THE ADVERTISER
THURSDAY, AUGUST 5, 1880.
NATIONAL EEPUBLIOAff TICKET.
For President of the United Slates.
JAMES A. GA&TZESJK
of Ohio.
For VJee President of the United States.
CHESTER A- ARTHUR,
of New York.
Hancock should drop the blue and
adopt the gray. Jno. W. Forney.
It is said by army officers that Han
cock TEill not resign unless he is elect
ed. "A bird in hand is worth two in
the bush."
"3aud S." is the name of the boss
little mare, now. She trots her mile
in2:r3 easy. Her owners say she
will show 2:10 one of these days.
There never Before was such, unani
mity among the intelligent Germans of
the republic for any presidential can
didate as there is now for Garfield.
The only thing about Hancock that
"draws" is hiiv namebufe the ignoram
uses will learn that it is not the brave
old John Hancock of "big fist" notor
iety. There is a gratifying lack of' accord
among the bourbons of Virginia.
"When thieves fttft out honest men are
likely to get their dues or words to
that effect
Hon. Alex. Ferguson, a leading Dem
ocrac or Cincinnati, lias recently re
nounced Hancock as not the man who
ought to be-ehjcted, and" comes square
ly out for Garfield and Arthur.
SecVSchurz arrived m San Francis
co on the 27th ult. He was met at
Benecia by the Republican central
committee and,the jGerman societies,
who escorted him to the city. He was
serenaded in the evenng.
The democratic party passed" a law
by which Hayes w.iscounted:in. Han
cock says he would have rebelled
against that law-had Tilden issued him
an order to do so. Had he done so he
would have been as much of a traitor
as Jeff. Davis.
John "W. Forney, now a. supporter of
Hancock because as he says he was
born in Pennaylvania, in an editorial
regarding Hancock's diistardly rule in
Gulf States, said: "Hancock's admin
istrafcjon was worse than the epidemic
of yellow fever."
The Democratic bulldozers of the
South ire plying their damnable perse
cutions constantly. Recently near At
lanta a party of disguised white men
"visiEetTtbe Tiouse of a colored man
named Thompson, beat him and his
wife most cruelly and. closed the Dem
ocratic matinee by fatally shooting
Thompson's son. and daughter.
Gen. Hancock in his letter evades
and ignores the two great questions of
finance and tariff. Gen. Garfield de
fines Tits ositibn clearly on these and
all other questions of great import to
the country, but Hancock, true to the
demagoguery of the party he repre
sents, too QQwarjtlly to.spealfcout like a
man, is evasive and ambiguous.
$234,000,000 rebel claims are all
that's filed as yet, but what would they
be with no vetoing power to meet
them. These figures do not include
the rebel war debt, nor pay for slaves,
nor pensions for rebel soldiers. The
northern States pay more than two-
thirds of the taxes of the nation, and
would Hove that proportion of the-reb-el
debts to pay in case of. Democratic
supremacy. How would the Xorth
and "West like to have another war
debt loaded upon their shoulders larger
than the original" one Fncurred to save
the Union from dismemberment by
the Democratic party?
"When such men as Horn Philo. A.
Orton, hitherto a prominent and influ
ential Democrat of Darlington "Wis
consin, comes into print over his own
signature and declares he dare not
longer trust the present political organ
ization; called the Democratic party,
and pledges for Garfield and Union,
that means something.. Among many
other strong and true utterances he
makes, he says: "Whatever the Dem
ocratic party may have been in the
past, it is, essentially and absolutely,
the party of theSouth to-day." Again :
"The record of the Democratic party
in congress for the last four years has
justly excited the fear of all northern
men and well wishers of the Union ev
erywhere." These are truths the peo
ple must not, and will not overloofr.
Some of the Democrats appear to be
wonderfully offended when called
rebels. But that is what they were, at
heart. Some of them Trere not actual
rebels because too cowardly to take a
musket and go to the front, but every
mother's son of them sympathized with
those who did go, and rejoiced over ev
ery disaster to the Union cause. If
not real rebels they Tttese all disuiiion
ists. They bear this infamous brand
and eannofc wipe it out. It sticks to
the old Democrats of '64 the McClell
an Democrats like the hierogliphics
seared into the skin on the rump of a
Texas steer. They then in the midst
of the rebellion declared the war for
the Union a failure, and demanded an
"immediate cessation of "hostilities." It
was the Democratic party that made
this declaration in their platform, and
it "was a disunion or rebel platform, the
terms being properly interchangeable,
for a cessation of hostilities at that
time meant a dissolution of the Union
an the rebels were ngauug jui.
Ex-Gov. Furnas a Senatorial Candidate.
