Haul down.-your Hancock flag' now atick up one for Cock Roberts. The Republican party gave-the- peo ple their pre-emptions and homesteads, and they did it over tho opposition of the Democratic party. Tliis is the way some ingenious cuss has it now: WoSELD s COTT SUCCEED HANCOCK. AYES. Cov. Blair, of Michigan, who has acted with the Democrats for the past eight years, has declared himself in fa vor of the Republican, nominees. The first bill introduced' for opening the public domain to settlement by the poor and landless was vetoed by- James Buelianan a Democratic-President. $224,000,000- is the amount, in round numbers, of the rebel war claims now on file and awaiting the election of "a Democratic President. O, yes, gentlemen, economy will mark Demo cratic accession. A Democratic paper that knows the nomination of Hancock to be only a gull-trap set by the Democracy to catch voters, puts the ticket at tho head of "his paper thus: For President, GEN. WLNFLELD SCOTT nAueocK, The Plattsmouth Enterprise says the Democrats have "Otoe, Cass and Ne maha slated for Democratic Senators this fall." We guess not, seriously. Nemaha will elect a Republican Sena tor by not less than 400 majority. Re member that, if you please. Republican headquarters at Wash ington are daily in receipt of most en couraging news from all over the coun try " "They are coming, father Abra ham" A letter from Fayette county, Pennsylvania, gives a sample item wherein nineteen Democrats in a body joined the Garfield club. The Cock roberts boom is getting extremely thin. . -t " .Had the Democrats got control of the government in 1884 when they de ciarS in their National convention tnatThe war was a failure, what would have been the condition of affairs to day? The union of tho States won d have been destroyed. There could not, possibly, have been a movement nore in tne interests of the rebels than that was. "Consider what Lee and Jackson would do were they alive. THESE ARE THE SAME PRINCIPLES FOR WHICH THEY FOUGHT FOR FOUR YEARS. Remember the men who poured forth their lifo blood on, Virginias soil, and do not abandon them now. Remember thatuponj'our vote depends the success of the demo cratic ticket." These are the exact words used by "Wade Hampton m his recent speech in Virginia. How would a Nebraska audience like to hear from some Hancock howler that he is upholding the doctrine which "Lee and Jackson fought for four years?" Ilampton, in the Cincinnati convention pledged the solid 138 votes of the South to Hancock, and now he is pledging Hancock to the solid South. It's a mutual admiration society and a mutual bargain and sale. If Hancock is elected Hampton, the leader of the South, will have something to say to the man to whom he delivers three fourths of his votes; and Hampton will not be slow in reminding his pro tege of the bargain. "General, I told my people that you stood upon the same principles for which they fought, and made them believe that in voting for you they were voting the way they shot, and they must not be disap pointed. They are a little suspicious of you anyway, and don't you forget it, if you go back on them they'll raise the damndest racket about your ears you ever heard." And what will poor Hancock do? what could he do? If he would do well, evil will be ever present with him. Would he honestly and faithfully enforce the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, according his acceptance letter, or would he enforce the opposite doctrine of Hampton, Jackson and Lee, for which the rebels fought four years? Let intelligent voters of the North ponder well the situation, and answer at the ballot box for the weal or woe of their country. The Democrats, not satisfied to let well enough alone have made and pub lished as true a genealogy of their can didate for President in which they show an unbroken line of decent from the old patriot of 1770. They have done this without regard to the true genealogy of tho alleged Hancock, or even anattempt to ascertain tho true history of his ancestry. This perver sity of the alleged Hancock's friends J in blindly rushing into tho papers with a lie to deceive people into the belief that their corseted hero has better blood in his veins than the average respectable mortal, has led to a close investigation of the alleged Hancock's origin, and'it is found'to be- an- incon trovertible fact that his grand-father's name was John Roberts and his grand mother a-girl in Roberts' service, who loved not wisely. The result of this illicit union was a boy, and 'Squire Roberts, his father, gave him tho name of Benjamin Franklin Hancock, edu cated him and he became a respectable school-teacher. Benjamin Franklin Hancock Roberts married a Miss Hox worth, against his fathers will, and for his obedience was cut off from his estate with $50. In due time twin boys were born to Benjamin and his wife and