not often says the richmond state thai we meet in any country with men greater than their party they do not make thoir appearance every day but come at widely separ ated periods and make their presence rather felt than seen in england and germany we see instances at this time of two or three of these meteor men who make their age historic iu this country we have felt the pres ence of at least two and their great influence upon their time there are a plenty of men who are better than their age or their party but those who are greater than both are i'vw and far between that tilden is one of these phenomenal men we think is now readily acknowledged by all who have felt the influence of the subtle power he has wielded over the party during the past few years and which so far from losing force has only gained additional weight by his with drawal from the actual leadership ii this respect he is as much greater than grant that other man in this fair land who stood greater than his party as intellectual and moral pow er is greater than the force of destiny and the mere instincts of brute force it is bra'iis against brawn — ral news dining with mr tilden new york june 30

are very free to say they don't think any man should be nomi nated for president who has not had experience in civil administration this is a kind of a second thought that has come to them since 1868

more general satisfaction to the whole country than we remember to have notice in regard to any previous selec tion nf president and vice-president . being both northern men and union or war democrats iheir nomination kills the sectional cry and buries for ever the notorious bloody-shirt is sue which have been relied on by the opponents of the democratic party in even campaign since the close of the late war between the states of course there are some individual democrats who were disappointed at the nomination of hancock because | they expected and desired the selec tion of another gentleman but they : will give the nominee as warm a sup ' port as they would had their iavorite been nominated in common with ma j ny good democrats in this section and i elsewhere we thought now was the i time to take up a good civilian states ; man and elect him but it may be lhat the lies course has been adopted and i one that will result in the certain suc | cess of the national democratic party we congratulate all good people on i the present condition of affairs and the \ prospect that all sectional strife is to i be eliminate from the politieal can \ vass of 1880 the democrats of the south were ! once willing to take the notorious an ti-southern horace greely as the j president of these united states for | the sake of harmony and promoting j prosperity but the radicals of the ! north rejected their old sectional champion simply because the south i endorsed him it remains to be seen i whether they the northern radicals political points j , xo electoral com mission this time put us down as predicting not less than 2g1 votes for hancock and eng lish iu the electoral college the fi ures may go above but not below this it requires 185 to elect ; gar field and arthur will be buried no returning boards or electoral com missions will have a part in deciding the next election the people will do the electing and they will do it so i well for gen hancock that garfield will wonder

chicago times ! find i j don't like the cot of his clothes ; major-general hancock is the per '' sonification and quintessence ol mill j tary foppery he is the delight of j the ladies and the excruciating inimi ! i table model of ambitious beaux the j american people will never elect such la military exquisite over the robust j manly volunteer soldier and exper i ienced statesman james a garfield i ; — philadelphia journal rep miscarried general grant's letter of congratu lation to general garfield is so long on its way that we fear the ex-presi dent forgot to stamp it — new york star no speeches to make it docs not matter that general hancock is not a speech maker he has nothing to explain — philadelphia j record i i i i can defeat a federal gsneral and a union-war democrat simply because he is acceptable to the southern de mocracy no matter who is pleased or dis pleased the southern states will give a solid vote for hancock and english and if northern democrats will do their duty and carry a few northern state gen vv s hancock will be the next president of the united states let the democrats of the northern states now prove by their works that they are in earnest and have been acting in good faith to wards the south — char democrat what they think of us — we never really believed until yesterday that any intelligent people at the north believed in southern outrages except for campaign purposes a young gentleman of providence r i had wished to attend judge strong's law school and had written to the judge to inquire about terms q iii reply to judge strong's unswer he writes : i would be happy to avail myself of the advantages which your school offers and if the matter rested entire ly with me would certainly do so but i must defer to the wishes of my friends neither mr b nor myself have been able to prevail upon them to consent to my going south on ac count of the generally disturbed state of society which they in common with . many of the northern people believe exists there it is a matter of wonder with some of the newspapers whether general hancock will resign his army com mission before election as mcclellan did it is possible general hancock may follow the more recent pre cedent established by general grant and hold on to his commission until within a few hours of his inaugura tion raleigh observer a letter has been received by the governor

it and its teachings general hancock an nounces that he will make the law the rule of his conduct that he will uphold the courts and other civil au thorities in the performance of their proper duties and that he will use his military power only to preserve the peace and enforce the law when a great soldier with u:i restricted power in his hands to oppress his fellow men voluntarily foregoes the chance of gratifying his selfi-ji ambition and devotes himself to the duty of build ing up the liberties and strengthen ing the laws of his country he pre sents an example ofthe highest pub lic virtue that human nature is capa ble of practicing examiner items it is huh time the people were casting about for suitable candidates for the legis lature and county offices the people should turn out in their pri mary meetings and make their selections without dictation and then conic to the county convention in mass and ratify their choice if they will do so there is no rea son to fear that improper selections will be made — there is no reason to fear that any but true and tried friends of our cause will be selected — there is no reason to fear that bolters independents or disorganizers will be recognized let the people speak out and take hold ofthe matter in a body an interesting book we have been shown an interesting book entitled the his tory ofthe yellow fever epidemic in mem phis in 1878 it was written by col j m keating of the memphis appeal and is very graphic in its description ol the scenes dur ing the terrible plague mr t li waring son of b p waring esq of charlotte and

in american history the ill of the people set aside under a threat of military violence was struck a deadly blow at our system of representative government the democratic party to pre serve the country from civil war submitted for the time in the firm and patriotic faith that the people would punish this crime in 1880 this issue precedes and dwarfs every other it imposes a more sacred duty upon the people of the union than ever addressed the consciences of a nation of freemen eighth we execrate the course of this ! administration in making places in the civil j seiviee a reward for