Another candidate comes to the
front for the office of U. S. Senator.
This time it is ex-Governor K.SV. Fur
nas, and of course Furnas will be elec
ted. He has formed a combination
with the Hon. Cnurch Howe, whereby
Furnas is to re-elect Howe to the sen
ate, and in return for this Howe is to
elect Furnas to the U. S. Senate. As
usual, Mr. Howe proposes to have his
office first. He takes his pay in ad
vance. Governor Furnas may be sim
ple enough to think that Howe will
fulfill his part of this contract, but he
is about the only man in Nebraska who
would believe anything of the kind.
Lincoln Qlobe.
Mr. Eaton, or Mr. McBride, or both,
or somebody, seems to be in a bad fix
about that "combination." The Qlobe
man has been eating cabbage and cu
cumbers and has had a bad dream, that
is distressing to him. Gentlemen of
the Qlobe, you are off your nuts, and
appear as ridiculous as do people who
utterly ignore the maxims of Col. Davy
Crocket. There is no such combina
tion or bargain as you speak so posi
tively about. -Gov. Furnas favors Mr.
Howe for State Senator as between
him and some other party that might
be named, and he may have said as
much, and that's all there is of that
terrible combination.
The Democratic netvspapers are just
now very busy endeavoring to create
the impression that numbers of, and
prominent Republicans, are leaving
the party and going over to Hancock.
There has never been a Presidential
election,, or campaign, during which
there were not more or less changing
from one side to the other of certain
characters viz: the sore-heads "and: po
litically unbalanced heads. Let indi
viduals in eachi community where
these changes occur, see who the
men are. In this particular locality,
we find Tipton, Polock and g. e. the
editor of what has been an "Independ
ent" newspaper, (really rebel in dis
guise all the while.) "WeneecTnot par
ticularize, all know how much Repub
lican they have ever been. Their ob
ject is to be where teats and loaves
are to be found.
The Omaha Herald talks in this
wise, when reporting "recruits. coming
over to the Hancock standard." "Be
sides tJie reported adhesion of Hamil
ton Fish jr., of Xew York" etc. Cer
tainly, "Reported adhesion!" "If tliis
is true" says- the Herald, "it tells a
story for pivotal Xew York." Yes:
"if this is true?" But it is not, and
the Herald knows it. This is simply
a deceptive manner of putting
a straight lie before the public noth
ing more nothing less.
The Democrat has developed into a
regular Church Howe, organ. It re
counts with great gusto that redoubta
ble chieftain's exploits in behalf the
old woman in corsets-7tee Hancock.
Howe is forever getting his name be
fore the public in some manner. In
this instance some cripple, old man, or
other decrepit person was attacked by
the valiant Howe and almost trouueed
to death for insinuating against Han
cock's loyalty. Better send Knight
Howe around to the Globe office. Lin
coln Qlobe.
It seejns that the Qlobe believed that
idiotic fabrication started by the Grang
er, which disgusted Mr. Howe as much
as it did anybody, because it was a lie
made out of whole cloth. Mr. Howe
has been a witness to Gen. Hancock's
bravely and efficiency as a soldier, and
that is all. He condemns his political
record in every sense, as will be veri
fied when he takes the stump for Gar
field. The time has-come to enjoy the sub
stantial benefits of reconciliation.
Hancock's Letter.
It has, if two-thirds of the citizens
of the United States; can be "reconcil
ed" to surrender their various consti
tutional and lawful rights of fran
chise and citizenship, to the one-third.
Gen. Hancock is confidently expecting
the Southern States to give him the'r
138 electoral' votes; solid; and he knows
it is utterly impossible for him to ob
tain this vote by fair and honest vot
ing; yet- he demagogue like, talks about
reconciliation.
m a
Omaha Republican: The indepen
dent people's labor committee of the
United States in session at Sharon, Pa.,
has indorsed the nomination of Gar
field and Arthur for president and vice
president. Gen. Hancock referred
them to Mr. Barnum in an aristocratic
way, and the result is fitting. The la
boring men of the country can have
nothing in common with the corseted,
aristocrat army officer who looks down
upon them.
m
"When General Hancock was asked
for his opinions on "the labor question,"
by a delegation of workingmen, he po
litely declined a response, but gave
them a letter of introduction to Chair
man Barnum. The General has heard
from the workingmen at Pittsburg en
answer that he can understand. Dig
nity is a good thing, but a fellow can
even be too all-fired dignifiedf or health.

"We learn that the Hon. Church
Howe is a Republican candidate for
the legislature in Xeraaha county. For
the interests of the Republican party of
the State, it is to be hoped that Mr.