Winfield" Scott Hancock was one of them. Now we are-not saying nor intimating that Gen. Hancock is any worse for being the son of a bas tard, for "the Lord made us all," but it is apparent that he has no John Han cock blood in his veins but that all that fluid he can boast of is purely of the John Roberts color. Mr. Leidtke has his matter very con veniently arranged. The record of the supreme court says that the case was referred to J. R. Webster to hear testi mony and report by the 30th of August. What testimony is necessary in this case is hard to understand. The attor ney general accuses him of keeping certain fees and Mr. Leidtke admits it. It can be only a question of law. This is very nicely arranged for Leidtke. The testimony is to be concluded by the 30th of August and the state con vention is to meet September 1 ; but that scheme will never win. Lincoln Globe. It doesn't matter in the least when the state convention is held so far as Mr. Leidtke's nomination is concerned, or when his case is heard; as his repu tation as an honest man and an officer is not in the least affected by this mere "question of law." We are not advo cating Mr. Leidtke's nomination, but the "question of law" between him and the Governor, should not defeat him. Honest men and good officers differ in opinion very frequently, and to miscon strue a Nebraska law certain should not be a very serious offense. The Lincoln Globe, while it persis tently mentions that Hon. Wm. Daily is a prominent candidate for State Senator from Nemaha, doesn't say a word about Obediah B. Hewett. Now, the Globe, if it is going to run Nemaha county's politics, it must keep up some show of fair play; and we can inform that iournal that Obediah B. Hewett is a candidate as well as Mr. Daily, and it is nip and tuck between them. Daily isn't letting the grass grow under his feet, and Obediah, he has his face turned longingly toward the capitol, but Ins ponderous frame, irom our point of observation, seems to be mov ing slightly the other way. A goodly number of state papers are loud in their denunciations of the actions of Auditor Leidtke and propose to call it a steal, whether legalized or not. Lincoln Globe. What does the Globe propose to do if the court decides Leidtke's act in ac cordance with law. We should think it would apologise to the Auditor. That would be the gentlemanly thing to do. Gen. Dennis F.Burke, who command ed the Irish brigade in Hancock's old army corps, recently made a telling qoeech for Garfield and Arthur at a meeting of the Irish Republican Asso ciation, New 1 or city. The people have as good money as the world can show, and it was given them by the Republican party. There is a fellow down East running forPresidentundertheassumednameof Hancock, whose real name is Roberts. Look out for the fraud. Tho'LincoIn Globe speaking of Redi Johnic's departure very truly says: "The Herald is easily amused if it thinks that republicans did anything more than smile a smile of satisfaction over the departure of one of the most persistent office hunters in ,the party and the one with the sorest head." Grant has issued an "imperialdecree," ordering the organization of the "boys in blue," for Garfield and Arthur. Policy compels the rejected dictator to enact a part in the coming republican funeral. Sidney Telegraph. Yes Grant is mustering- the "Boys in bue," while Hancock has left them and leads the Graybacks-. The Nebraska City News comes out in defense of Oakes Ames who attempt ed the scheme of bribing members of Congress, and did bribe one a Democrat,- who with the briber was ex pelled from Congress. But the News is doing its legitimate party duties in this. A kindred feeling makes .it wondrous kind. Dixon who was assassinated by the cowardly Barksdale at Yazoo Mississ ippi was murdered because he was a candidate for the same office thatBarks dale was running for. The only way he saw to defeat Dixon was by the use of that potent Democratic argument, the shot gun. The story told by Dem ocrats that it was a personal matter is simply a lie. . -a i m Fairbrother was a member of that legislature, got drunk every day on Redick's whisky, and worked for and voted in caucus for Redick for U. S. Senator. W.A.P. All the answer we have time to give this venomous assertion and all it de serves, is to assert in return that it is a miserable lie from a lowdown, char acterless old demagogue, who is not worth the notice of honest or decent men. Mr. Thurston either is ignorant of facts, or Mr. Thurston is fond of "a plain lie, told by himself. Tho average reduction ofannual ap propriations for government since the Democrats have had both houses of Congress has been each year twenty seven millions of dollars!! That is a fact. Those figures are the truth. Nebraska City Neios. Those figures are not true. The Democratic Congress have run the government 40.000.000 in excess of C3 ' - the