doubtful
can be elected president. General
Hancock thus escapes one weakness
which would have attached to Bay
ardvor Seymour, or more than one
other of his rivals. But, while freely
admitting Hancock's excellent war
recor•Litepublicans believe that its
streagth IE4 fully counterbalanced by
the weakness Of his candidacy as that
of a Man absolutely without, training
in civil life. Nobody doubts . the
gratitude of the . Nation to.- its de
fenders, but this sentiment.doevnot
inure to Hancock's especial advant
age; for Garfield was no lesS gallant
a soldier. The country is going to
elect a president, and between two
soldicys it will, inquire which promi
ses to make the better Executive.
To Merely state the case is to expose
tho fatal weakness of Hancock as a
candidate against a man like Gar.
field. The one has served all his lifd
in the army and never filled a 'civil
office ; the other has for nearly twen
ry years served in the National Cdn
gress, where he has pushed his way
to the front as a man thoroughly
familiar with. the science of crovern
ment and admirably qualified for the
wider field which the presidency will
open before him. Hancock is a brave
soldier; Garfield is a brave soldier
and a trained statesman as Well.
There can hardly be much doubt as
to lhow the country will•dccide be
tween them.
Moreover, though a better man
than his party,. Hancock will inevita
bly be weakened ai ,a .candidate by
the fact that he is and must be the
representative of the. Democracy.
Untrained civil life, he must nec
essarily, if elected, - fall back upon
the leaders. of his party for counsel
at every step. However well-meaning
he may be, he must be true to the
men who supported. hiin, and nobody
can seriously question that his Ad-
Ministration,- if he should ever •be
called to frrne one, would faithfully
represent his•pparty. If he sheiuld be
elected it -would be the solid South
that would have chiefly brought it
about, and his record in the South
west during the clays of reconstruc
tion shows that he would be favora
bly disposed and that section.
Union soldiVethough be was, the
country will see that his chief sup
port comes from the ex-Confederates,
and will conclude that the ex-Con
federates are likely to rbe altogether
influential. with lim. It is this fact
which will keep from Hancock tens
of thousands of votes which he might
otherwise get. There are plenty of
Republicans all over the North who
served under Iloncock during the
war, and who would like nothing
better than an opportunity to vote
for him as a Republican candidate
for president, but when these men
reflect that the election of Hancock,
as he is now presented, means noth
ing more nor less than the installa
tion of the Democratic party, it is
safe to predict - that very_few of them
will cast their ballots for hin2.l—in
short, a review of the situation shows
no reason to expect_ that Hancock
will. draw any considerable niunber
of votes from the Republican party,
and the shrewdest Republican lead
ers here do not worry over this claim
of the Democrats.
As for the Deniocrats, they all
profess to be quite satisfied with
Hancock's- nomination. Some of
them are a &A deal troubled, how
ever, lest he may lose votes on ac
count of his connection , with the exe
cution of Airs. Sumstt. Many prom
inent Democrats like Wade Hampton
have always opposed the idea of
gancoek's candldacyon this ground.
It was : not that they believed that he
did :anything- else, than his duty,in
the . inetteei but they knew the rreJn.
•gt:l, l ,* igoThASlOreigli:N9lo
whit form so large an elementof ;the
Democratic party, and theyrilintred
that the threats which la.& _been
muttered against him ever 'shuts
might he put into execution if: he ,
should be nominated: It is of nouns
too early as yet - to'fotsi any intelli
gent opinion as to how much effect
this affair will have, but it is easy to
see that leading Democrats are woir
-ried about it. -
The general expectation is that
the campaign,_
be .a warm and
exciting one, especially ,in its earlY
stages in Maine, Ohio and Indiana.
The canvass in the Pine Tree State,
whose 'election early in Sepiember
will be the "first gun," is to be'a
very hot ore. The coalitionists were
encouraged by the defeat of Blaine
at Chicago, for they would practi
cally have given up the fight if he
had been nominated, and they will
work desperately; but the besi-in
formed. Republicans feel no _appre
hension as to the result. The' Ohio
Republican's say they will follow up
the victory in October, and their In
diana brethren will make a topefel
fight. Some credulous Democrats
talk about Hancock's l earriring Penn
sylvania, but few people who haven't
entirely lost their heads expect to
see the Keystone State giving a ma
jority 'for a,candidate on a free-trade
platform.

INSURANCE
Your house may never burn.; you must surely die. It
is wise to provide against the ehances of fire; it is neces
sary to provide against the certainty of death. A fire
policy may never becoine a claim ; the maturity of a life
policy is only a question of time; yet many a business
man seeks after the former, and seeks to avoid the latter.
He insures his stock of goods to improve his credit and,,,
and protect his creditors, yet neglects to in'sure
for the protection of pis family. He loves the 4atter
most, but business habits have taught him prudence in
the ' former case, while want of thought has made him
neglectfulln the latter.