Howe will receive the nomination and
the election. Omaha Republican.
The little pool of local politics at
Seward seems to be somewhat "rily"
just now, and the Reporter is amusing
itself by stoning the toads that disport
themselves in its waters under the de
lusion that they are fish.
It is a party of miserable dishonest
creatures that depends; solely on force,
fraud, lying, swindling-and every dis
honorable resort, for success, as does
the Democratic party in this.campaign.

TED AGAIN.
Eational Laborers' Convention.
PiTTSBUKG, Pa, July 20. The in
dependent peoples' labor convention
assembled in Sharon yesterday for the
purpose of selecting candidates for
president and vice president of the
United States. W.H. Taylor, chair
man of the national committee, called
the convention to order. After brief
addresses the election of permanent of
ficers was held resulting m the selec
tion for chairman of B. Smith, "Va;
secretary, John L. James, Pa. The
chairman appointed J. R. Rogers, of
Indiana, N. Venhanny, Connecticut,
R. Sullivan, Iowa, committee on per
manent organization. On motion Jones,
Xew York, the convention went into
nomination. Mr. Taylor, of Cleveland
presented the name of Senator James
A. Garfield, seconded by Perkins of
Ohio. Mr. Jones, of Xew York, pre
sented General Hancock, seconded by
Johnson, of Iowa. Linden, of Maine,
presented General Weaver, seconded by
Spaulding, of "West Virginia. The bal
lot was as follows: Colorado, Garfield
8, Hancock 7 ; Connecticut, "Weaver 5,
Garfield 10; Virginia, Hancock 15;
Illinois, Garfield 13, "Weaver 2; India-
na, Garfield l.r : Iowa, Hancock 2, Gar

cock 1, "Weaver 2; Maryland, Hancock

ver 3; "West Virginia, Hancock 10,
Garfield 5; New York, Garfield 10,
Hancock 5; Ohio, Garfield 15. Total
vote cast 225. Garfield received 25 of
a majority over all nominations. The
nomination was made unanimous.
Gen. Arthur was nominated for vice
president by acclamation, after which
the convention adjourned amid great
enthusiasm.
The thirteenth, fourteenth, and
fifteenth amendments- to the Constitu
tion of the United States, embodying
the results of the war for the Union,
are inviolable. Hancock's Letter.
"Well, who but Democrats have said
they were violable.
The fifteenth amendment gave the
negro the right to vote.
"What is the "White Leagne for in the
South the bulldozer thetissue bal
lot? Is not the nullifiaafcfon of the fif
teenth amendment their sole business.
Gen. Hancock must disband hs
white league now or be accounted as
insincere; he must send home his bull
dozer, and tell his ballot box stuffer
that his occupation is gone, for the
amendments "are inviolable."
Gen. Hancock says by this that the
negro is a citizen, has a right to vote,
must be allowed to vote as he pleases
and to have his vote honestly counted,
because the fifteenth amendment which
is "inviolable" gives him this right.
What does the South think about
the violability of these emendments?
Every intelligent man knows well the
answer. "What are the Southern Dem
ocratic newspapers now doing about
those amendments?
Are they echoing the words of their
Northern leader? --
No, indeed. The soul and spirit of
the Southern press are bent upon vio
lating the fifteenth amendment.
If they were held inviolable where
would Hancock get any votes, to
speak of?
Is Haneock honest in his flat-footed
declaration. We wish he were, but
cannot believe he is. Why?
Well, there are two substantial rea
sons: First, he is ambitious to be
President, and knows he cannot be
elected by a free and fair election, in
sccord with the constitution.
Second, in 1SGS he- indorsed Seymour
and Blair, and in so doing indorsed the
treason uttered by Blair in his Broad
head letter, written before his nomina
tion, and was intended, as he so ex
pressed, a bid for the place given him
on the Democratic ticket. That letter,
in strong plain words and sentences, ad
vocated the overthrow, by force, of the
three amendments named nowby Han
cock as inviolable. Hancock immedi
ately after the nomination of Seymour
and Blair, in a letter to Glover of St.
Louis, in the most positive language
indorsed those nominees and the action
of the convention, thus swallowing
Blair with his abnoxious letter, and
the platform which denounced the three
amendments as "unconstitutional, null
and void." Every intelligent man who
voted for Blair, must have had a pre
ponderance of treasonable principles.
Twelve years ago Blair, Hancock,
the Democratic, party believed the
President ought to assume supreme
power and a dictatorship over the peo
ple's representatives in the Senate and
Congress, take the army and at the
point of the bayonet overthrow those
"inviolable amendments" and the laws
enacted for their enforcement.