figures under Republican rule. Redi Johnic, tho -late Democratic ac cession says he was well satisfied with the Republican party up to March 4th 1S7G. and that he "leaves the party "be cause Tilden was not counted in. Now the question naturally arises, why he did not then leave, instead of going at once to President Hayes for the ap pointment of Judge in New Mexico, which position he received, and held for awhile, but resigned because he could not endure the rarefied atmos phere of that climate. Dogon that Mexican air, anyhow, for had it been a little more condensed Redi would still be a good Republican office holder under "that fraud, Hayes." Again we ask him to tell when, where, and why ho was mustered out of the Union army. Granger. Well we'll tell the graham exuda tion, when he sticks to tho point and tells, how, when and where that libra ry which "Zimri" inquired about, got honorably into his possession, and that organ, which the boys who used to go to school to him say he stole. Now will the said g. e. tell an anxious pub lic whether it carried them off after night or in the day time, and all about it. The people here think that library and organ business Avas equally as mean as that gold pen swindle which we exposed. We insist that the g. e. sticks to the point and one turner at a time be attended to. Kansas Pilot: Gen. Weaver has been South to look after his interests Very fortunately he was in Alabama at the time of their State election and and the General had his eyes opened by the great efforts of the Democrats there to preserve the purity of the bal lot box, free speech and free election. Listen to him: "There has not been an election worthy the name in Ala bama for years. Their voting is a farce throughout. They openly adapt every corrupt plan to solidify the different precincts for the Democratic party, nnd t.liRv invariably succeed." He de tailed the methods by which the frauds were practiced. He says the Demo crats openly boast of this infamous business, and ioke over the fact that sometimes after the stuffing, they have tn fi- un the returns after the counting. He adds, "I used to think Tilden was fairly elected, but he was not." . m National Republican: JJuell says that Hancock's profanity was of such a character as to endear him to his sol diers. This was on the first page of yesterday's Capital: On Piatt s page of the paper we find 4Aie following: "Hancock was, doubtless, a gallant gentleman, but men socially his equals do not like being called 'dammed sons of well, to speak politely, female doers. Of course, this was a term of endearment, but the men did not take to it kindly." - a National Republican: "Consider what Lee and Jackson would do if they were alive; these are the princi ples for which they fought," said Wade Hampton last week at Staunton, Vir ginia. Thus did the most liberal of the Suthern statesman commend Hancock and the Democratic platform to his Virginian hearers. No wonder thatthe World cut these sentences out when re porting the speech for Northern consumption. A Favorable Outlook for Ticket. the Garfield - Chicago Inter Ocean. Garfield will have, counting New York, Indiana, and Connecticut among the republican states, 222 electoral votes. Let him lose Indiana and Con necticut and he will still have 201. Take away Maine from the list thus depleted and he will have 194. In ad dition to these he may lose Oregon and California and still live,l5, enough to elect. f If he lose New York and carry the other states named, Garfield will have 187 electoral votes. If he lose New York, Connecticut, and Florida, and carry Virginia, he will have ISO votes. Or he may lose New York, Connecticut and Indiana and carry Virginia, Flori da and New Jersey, have still 190 votes. The democrats can only succeed by carrying all the Southern States, and New York, New Jersey and Oregon, or Connecticut. Losing New York they must carry all the Southern states, New Jersey, Indiana, Connecti cut, Maine and all the Pacific states of California, Oregon and Nevadato have 187 votes. Tho prospect is certainly not discouraging to the republicans. English, the Democratic candidate for Vice President, has been called a Shylock and an oppressor of poor men, in his role of banker and money lender. That he is such a man every one will be satisfied who gets the Inter Ocean of the 11th inst. Tho correspondent of that paper goes amongst the county records at Indianapolis and" copies and publishes a list of hundreds of fore closures, and tax titles, against his neighbors' lots and lands, runningback only a year or two. The correspondent then visits laboring men, mechanics, and small shopmen and grocers, of all parties, to ascertain the general feeling toward W. H. English, and none had' a good word for him, while many had tales of sorrow, bankruptcy and ruin to tell, caused by this relentless, heart less" and unpitying