Has Hancock been converted since,
to the constitution ?
Is it not entering upon most danger
ous ground to trust a man with such a
record?
What did Le want to speak of those
amendments for? unless he thought
the people might doubt his loyalty to
thim. Loyal candidates for President
do not go upon the housetop to call at
tention to their loj-alty. Gen. Garfield
did not think of formally declaring the
amendments inviolable. He had no
need to do so. He had a record behind
him which the people had read and he
knew that in the minds of the people
he was loyal to the constitution in all
its parts. Hancock uttered that sen
tence for thespecial attention of confi
dencing Northern people out of their
votes:
And Still They Gome.
The decent and temporate democrats
all over the country are every day
coming over to the support of Gen.
Garfield. The last name which come
to our ears is that of Hon. Alexander
Ferguson, of CincinnatL Mr. Fergu
son is a democrat of the ultra stripe
and one of the ablest lawyers of Ohio.
He was the main man in securing the
Cincinnati Southern railroad. He serv

ture and says that he is eminently
qualified, while heis satisfied that Han
cock is not the man for the- place,

Hancock'8 Letter.
New York, July 80. The following
is General Hancock's letter of accep
tance: Governor's Island, New York
City, July 29, 1880. Gentlemen; I
have the honor to acknowledge the re
ceipt of your letter of July 13, 1880,
apprising me formally of my nomina
tion to the ofhee of President of the
United States, by the National Demo
cratic Convention, lately assembled in
Cincinnati. I accept the nomination
with a grateful appreciation of the
confidence reposed in me. ?
The principles enunciated by the
convention are those I have cherished
in the past, and shall endeavor to
maintain in the future. The thirteenth,
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
to the constitution of the United
States, embodying the results of the
war for the Union, are inviolable.
If called to the Presidency, I should
deem it my duty to resist with all my
power any attempt to impair or evade
the full force and effect of the constitu
tion, which in every article, section
and amendment is the supreme law of
our land.
The constitution forms the bases of
the Government of the United States;
the power granted by it to the legisla
tive, executive and judicial depart
ments define and bind the authority of
the general government. Powers not
delegated to the United States by the
constitution, nor prohibited by it to
the States, belong to the States respec
tively or to the people. The general
and State governments, each acting in
its own sphere, without trenching up
on the lawful jurisdiction of the other,
constitute the union. This Union, com
prising a general government, with
general powers and State government,
with State powers for the purposes lo
cal to States, is a polity, the founda
tions of which were laid in the pro
foundest wisdom. This is the Union
our fathers made, and which has been
so respected abroad and so beneficent
at home. Tried by blood and fire, it
stands to-day a model form of a free
and popular government, a pol-cical
system of which, rightly adminisleied,
has been and will continue to be the
admiration of the world. May we not
say nearly in the words of Washington,
"The unity of Government which con
stitutes us one people, is justly dear to
us." It is the main pillar in the edifice
of our real independence, the support
of our peace, safety and prosperity, and
of that liberty we so highly prize, and
intend at every hazard to preserve.
But no form of government however
carefully devsed, no principles how
ever sound, will protect the rights of
the people unless the administration
is a vital principle in our system that
neither fraud nor force must be allow
ed to subvert the rights of the people.
When fraud, v'o'ence or incompetence
controls, the noblest constitution and
w'sest laws a-e useless. The boyonet
is not a fit instrument for collecting the
votes of free men; it is only by a full
vote, free ballot and fair count that the
people can rule, in fact, is required by
the theory of our government. Take
this foundation away and the whole
structure falls. A public officer is a
trust, not a bounty bestowed on the
holder. No incompetent or dishonest
persons should ever be entrusted with
it, or if appointed they should prompt
ly be rejected. Our national interests,
varied and progressive, demand our
conscant and united efforts, a sedulous
ca"e of public credit, together with a
wse and economical management of
-our governmental expenditures should.
bo maintained,. in nnlectiinc-Jabor may
be lightly burdened, and that all per
sons may be protected in their rights
to the fruits of their own industry.
The time has come to enjoy the sub
stantial benefits of reconciliation. As
one people, we have common interests.
Let us enebnrage friendly and generous
rivalry among our industries, which
will revive our languishing merchant
marine, extend our commerce with
foreign nations, assist our merchants,
manufacturers and producers to de
velop our vast national resources, and
increase the prosperity and happiness
of our people.
If elected, I shall with divine favor,
labor with what ability I possess to
discharge my duties with fidelity ac
cording to my convictions, and shall
take care to protect and defend the
Union, and tosee that the laws be faith
fully and equally executed in all parts
of the country alike. I will assume
the responsibility fully sensible of the
fact that to administer rightly the func
tions of the government is to discharge
the most sacred duty that can devolve
upon an American citizen. I am very
respectfully yous, W. S. Hancock.
To Hon. J. W. Stevenson, President of
Convention; Hon. John P. Stockton,
Chairman, and others of the Commit
tee of the National Democratic Con
vention. THEBALAKOE STBUOE.

WAsniNGTON, July 26. The exports
over imports for the twelve months
ended June 30, was Si 07,1)08,359.
During the year just closed, both the
value of imports of merchandise into
and the value of exports merchandise
from the United States, were larger
than during any preceding year in tfie
history of the country. The value of
exports of merchandise for year ended
June 30, 18S0, exceeds the value of ex
ports of merchandise during the pre
ceding year about $123,000,000 or 18
per cent, and the value of impoits mer
chandise during the year ended June
30, 18S0, exceeded the value of such
imports aunng tne preceding year
about S222,000,000, or 50 per cent.
The increase in the value of imports of
merchandise exceeded the increase in
the value of expoits nearly $97,000,000.
The value of imports and exports of
merchandise during the fiscal year
just closed exceeded the value of such
imports and exports during the preced
ing year about 8347,000,000 an in
crease of thirty per cent. The rapid
growth of theforeign commerce of the
country is strikingly exhibited by the
fact that the value of imports and ex
ports of merchandise during the fiscal
year just closed amounted to Sl.503,
679,489, being about 81 per cent greater
than the value of imports and exports
of 1870, and nearly 119 per cent greater
than the value ot imports and exports
of 1860. The exports of co-u and bul
lion during the year ended June 30,
18S0,were about $7,800,000 less than
during the preceding fiscal year; and the
importsofcoin and bullion during the

Bona Medical Colleges and Bogus Diplo
roar. Dr. Crane of this city requests us to
publish the following; and we do so
believing that the exposition of quacks
with bogus diplomas procured at $5.00
a piece at bogus colleges, cannot be too
extensive:
Philadelphia, June 9. Proceed
ings have been begun to wipe out five
bogus medical colleges here. John
Buchanan, dean of the American uni--versity
or Pennsylvania and Eclectic
"Medical college of Philadelphia has
been arrested. He was also president
of the National Eclectic Medical asso
ciation, which issued diplomas, and
under alias of Jas. Murry, D. D., he
also acted as dean of Livingston Uni
versity of America. Chas. S. Po'k and
Jno. J . Siggins, members of the faculty,
were also arrested. S;x others of the
faculty are still at large. The person
urging the prosecutions says that for
$ir0 he obtained five degrees two of
medicine, one doctor of divinity, one
doctor of laws and one doctor of civil
law. Haifa ton of diplomas with a
massof correspondence has been seized.
The latter shows the sale of about 3,
000 sheepskins.
PiULADELniiA, Pa., July 16. Elev
en thousand of "Dr. Buchanan's" bogus
diplomas are current throughout the
world. A list of those d-plomas which
were not ante-dated will be published,
with directions for applying twenty
one different methods of detectiug ante
dated diplomas and establishing their
fraudulent character. The doings of
theNah'onalEclectic Medical Associa
tion, which under Buchanan's manage
ment, sold diplomas, for five dollars
will also be laid bare.
The followihg is an editorial in a
late number of the St. Joe Qazelte:
The world is waking up gradually
from its old ideas, and beginning to re
alize that among the most efficient ser
vants it has are newspaper reporters.
Not a long while ago, an energetic re
porter (all are energetic that are not
failures) of Philadelphia attended a
certain medical university for the space
twenty-five hours. In that time, being
a shrewd fellow, (all are shrewd that
are not failures) he took the whole
course, submitted a thesis, paid $100
and got a diploma. He published the
course, the thesis and diploma the day
after he matriculated. Immead'ately
Puck and the other solemn authorities
began to look into the matter. Day be
fore yesterday it was ascertained that
"Dr. Buchanan" had 11,000 such d'olc
mas scattered over the world. The
investigators will publish the names
of as many of these licensed murder
ers as possible. By fair calculation, it
will be seen that one reporter has led
to the detection of 11,000 murderers
and saved, beyond a doubt, several
million lives I
The bogus diploma business would
meet with speedy dis;ister if the legis
latures of States would incorporate a
clause in their penal codes indicting
heavy penalty upon any man, or wo
man, attempting to practice medicine
under authority of these fraudulent
diplomas. Set down upon the bearers
of them is ttie way to do k. Make the
possession of a bogus diploma as dan
gerous as if it were a bogus bank note
and the illegitimate colleges would
soon die for want of customers.