money lender. The record is incontrovertible and most damaging to the Democratic cause. The question arising at once what if Hancock should die and this grinder of the poor become President? Tho Philadelphia Times (Independ ent), in commenting on General Mc Donhld's screed, says: So far as General Grant is concerned, however, we do not see that there is a particle of evidence to sustain McDon ald's broad assertions. The whole ten or of the confession, in fact, leaves the impression that McDonald, in order to magnify the value of the wares that he has sold to the newspapers, strained every point to bring General Grant in to personal disgrace, and has been un able to accomplish that purpose. The country long ago made up its mind as to the degree to which the ex-President was responsible for tho misdoings of Babcock and his set, and that opinion will not be changed by this untimely and apparently malicious attempt to drag him into tho very depths of the infamies of which McDonald was the master spirit. A more probable result will be the awakening of sympathy for the object of the violent jmd uncalled- S or. attacks -of- a convicted felon."---'- "The right to a free ballot," says the democratic party, "is the right preser vative of all rights, and must be main tained." Let us see what democratic government has done for the free bal lot in the "solid south." In 1S72 the eleven rebellious states cast 750,000 re publican votes and 030,000 democratic votes. In the years that have passed since then there have disappeared ut terly from all record in those eleven states over 400,000 of those votes. Nearly 50 per cent, of the voters in those states have vanished into obliv ion under eight years of democratic rule. What does this mean? Does the present census show a falling off of 2,000,000 inhabitants in tliose states t Not at all. The trouble is simply that the republican vote has been suppress ed; that the shot-gun and the whip have killed the right to a free vote in every southern state in the Union. And the "solid south" is the democrat ic party. Omaha Republican. The News, having "nothing tangible" to say against General Garheld, per sists in repeating the old exploded lies that were started soon after the nom inations were made, and which have been contradicted by the testimony of the Nation. Democratic statesmen who have been intimately acquainted with General Garfield for twenty years, testify to his purity, and yet this man Reed, the baldheaded editor of a mon grel sheet, whose own moral character is far from spotless, goes on reitera ting lies in spite of tho testimony of men of brains in the party to which .he and men of his stamp area disgrace. Falls City Journal. We have an editor, an-exacG copy (morally) of the falls City editor in this city, excepting Moore is not bald-head ed, but a bigger liar than any bald headed editor Falls City can scare up. A Kentucky Democrat thinks the Credit Mobilier charge small ammuni tion, oven if true. He says: "But it does not become our Demo cratic friends to make too great a stir in such matters. It is notorious that in ante bellumtvaxQS many of their lead ingStephen A. Douglas, John C. Breckinridge and Jesse D.

Grand Utterances. Comrades, and Boys In Bine, and Fellow Citizens of New York: I cannot look upon this great assem blage and these old veterans that have marched past us, and listen to the wel come from our comrade who has just spoken, without remembering how great a thing it is to live in tins union and be part of it. (Applause). This is New York, and yonder, towards the Battery, more than a hundred years ago, a young student of Columbia College was arguiug the ideas of the American revolution and American union against ah American loyalty to the monarchy of: his college president and professors. Bv and by he went to the patriot army, was placed on the staff of Wasington to fight the battles or his country (cheers) and while in camp, before he was 21 years old, upon a drum head he wrote a letter which contained every germ of the Constitution of tho United States. (Applause.) That student, soldier, statesmen, and great leader of thought, Alexander Hamilton, of New York, made this republic glorious by his thinking, and lef this lasting impres: sion upon New York, the foremost , state in the Union (applause) and here on this island, the scene of his early triumphs, Ave go there to-night, soldiers nf a new war representing the same ideas of union and glory, and adding to the column of the monumentthat Ham ilton and Washington and the heroes of the revolution reared. Gentlemen, ideas outlive all things, and those who fought in the Avar fortho Union fought for immortal ideas, and by their might vou crowned our Avar with victory. But victory Avas Avorth nothing, except for the fruits that Avcro under it, and above it. We ought to-night as vete rans and comrades to stand sacred guards around the truths for Avhicli Ave fought (long and prolonged cheering), and Avhile Ave have life to meet and grasp the hand of a comrade, Ave will stand by tho great truths of the Avar. ("Good ! Good !" and loud cheers.) And, comrades, among the recollections of that Avar which have sunk deep in our hearts there are some avo never can for get. Think of the great elevating spirit of tho war itself. We gathered boys from all our farms, and shops, and schools and homes from all over the republic; that they Avent forth un known to fame, but returned enrolled on the roster of imortal heroes. They went in the spirit of those soldiers of Henry Agincourt, of Avhom it is said : "Who this day sheds his blood Avith me, to dayshall be my brother. Were he ne'er so vile, this day shall gentle his condition." And it did gentle the condition and elevate the heart of every working soldier who fought in it. (Applause.) And he shall bo our broth er forever more, and Ave shall remem ber our allies avIio fought Avith us. Soon after the great struggle began we looked behind tho army of Avhite rebels and saAV 4,000,000 of black people condemned to toil as slaves for our enemies, and Ave found that the hearts of these 4,000,000 Avere God-inspired Avith the spirit of liberty, and that they Avere our friends. (Applause) We" have seen Avhite men betray the flag and fight to kill the Union, but in all that long and dreary war Ave never saAV a traitor in a black skin. (Great cheers.) Our prisoners escaping from the starvation of prisons, fleeing to our lines by the light of the north star, never feared to enter a black man's cabin and ask for bread. "Good, good. That's so." In all that period of suf fering an(i dancer no Union soldier Avas over betrayed by a black" man or Avoman. (Applause.) And now that Ave have made them free so long as Ave live Avill stand by the black citizens. (ReneAved applause.) We Avill stand by them until the sun of liberty fixed in the firmament of our constitution shall shine AA'ith equal rays upon every Avan, black or white, through the Un ion. Noa', felloAV citizens, fellow soldiers, in all this there is the beneficence of eternal justice, and by this Ave will stand forever. (Great applause.) The great poet has said that in individual life Ave rise "on the stepping stones of our dead selves to higher things," and the repub lic rises on the glorious achievements of its dead and living heroes to higher and nobler national life. We must stand guard o'er our past as soldiers as patriots, and over our country as the common heritage of us all. I thank you, fellow-citizens, for this magnificent demonstration. In so far as 1 represent in my heart and life the great doctrines for which you fought, I accept this demonstra tion as a tribute to my representative oficharacter. (Applause.) Inthestrength your hands, in the fervor of your hearts, in the firmness of your faith, in all that betokens the greatness of manhood and the nobleness of character, the republic finds its security and glory. I do not enter upon controverted questions. The time, place, the situa tion forbid it. I respect the traditions that require me to speak only of those themes which elevate us all. Again I thank you fortho kindness and enthu siasm of your greeting. Gen. N. P. Banks, the Massachusetts statesman, Avas in Chicago the other day, and being intervieAved by a Jour nal reporter as to tne presiueniiai chances in the east, said: Oh, it will all be one way. We will carry Maine both in September .and November sure. Connecticut Avill go for Garfield certain. So Avill NeAV York and NeAV Jersey So will every eastern State rest assured of that. Hancock is a weak candidate, and his party is just beginning to find it out. They are always blundering, and Han cock's nomination Avill be found to have been next to Greeley's their Avorst blunder of all. The people of the north will not give the reins of power into the hands of the party of the south, by supporting a mere figure head in epaulettes. "Whatever they may think of Hancock as a man or a soldier, they connot support him as the candidate, of the southern politic ians avIio forced him upon the Cincin nati convention. We need a states man now, and Hancock hasn't the first nualifications of statesmanship, but Garfield has all the essential qualifica tions of a great statesman, and a great man. The people believe this, and will make Garfield their next president, you may rest assured of that. Wherever the Republicans are hope ful to Ifcive a fair election there they are hopeful of A'ictory; and the Demo crats, whenever they have no hope of carrying the election by fraud or force, there they have no hope of carrying it at all. Hancock's success depends sole ly upon rascality. The Republicans submit their cause to the intelligence of the American people and ask only for a free ballot and a fair count.

Specfal Telegram to the Inter Ocean. Washington, Aug. 11. To-day Gen eral Raum, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, received a letter from an Al abama Republican, Avho AA'as in Hunts ville on election day. The Avriter says: "I Avas at Iluntsville on the day of election. The polling places Avere opened at 7 o'clock, according to law. Shortly after the polls Avere open I heard a brass band strike up a lively tune, and, looking out of the window, saw a number of colored men in line marching to the polls, headed by the band and under control of friends of the Democrats. After this came a similar number of colored voters Avho intended voting for the Re publican combination ticket, shouting for Harrison, the Republican candidate for Probate .lunge, and Avhen fairly up to the voting place an attack Avasmade on them by a young white man and Democratnanied Tom Sproggins, avIio, encouraged by the mob spirit of his friends, succeeded in dispersing for a time the friends of Harrison, in the meantime knocking down with a cane and severely wounding one of the col ored men, and striking several others. This unprovoked attack had tho de sired effect of intimidating some of the men intending to vote. After they Avere dispersed in this manner it is un knoAvn how they A'oted, unless the large Democratic majority at Hunts ville tends to explain the matter." The writer continues at considerable length, giving other instances of vio lence and intimidation, .and shoAving the true inwardness of the so-called election. Blown to Atoms. Denver, August 14. The Times special from Como gives a brief ac count of the accident Avhich occurred at Red Hill, a small station on the South Park road. Last night, about 12 o'clock, a fire broke out in tho depot and caused the explosion of about 1,000 pounds of powder, Avhich blew the de pot and every building in the place to atoms. Agent F. E. Collyer Avas badly injured by burning and cuts, and is not expected to live. His assistant, Chas. Hilton, Avas killed and others Avere badly injured. Further particulars of the explosion at Red Hill, last night, are to the ef- Lfect that Frank E. Collver. agent, T..T. Conway, assistant agent, and Charles Glenn, a freighter, Avere sitting in the depot aAvaiting the down train when the explosion occurred. When the F airplay coach reached the scene of disaster soon after, the passengers found Charles Hilton, an employe, fear fully mangled, not a stitch of clothing save one sock being found on him. Collyer Avas severely wounded about the head, and it is feared his skull is broken. Conway Avas internally in jured, but not fatally. A. Henan Avas wounded about the body, not seriously. His coat was split from the neck down. The ground on Avhich the depot, freight house, saloon and forwarding house stood is iioav bare; tho buildings Avere bloAvn into splinters from the size of a toothpick to that of oflice kindling Avood. Not one stick on another re mains of five buildings. It is said that five cases of guu-powder Avere in the freight house, but this is a mere ru mor, and there is some mystery about the affair. Agent Collyer, who has re covered consciousness, says there Avas no powder about the place. The Avounded Avere removed to Fairplay.

Years ago, when it was necessary to raise money to pay the interest on the Avar debt incurred by the democratic rebellion, coal oil Avas taxed for reven ue. It Avas very high tax. Coal oil, unlike Avhisky and tobacco, Avas an in dispensable article, and the tax Avas a burden to the poor and people of mod erate means. General Garfield intro duced into congress and had passed a bill reducing this tax to a nominal sum. This, as General Garfield expect ed and intended, was a great relief to the mass of our population. It hap pened also to operate in favor of the princely merchants and speculators in oil of Pennsylvania and New York, Avho had literally their "millions in it, by lessening the amount of capital re quired to handle oil, and allowing a better per cent of profit. It Avas a very small matter for these dealers to make up a purse of SiO.000 as a pres ent to Gen. Garfield, which they did, and asked him to accept it. The gen eral replied that he could not accept the gift; he had done simply Avhat lie thought AA'as his duty to consumers of oil, with no thought of reference to them or their interests. If, incidental ly, the fact Avas a benefit to them ho was gratified, but he had no claim on them. Permission was'then asked to present the purse to Mrs. Garfield, and this Avas declined. Burlington llawkexje: The Demo crats seem to be for soft money in Maine and Indiana, for hard money in New York, and for "all the money there is in the treasury" in the South.
